NFL Predictions: Week 8's Winners and Losers
The Jacksonville Jaguars will look to keep things rolling in Week 8, taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road ahead of their Week 9 bye.
To keep track of how we see the NFL this year, we will be doing weekly win-loss predictions, tracking our progress as the year goes on.
Last week: 6-7
Season: 63-43 (59.4%)
Jaguars vs. Steelers
Winner: Jaguars
I don't have much faith in the Steelers offense most weeks, but especially not against a Jaguars' defense that has hit their stride.
Buccaneers vs. Bills
Winner: Buccaneers
This is my potential reach of the week ... I just feel like the Bills are in a weird place right now and drop another game before they really wake up.
Falcons vs. Titans
Winner: Falcons
The Titans might run a two-quarterback system on Sunday, which, well, says it all.
Texans vs. Panthers
Winner: Texans
The Panthers get an up close look of the quarterback they should have drafted.
Rams vs. Cowboys
Winner: Cowboys
The Rams are better than anyone expected them to be, but I don't think they can block the Cowboys' front.
Vikings vs. Packers
Winner: Vikings
The Packers are finally in the land of mediocre quarterbacks and, buddy, it is something.
Patriots vs. Dolphins
Winner: Dolphins
I know the Dolphins might not have their two best offensive players in Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, but Mike McDaniel should be able to scheme up enough to get ahead of a bad Patriots offense.
Saints vs. Colts
Winner: Saints
I think a good Saints defense makes Gardner Minshew look flustered this week, while the Colts' defense has slipped some in recent weeks.
Jets vs. Giants
Winner: Jets
If the Giants play their best quarterback in Tyrod Taylor, they might have a chance in this. If Daniel Jones plays, the Jets' defense should dominate.
Eagles vs. Commanders
Winner: Eagles
The Commanders are just spinning their wheels until the 2023 season ends and they determine their next direction. I think this is the final game of the Young/Sweat duo, too.
Browns vs. Seahawks
Winner: Seahawks
I would take the Seahawks regardless of who starts at quarterback for the Browns. Geno Smith is still playing really sound football.
Ravens vs. Cardinals
Winner: Ravens
Lamar Jackson is right there with Patrick Mahomes as MVP of the 2023 season so far. He will keep rolling this week.
Bengals vs. 49ers
Winner: Bengals
The cracks are showing in San Francisco. The Bengals win a sloppy game, methinks.
Chiefs vs. Broncos
Winner: Chiefs
The Broncos got a nice win over a middling Packers team, but the Chiefs are rolling right now.
Bears vs. Chargers
Winner: Chargers
Surely Brandon Staley can get his defense back on track against a backup quarterback, right? Right?
Raiders vs. Lions
Winner: Lions
The Raiders just lost to a chest-tatted Tyson Bagent, the vibes are all-time bad in Las Vegas.
