NFL Picks ~ Week Eight

Hello and welcome to a special Thursday edition of Tuesdays with Swindy. It’s week eight in the NFL and I'm scrapping that new system I started last week and going back to picking by my gut feeling. What that meant this week was picking almost exclusively favorites to cover the spread. We'll see if that can get me back above .500 for the year. Locks are Minnesota, Jacksonville, and LA Rams. And now... as I’ve been doing every week for nearly 30 years, I am picking against the spread for every NFL game:
