Week 8 NFL Picks Against the Spread (ATS): Beazley

Here are my Week 8 picks against the spread:

Cincinnati Bengals +2.5 over Baltimore Ravens (4 units)

The Ravens offense has been clicking lately, but let’s not jump to conclusions. The Bengals already beat the Ravens in Baltimore 23-16 early this season. In that game, Joe Flacco might have arguably played the worst half of football in his career. The Ravens are 1-4 ATS in their last five meetings at Cincy. Give me the Bengals to win, 24-20.

Chicago Bears +6 over New England Patriots (5 units)

This is way too many points versus a very talented Bears offense. The Patriots are going to have a very hard time slowing down Matt Forte, who leads the league in receptions this year. I also think Brandon Marshall is targeted early and often, even if Darrelle Revis is on him. And Jay Cutler plays better on the road than at home. I like the Bears to win outright, 31-23.

DraftKings $2.2 Millionaire Maker Week 8 Contest: Turn $27 (entry) into $1 Million (top prize).

Philadelphia Eagles at Arizona Cardinals — Over 48.5 (3 units)

I love me some Chip Kelly football. The Cardinals defense has been pretty terrible against the pass in recent weeks. I believe Nick Foles and the Eagles offense has a big game. The Eagles D isn’t any better either. I think this game will rival the Pack/N.O. game as the high scorer of the week: Philly 38, Arizona 36.

Washington Redskins +10 over Dallas Cowboys (3 units)

Rivalry game, plus the ‘Skins are 7-1 ATS vs. Dallas over the past eight games. I don’t care who Washington has at QB. I think they can keep this close. DeMarco Murray fails to rush over 100 yards (poll), but the Cowboys win a slugfest. Boys, 18-12.
