Cincy Jungle Staff Picks: NFL Week 8

Not thinking about the Bengals as much last week proved to be fortuitous for a few staffers and the cream is beginning to rise to the top.

Week 8 is upon us and Bengals football is back. Last week, the top three Cincy Jungle pick makers began to separate themselves as Rebecca, Scott, and Cody each tallied at least 10 wins, moving them to 72, 71, and 70 wins respectively. At the other end of the spectrum, I made some risky picks hoping to close the gap and they backfired, leaving me in last place with a paltry 56 wins. With the Bengals returning this week, Jason's picking of the opponent has also returned as he is the only staffer to pick the Steelers this week as they go up against Cincinnati.

There are two games this week that the staff unanimously agreed upon: We all like New England over Miami and Seattle over Dallas. We are most split on the Detroit vs Kansas City matchup in London, with six people chosing Detroit and five going with the Chiefs. The Chiefs are three point favorites in Vegas, and that is a legit three points, not the three points teams usually get for playing at home. This game is in London at 9:30 a.m. EST, so Arrowhead will not be rocking.

Without further ado here are our NFL Week 8 picks for every game.
