MIDNIGHT VIEWS WK 8

Week 8 was wild, messy, and above all....physical!!! Let's review:

1. Steelers vs Ravens: 28-24. Heavyweight bout, and it lived up to the hype. Steelers D makes two late-game stands to clinch the game as Lamar struggles.

2. Raiders vs Browns: 16-6. Six points against a defense that's given up 24 points in each of the last 6 games. Bad loss for Cleveland, good win for a Raiders team fighting for 1 of 3 wild card spots.

3. Patriots vs Bills: 24-21. 53 Bills>1 Bill.

4. Rams vs Dolphins: 28-17. Who knew Brian Flores would be the best coach from the Belichick coaching tree. Dolphins score touchdown in all 3 phases.

5. Vikings vs Packers: 28-22. Division games make no sense.

6. Jets vs Chiefs: 35-9. The most predictable game of the week.

7. Colts vs Lions: 41-21. The Colts play better and better each week, and their ability to control the line of scrimmage is the biggest reason for their success.

8. Titans vs Bengals: 31-20. Joe Burrow will win you games you are supposed to lose; Titans dig their own hole yet again.

9. Chargers vs Broncos: 31-30. The Chargers are cursed. Drew Lock throws walk-off touchdown.

10. Saints vs Bears: 26-23. Alvin Kamara made more plays than the Bears defense, and that was the difference in this game.

11. 49ers vs Seahawks: 37-27. Seattle bounces back with 37 points vs the 49ers, but their defense needs to get better and in a hurry.

12. Cowboys vs Eagles: 23-9. Alot of bad football on display, hard to believe one of these two teams will be in the playoffs.
