Thank God it's almost Thursday. The Green Bay Packers look to do this year what they couldn't do in 2019 twice.......defeat the San Francisco 49ers in San Francisco. And trust me the NFL will schedule this game every year until Aaron Rodgers and the Packers defeat the 49ers in 49rr-land. Packers have a small but significant advantage this Thursday as the 49ers are beaten up, injured and wounded after a convincing 13-3 season last year. This year they're at 4-4 .500% through the first half of the 2020 season. Will the 49ers return to form with their backups and raise again or continue to fall?

Thank you Coach Arians, thank you Tom Brady, thank you Buccaneers defense. Thank you officials for picking up the yellow flag on the 2-point try at the end of the game. Thank you, thank you, thank you. The Buccaneers won last night which took me to 7-7 in week 8 picks! .500% thank God! By far the worst week in predicting winners I've had this season. But still 81-37-1 overall, primetime picks 18-9! Primetime games are always tricky and if it wasn't for my Falcons last Thursday night, I would've sweep primetime games this week. Buccaneers may be the 1st team to host a Super Bowl in their stadium and city in the history of the NFL.

A horrible Sunday afternoon in week 8 for me on yesterday. As I flirted with disaster for almost a month and disaster struck. Week's 5 & 6 my record was (8-6), week 7 a whopping 12-2!!! Yesterday a dreadful (5-6) with last night's game and Thursday night's game between Atl. & Car. (6-7) total. The Cowboys didn't let me down though as I knew they wouldn't losing to yet another division rival in Philadelphia last night 23-9 was the final. Thank God for the Cowboys because if it wasn't for them I'd be 5-8 right now and tonight's MNF game between the Buccaneers & Giants wouldn't even matter.

Tom Brady loves playing certain teams and 1 of those teams will be his to take full advantage of on Monday Night in New York. The Giants are having a horrible season again in 2020 and with Daniel Jones 80 yard flounder a few weeks ago. He'll wish he had of made the run into the endzone more than ever as the Buccaneers defense is allowing 66.0 yards per game on the ground. 66!!!! Well under a 100.0. The Buccaneers need to be sure to not overlook these Giants though as their defense is progressing in the right direction and they're young but sneaky good with points allowed per game. There's not a defense Tommy hasn't seen though so oh well.

16-9 in my primetime picks now after last nights debacle. A rain game at night didn't work out so well for the home team. Either that or the Falcons weren't playing at home. Just like Dallas, Atlanta has a horrible home record overall in their "new edifice" & to shut the Panthers out 6-0 in the 4th quarter of last nights game was an absolute miracle of epic proportions if you ask me. The Falcons just don't keep teams from scoring points against them in the 4th quarter. The Falcons are historically known for giving up leads in the 4th quarter for over a decade. But last night Atlanta changed the narrative, at least for this game anyways.

Well looks like another Sunday Night Football snoozer as both the Cowboys and the Eagles are horrible again this season. With 4 wins combined for these NFC East rivals Philadelphia looks to keep winning on Sunday Night. The Cowboys don't know whether they're going or coming. The Cowboys do know they're not playoff bound. The Eagles can 3peat the NFC East this year. (DAL. was my preseason pick for NFC EAST CHAMPIONS) hopefully I'll stay awake long enough for this game. If not I'm positive I won't miss anything special.

Jimmy Garoppolo and the 49ers fly north to face there nemesis in Russell Wilson and the Seahawks. Not going easy outing Jimmy "G" at all. The Seahawks look to get back in the win column on Sunday afternoon as they lost on SNF to their newest rival hated the most, the Arizona Cardinals. This NFC West division is too talented for the rest of the NFC & eventually Seattle will knock San Francisco out of this years playoff race or vise versa.

After a much needed bye week in week 6 for the Saints, they found themselves in a pure dog fight last against their former teammate Teddy Bridgewater. Bridgewater lead the Panthers against Brees and company but they failed....this time! Now Brees and the Saints are on the road in Chicago for the 2nd straight year. Khalil Mack and the Bears defense are looking to gain their 6th victory of the 2020 season and it may be done, with ease, we'll see.

Rookie quarterback Justin Herbert has been amazing up to this point in the season but he still has a ways to go as he is just that, a rookie. And with a stubborn 3-4 Broncos defense waiting for him this Sunday in Denver it's not going to be easy at all fans or not. However it would be somewhat easier since the fans aren't causing the entire edifice at Mile High to shake as a stakeout crowd would. Drew Lock looks to get better as the Broncos future at quarterback but this Chargers defense is better than their 2020 win loss record.

Aaron Rodgers and the Packers look to bury their division rivals on Sunday as they currently try to secure Houston Texans star defensive end J.J. WATT. Kirk Cousins of the Vikings has likely dodged a bullet until next year that is. He already saw Watt earlier this season but if the Packers acquire J.J. Watt in this potentially blockbuster trade before next Tuesday. Kirk Cousins will have to feel Watt's fury twice a year. The Vikings season is obviously done with 2 months still to play. Players are still earning checks though, right?
