Daily Norseman Staff NFL Picks, Week 8

Posted by Admin November 1, 2026 NFL

It is time, once again, for our staff of learned (pronounced LEARN-ed) NFL blowhards to make our picks for this week in the NFL. We’ll be picking all of the games around the league for this week. . .well, except me, because after I sent out the e-mail to everyone else reminding them to get their pick for the Thursday night game this week in before kickoff, I promptly failed to get my pick for TNF in on time because I got home from work too late to get the pick in, and my phone wouldn’t let me log into my Tallysight app.

Which is fine, because in hindsight, I would have gotten the pick wrong anyway. I saved myself from myself, I guess.

Anyway, here’s our standings widget, where you can take a look at how we’re all doing this season. You can look at our picks for any individual week or the season as a whole in any of the three categories we make our picks in.

With that, here are our picks for this week’s games. As always, we remind you that any of the picks involving numbers, such as spread picks and over/unders, may be different for each person depending on when they punched their picks into the Tallysight system. If you’re going to be making any wagers of your own, make sure to check with your sportsbook of choice before doing so.

Unanimous Picks

Cincinnati Bengals over Tennessee Titans
Buffalo Bills over Baltimore Ravens
Jacksonville Jaguars over Indianapolis Colts
Los Angeles Rams over Los Angeles Chargers
New England Patriots over Miami Dolphins
Washington Commanders over Philadelphia Eagles
Seattle Seahawks over Chicago Bears
Green Bay Packers over Carolina Panthers (everyone gets it right because I didn’t get my pick in)

5-1 Picks

Las Vegas Raiders over New York Jets (Eric dissenting)
Minnesota Vikings over Detroit Lions (Eric dissenting in what is clearly a “reverse jinx” move)
Kansas City Chiefs over Denver Broncos (Warren dissenting)
