It all came down to Monday night.
Through Sunday, the analyst had compiled a flawless 13‑0 record for Week 8. The sole remaining obstacle to an undefeated PFT streak was Monday night’s matchup between Chicago and Seattle.
The analyst had selected Seattle to win.
Even with the inevitable blemish, the perfect run may be broken, but the analyst remains committed to a 13‑1 finish and will continue striving for a full season sweep.
Seasonally, the record now stands at 73‑49‑1, reflecting a 59.3 % success rate.
The objective for Week 9 is to avoid a disastrous 1‑14 slide, as 30 teams will compete while the Steelers and Titans enjoy a bye.
Jaguars at Ravens (Thursday night)
The Jaguars enter the contest on a short week and are considered a trap pick, given their narrow escape against a depleted Indianapolis team in Week 8.
Jaguars 27, Ravens 13.
Bengals vs. Falcons (in Madrid)
The Falcons’ volatility makes them unreliable, especially when facing a Bengals offense that has been performing at a high rate. The high‑stakes international atmosphere is expected to elevate Joe Burrow to playoff‑caliber play.
Bengals 27, Falcons 23.
Broncos at Panthers
This matchup echoes Super Bowl 50, pitting a clear Super Bowl contender against a team that does not currently possess championship aspirations.
Broncos 24, Panthers 16.
Cowboys at Colts
The contest mirrors Super Bowl V, featuring a franchise aware of its non‑contender status versus an organization still harboring unrealistic ambitions.
Cowboys 27, Colts 17.
Jets at Chiefs
The Chiefs may appear to be improvising under pressure, but they are ultimately expected to dominate the Jets and secure a comprehensive victory.
Chiefs 30, Jets 13.
Lions at Dolphins
The Dolphins pose a significant threat, and the Lions must respect their opponent given the strength of the NFC North division.
Lions 24, Dolphins 10.
Browns at Saints
The Saints retain hope for a turnaround and are eager to prevent an opening 0‑4 record at the Superdome.
Saints 23, Browns 14.
Giants at Eagles
The NFC East has taken an unexpected turn, with the Giants leading the division and the Eagles currently at the bottom.
Giants 23, Eagles 13.
Rams at Commanders
The Rams have recovered from an early‑season slump and are now performing at a high level.
Rams 27, Commanders 19.
Texans at Chargers
The Texans show occasional signs of progress, while the Chargers remain entrenched in a losing pattern and show no indication of improvement.
Texans 21, Chargers 7.
Packers at Patriots
With Tom Brady’s return to Foxboro generating buzz, the Patriots aim to stay competitive with the Bills, while the Packers, despite their current strengths, are still seeking the return of Micah Parsons to reach elite status.
Patriots 31, Packers 21.
Cardinals at Seahawks
A fifth defeat for the Seahawks before Veteran’s Day would likely relegate them to a vacant schedule by Valentine’s Day.
Seahawks 28, Cardinals 17.
Raiders at 49ers
The renewed rivalry, intense enough to pause preseason contests, is expected to produce a competitive showdown, with the Raiders providing a challenge.
49ers 24, Raiders 20.
Buccaneers at Bears (Sunday night)
The Buccaneers have solidified a winning formula and are positioned to clinch the NFC South division.
Bears 24, Buccaneers 21.
Bills at Vikings (Monday night)
Josh Allen’s ability to locate gaps in the Vikings defense will likely outweigh Minnesota’s offensive shortcomings.
Bills 22, Vikings 17.
