Week 8 is here, the wings are hot, and the recliner is fully reclined. The Vikings are the only unbeaten team left and the Chargers are the only winless one. Minnesota heads to Detroit, so I'm not moving off this couch.
My top 5:
- Minnesota Vikings: 6-0, W6, and the only unbeaten team in the league. Kyler Murray and company keep winning ugly, 16-10 over Indy last time. Now they go to Detroit. Wings are ready.
- San Francisco 49ers: 6-1 with the best point differential in the league at +58. The ATL loss stung, but the run D is 5th at 89.0 yards a game. Bye week means more wings for me, rest for them.
- Buffalo Bills: 5-1 and Josh Allen keeps dragging shootouts across the finish line. Run D is a middling 15th at 101.0 a game, so Baltimore comes to town with a plan. Fun to watch, scary to sweat.
- Chicago Bears: 5-2, +37, and the run D is 3rd at 87.6 yards a game. If you can't stop the run, you can't win, and the Bears can stop it. Beat NE 30-24 last week. Seattle on Monday is a real test.
- Kansas City Chiefs: 5-1, but that 3-20 loss at Seattle was a cold wing of a game. Still +40 on the year. Mahomes heads to Denver to fix it. I threw a remote at that one.
Think I'm wrong? Tell me why.
