NFL - Week 8 Predictions

Ringer's Record
Last Week ATS: 7-6
Last Week SU: 10-3

Season ATS: 48-56 (46%)
Season SU: 60-44 (58%)

The parity in the NFL continues. As we head into the unofficial half way point of the season, there are 17 teams that are .500 or within 1 game of being .500. That is an astonishing number. That also means that we could be in for some very tight races for playoff spots in the 2nd half of the season. I feel like I am finally getting my act together, but still have plenty of ground to make up. I stand at 48-56 on the year, coming off of a respectable 7-6 record ATS last week. There is light at the end of the tunnel though, just like there is for more than half of the NFL's teams. Here is how I expect Week 8 to unfold.
