It takes a lot of courage to support struggling football teams, but no one does it quite like Jason Logan. Discover why he’s throwing his weight behind the Colts, Eagles, and Panthers as the underdogs in Week 8 of the NFL season.
The countdown to Halloween is well underway. With just over a week left before candy-fueled kids come knocking on doors and mischief-makers start causing havoc, the excitement is palpable.
In our household, Halloween is a serious affair. My children meticulously selected and tested their costumes well in advance of the big day. Unfortunately, not everyone shares their enthusiasm for dressing up.
During a recent trip to buy socks (the pinnacle of excitement in my thrilling life), I stumbled upon the neighboring “Spirit Halloween” store. Let me tell you, the choices were slim pickings.
Planning a couples’ costume with your significant other? Think again. All that’s left are knockoff Super Mario Bros. costumes labeled “Italian Plumber Brothers,” and you just know that mustache is going to give you a strange rash.
In the realm of NFL betting, the favorites are snatched up early, leaving the underdogs lingering until the last minute. This trend is especially pronounced this year, with underdogs posting a lackluster 14-28-1 against the spread (ATS) record over the past three weeks.
Not every Halloween costume can be as cool as Maverick from “Top Gun.” Sometimes, you end up being Goose. But with a few pumpkin-spice martinis and some punch bowl concoction, you can embrace your inner “Great Pumpkin” and own that less-than-ideal costume.
Let’s hope our Week 8 NFL picks and predictions dazzle with a touch of magic – even if we’re sporting a cumbersome inflatable rooster ensemble.
Last week, I went 2-1 against the spread (ATS), bringing my season record to 11-10 ATS.
Now, onto the picks:
My first pick: Indianapolis Colts +6 at -110
The AFC South is a wild ride, and any bets involving this chaotic division have been a rollercoaster so far. Despite my reservations, I’m going with the Indianapolis Colts in Week 8. I refuse to touch the Titans and all those points – those guys can take a hike.
Indianapolis has been impressively competitive, winning four of their last five games. Their three losses this season have been by a combined 11 points. Despite injuries, the Colts have come through for bettors with a solid 6-1 ATS record.
