NFL Week 8 featured a number of surprising upsets and games that came down to the wire, including an amazing comeback win by the Broncos while the Vikings, Bengals, and Dolphins pulled off major upsets. Two AFC heavyweights in the Steelers and Ravens slugged it out until the final seconds where Pittsburgh remained undefeated, giving NFL fans a preview of what may be to come in January, while the Patriots loss and subsequent 2-5 record might have them on the outside looking in for the first time in over a decade. The Eagles-Cowboys Sunday Night game capped off an interesting week of football games that shifted the landscape of the NFL in 2020.

Most Valuable Intel: PIT-BAL had playoff football written all over it
This matchup gave fans a good preview of what may be to come in January as the Steelers and Ravens had another classic AFC North showdown. Pittsburgh has the look of a legit contender after taking down the reigning MVP and his squad in a back-and-forth battle, coming up with major key stops on defense late in the game and creating multiple turnovers. Baltimore will surely bounce back, but PIT is going to make it tough for them going forward as they remain the last undefeated team in the league at 7-0 and will face the Ravens again before the postseason begins.
Final Results: PIT (+175) d. BAL (-205) 28-24 [PIT +4 | o44]

Most Valuable Intel: BUF is now the team to beat in the AFC East
After spending several years in the shadow of the Patriots’ dynasty, the Bills have now emerged as the leaders of the AFC East. Cam and the Pats put on a much better showing than last week, but costly errors proved to be their downfall as they dropped their third straight game and are faced with a daunting 2-5 record as opposed to the Bills’ 6-2 season so far. While there is a lot of season still left, Bill Belichick will need to work miracles to pull off a playoff spot, and even its biggest hardcore fans are beginning to turn their attention to next year and just consider this an “asterisk season.”
Final Results: BUF (-205) d. NE (+175) 24-21 [NE +4 | o55]

Most Valuable Intel: Green Bay’s run defense could be its downfall
After being shredded and battered by Dalvin Cook, the Packers looked like a team with a glaring flaw that could prove to be detrimental to their success if it isn’t fixed: the run defense. GB could have won this game easily had it simply contained Cook and held him to half his production (which still would’ve been 100+ yards & 2 TDs). This isn’t a new issue, however; while the Packers did have some injuries on the defensive side, stopping the run has been an issue for them since Matt Lafleur has been the HC and they need to add defensive reinforcements before the deadline to ensure this doesn’t unravel their championship aspirations in January/February.
Final Results: MIN (+215) d. GB (-255) 28-22 [MIN +5.5 | o47]

Most Valuable Intel: Joe Burrow is turning it around in Cincinnati
Joe Burrow got the biggest win of his young career so far and the Bengals finally put together a winning performance in a big upset victory over the Titans. Burrow continues to show a ton of poise under center despite having a terrible O-Line and certainly has the look of a winner that is infectious around him. If Cincy can protect him better in the future, the team has a real chance of being a threat in the AFC with a promising young QB and solid weapons around him for years to come.
Final Results: CIN (+280) d. TEN (-335) 31-20 [CIN +7.5 | o49.5]
Key Fact: Dolphins are the 3rd team ever to win despite being outgained by 300+ yards

Most Valuable Intel: Dolphins don’t need Tua to be elite with this defense
As ‘Tua Time’ officially began in Miami, the Dolphins got a big win over the Rams thanks to a stellar performance on defense. Tua didn’t have a fantastic performance by any means, but he took a small step forward in becoming the full-time starter for MIA. His next two games will be good challenges as he will go up against a hot Cardinals team coming off a big win over SEA and a bye week, followed by a matchup with the Chargers and fellow rookie QB and offensive ROY contender Justin Herbert. It’s unlikely the Dolphins can create turnovers at this rate again, so Miami will likely need more from Tua to get wins in the future.
Final Results: MIA (+160) d. LAR (-180) 28-17 [MIA +3.5 | u46.5]
Key Fact: Detroit Lions are now 5-14 at home since 2018 (T-worst record in NFL)

Most Valuable Intel: Indy’s defense/rushing attack combo is tough to beat
With Marlon Mack going down for the season, Philip Rivers showing his age early-on, and star WR T.Y. Hilton basically being a nonfactor, most would think the Colts would be far worse off than 5-2. IND continues to find ways to win games thanks to a stout defense and emerging RB duo in Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines. Rivers isn’t really a Pro Bowl-caliber QB anymore, but if he can stay efficient, this Colts team is capable of making a playoff run with a formidable rushing attack/defense that can win games.
Final Results: IND (-180) d. DET (+160) 41-21 [IND -3.5 | o49]

Most Valuable Intel: The best team in the league vs. the worst team
A game projected to be a blowout by most lived up to that standard as the Chiefs took apart a hapless Jets team 35-9. In a game featuring the reigning Super Bowl Champion and the upcoming owners of the No.1 draft pick, the best team vs. the worst team played out exactly how it should’ve with Mahomes regaining his MVP form, tossing more TDs against the Jets than NYJ has all season combined. This serves as a tune-up for the champs on their path to back-to-back titles while the Jets are hoping to #TankForTrevor.
Final Results: KC (-5000) d. NYJ (+1500) 35-9 [KC -20 | u49]

Most Valuable Intel: OBJ is severely missed by CLE’s offense
After going down with a torn ACL last week, Odell Beckham Jr. will miss the rest of the 2020 season and some believed Baker Mayfield and the Browns offense could be better without him since Mayfield shined after his departure vs. CIN. However, OBJ’s absence was felt against the Raiders, as Cleveland was only able to muster up 6 points. It’s going to be an uphill battle going forward for the Browns who need to figure out a new winning formula without OBJ. Getting Kareem Hunt the ball will be key to moving the sticks and Jarvis Landry will have to step up as he becomes the new WR1.
Final Results: LVR (+103) d. CLE (-123) 16-6 [LVR +1 | u48]
Key Fact: Chargers have tied the 2003 Falcons for the most consecutive losses (3) after leading by 17+ points in NFL history

Most Valuable Intel: Chargers are the AFC’s version of the Falcons
Well, another week meant another blown lead by the Atlanta Falcons Los Angeles Chargers. This loss was especially tough considering the Chargers were up by as many as 3 TDs and looking like they’d run away with a division-win. Despite sliding to a 2-5 record, LA has a chance to bounce back with a rather soft schedule coming up, and realistically a few plays away from sporting a 5-2 or even a 6-1 record this season.
Final Results: DEN (+130) d. LAC (-150) 31-30 [DEN +3 | o44.5]

Most Valuable Intel: Saints have the best 2-min offense in the NFL
While New Orleans has had far from a smooth season thus far with their best player missing every game after Week 1, the Saints still sit at 5-2 halfway into the season with a monumental game against the Bucs coming up. Drew Brees has started to settle in after a rough few weeks in September, but the defense still gives up big plays and undisciplined penalties in crucial situations. However, NOLA has still earned one of the best records in the league because of the most efficient 2-minute offense in the league. At the end of halves, games, and OT’s, Drew Brees dices up defenses for 3, 5, & 10yd completions over and over again to slowly drive down and put points on the board, as consistently as anyone in the league.
Final Results: NO (-240) d. CHI (+200) 26-23 [CHI +5.5 | o41]

Most Valuable Intel: As good as the NFC West is, Seattle is the cream of the crop
After 8 weeks, the NFC West continues to be the NFL’s best division by far, but the Seahawks have proven to be the clear-cut best team in that division. Russell Wilson added to his MVP season with another fantastic performance that now increases his NFL-leading number of pass TDs to 26. The hyper-competitive NFC West features three teams fighting for wild card spots while the Seahawks are looking to possess the top spot in the whole conference.

Most Valuable Intel: Expect an under-.500 Philly team hosting a 12-4 Bucs or Saints team in Rd1
It’s hard to believe a team with a 3-4-1 record could lead its division, yet the Eagles are just that. At the pace each NFC East team is going, there is a very good chance that its winner will finish the season with a losing record. They have the best QB in the division and are the only team that looks somewhat functional right now. If Wentz can cut down on the brutal mental mistakes that continue occurring and stops trying to do too much by himself with the ball, PHI could limp into the playoffs where they’ll host a much-better Saints or Bucs team in Rd 1.
Final Results: PHI (-410) d. DAL (+330) 23-9 [PHI -10 | o43]

Most Valuable Intel: Julio Jones is still the NFL’s best WR
For years, it was Julio Jones and Antonio Brown that were viewed as 1A & 1B as the league’s top wideout. AB is no longer in the picture, but now young WR’s like Michael Thomas, DeAndre Hopkins, Tyreek Hill, and DK Metcalf have recently challenged the throne. But Jones has been a consistent producer since the day he entered the league and continues to rack up elite production halfway into his 11th career season. Compiling 7 REC for 137 YDS against the Panthers, Jones made history as he passed HOFer Torry Holt for the 2nd-most REC YDS by a player in their first 10 seasons in NFL history, adding on to his already future HOF career. While Julio might not always score the most TDs or finish atop the NFL in receiving yards, there’s no WR a QB rather have out there than Julio Jones, and it was proven once again on Thursday Night.

Most Valuable Intel: Daniel Jones can win and lose games, sometimes in the same game
It may sound contradictory, but somehow Giants QB Daniel Jones comes up with the biggest plays of the game for his team to put them in a position to win and suddenly erases all that effort with one costly mistake. It’s the equivalent of running a race, leading the entire time, and then tripping and losing right before crossing the finish line (in Jones’ case, this quite literally happened against PHI). Since getting his first NFL win as a starter (against TB, ironically), Jones is 3-17 with all three wins coming against the Washington Football Team. Time is running out for the young signal-caller to eliminate these mistakes from his game. He can be a franchise QB without those brutal decisions/throws, but if he can’t stop turning the ball over, NYG will be looking for a new franchise QB sooner than later.
