I went 10-4 in the seventh week of the 2026 NFL season.
After a few big trades this week, I tried to wait as long as possible to make my picks for the week. Well, something came up on Thursday and I couldn’t get my picks up in time for the Thursday Night Football game.
The Colts made a couple big trades sending Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks and DeForest Buckner to the Niners. Will they make any more trades before they face the Jaguars on Sunday?
Can the Chicago Bears win outright on the road against the Seahawks?
We pick almost every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season.
