Filling in for Musky this week. Tonight Week 8 kicks off with the Panthers hosting the hapless Falcons. Have a good week!

I can do better than that. After a night with no power and just coming back less than an hour ago, here is my stab at it;

COVID updates:

  • Not finding any recent news, so no new cases or fines that I've found.

News:

  • Steelers are the only undefeated team and travel to Baltimore for Sunday's game.
  • Antonio Brown has been practicing with his newest new team, Tampa Bay. HC Arians said he looks "fantastic"
  • Bengals's QB Joe Burrows was named the FedEX player of the week.

Injuries:
ESPN Power Ranking - Week 8:
iBoats Pigskin Pick'em:

  • Easy pickin's last week? 5 top scorers with 11 wins in Week 7!

Hmmmmm, nobody picked Atl.....
And you are surprised? I didn't go to bed while the game was on because I figured the Panthers would come back as Atlanta snatched defeat from the jaws of victory again. I was not counting on this being the beginning of the Panther's second half of the season decline ... awww, but the 2 universes were aligning to make this a certain loss for the Panthers and a win for the Falcons.

Steelers/Ravens game had some tempers flaring. With offsetting unnecessary roughness calls, Ravens Judon tossed for contacting a ref.

The two top ranked defenses in Pittsburgh #1 and Baltimore #2 met and Pittsburgh prevailed, staying unbeaten!

Go Steelers!

My Pick'em for this week looks like Christmas - Mostly red with some green, only missing twinkly lights.

I'm tryin'! I got really behind the ball in the beginning. I literally forgot about the game until I was on here looking for parts and scrolled the forum. Hey it's 2020! That's my excuse and I'm stikin' to it!
I'm a 9er fan and not sure what to think about Jimmy G. Regardless, it looks like he will be sidelined for the immediate future at least.
Good luck for the remainder of the season everyone.

12th - Make your picks now and you can change them later. You can start with tomorrows game. I get weekly reminders and set TNF when I get the email.

Good luck to you, but not too good, you know! :)
