We are entering the eighth week of the 2018 NFL
season
Marquise
Goodwin Jersey , which means a sizable chunk of the league will reach the
halfway point of their schedule. We have one remaining undefeated team, with the
Los Angeles Rams demolishing our San Francisco 49ers to improve to 7-0 on the
season. The 49ers get their own chance to bounce back with a road game against
fellow cellar-dweller Arizona. In the meantime, we open the week with the Brock
Osweiler revenge game as the Houston Texans host the Miami Dolphins on Thursday
Night Football. It¡¯s time once again for our pick ¡®em and Survivor pool contest
options. We have the weekly prediction contest this season, and you can make
those picks here. We also have a traditional ¡°Pick ¡®Em¡± contest. If you still
want to join, the group name is Niners Nation, the group ID is 45734, and the
password is go49ers. You¡¯re pretty far behind, but feel free to join.I was
knocked out of my Survivor pool this past week thanks to my pick of the Jaguars
over the Texans. I should have taken the Rams as the safe play and moved on, but
such is life. I¡¯ll continue offering up tips each week. For Week 8, the Patriots
and Rams are the safe plays if you¡¯re prepared to use those big names. If
not
Earl Mitchell
Jersey , the Bears at home against the Jets might be your value pick of
choice. I expect the Chiefs to crush Denver this week, but I¡¯m skeptical about
it as a Survivor pick.Tonight, Week 8 opens with the Texans hosting the
Dolphins. Both teams are 4-3, with Houston holding a one-game lead in the AFC
South, and the Dolphins sitting a game back of the Patriots in the AFC East. The
Texans are a 7.5-point favorite, according to sportsbooks monitored by
OddsShark. Brock Osweiler is playing some decent football right now. He could
regress sooner rather than later, but I think the ¡°revenge¡± game brings another
decent performance. I¡¯m taking the points with Miami in what could be a better
game than many might expect.Here are the rest of my straight-up picks. I was 5-8
last week, bringing my season record to 70-34-2. I¡¯ll have my picks against the
spread later this weekend.Dolphins @ Texans: TexansEagles vs. Jaguars (London):

Wednesday, May 8th, 2019 edition of the Golden
Nuggets
K¡¯Waun
Williams Jersey , a daily compilation of San Francisco 49ers links from
the Internet"The 49ers did a lot in the offseason to bolster their defense
heading into the new season. Drafting Nick Bosa and signing Dee Ford should
improve the 49ers pass rush tremendously. But another piece that may be just as
important for the defense¡¯s improvement could be Richard Sherman and his ability
to get back to full health. He injured his Achilles injury in 2017 and the 49ers
took a chance that he could get back to his normal form. Even though he was able
to play in 14 games last season, he still dealt with a lot of injuries. He was
the most consistent corner on the team, but had no interceptions. With more time
to deal with his injuries, he may get closer to the Richard Sherman that the NFL
is used to and with an improved pass rush, that could spell trouble for
offenses. In a set of roster moves, the 49ers added more offensive line depth. C
Wesley Johnson was given a one year deal and he will be given a chance to
compete for a roster spot. He played in 10 games last season with the Miami
Dolphins. The 49ers starting offensive line is not completely healthy, so the
team needed to have depth on the roster. 49ers TE Marcus Lucas was waived on
Tuesday. He was signed to the practice squad in late December. 49ers linksNo
