We bounced back in Week 7 with an 11-4 mark (+2.94 units), which was buoyed by the Dallas Cowboys' dominant win over Washington at Jerry World.
I'm going back to the well with America's Team in Week 8, as Dak Prescott & Co. headline my latest NFL picks for the upcoming slate.

Expert Week 8 NFL moneyline picks
Vikings vs. Chargers: Chargers (-184)
I made the colossal mistake of betting on a team with Carson Wentz under center last week.
Never again.
Jets vs. Bengals: Bengals (-320)
It's 2025, and Joe Flacco remains a better option at QB than Justin Fields. Woody Johnson would probably admit it publicly if asked.
The Bengals will keep the Jets winless as their disastrous campaign continues.
Bears vs. Ravens: Bears (+245)
While Baltimore is getting Lamar Jackson back, in no way should the Ravens be 7-point favorites given the current state of their defense.
Chicago has found its rhythm in the running game, and De’Andre Swift will be in for a big day in Charm City.
Dolphins vs. Falcons: Falcons (-375)
It boggles the mind that Mike McDaniel is still the head coach of the Dolphins.
Until internal changes are made, it’s fade Miami every week.
Browns vs. Patriots: Patriots (-360)
We are witnessing Drake Maye’s rise to elite status, and although Quinshon Judkins has found a groove on the ground for Cleveland, the Patriots have stymied the running game all season.
Expect New England to roll in Foxborough.
Giants vs. Eagles: Eagles (-405)
Jalen Carter’s return to Philly’s lineup loomed large last week, as the All-Pro defensive tackle wreaked havoc in the trenches throughout the Eagles’ road win over Minnesota.
New York completely fell apart in the fourth quarter against Denver, and they'll be in trouble from the get-go in the City of Brotherly Love.
Bills vs. Panthers: Bills (-370)
Even a bye week won’t shore up Buffalo’s defense, but I’ll back Josh Allen over Bryce Young in a shootout.
If the Bills lose this one, the domino effect on the rest of their season will be glaring.
49ers vs. Texans: Texans (-118)
Houston is coming off a 27-19 loss to Seattle, where C.J. Stroud and the offense looked completely lifeless — and the game would’ve been an absolute blowout if not for the Texans’ defense.
That unit should give Mac Jones and the 49ers plenty of trouble, while Stroud has historically performed much better under the closed roof at NRG Stadium. A matchup against a banged-up San Francisco defense also looks promising.

Buccaneers vs. Saints: Buccaneers (-220)
Baker Mayfield laid his first egg of the season against Detroit, and Tampa Bay continues to battle a slew of injuries, trimming this line to -3.5 ahead of their divisional showdown at the Superdome.
Luckily for the Bucs, New Orleans has struggled to put points on the board, averaging just 17.9 per game heading into Sunday.
It may not be pretty, but Tampa Bay will get back in the win column.
Cowboys vs. Broncos: Cowboys (+146)
Dak Prescott is on pace for a career-best campaign, and the Cowboys’ defense showed signs of life by emphasizing man coverage against Washington.
Denver looked flat at home for three quarters against the Giants, so I’ll take America’s Team to pull off the upset in the Mile High City.
Titans vs. Colts: Colts (-1200)
The No. 1 offense in football is set to face the league’s worst-ranked defense.
Indy hung 41 points on its AFC South counterpart back in Week 3, and I expect a similar showing at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Packers vs. Steelers: Steelers (+146)
Green Bay flirted with disaster in Week 7, barely scraping by Jacoby Brissett and the Cardinals, so I’ll take a shot on the Steelers as home dogs.
A few extra days to prepare for this prime-time showdown should give Mike Tomlin’s team an added edge to bounce back after falling short in Cincy.
Commanders vs. Chiefs: Chiefs (-590)
Marcus Mariota is set to sub in for the injured Jayden Daniels, and even if Washington gets WRs Deebo Samuel and Terry McLaurin back for this MNF showdown, nothing about its defense inspires any confidence.
The Chiefs' offense looks unstoppable with Rashee Rice back in the mix, so KC is primed for its third straight win at Arrowhead.
My NFL moneyline record is 72-36 this season for +11.26 units.
