Hey everybody, welcome in to the Early Edge NFL Pics show Week 8 edition.

This is brought to you by BetMGM. Make it legendary. I'm Claudia Velafano, joined by my regular squad in studio with me as R.J. White.

I have Larry Hartstein, Will Brinson, joining me. And fellas, if you were a

better who liked the favorites on Sunday, you turned out pretty good. They went seven and oh

straight up and covering. Yeah, it was the day for the squares, Will. Yeah, I look, and I think

it's something Claudia to watch out for this week because there's eight of 13 games that we have this week are lined seven points or more which leads you

to believe that the books would like to get some of that money they lost to the public back

last week. Yeah, RJ you and I were talking before the show started. I'm like, I went back and

forth on this Colts game, which we'll talk about later laying 14. I don't want to lay 14. You got to lay eight and a half at the first half. It's tough with these big, these big spreads, and especially after favorites did so well last week. Yeah, people are getting confidence in these favorites. They're starting to see, we know who the bad teams are. We know who the good teams are. I think anybody that does weekly power ratings, they've all kind of coalesced to the same point. They all kind of look similar at this point. So it'll be interesting to see what injuries end up mattering down this week and down the road and where you can get differentiation from the market. And Larry, you're with us. We haven't seen you in a little bit. How are you doing? I'm doing great. and what you talked about, the five worst teams, people are just betting against them in cashing.

They got outscored by 100 points combined, talking about the Jets, the Raiders, the Saints, the Dolphins, the Titans, those five teams, if you've been playing against them, very profitable. And a team like the Chargers, who we're going to talk about now for Thursday

night football, a team you wanted to be careful not getting too excited about because of how they

started and how they look now. Chargers laying three, though, with all that said, against the Vikings

at home, total at 44 in the hook. The Chargers went from taking down all of their divisional opponents,

looking like the best offense in football the first few weeks, to now dropping three of their last four games.

The only win was a two-point win against the Dolphins with a last second field goal.

Vikings coming off a week seven last to the Eagles on a short week heading to L.A.

Larry, I'm going to come to you first. You like the Vikings.

It's down to three now, but you got three in the hook. Yeah, actually a lot of books still dealing

three and a half, and I disagree with this. I think this should be three or even less. The Vikings

move the ball up and down the field against the Eagles. They had a touchdown taken away on a very

questionable holding call. They were in the red zone six times. They averaged nearly six yards of play. They had a touchdown taken away on a very questionable holding call. They were in the
