NFL Week 8 Results

This week I went for eight picks correct, five incorrect, and moved up to the 69.9th percentile among players of ESPN's Pigskin Pick'em Game. Correct picks in green, incorrect picks in red:

• Los Angeles Chargers beat Minnesota Vikings
• Atlanta Falcons beat Miami Dolphins
• Cincinnati Bengals beat New York Jets
• New England Patriots beat Cleveland Browns
• Philadelphia Eagles beat New York Giants
• Buffalo Bills beat Carolina Panthers
• Chicago Bears beat Baltimore Ravens*
• San Francisco 49ers beat Houston Texans
• Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat New Orleans Saints
• Denver Broncos beat Dallas Cowboys
• Indianapolis Colts beat Tennessee Titans
• Pittsburgh Steelers beat Green Bay Packers*
• Kansas City Chiefs beat Washington Commanders

When I picked the Bears to beat the Ravens, it was an upset pick; by the time the game kicked off, it was the majority pick. So 55% of the field ended up wrong on that one.

As for the Steelers-Packers game, as much as I think signing Aaron Rodgers was a dumb idea for the Steelers, they had been playing fairly well and I thought they'd have a little extra gas in the tank to take on Rodgers's former team. But no dice.
