As we approach Week 8 in the NFL it’s all about chalk. After weeks of having the schedule break in a series of confusing matchups we finally have an easy route with some very obvious games. A total of nine games have unanimous picks among our panel,

The Los Angeles Rams and Minnesota Vikings will kick off Week 8 on Thursday night with a fun matchup at SoFi Stadium. The Vikings are predictably favored in this one, being a 5-1 team that just lost its first game on Sunday, but the Rams will be a tough out with Cooper Kupp and possibly Puka Nacua returning to the field.
