NFL Week 8 Picks 2025 (Thursday 23rd October-Monday 27th October)

As we approach the end of October, the NFL schedule is firmly into the Bye Weeks and the trade deadline is fast approaching.

We are already beginning to see a separation from contenders to pretenders and there are also teams out there who are looking forward to the end of the season and the impending shake-ups that will be needed.

Two of those are in the AFC East- the New York Jets continue to lurch from one pitiful performance to another and Head Coach Aaron Glenn may need his team to show something if he is going to be more than a one and done performer. The owner seems to have a lot more faith in Aaron Glenn and not so much in Quarter Back Justin Fields after comments made this week and there is likely going to be a change behind Center with Fields now looking like his days in the NFL as a starter are firmly over.

He will still draw some consideration as a backup considering his obvious athletic talent, but the Jets are likely to be moving on from him.

They are fimly in line to finish with the Number 1 Overall Pick in the Draft and there are going to be a number of Quarter Backs coming out of College that will draw interest.

Closely 'chasing' the Jets for the Number 1 Draft Pick are my Miami Dolphins- they have been absolutely terrible this season and Tua Tagovailoa is another Quarter Back who has had enough chances to prove himself. Instead he had a terrible game against the Cleveland Browns and was benched, while lame duck Head Coach Mike McDaniel is almost certainly going to be fired and it has become a case of when rather than if.

It is becoming clearer by the week as to which teams are looking poor, but the Super Bowl contenders are not exactly pushing clear of the pack.

The Kansas City Chiefs and Detroit Lions look good, but have vulnerabilities, while the Indianapolis Colts are the only team with at least six wins.

Over the next month the picture should become clearer, but for now there is plenty of jockeying for position at the very top of the sport.

Week 8 is the one that has the most teams on a Bye at the same time with six settling down and looking to come out with momentum.

If someone was being brutally honest, they may suggest it is a pretty weak schedule over the coming days in terms of match ups that may draw interest.

The biggest game is clearly Aaron Rodgers facing the Green Bay Packers for the first time in his career and that is set for Sunday Night Football, but overall it does look like one that we can look forward to moving through and then having better games in the weeks and months ahead.

You can never dismiss a winning week, but it was not a huge success and so the overall season numbers remain disappointing.

Hopefully the Week 7 selections give us something to build upon going into the Week 8 action.

As said last week, players at Bet365, Bodog and Bovada can sign up with the links attached and the Picks will be placed in this thread over the coming days, beginning with another Thursday Night Football selection.

Minnesota Vikings @ Los Angeles Chargers Pick: At the start of the 2025 season, both the Los Angeles Chargers (4-3) and Minnesota Vikings (3-3) would have had to carry big expectations.

Through three weeks of the season, the Chargers looked like they were handling their business with wins over each of the AFC West Divisional rivals, but three losses in four games has seen them slip behind the Denver Broncos in the standings. Injuries have really been an issue for the Chargers, but they need to find a way to recover and bounce back on Thursday Night Football.

There have been injury problems for the Minnesota Vikings to overcome, most notably to Quarter Back JJ McCarthy who was promoted as the team let both Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones walk. The fact those two players are a combined 10-3 with their new teams will not have been lost on the Minnesota fans, while inconsistency means they have yet to win or lose two games in a row.

Both teams will be expecting to have their successes in this one.

A short week is never ideal with the injuries that the teams have and both sides have already noted that some of the players could have been available if this game was being played on a Sunday rather than a Thursday. It does mean some important names will be ready to go in Week 9 and beyond, but also makes it more challenging to build some positive momentum.

Justin Herbert is doing all he can for the Los Angeles Chargers and had a monster game against the Indianapolis Colts, albeit in a losing effort. His Offensive Line has been really banged up, which is always going to put additional strain on a Quarter Back, while the test is going to be trying to establish the run against this Minnesota Defensive Line that has been playing well in recent games.

If the Chargers are having to operate from third and long spots, the Minnesota pass rush is likely going to be swarming around Justin Herbert. He may still make some positive plays against this Vikings Secondary, especially with the Receivers stepping up, but Justin Herbert may find it tough to move the ball with consistency. Throwing out of pressurised spots also leads to mistakes being made and this Minnesota Defensive unit have to believe they can at least stall some drives and give their own team a chance.

The problem for Carson Wentz and the Vikings is that they have been lacking on the Line of Scrimmage when they have the ball- as good as Minnesota have been playing the run, they have not been able to get things going with consistency when trying to pound the rock.

After recent performances put forward by the Los Angeles Defensive Line, this may be a game in which Minnesota can have more success when they give the ball to Jordan Mason. There is a chance that the Vikings could have Aaron Jones back this week, which would be a huge boost, but the likelihood is that he is given the extra time to recover with this being a short week so it will be up to Jordan Mason to put the team in a positive position.

If the Vikings Offensive Line can exploit the running game as others have against the Chargers, it will make the life of Carson Wentz so much easier.

He did have two Interceptions against the Philadelphia Eagles in the Week 7 loss, but Carson Wentz found some chemistry with the likes of Jordan Addison and Justin Jefferson with the pair combining for over 200 Receiving yards. Being in front of the chains should see both Addison and Jefferson have success in finding windows in this Los Angeles Secondary and it could see the Vikings having a bit more consistent success compared with the home team.

Minnesota have allowed too many Sacks in recent games, but this is a Chargers team that have not really been able to find the pressure they would have wanted up front. It could also be a day when Carson Wentz does not have to hold the ball for too long if the Vikings are playing in front of the down and distance and the biggest threat is that the veteran Quarter Back turns the ball over.

He has 4 Interceptions already and with only 5 Touchdown passes so it is a real concern for the road team.

However, this feels like a good chance for the Vikings to bounce back and they are getting more than a Field Goal worth of points, which feels like a lot.

None of the last five games played by the Los Angeles Chargers have been won by this team by more than 3 points, while they fallen to 1-4-1 against the spread when set as the favourite this season.

This is so different to last season, while the Vikings are 8-1 against the spread on Thursday when playing after losing the previous game.

A big game is coming up against the Detroit Lions, but the Minnesota Vikings will have a mini-Bye before that and so can focus on this one. They can avoid a big defeat and this could easily be a game that comes down to a 3 point win either way, which makes the points being received by the road team feel crucial to the final outcome.

Miami Dolphins @ Atlanta Falcons Pick: They are still searching for some consistency to really feel like they can compete in the NFC South, but the Atlanta Falcons (3-3) are in touch with the two teams that hold a winning record.

This week they are going to have to play with a backup Quarter Back, but Kirk Cousins is hugely experienced and there has been a feeling that he underperformed last season by fighting through injury. He is expected to suit up instead of Michael Penix Jr, who has been struggling with an injury since the defeat to the San Francisco 49ers, but Atlanta have to be feeling pretty comfortable with Cousins behind Center.

It is unlikely to be a game in which Kirk Cousins is going to be asked to do too much if the Miami Dolphins (1-6) continue to play as poorly as they have been.

Mike McDaniel has stated that he still has faith in Tua Tagovailoa at Quarter Back, but it does feel like the future for both is very clouded. It would take something special for the Head Coach to keep his job, while the Dolphins could be picking high up enough in the next NFL Draft to bring in a new face to try and become the franchise Quarter Back instead of Tagovailoa.

The Offensive unit has struggled, but the Miami Dolphins have had massive problems Defensively and they are likely going to see a huge dose of Bijan Robinson.

The Running Back is going to be able to pound the rock with plenty of success against a Miami team that have been trampled in recent games, while Bijan Robinson has shown he can leak out of the backfield and become a big threat as a Receiver. It would be a huge failure for the Atlanta Falcons to put this game on Robinson's back and they should be able to keep Kirk Cousins in a positive position throughout the game.

Miami's Secondary numbers do not look so bad, but that is also because teams have not needed to move away from the run- in this one, Kirk Cousins can make plays against this opponent when he is needed and the Falcons should be able to move the chains consistently.

The pressure will be on the Dolphins to try and keep up- they can also run the ball with some success through De'Von Achane, but the absence of Tyreek Hill and Darren Waller could see the Falcons creep closer to the Line of Scrimmage. They will still have to respect the ability of Achane as a pass-catching Running Back, but the Dolphins look like a team that have completely lost their way and this could be another disappointing effort from them.

A problem has been the pass protection and the Dolphins could see Tua Tagovailoa rattled into a mistake or two that pushes this game firmly in favour of the NFC South team.

Buffalo Bills @ Carolina Panthers Pick: There are a couple of battles between teams from the AFC East and NFC South in Week 8 of the NFL season and this is one that features two teams with winning records.

Not many would have predicted the Carolina Panthers (4-3) to be above 0.500 after seven games, but three wins in a row means they are only a game behind the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC South.

They are hosting the Buffalo Bills (4-2) who have lost two in a row and allowed the New England Patriots to move past them in the AFC East. The Bills were on a Bye in Week 7, which is a good chance to get players back to full health and to iron out any issues they were having in those defeats.

Getting things going on the ground would really help, but the Bills are facing the Carolina Defensive Line who have really been in good form during this winning run. Suffice to say that it should be noted that they have not exactly played the best teams in the NFL in that run of victories, but there will still be a confidence about this Defensive Line as they look to keep the Buffalo Bills behind the chains.

Josh Allen is an elite Quarter Back, but he has not always been given a lot of time in the pocket and that has hindered the passing game.

The Bills should still be able to have success in this one, but this Panthers Defensive unit have been playing at a good level and that should give the home team an opportunity to keep this one competitive.

Injuries have been a big thing in the NFL this season and in high-profile positions and the Carolina Panthers are going to have to give the ball to backup Quarter Back Andy Dalton in place of Bryce Young.

It will mean having an extra lean on the running game, which has been imposing itself on recent opponents and the Panthers Offensive Line should get Rico Dowdle going. There have been injury problems in Defensive areas for the Buffalo Bills, but the team headed into the Bye Week having given up considerable yards on the ground and the Defensive Line may struggle to stop the Panthers consistently.

Andy Dalton's experience is important, although the Panthers have perhaps not been able to find any consistency in the passing game due to some of the inexperienced Receivers on the roster. However, playing from third and manageable should be a big edge for the veteran to exploit and the Carolina Panthers can make use of the points being given to them.

Having just come out of the Bye Week should mean the Bills are focused, even with the Kansas City Chiefs on deck, and especially after losing a couple of games in succession.

They should win on the road, but Carolina are playing with some confidence that could keep them in this game.

College Football Week 9 Picks 2024 (Saturday 26th October)

Has the expanded College Football Playoff contributed to some of the surprising results we have seen in the regular season?

It is a legitimate question now teams are not expected to go through the regular season unbeaten to earn a spot in the final four. These days it is going to be a twelve team Playoff and that means teams can take on tougher games and accept that even a single defeat will not spell the end of their chances of being crowed National Champions.

Two losses may be a different deal though and so there are some big games with real Playoff implications coming up.

There may not be a host of unbeaten teams, but there are a few around who will be looking to remain on track in Week 9 as we conclude the October schedule before the run to the Championship Games begin to take shape.

Washington Huskies @ Indiana Hoosiers Pick: There is an excitement building around the Indiana Hoosiers (7-0) who are one of three Big Ten teams that are still unbeaten as we approach the end of October. The run in and around the Bye Week sees Indiana face some of the top names in the Conference, although the likes of Michigan State and Michigan have not really played to any level that should worry an unbeaten team in the form the Hoosiers have displayed.

Even new Big Ten members Washington Huskies (4-3) are not looking like a team that could push for the Playoff places later in the year and the 2-2 record within the Conference leaves them under pressure.

Two weeks ago, the Huskies were crushed by the Iowa Hawkeyes, but they have had a Bye Week to try and get things worked out. The plan would have been about stopping Kurtis Rourke who has had almost 2000 passing yards with 15 Touchdowns and 3 Interceptions, but the Indiana Quarter Back has been ruled out with a thumb injury and may not be ready to return until the big game against the Ohio State Buckeyes next month.

Tayven Jackson came in as the backup Quarter Back against the Nebraska Cornhuskers and he had almost 100 passing yards while showing an efficiency completing his passes. Last year was a little tough for Jackson having started five games for the Hoosiers and finishing with a 2-3 record, but the team are confident that he can come in and do a job.

He had 2 Touchdown passes in the win over the Cornhuskers and Tayven Jackson may just be needed to remind the Washington Huskies that he can have an efficient day as a passer. If he can do that, Indiana can rely on their strong Offensive Line and rushing attack to keep the team moving forward and making sure the Quarter Back is ahead of the chains.

Stopping the run has not been easy for the Huskies as the competition has ramped up and even the Bye Week might not have been enough time to slow down a team that has played to the level that Indiana have. As long as Tayven Jackson can play up to the standard of Week 8, the Hoosiers have every chance to moving the ball and into a position to cover this mark, while also maintaining an unbeaten record.

This is not going to be an easy game for the Indiana Hoosiers, especially as the Huskies run out a strong passing attack of their own.

Will Rogers has done what he has needed to do at Quarter Back and he has largely been able to look after the ball when he has dropped back to make his passes down the field. The passing numbers are there and this Hoosiers Secondary have allowed teams to have success throwing against them, even if the Defensive Backs have then stepped up to the plate to pick up a turnover or two.

However, the bigger challenge for Rogers and the Huskies may be trying to keep things going from behind the chains and they may struggle to establish the run in this game. Making Washington look a little one-dimensional would be a huge boost for Indiana and it would also allow them to generate a pass rush that could force mistakes from a veteran Quarter Back.

Turnovers are likely going to play a big part in the final outcome and you have to believe this Indiana Defensive unit will want to show up and make sure they are putting their team in a position to win without their starting Quarter Back. The Hoosiers will need a bit more from Tayven Jackson just to keep the Huskies honest Defensively, but a week of preparation should help and Indiana can keep the unbeaten run moving through another game.

Nebraska Cornhuskers @ Ohio State Buckeyes Pick: Several years of underachievement means the Nebraska Cornhuskers (5-2) have work to do if they are going to get back amongst the elite of the Big Ten Conference. One more win this season would mean Nebraska have put together their most wins in a single season since 2016, which underlines the slip around this school compared with the consistent winning seasons they were putting together.

Head Coach Matt Rhule oversaw five wins in his first season as Head Coach of the Cornhuskers and he has matched that in 2024, while his previous successes leading the Baylor Bears makes it feel he is well suited to College Football following a tough time as Head Coach of the Carolina Panthers.

There are plenty of positives from this season, but the Cornhuskers were just given a really harsh reminder about what the Big Ten is about when getting crushed by the Indiana Hoosiers in Week 8. It drops the Cornhuskers to 2-2 within the Conference and they now have to travel to face an angry Ohio State Buckeyes (5-1) who are coming out of their Bye Week.

A single point loss to the Oregon Ducks ended the unbeaten start to the season two weeks ago and it has meant the Buckeyes have been stewing on the defeat. The Bye Week is a chance to just remind the players of what can still be achieved this season, and the Buckeyes will want to put a solid win on the board before a huge game at the Penn State Nittany Lions to take place in Week 10.

The Buckeyes will have spent the Bye Week making sure they are going to bounce back in Week 9 and they do have a balance Offensively that could make it very difficult for Nebraska to do the same after being crushed at Indiana.

Establishing the run against the Cornhuskers Defensive Line is always going to be a test, but this Buckeyes Offensive Line have been strong up front and they have continued to open up some big running lanes even as the Big Ten play has gotten underway. Ohio State will be pounding the rock, which can open the pass game, and Will Howard is a veteran College Football Quarter Back who has 14 Touchdown passes to go with 3 Interceptions.

It helps that Will Howard is standing behind an Offensive Line that has been just as convincing in pass protection as they have in run blocking. Being back at home should also help after the narrow loss on the road at the Oregon Ducks, and Nebraska's Defensive unit may have a few issues when trying to bounce back from the defeat to the Hoosiers.

The Line of Scrimmage is going to be important when the Nebraska Cornhuskers have the ball and it looks like a much more challenging task for the underdog to establish the run. And unlike the Ohio State Offensive Line, the Nebraska unit has not been as strong when it comes to protecting the Quarter Back and that is going to see Dylan Raiola under some real pressure.

That will only be furthered by a home crowd that is going to want to remind Dylan Raiola that he made a poor decision in opting out of his commitment to the Buckeyes and to eventually end up in Nebraska.

Early form displayed by Dylan Raiola was very encouraging, but the Big Ten Conference opponents have proven to be tougher to handle for the youngster. Despite their loss to Oregon, the Buckeyes Defensive unit may still be the best in the Conference and they can eventually show that off by dominating the second half and pulling clear of this spread set.

Texas Longhorns @ Vanderbilt Commodores Pick: There is a fear that the SEC might be 'eating itself' when it comes to the number of teams they can send to the College Football Playoff. Only two teams remain unbeaten within Conference play, but none of the teams involved have a perfect record overall.

The last of those records to slip was the one held by the Texas Longhorns (6-1) when they were beaten by the Georgia Bulldogs and the Ranking has dropped down to Number 5.

Time is still on their side to turn things around, but the Longhorns have to make sure they fully respect a Vanderbilt Commodores (5-2) team that have a 2-1 record in the SEC and who have already upset the Alabama Crimson Tide. That victory is perhaps not looking as strong as it did when Vanderbilt beat the Crimson Tide the week after the latter had knocked off the Georgia Bulldogs, but it is still a strong win for the Commodores and the fans will bring an intense atmosphere.

Vanderbilt have been set as the underdog four times this season and they have covered in each of those games.

There is no doubting the ability of the Texas Longhorns to bounce back, but this is a big spread and Diego Pavia and the Commodores Offensive unit will use the home crowd energy to push them forward. A narrower than expected win over the Ball State Cardinals will not be a big concern with Vanderbilt likely keeping some key plays under their hat ahead of a big game.

Putting together a strong Offensive game-plan against this Longhorns Defensive unit will be challenging, but Vanderbilt have to believe Texas could be a little short emotionally. The Longhorns will be going into their Bye Week in a bid to reset after this game and so there is very chance that this Defense is not as focused as they may have been with an unbeaten record to protect.

Texas should be able to move the chains with some confidence when they have the ball and they are likely going to lean on the Offensive Line to ensure a strong running game is produced. This will make things easier for the Quarter Back, whether that is Quinn Ewers or Archie Manning, although it should be noted that this Vanderbilt Secondary have played pretty well over their last few games.

There is a chance that Vanderbilt can generate a solid pass rush, which will help the Secondary make big plays, and the Commodores may be able to create a turnover or two which can keep this game close.

Vanderbilt have plenty of experience to help them in tough spots and they have shown they can be a very competitive underdog.

The Longhorns had been dominant before the upset loss to the Georgia Bulldogs and some may feel that this team is not fully focused with a Bye Week coming up. The fact that Alabama lost here will just serve as a reminder for Texas about what can happen against any team, but this is a big spread and it may be too wide for a team that has to still believe they can reach the SEC Championship Game and then have a big impact in the College Football Playoffs.

Florida State Seminoles @ Miami Hurricanes Pick: This may have been a game that had been circled by fans in the ACC as being one that could determine at least one of the Championship Game representatives.

Things have simply not gone that way for the Florida State Seminoles (1-6) whose unbeaten season in 2023 has been firmly left in the rearview mirror.

Too much reliance on the transfer portal has been criticised this season, even if it was key to the successes of last season, and the Seminoles have very little to play for.

One motivation will be to play spoiler for the Miami Hurricanes (7-0) who come through a couple of really tight games to remain unbeaten and who look on course to face the Clemson Tigers for the ACC Championship. Looking too far ahead would be a mistake for the Hurricanes considering how close some of their recent wins have been and the fans will try and keep Miami focused on the here and now.

Offensively the Hurricanes should be able to do what they want thanks to the Offensive Line opening up some big running lanes. They will be favourites to hit the Seminoles hard on the ground and that should open things up for Cam Ward at Quarter Back, who continues to play like one of the top players in the position.

Scoring points has not been the problem, but the Miami Hurricanes know the Defensive unit have to be significantly improved if they are going to reach the College Football Playoff and then have a deep run. This is a week in which they are facing a Florida State Offensive unit that has just lacked consistency Offensively and so you do have to wonder if the Seminoles are going to be able to score enough points to keep up with their rivals.

The Seminoles Offensive Line have not opened up too many big running lanes and that has allowed teams to bring a solid pass rush, which has just underlined other issues at the Line of Scrimmage.

Miami are not easy to trust with a line like this one after some of their recent wins, but the Hurricanes have been much better than Florida State and they can underline that gap with a much more convincing win in Week 9.

Boxing Picks 2019- Regis Prograis vs Josh Taylor (October 26th)

We all love and Boxing and when you do you can't help but feel a little broken when a story like Patrick Day's comes along.

In Boxing it is rare to find someone about whom no one seems to have a bad word for and I think that makes digesting his passing that much tougher for fans, fighters and promoters alike. It's always hard to be honest and another reminder of what everyone is risking when they step between the ropes.

All of these competitors should be respected and not ridiculed for trying to better themselves or pursuing the passions they have. Some will become the superstars they are dreaming of becoming, while others will fall short, but we shouldn't forget what these men and women are willing to do for our entertainment and as fans of a wonderful sport I do hope people can sympathise a little more when corners decide to pull their fighters from taking unnecessary punishment and also when referees edge towards a cautious approach to stoppages rather than allowing things to go too far.

RIP Patrick Day.


I needed a couple of weeks to really digest the news and warriors like Patrick Day won't be soon forgotten. There is no way that Day himself would have wanted the Boxing world to grind to a halt and instead we have to look forward to what is coming up without forgetting those who have paved the way before.

Some of my biggest heroes have come from this sport and there are plenty of Boxers out there who will inspire the next generation with many becoming real role models to show there are paths to success out there for those willing to put in the hard graft.

A new superstar is likely to be made by the end of this weekend when the first of the Season Two World Boxing Super Series Finals is concluded at the O2 Arena in London. It is the main event of a stacked card which I am focusing on for the Boxing Picks this week with four big fights on the night of interest.

You can read my thoughts below on those as well as the Boxing 2019 update at the bottom of the thread.

Yves Ngabu vs Lawrence Okolie

The latest step up in the career of Lawrence Okolie takes place on Saturday night in one of the early fights on the loaded card at the O2 Arena in London.

He is pushing to become European Champion in only his fourteenth professional fight and Okolie continues to learn on the job. He has experience as an amateur, but it is not a deep experience and some of this fights have been worse than watching paint dry, but you can't deny the raw tools he has at his disposal.

There is clearly some pop there and his height and range is going to make things very tricky for Cruiserweight opponents even if Okolie still feels some way short of the elite of the Division that we have seen in the World Boxing Super Series. He isn't miles away from those fighters and Okolie is moving up the World Rankings with a couple of the organisations out there, but I do think The Sauce still has to get through a few more fights to learn his craft before kicking on to World level.

We are going to see a tough fight for Okolie on Saturday when he takes on an unbeaten Champion in Yves Ngabu who has been talking up his own chances. I do have to say that there is not a deep resume to look at with the Belgian fighter, but Ngabu is in the top 15 of the World Rankings and he has shown some heavy hands in his career too.

However the Knock Outs have slowed down as he has stepped up his level and he did go beyond Eight Rounds for the first time in his last fight when defending this Title for the second time. I do think his tactics will be to try and get in close and rough up Okolie, but the British fighter has shown he can spoil very quickly and I think he is going to begin to pick off someone charging into his space.

You do have to question whether Okolie begins to get bogged down with his work the longer he has to be in the ring. Only one fighter who has heard the bell for the Fifth Round has been stopped by Okolie, while the other three in that situation have all managed to get to the cards and much of this one is going to depend on how much resistance Ngabu has early in the contest.

Once he has felt the power and dealt with it, Ngabu could make this a very rough outing for Okolie although I do think it will be very difficult to win a decision in London against the home fighter even as the Champion. This might not be a very good watch in the second half of the fight as Lawrence Okolie perhaps gets into a situation where he is making sure he is putting Rounds in the bank without taking big risks.

Backing Okolie to win on the cards is my call here at a decent price.

Lee Selby vs Ricky Burns

A few months ago we had James DeGale vs Chris Eubank Jr which was billed as something of a 'retirement fight' with the loser really struggling to have anywhere to go. On that day DeGale was beaten pretty comfortably and duly announced his retirement in the following days and I would not be surprised if we see that happening with the losing fighter in this one too.

Both Ricky Burns and Lee Selby are the wrong side of 30 years old and both have had solid careers. Overall you definitely have to give the edge to Ricky Burns for the achievements he has had, while many are questioning why Selby kept trying to make 126 for as long as he did when he was clearly struggling to get down to weight.

It was a surprise to hear Selby say he had one or two issues getting down to 135, but I think that might be a few mind games at work. What I do know is that Selby looked pretty average in his debut at this weight and is now facing someone who is clearly the bigger man, although not someone with a huge punch.

Ricky Burns did stop Scott Cardle eleven months ago, but that says more about the lack of punch resistance Cardle has than the power of the Scotsman. His last two big fights have both resulted in Decision defeats and I do think Burns is still resilient enough to get to the cards which means Selby is going to have to outwork him to win this one.

Any time I have watched Selby I do get the feeling of someone doing just enough to win his fights, but he is going to be made to work very hard in this one with the way Burns takes to his task. I am not sure that is appealing to Selby and I can see Burns pushing forward and landing enough to take this one.

Omar Douglas made the 'Welsh Mayweather' look pretty ordinary in the last fight Selby had back in February and I am not sure there is as much desire in Lee Selby as Ricky Burns even though he is the younger man. Lee Selby is a decent Boxer and I do think he will have his moments in this one, but I am looking for Burns to just outwork him and as the underdog I think he is worth backing.

Dereck Chisora vs David Price

This all British fight is another where the winner might move on to a big fight or two, while the loser is going to struggle to find a new path in their career.

It feels like David Price has been in that situation for a while now, but even through losses the Liverpudlian keeps finding a way to bounce back and re-motivate himself to reach the World stage he believes he belongs at. A defeat to David Allen would have been very hard to move past though and Price produced a very strong performance to see off a limited opponent who had some momentum behind him.

I can imagine the tactics are going to be similar in this one as Price looks to use his superior Boxing skills to break down another pressure fighter. However Dereck Chisora is a couple of levels above someone like David Allen and if he is focused he is certainly capable of closing the gap and forcing Price to work much more than Allen did.

David Price has twenty-five wins in his professional career, but the win over Allen is only the second time he has won a fight that has gone beyond the Sixth Round. A predictable Allen did not tax Price in the same way others have to empty the gas tank of the big man, but I would be stunned if that is the case when Chisora is in the ring with him.

Personally I am not a huge fan of Chisora- he has been involved in some entertaining fights in his career, but for me he is well promoted which makes people believe he is much better than he is. There is definitely a ceiling with Chisora, but I am not convinced Price is above that and as long as the former is motivated enough with this replacement he should be capable of breaking down the bigger man.

Dereck Chisora still has some solid punch resistance so should be able to get through the most dangerous portion of the fight which is the first four Rounds. As long as he makes Price work like Kash Ali did even though the Midlands fighter let himself down by deciding to bite in a fight that might have been going his way at that point.

I do think Chisora will have cleverer pressure than Allen and his movement and punching power is beyond the level that Allen can produce. If he gets through the first four Rounds, I think Chisora will be taking over the fight and it is worth backing him to earn a Stoppage between the Fifth and Eighth Round.

Regis Prograis vs Josh Taylor

I have been pretty high on Josh Taylor and his capabilities for some time now- this is a fighter as good as any at 140 and also has the size to move into the loaded Welterweight Division.

The best way to move up to that killer of a Division is to win this fight and be a Unified Champion which would make him a bona fide superstar. It will open the door to some huge outings with Taylor likely to be the next British fighter to head Stateside and with a huge following behind him.

All of that is going to be set on the foundation of winning the World Boxing Super Series Light Welterweight Final on Saturday.

And doing that won't be easy at all.

Regis Prograis is considered the next big breakout fighter in the United States and the unbeaten Champion is someone I've really begun to like more and more as his profile has built. He is someone you can root for and it makes it easier for me to make a prediction on the fight because I don't think I am letting my heart rule my head here.

I have felt for some time that Taylor can win this fight and that despite some of the suggestions that he might not be making 140 as easily as he would like. Josh Taylor was good on the scales on Friday and it was actually Prograis who needed to strip off to get under the 140 limit, although I don't think he looked like he was struggling either.

Both are quality fighters and I do think they will gel together quite well- Prograis is perhaps the slightly superior defender, but I think Taylor might have the slight edge when it comes to the power. It makes for a fascinating fight and I do think there will be some really close Rounds with Taylor perhaps on the front foot and Prograis picking his punches.

I would not be surprised if this comes down to what the judges like on the day, but we do need to find a winner and a fourth referee is in operation in this one. One Knock Down for either fighter could be huge on the day and I think there is every chance there will be some controversy attached to the outcome.

Being closer to home might be key for Taylor in a close fight and I do think both have the kinds of resumes that have to be respected. Regis Prograis might have the superior record on the face of things, but it isn't overwhelmingly in his favour and I am also not convinced he has the better chin of the two fighters either.

This is going to be an absolute beast of a fight, but I think Taylor might edge it with the judges favouring his style on the night. Regis Prograis will have his moments and Josh Taylor will have to ride out some difficult times, but I think he has shown he can do that and adjust within a fight and that should be key for him here.

Don't be surprised if we get to see this again next year, but in the United States, as Taylor gets the nod in a close one.

College Football Week 9 Picks 2019 (October 26th)

Week 8 proved to be another mixed bag for the College Football Picks, but I am still in a position to really get this regular season going in the direction I would want.

The selections are all being played on Saturday this week and I have written out the analysis for a few of the Picks while adding a couple to the 'MY PICKS' section below. I have also updated the season totals at the bottom of this thread.


Oklahoma State Cowboys @ Iowa State Cyclones Pick: There is always a worry that the Big 12 is so competitive in its current format that even a Conference Champion is not guaranteed of a place in the College Football PlayOffs. The addition of the Championship Game was to strengthen the position of that team, but I do think we will eventually see Divisions in the Big 12 as we do in the other Power 5 Conferences.

There are four teams who currently sit at 3-1 or better in the Conference and two remain unbeaten. One of those at 3-1 is the Iowa State Cyclones who will be hosting the underachieving Oklahoma State Cowboys in Week 9 of the 2019 season and hoping to stay relevant going into the Bye Week.

Even if the Cyclones went on and won the Big 12 Championship Game it is unlikely that they are going to be invited into the College Football PlayOff, but Matt Campbell won't be worrying about that and instead will focus on trying to make sure the Cyclones can improve their record from the last two seasons which have both finished 8-5.

Four more wins will do that for Iowa State and they should be favoured in four of their remaining five regular season games before heading into a Bowl Game. First up they will be looking to maintain their spot in the Conference which sees them a game behind the Baylor Bears and Oklahoma Sooners and the Cyclones will likely be playing in the Championship Game if they can win their remaining five games.

Next up on deck is the Oklahoma Sooners, but that is in two weeks time so I am not going to worry about a potential 'look-ahead' spot for the home team. The team have talented Running Backs that should be able to establish the ground game in this Week 9 game and that is going to give the Cyclones a big chance to win this game by a comfortable margin.

Iowa State should be able to rip off some big gains against the Cowboys Defensive Line which has given up 4.9 yards per carry in their last three games having lost back to back games to drop back to 4-3 for the season. Running the ball effectively will make the Cyclones very dangerous as it should open things up for Brock Purdy at Quarter Back who has the best passing yards in the Big 12 which is also including Heisman chasing Jalen Hurts.

Purdy has been well protected and there are some decent Receivers who can exploit the holes in the Oklahoma State Secondary. With the team likely going to have a comfortable day moving the chains, the Cyclones should score plenty of points and maintain the average of 40 points per game over their last three games which have all resulted in wins.

Mike Gundy will make the Cowboys competitive as he always does, but this is clearly not one of the better teams Oklahoma State have had in recent years. They finished 7-6 last season and there is every chance they can at least have a winning season again in 2019, but they look short of the quality of the Big 12 and are only 1-3 in Conference play.

Chuba Hubbard is going to have to try and establish the run against one of the best Defensive Lines in the Big 12 and I do think that might be a challenge beyond the young Running Back. There is no doubting the talent Hubbard has and the Cowboys Offensive Line have opened some big holes for him, but even as the competition has ramped up the Cyclones have held teams to 3.3 yards per carry.

You have to believe the focus for the Cyclones will be to try and contain the run and then unleash the pass rush against a Cowboys Offensive Line which has struggled to protect Spencer Sanders. The inexperience of the Quarter Back has shown up at times with mistakes made via Interceptions not uncommon for players like Sanders who are learning on the job.

While the Iowa State Secondary have not been able to turn the ball over as they would have liked, they have been strong defending the pass and they can stall some drives with the quality in the Defensive unit.

This is a big number, but the Cyclones can find the stops to get in front of it with their balanced Offensive unit likely going to be a difference maker for them. The Defense is as good as any in the Big 12 and the Cyclones have momentum behind them which they can ride to a strong looking win.

The Cyclones are 5-2 against the spread in the last seven at home against Oklahoma State, while they have been strong at home and in Conference play. I do respect Mike Gundy and the Cowboys, but the Cyclones can be good enough to put a statement win on the board.


Tulane Green Wave @ Navy Midshipmen Pick: The two teams meeting in Week 9 of the College Football season have genuine ambitions of playing in the American Athletic Championship Game, but are facing what is effectively an elimination game on Saturday. The team to beat in the American Athletic West Division looks to be the SMU Mustangs who have improved to 8-0 for the season and 4-0 within the Conference, but both the Tulave Green Wave and Navy Midshipmen have winning records on the season to this stage too.

In each of Willie Fritz' seasons in charge of the Green Wave they have improved their season totals from 4 wins to 5 and then to 7 last season when they made a Bowl Game. Tulane are already at 5-2 for the 2019 season so improving again has to be the minimum of what Fritz will be expecting now, but they did drop their first Conference game last week in a defeat to the Memphis Tigers to fall to 2-1 within the American Athletic Conference.

While the Green Wave were losing in Week 8, the Navy Midshipmen were winning for a third game in a row and they have improved to 5-1. Like Tulane, Navy have suffered a Conference loss, but they stand at 3-1 and the winner will believe they can chase the Mustangs while the losing team is going to find it too difficult to make up two games.

Navy finished 3-10 in 2018 so this turnaround is impressive, although the Midshipmen have long been a team that won't be involved in consecutive down seasons.

Much of this game is going to come down to the battle in the trenches between the Navy Offensive Line and the Tulane Defensive Line. Everyone knows the triple option is going to be huge for Navy and that has been the main way Malcolm Perry has been moving the ball at Quarter Back for the Midshipmen.

Perry has been nothing like as comfortable when being asked to throw and he won't want to be behind the chains in this one and be forced to go to the air. The Tulane pass rush has been strong all season, but I do think Navy have shown enough on the ground to believe they can hurt Tulane who give up 142 yards per game on the ground over the course of 2019. There has been some improvements up front by the Green Wave Defensive Line, but Navy will believe in what they are doing and they can at least keep the chains moving.

It will be a challenge for the Midshipmen to run the ball, but Tulane are not going to have it much easier and establishing the run is important to their whole approach. One concern for the Green Wave is both Darius Bradwell and Corey Dauphine are banged up and certainly won't be at 100% for this game even if both are suited up and ready to go.

The second issue is that the Navy Midshipmen have restricted teams to 3 yards per carry in the last three games which is a slight improvement on the overall 3.1 yards per carry number allowed for the 2019 season. That means the pressure could be on Justin McMillan to bounce back from a poor showing at Quarter Back agains the Memphis Tigers, although I am sure McMillan won't have forgotten his strong performance which helped Tulane beat Navy by a single point at home last season.

McMillan has had a decent season at Quarter Back, but he will be like Malcolm Perry in needing the run game to support him and keep him in third and manageable spots. Anything third and long and McMillan will have to deal with the Navy pass rush which is significantly better than 2018 and that could lead to the kind of mistakes we saw last week.

There are a couple of trends that are going against Navy here which is a concern, but they have won the last four home games against Tulane. I do think this could be a close game, but I feel the Navy Defense is going to make a big play that gives them a chance of an extra possession which can be the difference between a cover and a non-cover.

With revenge following the very close last season to motivate them, I like Navy here.


Penn State Nittany Lions @ Michigan State Spartans Pick: There was a real feeling that the Michigan State Spartans were a big player in the Big Ten Conference with 17 returning starters going into the 2019 season. They finished with a winning record in 2018 and Ohio State did not look to be as strong as previous years, but pre-season expectations are now up in smoke.

The Spartans are a disappointing 4-3 in 2018 and just 2-2 in Big Ten games and while that leaves them firmly in a position to return to the Bowl season, it also means they are likely out of the equation as far as the College Football PlayOffs as well as the Big Ten Championship Game.

They come out of their Bye Week off back to back beat downs from the Buckeyes and the Wisconsin Badgers and the Spartans will be heading into another Bye as soon as this game is over. Michigan State will play spoiler for teams in the Big Ten down the stretch with a game against rivals Michigan and this one against Penn State most pressing especially as the Spartans should find two wins from the other three games on their remaining schedule.

It will be playing spoiler if they can beat the Nittany Lions who are 7-0 in 2019 and who are in a position to win double digit games in a single season for the third time in four years. This game is coming in at the end of a difficult stretch for Penn State who have beaten Iowa and Michigan in their last two games and will be looking to remain unbeaten going into a Bye Week before big games with unbeaten Minnesota and Ohio State.

There isn't much chance that Penn State will overlook Michigan State though considering they were beaten by them in each of the last two seasons as a big favourite. This season the spread is much tighter, but the Nittany Lions are favoured and that has very much to do with having an Offensive unit that has shown a lot more life than Michigan State's.

Having a Bye Week to try and fix things is important for Michigan State, but they are not getting enough from experienced players. Brian Lewerke has struggled massively at Quarter Back when the level has picked up and his was actually taken out of the defeat to the Badgers in the Fourth Quarter, although expected to start here.

Lewerke has not been helped much by the lack of any running game and I don't think that is going to change much in this one against a Penn State Defensive Line which has given up just 2 yards per carry over their last three games. And that is despite going up against better Quarter Backs than Lewerke so I imagine the Michigan State Offense is going to have to be run by the Quarter Back's arm.

Much is going to depend on how the protection holds up for Brian Lewerke, but you wouldn't expect him to have a lot of time. The Penn State pass rush has been very good at getting to the Quarter Back all season and the Spartans Offensive Line is giving up plenty of hits on Lewerke in the backfield. Being in third and long should only accentuate the issue and I think the Nittany Lions can at least keep Michigan State from really having a big day Offensively.

There will be one or two issues for the Penn State Offense too though because they have struggled for consistency and the Spartans do have one of the better Defensive units in the College Football ranks. However there have been some problems in slowing down the run in recent games so the Nittany Lions might at least be in a position for Sean Clifford to throw from third and manageable rather than third and long which should aid in his completion rate.

Clifford has done what he has needed to in order to help the Nittany Lions win their recent games and maintain their run. He will need to manage this one well too, but there is a chance that Penn State can establish the run a little better in this game which should also be a huge boost for the Quarter Back.

Big plays helped Penn State beat Michigan in Week 8 and Clifford should be able to hit some of those in this game too. It might be the difference in what is expected to be another tight game, but one that Penn State can pull away with some big plays and with another strong Defensive performance.

The favourite is 6-2 against the spread in this series, but I have already mentioned that Michigan State have covered as the underdog in each of the last two seasons. It is a big challenge to win on the road, but the Spartans have not covered in any of their last four against a team with a winning record and they are 1-5 against the spread in the last six at home.

Penn State have a very strong record against teams with winning records and I think they can do enough to get over this number although it might be nip and tuck until the Fourth Quarter.


Indiana Hoosiers @ Nebraska Cornhuskers Pick: The Penn State game at Michigan State has some serious Big Ten Championship and possibly College Football PlayOff implications, but this one is still very important to the two teams involved. Last season the Indiana Hoosiers and the Nebraska Cornhuskers both finished with losing records, but they look capable of much better in 2019 when they get to meet each other in Week 9.

The Hoosiers have finished with 5-7 records in each of the last two seasons, but they have already matched that number in 2019 and need one more win to be Bowl eligible for the first time since 2016. On the other side the Cornhuskers have had back to back four win seasons and have matched that number already in 2019, although two heavy losses in their last three games has just slowed down any momentum they had picked up.

Injuries are hurting Nebraska although they are hoping Adrian Martinez is going to be passed healthy to return at Quarter Back. His backup was hurt in the defeat to the Golden Gophers, but the Bye Week should have given Nebraska time to get Martinez ready to compete.

They are going to need him to be after Maurice Washington was indefinitely suspended meaning going down the Running Back depth chart. It wouldn't have been easy for Washington to help establish the run, but it looks even more difficult without him against a Hoosiers Defensive Line which has held teams to 3.8 yards per carry over their last three games as they look to move into a position to finish with a winning record.

Adrian Martinez can help with his ability on the ground, but if he is not back at 100% then I think we are going to see someone who is prepared to try and be a pocket passer. That won't be ideal if the Cornhuskers see their running game clamped down on because the Offensive Line has struggled in pass protection and Indiana do have the players to get to Martinez if he is a little more than a statue in the backfield.

Wan'Dale Robinson being banged up at Receiver is not helping the Cornhuskers and I think they are going to struggle to move the chains for long drives.

Indiana might be another team missing a key starter with Michael Penix expected to miss out at Quarter Back. In usual years you would say being down a starting Quarter Back is a huge blow, but Peyton Ramsey is still on the roster and he proved in 2018 he can be a very effective dual-threat from the position having had almost 3000 passing yards and 350 rushing yards that season.

Ramsey's experience could be vital, but importantly he is likely going to have a strong running game to support him here. Stevie Scott has been improving at Running Back and will be going behind an Offensive Line which has produced 5.5 yards per carry in the last three games. The Indiana Offensive Line will face a Nebraska Defensive Line which has allowed 6 yards per carry in their last three games and I do like the approach Indiana can have to this game which gives them a chance of the upset.

Neither team really has the best record against the spread at home/road respectively, but I do think Indiana are playing the better Football of the two in recent weeks. Nebraska might have a big opportunity out of the Bye Week, but I can't help feel the public are overrating them here and Indiana can be backed with the points in Week 9.


Virginia Cavaliers @ Louisville Cardinals Pick: No one ever doubted that Bronco Mendenhall would be a success as Head Coach of the Virginia Cavaliers and the winning season in 2018 was the first since 2011. The Head Coach is in his fourth year with the Cavaliers and Mendenhall and his team could be ready to surpass the eight wins secured in 2018 having begun the 2019 season with a 5-2 record.

They are heading up the ACC Coastal Division with a 3-1 record within the Conference and Virginia will be looking to take the next step by not overlooking the overachieving Louisville Cardinals. The Week 1 win over Pittsburgh could be a huge tie-breaker in the Division which could lead to the ACC Championship Game, but Mendenhall won't want the Cavaliers to be complacent going into Week 8.

The Cavaliers blew out the Duke Blue Devils to beat another Divisional rival in Week 8, but now they get set to take on the Louisville Cardinals who are 4-3 and have doubled the win total from 2018 already. Scott Satterfield is in his first year as Head Coach of Louisville and so the improvement from a 2-10 2018 season is quite surprising, although Satterfield himself won't be satisfied until he sees how the season plays out.

Even now there is no guarantee that Louisville will earn the two wins they need to become Bowl eligible, but an upset is not off the table in this one. They won in that position on the road at the Wake Forest Demon Deacons so the Cardinals players should head into this game with plenty of belief in their abilities even off the blow out loss to the Clemson Tigers.

The Cardinals will be looking to run the ball against a strong Virginia Defensive Line which will set things up for the Quarter Backs to make the plays they want to through the air. We saw against the Clemson Tigers that Louisville can perform against some of the best Defensive Lines in College Football so they will believe they can at least get something going against a Virginia team allowing just 3.9 yards per carry in their most recent games.

Malik Cunningham and Evan Conley are going to need a strong running game to aid them in Week 9 because they are playing against a Virginia Secondary which has played the pass very well. They have a pass rush which can get to the Quarter Back and Louisville have not been strong in pass protection, and I do think the Cardinals will have some problems moving the ball consistently in this one which will put pressure on the Defensive unit to get things right.

They actually might not match up too badly with Virginia on that side of the ball because the Cavaliers have not been able to run the ball very well and that might make it difficult to expose the Louisville Defensive Line. The Cardinals have allowed 6.3 yards per carry up front in their last three games, but Bryce Perkins has proved to be much better throwing the ball than running it this season.

Perkins did have three Touchdowns on the ground against Duke last week which may be a sign that things are turning around for Virginia and they will need him again this week. Establishing the run will just ease things in every area for Perkins including playing behind an Offensive Line which has had its issues in pass protection.

There are some big holes in the Louisville Secondary which can be exposed though and I expect Perkins to have a big game. He will need the Defensive unit to step up and I think turnovers are going to be a big part of this one in Week 9 with the feeling that Virginia can win in that category too.

The Cavaliers are 4-1 against the spread in the last five against Louisville and it is Virginia who the stronger trends in recent games. With the momentum behind the road team, I think they can do enough to pull away and clear this number narrowly as the favourite.

Bryce Perkins has to make sure he limits his mistakes and allow his Defensive unit to set him up for the win ahead of what could be the one stumbling block on the way to the ACC Championship Game.
