The Football Prophesies: Week 8
The Football Prophesies predict the outcomes of the week’s NFL games. Each week we’ll announce our expectations along with selective commentary in the Football Prophesies.
Week 8 Football Prophesies:
New Orleans at St. Louis:

Cincinnati at Seattle: Cincinnati
The Queen City cats visit the King County…king-a-ma-jigs. Because its Seattle, Bengals personnel places 14 players on suicide watch, cuts up their pregame meal for them.
New England at Pittsburgh
This battle of AFC titans will captivate as Bill Belichick’s hoodie takes on Mike Tomlin’s hat.
Cleveland at San Francisco:
