Here’s a look at where the top of the leaderboard landed for Week 8. The most popular pick among last week’s leaders is Chicago, appearing in 8 of the 15 leader entries. The Bears continue to attract confidence after back-to-back solid efforts.
Next up are Houston and New Orleans, each showing up 6 times. The Texans have been a steady play most of the year, while the Saints drew heavy support as a rebound spot.
Buffalo and Pittsburgh follow closely, both appearing 5 times among the leaders. Buffalo’s pick volume suggests some buy-the-dip faith, while Pittsburgh remains a grinder’s favorite given their typical underdog value.
Overall, the leaders are leaning toward teams with defensive edges and strong ATS trends — heavy focus on CHI, HOU, NO, BUF, and PIT this week.
Here’s how many of the Week 7 leaders selected oposing teams for Week 8:
- Baltimore (BAL): 1 pick
- San Francisco (49ers): 3 picks
- Tampa Bay (Buccaneers): 3 picks
So, only a few of the leaders backed the Ravens, while SF and Tampa Bay each drew moderate support.
Keep in mind these are opening lines.
