Each week a panel of SCU contributors will pick their winners and losers. Let’s see who does the best by the end of the season!

There were several clean sweeps during Week 8’s picks, with our panel correctly predicting, unanimously, that the Vikings would beat the Browns, the Bengals would handle the Colts, the Patriots wouldn’t lose at home to the Chargers, and that the Saints, Falcons, Steelers, Chiefs, and Eagles would all emerge victorious.

Yep, everyone nailed nearly every pick. Heck, Mike Drakulich had a PERFECT week!

There were some contrarian views that didn’t hold as well (Dolphins over the Ravens) but you’ll have that each week.

Entering Week 9, there are some similar picks, along with a few spoilers. Everyone is on board with the Seahawks, Jaguars, Texans, Eagles, and Saints this week. A few upset specials dot the landscape, including those who feel the 49ers could win their first game of the season.

One thing’s for sure: the easiest pick, the Cleveland Browns, aren’t in jeopardy of losing, as they are on their bye just like the Steelers! Here are the picks.
