NFL – Handicapper Results and Recap – Week 8

Top NFL Handicappers – Week 8

Week 8 was a brutal one for the NFL Handicappers who could only collectively finish with a 39.5% win rate this week. As such, our Consensus Picks also took a beating with a 3-10 record. There were a couple of handicappers from Sportsline who were able to navigate the slate with a 5-2 mark by Micah Roberts and a 4-2 record from Hank Goldberg. Let’s hope for better things in Week 9.
