What's your top upset pick for Week 8?
Matt Bowen, NFL writer: Panthers +1.5 over Ravens. Carolina enters Week 8 as home dogs versus Baltimore, but I like the Panthers here if they can feature Christian McCaffrey in critical game situations. Think scripted matchups in the passing game with Norv Turner's read schemes mixed in, forcing opposing defenses to account for Cam Newton as a runner. But the Panthers will have to win third downs and cash in on red zone opportunities to beat the Ravens' top-tier defense.
Mike Clay, NFL writer: Saints +1 over Vikings. Despite the road trip, I like the Saints here after winning five in a row. The offense is one of the best in the league with Drew Brees under center, and a very talented defense is back on track after a pair of early-season shootouts with Tampa Bay and Atlanta.
