### Rough Week for Picks Spurs Determination for Better Results in Week 9

The aftermath of Halloween has brought more than just spooky vibes, particularly for this week's NFL picks. Following a challenging Week 8, which rivaled Week 3 in difficulty, several unexpected events contributed to the difficult outcome. A completed Hail Mary pass, Jordan Mason's injury, and Sam LaPorta surpassing half of Jared Goff's subpar 85 passing yards were notable surprises that resulted in unsuccessful bets. However, the focus remains on driving forward into Week 9 with renewed determination.

In the coming week, three significant matchups will be closely monitored, each accompanied by a specific bet, whether it involves the game's side or total. Additionally, prop bets are in place for these games. Further potential lines and props are outlined at the article's end, with all odds current as per ESPN BET.

Reflecting on Week 8, it was a difficult stretch marred by unfortunate events and losses across various fronts. Whether it was due to injury setbacks, last-second plays like Hail Marys, or uncharacteristic performances such as the historic Lions game, the results were less than favorable. Nevertheless, the blend of winning and losing weeks only adds to the anticipation and potential satisfaction of finishing the season strongly by Week 17.
