Fred Warner Jersey , which means regular season betting is back. I’m back for another year of picks in the Westgate SuperContest. SB Nation’s partners over at Odds Shark are sponsoring my entry again. The contest requires selecting 5 games each week and picking them against the spread. I finished 2-3 in Week 7, which dropped me to 17-15-3 for the season. Overall for last week, I finished 8-5-1.The San Francisco 49ers are a SuperContest one-point underdog in their Week 8 road game against the Arizona Cardinals. The SuperContest line is released on Wednesday, and since then, they have climbed to 1.5- and 2-point favorites at sportsbooks monitored by Odds Shark.I decided to use the 49ers as one of my five picks. There were three reasons I was not certain about the 49ers early in the week. The first is road divisional games can be messy
Dante Pettis Jersey White , the second is new Cardinals offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich, and the third is the 49ers are so incredibly inconsistent.All that being said, the 49ers are better than the Cardinals. It’s not exactly saying a lot, but as we saw three weeks ago, the 49ers could dominate the Cardinals if they can avoid stupid mistakes. In Week 5
George Kittle Jersey , San Francisco more than doubled them up in yardage and tripled them up in first downs. Five turnovers were the difference, and I am betting on the 49ers cleaning that up to some degree this week. And with only a one point line (SuperContest picks are based on Wednesday lines), I look at this mostly as a straight up pick.Here are my five SuperContest picks for Week 8.Jaguars (+3) over EaglesRavens (-2) over PANTHERSGIANTS (PK) over Washington49ers (-1) over CARDINALSVIKINGS (PK) over SaintsI went 8-5-1 overall in Week 7. Here are all my picks for Week 8:TEXANS vs. Dolphins (+7.5): Dolphins — LOSSEagles vs. Jaguars (+3 — London): JaguarsSTEELERS vs. Browns (+8): BrownsCHIEFS vs. Broncos (+10): BroncosBEARS vs. Jets (+7): JetsGIANTS vs. Washington (PK): GiantsLIONS vs. Seahawks (+3): SeahawksBENGALS vs. Buccaneers (+4.5): BuccaneersPANTHERS vs. Ravens (-2): RavensRAIDERS vs. Colts (-3): RaidersCARDINALS vs. 49ers (-1): 49ersRAMS vs. Packers (+9.5): RamsVIKINGS vs. Saints (PK): VikingsBILLS vs. Patriots (-13.5): Patriots DeForest Buckner is looking forward to the 49ers adding another pass rusher to their defense on Thursday night and he’s now set to spend at least two years as a teammate of whoever the 49ers select with the second overall pick.The 49ers announced on Wednesday that they have exercised their option on Buckner’s contract for the 2020 season. The defensive lineman will be set to make over $12 million and the option is guaranteed against injury only.Buckner is coming off a 12-sack season in 2018 and he has started all but one game since the 49ers selected him with the seventh overall pick in the 2016 draft. He has 201 tackles and 21 sacks over all three seasons.That productivity likely made exercising the option an easy choice for the 49ers and the next question will be whether they sign Buckner to a long-term deal. Buckner said recently that there have been some conversations, but it didn’t sound like anything is imminent on that front.
