Prisco's NFL Week 8 picks: Bad defenses = fun shootout time

Lamar Jackson's expected return should give the Ravens offense a lift, but it's the other side Baltimore needs to be worried about against Josh Allen's Bills.

KENSAW @ MTSU • Wed 7:00pm

MTSU -2.5

-118

Spread

Picked: Oct 28 @ 9:21am

Analysis

Middle Tennessee is a team on the rise after wins against Delaware and FIU (notable that the Delaware win was against the backup QB). The MTSU defense can struggle at times, but Kennesaw State is not the team to take advantage of it. I think MTSU will be able to move the ball via the ground and air attack (I suspect we'll see another great game from Terrence Brown at RB). MTSU is playing inspired football and I expect them to get their third win in a row and cover the -2.5 at home.

Points

Picked: Oct 28 @ 8:13am

Analysis

DraftKings. Anthony Black should assume a bigger role as the Magic are dealing with a litany of injuries. Jalen Suggs and Paolo Banchero will both be out today, likely meaning Black assumes starting point guard duties. Black averaged 17.8 points per game last season without Suggs in 23 contests without Suggs, and put up 18 points against the Knicks when Suggs went down on Sunday.

Money Line

Picked: Oct 28 @ 3:49am

Analysis

Tuesday was just the second time the Brewers lost this postseason. Jacob Misiorowski starts for Milwaukee in Game Five, but the question is will Drew Rasmussen start on short rest? Nick Martinez pitched in Game Four so he's likely out, but Kevin Cash would not confirm a starter. Regardless, the offense for Milwaukee was unlucky on many occasions in Game Four, while it seemed like the Rays got every break to go their way and still nearly lost. The Brewers also made two errors, were held without a multi-run inning, and hit 20 balls "hard" yet 14 of them were outs. I'll bet on more of those balls falling for hits in Game Five, and the Brewers win behind a strong performance from their ace.

Stolen Bases

Picked: Oct 28 @ 4:24am

Analysis

Chandler Simpson was picked off on Tuesday night as he tried stealing, just one pitch after he was running when Ryan Vilade fouled a pitch off. He had additional chances to steal later but short at bats from the hitters behind him helped stalled those efforts. As the Rays have their back against the wall again here, Simpson should continue looking to run. The main issue I see in this matchup is that Jacob Misiorowski was great at taming the run game this year, allowing just two stolen bases for the entire season. William Contreras is also superb behind the plate, but the game situation here calls for speed to be maximized, and Simpson is the guy the Rays look to for that.

Runs

Picked: Oct 28 @ 4:28am

Analysis

The Milwaukee Brewers were held without a multi-run inning for just the fourth time this postseason, and it was in a 12-inning game! The Rays pitching and defense locked in, shutting down the Brew Crew by robbing multiple hits and getting big strikeouts when needed, but I'm not convinced that happens again in Game Five. On Tuesday, Milwaukee's offense hit 20 balls "hard" at over 95 mph exit velo, yet just six were hits, and if you look at specifically the 100+ mph exit velo batted balls, the Brewers racked up 12 but had just three hits to show for it. I think they capitalize better in this one, after going 0-3 with men in scoring position and leaving eight runners on base.
