It's fitting that Week 8 is being played over Halloween weekend, as the NFL is giving us a horrifying Sunday night game this week: the Eagles (2-5) at the Commanders (1-4-1). Roger Goodell, if you're reading, there's still time to flex this game out. I say move it to 2 a.m. and put it on Telemundo, because at this point the only thing that might make the game better is listening to it in Spanish.
Anyway, since Halloween is coming up on Saturday, this seems like the perfect time to hand out costume ideas, so that's exactly what we're going to do before we get to the picks this week. If you're a Commanders fan, you could go as a clock since your team doesn't understand time management. If you're an Eagles fan, you could go as a couch since that's where the team will be sitting once the playoffs start.
If you're a Titans fan, you could go as a bench, since that's where Cam Ward should probably be at this point. And if you're a Chargers fan, you could go as nothing since that's what your team has done this season. Will I pick any of these teams to win in Week 8?
Let's get to the picks and find out. Actually, before we get to the Week 8 picks, here's a quick reminder that you can check out the weekly picks from every CBSSports.com NFL expert by clicking here.

Through the first seven weeks, the Bills look like one of the best teams in the AFC, but my biggest issue with them is that their entire defense looks like a flaw. Having a major flaw isn't necessarily a bad thing.
My major flaw is that I watch "Hot Tub Time Machine" whenever it's on TV. To fix that flaw, I could either stop watching TV or I could destroy all the TVs in my house. Either one of those would work.
