This has so far been a rather unpredictable year and the ones pulling away are probably not the ones you expected pre-season.<\/p>\n<p>The Eagles maintained their and the NFL&#8217;s only 100% record with an easy win over the Steelers, while in the AFC The Bills continued to impress with a routine win over Green Bay. Both Eastern Divisions are looking strong this year with only the NY teams losing this week.<\/p>\n<p>In The NFC Minnesota has emerged as the Eagle&#8217;s biggest challenger now at 6-1 and more surprisingly three games clear at the top of the NFC North. Their only loss was to the Eagles in week two and it is starting to look likely that these two will face off again in the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>It was also a good week for the neutral fan with eight games being one-score affairs including the Thursday night game and the London game.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of these&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3>Thursday Night Football<\/h3>\n<p>The Buccaneer&#8217;s struggles continued as they fell to 3-5 despite a valiant effort by Tom Brady who put up 325 yards. That was Tampa&#8217;s 4th loss in five games but such is the state of the NFC South they are still only a game back on the leaders. Once again the Buccs were plagued by miscues gifting the Ravens an early three points on a muffed fair catch and of course, their running game was again non-existent.<\/p>\n<p>Baltimore trailed at the half but a solid performance by Lamarr Jackson soon saw them safely home. The Ravens ran the ball with ease putting up 231 yards which allowed them to control the clock.<\/p>\n<h3>London Game Denver Win Another One Score Affair<\/h3>\n<p>Denver got back to winning ways in another one-score game. Russell Wilson had a decent game putting up 252 yards and scoring a TD.\u00a0 Will this be a turning point for the Broncos? Well, they have been involved in a lot of one-score games so far and if they can start winning these instead of losing them there is still time for them to maker a run.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The Packers Looked Better On Offense But Still Lost<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-43283\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/36\/2022\/10\/2022-NFL-Fixtures-Week-Eight-1024x536.jpg\" alt=\"2022 NFL Fixtures Week Eight\" width=\"800\" height=\"419\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/36\/2022\/10\/2022-NFL-Fixtures-Week-Eight-1024x536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/36\/2022\/10\/2022-NFL-Fixtures-Week-Eight-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/36\/2022\/10\/2022-NFL-Fixtures-Week-Eight-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/36\/2022\/10\/2022-NFL-Fixtures-Week-Eight-128x67.jpg 128w, https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/36\/2022\/10\/2022-NFL-Fixtures-Week-Eight-32x17.jpg 32w, https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/36\/2022\/10\/2022-NFL-Fixtures-Week-Eight.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We had this pegged as our game of the week some time ago, and it pretty much lived up to expectations. The Bills ran out deserved winners, however, there were signs of life from the Green Bay offense with Aaron Jones &amp; AJ Dillon combining for nearly 200 yards rushing. This was Green Bays&#8217; fourth defeat in a row and they really need to address their WR issue asap or their season will soon be over.<\/p>\n<h2>The Redemption of Geno Smith<\/h2>\n<p>The Seahawks were expected to be in rebuild this year but instead are sitting top of the NFC West.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Geno_Smith\">Geno Smith<\/a> has played his part in this much to our surprise. He only figured in a handful of games between 2019 &amp; 2021 and was by no means certain to win the starter&#8217;s job coming into the season. He put in another solid performance on Sunday, throwing for a couple of TDs and more importantly no turnovers. He is probably not the team&#8217;s long-term answer at QB, however, if he keeps this up it will take the pressure off them regarding next year&#8217;s draft.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the week&#8217;s results are below&#8230;<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">NFL 2022 Week Seven results<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><strong>Baltimore 27 @ Tampa Bay 22<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>London Game<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Denver 21 @ Jacksonville 17<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Sunday Early Games<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Carolina 34 @ Atlanta 37<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Chicago 29 @ Dallas 49<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Miami 31 @ Detroit 27<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Arizona 26 @ Minnesota 34<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>LV Raiders 0 @ New Orleans 24<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>New England 22 @ New York Jets 17<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pittsburgh 13 @ Philadelphia 35<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Sunday Late Games<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Tennessee 17 @ Houston 10<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Washington 17 @ Indianapolis 16<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>San Francisco 31 @ LA Rams 14<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>New York Giants 13 @ Seattle 27<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Sunday Night Game<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Green Bay 17 @ Buffalo 27<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Monday Night Football<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Cincinnati 13 @ Cleveland 32<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Teams On A Bye Week<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Kansas City &amp;\u00a0 LA Chargers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can check out our earlier predictions for the above games <a title=\"2022 NFL Week 8 Fixtures \u2013 Can Green Bay Stop Their Slide\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/nfl\/2022-nfl-week-8-fixtures-can-green-bay-stop-their-slide\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s halfway through the season for most and finally, a few teams are starting to pull away from the pack.
