Here are the Week 8 underdog picks

This is the weekend when nearly all the sports come at us at once. It's also the time when the dark and the rain descend on Portland for another year. And so the TV set can show the games nonstop, without a trace of regret. It's a good time to bake something and sip on a dark liquid.
