Franchise Quarterback

Written by Sam DeCoste The NFL season has already reached Week 8, and there are some great matchups to stay tuned to this weekend. The Dolphins and Ravens open the slate on Thursday night, and the Broncos and Chiefs close it out on Monday night in a critical AFC West contest. Week 8 also includes Texans-Seahawks, Raiders-Bills, and Steelers-Lions. It's the last week of games in October, and Halloween is rapidly approaching. Will your team get a treat by getting a win, or does the opposition have some tricks up their sleeves to spoil the party? Let's get it!
