Bama in the NFL: Week Eight Outlook

Week eight is here and it has some big matchups! Which teams will hit their mid-season strides? Let's break down the matchups.

Cardinals vs. Dolphins (Sun. Noon ct.):

Tua Tagovailoa (Dolphins) - Looking to make his return from IR this week after the Dolphins bye; Tagovailoa looks to turn things around for their season. Their offense has been the worst in the league since week 1 (the injury occurred in the first half of week 2), they should be able to get that back up this week. Look for a good game here, and one that could be a shootout.

Jaylen Waddle (Dolphins) - With Tagovailoa seemingly back at the helm this week, Waddle looks to have a good game where he should see an increase in targets. A slow start could happen if Hill sees most of the action, or if it takes time for Tagovailoa to get back in rhythm.

Ravens vs. Browns (Noon ct.):

Derrick Henry (Ravens) - I think I should just name this guy the player of the week every week. That's also his outlook. Watch for another big game and big runs this week.

Jerry Jeudy (Browns) -  No more Deshaun Watson as he is out with a season ending injury. Could be a rough upcoming stretch for Jeudy if Winston does not start. If he does, it could mean Jeudy will get a lot of action.

Eagles vs. Bengals (Sun. Noon ct.): 

Jalen Hurts (Eagles) - What may be both teams' game that launches them to a good finish. That goes for Hurts as well. If he can deliver in this one, the Eagles may be on their way. A weak defense in this matchup too.

DeVonta Smith (Eagles) - Should be a good game from Smitty. Brown should get a ton of attention, leaving Smith available down under. A good defense to take advantage of too. Expect a solid performance.

That does it for this week's games. Check back Tuesday for the recap. Roll Tide!
