Week 8 best bets: Zay Flowers tallies big day in Lamar Jackson's return, Steelers win AFC North showdown

Last week, we went a perfect 5-0. It took until quite literally the last play, but the Browns beat the Titans. Daniel Jones threw an interception. Ashton Jeanty and Josh Jacobs both went under their respective rushing totals of 49.5 and 47.5, and both legs of our two-part Rams parlay — moneyline vs. the Raiders and Blake Corum 40+ rushing + receiving yards — hit. That's a great week! I'm pumped to have responded from a bad Week 6. But as anyone in the NFL would say, the best thing to do after a win is stack wins. So let's get to stacking. We, as an NFL-viewing public, are being robbed of one of the most fun players to watch.Trey McBride is an absolute monster, but he's stuck on yet another bad Cardinals team. He has have at least seven catches in nine consecutive games. Nine! That is... Tied for the longest streak by any player in the past five seasons Six games longer than the next-longest active streak (Malik Nabers with three) Last week, McBride had 10 catches for 111 yards and a touchdown against the vaunted Broncos defense. Now he faces a less-than-daunting Cowboys defense. The Cardinals will have to throw a ton to keep up with Dallas' offense, which should tear apart an overmatched Arizona defense. Expect another huge day from McBride, the most underappreciated superstar in the league. If he played for a team with any playoff hopes, he'd be getting his flowers week-in, week-out. The Browns haven't won a regular-season game in Pittsburgh since 2003.
