NFL Week 8 upset alert: Can Lamar Jackson stun Bills? Will Vikings stay undefeated?

As the NFL season reaches Week 8, analysts are highlighting potential upsets, pointing back to previous successes such as the Giants defeating the Texans behind J.J. McCarthy's return and the Falcons taking down the 49ers.

Looking ahead to upcoming matchups, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers prepare to host the Atlanta Falcons following a dominant victory over the Carolina Panthers. In that previous contest, Baker Mayfield returned from injury to throw for 64 yards and a touchdown during a 43-13 rout, though Carolina assisted the effort with numerous self-inflicted errors that resulted in a massive halftime deficit.

Now, Tampa Bay must contend with an Atlanta defense boasting the fourth-fewest rushing yards allowed per game and a strong pass pressure rate, which could force Mayfield to throw more often against a tough opponent.
