Vikings: Spread +3.0 (-110) | Moneyline +135
Chargers: Spread -3.0 (-110) | Moneyline -160
Total: Over/Under 44.5 (-110/-110)
The Los Angeles Chargers need to respond following a horrendous performance against the Colts. Los Angeles was defeated 38-24 at home, and were down 23-3 in the third quarter.
Justin Herbert turned the ball over twice, and the Chargers couldn't find any sustained offensive success early in the game. It will be very hard for Los Angeles to move the ball on the Vikings, who have one of the best defenses in the NFL.
Minnesota is also coming off a loss to the Eagles. The Vikings aren’t the best team, but they play hard and the Chargers look lost on both sides of the ball.
Dolphins: Spread +7.0 (-110) | Moneyline +275
Falcons: Spread -7.0 (-110) | Moneyline -350
Total: Over/Under 44.5 (-110/-110)
The Miami Dolphins haven’t won a game on the road this season. They’re also on the verge of firing their head coach Mike McDaniel.
The Dolphins were smoked by the Browns, and the team has seemed to give up on the season. Atlanta is coming off a bad loss to the San Francisco 49ers where they failed to manage the game in critical situations.
This is a perfect spot for Atlanta to respond, and they should lean on Bijan Robinson throughout the game.
Jets: Spread +6.5 (-105) | Moneyline +245
Bengals: Spread -6.5 (-115) | Moneyline -305
Total: Over/Under 44.5 (-110/-110)
Tyrod Taylor will most likely start for the Jets after Justin Fields got benched last week. Fields was 30th in passing yards and 31st in QBR, so Aaron Glenn had no choice but to bench the quarterback.
The Jets are 0-7 and have only been on the road twice this season. The Bengals are coming off a fantastic win over the Steelers, who beat New York to open the year.
Joe Flacco gives Cincinnati a great chance to win and cover after his 342-yard performance last Thursday.
Browns: Spread +7.0 (-110) | Moneyline +280
Patriots: Spread -7.0 (-110) | Moneyline -360
Total: Over/Under 40.5 (-110/-110)
The Cleveland Browns had their best offensive game of the season last week against the Dolphins. Quinshon Judkins scored three touchdowns as Cleveland rolled the Dolphins, 31-6.
The Browns are 0-3 on the road this season, and they’ll have an extremely tough test against the Patriots. Drake Maye is top five in NFL MVP odds, and New England is first in the AFC East.
Maye has thrown for 12 touchdowns and just two interceptions this season. The Patriots' offense will overpower the Browns throughout this game.
Giants: Spread +7.0 (-110) | Moneyline +275
Eagles: Spread -7.0 (-110) | Moneyline -350
Total: Over/Under 43.5 (-110/-110)
The Eagles are leading the NFC East at 5-2. One of their losses came against the Giants in a blowout.
Even though Philadelphia dropped a game to New York earlier this season, they’re still better in every facet of the game. AJ Brown caught two touchdowns last week, and Philadelphia has seemed to find their passing game.
If Jalen Hurts can find Brown and DeVonta Smith in the deep passing game, the Giants don’t have a realistic chance. New York will need the Eagles to create self-inflicted wounds to prevail for the second time against Philadelphia.
Bills: Spread -7.5 (-110) | Moneyline -425
Panthers: Spread +7.5 (-110) | Moneyline +325
Total: Over/Under 45.5 (-110/-110)
The Bills lost to the Falcons in prime time in Week 6, and now they’re coming off a bye week. Buffalo with time to prepare, will be hard to beat, especially for an inferior opponent in the Panthers.
Carolina beat New York last week, but beating the Jets isn’t a very big deal. Buffalo has one of the best quarterbacks in the league with Josh Allen, and they should put up a lot of points off their bye week.
Allen hasn’t been spectacular this season, but he is a challenge for any defense.
Bears: Spread +6.5 (-110) | Moneyline +260
Ravens: Spread -6.5 (-110) | Moneyline -320
Total: Over/Under 50.5 (-110/-110)
The Baltimore Ravens were expected to win the AFC North this season, but this would be a shocking outcome after seven games. The Ravens are 1-5 on the season, and they’re still without their starting quarterback, Lamar Jackson.
The odds would suggest that Jackson will play against the Bears, and the team needs him back on the field. The Ravens can only afford to lose three more games to give themselves a chance at the playoffs.
The Bears present the Ravens with some challenges, but it’s hard not to trust Baltimore coming off a bye week.
49ers: Spread -1.5 (-110) | Moneyline -125
Texans: Spread +1.5 (-110) | Moneyline +105
Total: Over/Under 41.5 (-110/-110)
The San Francisco 49ers beat the Atlanta Falcons in Week 7, and they’ll look to keep their momentum rolling against the Texans. Houston has a fantastic defense, but they’ve struggled to score points.
CJ Stroud hasn’t done anything special, and he will have to score to keep pace with the 49ers. Christian McCaffrey has been one of the best players in the league this season, and he has kept the team afloat with all their injuries.
McCaffrey leads the league in carries and has nearly 1,000 all-purpose yards through seven games. Look for San Francisco to lean on their feature back in this contest.
Buccaneers: Spread -5.5 (-110) | Moneyline -260
Saints: Spread +5.5 (-110) | Moneyline +210
Total: Over/Under 47.5 (-105/-115)
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are leading the NFC South and will face a divisional opponent in the Saints on Sunday. Spencer Rattler is coming off his worst game of the season, where he threw three interceptions.
The quarterback has been relatively efficient this season outside of this game. He should bounce back, but Tampa Bay is too strong.
The Buccaneers will be without Mike Evans for the game after his Week 7 injury, but they still hace enough receiving talent to win.
Cowboys: Spread +3.0 (+100) | Moneyline +145
Broncos: Spread -3.0 (-120) | Moneyline -170
Total: Over/Under 49.5 (-110/-110)
The Dallas Cowboys are being carried by the offense. Dak Prescott looks outstanding at quarterback, ranking second in the NFL in passing yards with 1,881.
He has the best QBR in the NFL, and has a deadly receiver duo on his side with George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb.
The Broncos are coming off a 19-0 fourth-quarter comeback where they scored 33 points in the final 15 minutes. The Broncos' defense and surging offense should be enough to beat Dallas.
Titans: Spread +14.0 (-110) | Moneyline +650
Colts: Spread -14.0 (-110) | Moneyline -1000
Total: Over/Under 47.0 (-110/-110)
The Indianapolis Colts hold the top seed in the AFC. Daniel Jones has revived his career in Indianapolis, and this means the Titans won’t have an easy time pulling off a road upset.
Tennessee is pacing to be the last place team in the AFC South. Cam Ward has potential, but this franchise is in turmoil.
They just fired their head coach Brian Callahan, and they’re facing the most connected team in the NFL.
Packers: Spread -3.0 (-120) | Moneyline -185
Steelers: Spread +3.0 (+100) | Moneyline +155
Total: Over/Under 45.0 (-110/-110)
Aaron Rodgers will make his return to Green Bay to face the Packers on Sunday Night Football. The Packers are the NFC Championship favorites, and they’re significantly better than Pittsburgh coming into this game.
The Steelers were defeated by the Bengals in Week 7, and their secondary looked terrible. The Packers have a strong play-action game with Jordan Love, and this should give Pittsburgh headaches on the road.
Commanders: Spread +10.0 (-110) | Moneyline +450
Chiefs: Spread -10.0 (-110) | Moneyline -600
Total: Over/Under 48.5 (-110/-110)
Jayden Daniels suffered an insignificant hamstring injury against the Cowboys in Week 7. His status for Week 8 is unclear, but if he doesn’t play, Washington most likely won’t win.
The Commanders have one of the worst passing defenses in the NFL, and this isn’t a winning formula against the Chiefs.
Patrick Mahomes has been excellent throwing the ball downfield, and Rashee Rice is back in the lineup for the team, which adds explosiveness to the offense.
