NFL betting guide: Week 8 predictions

ATS picks: Get ATS predictions from five different staff writers on every game of the week.

NFL Week 8 TD picks: J.K. Dobbins has become a bell cow for the Broncos, and he has a palatable TD line against the Cowboys’ defence. If that doesn’t have your attention, maybe a +255 TD pick on a Houston wide receiver will.

Best bets: Rodgers is still spinning it in his age-41 season. Read why he’s a good bet to torch the Packers’ secondary, plus get a pair of ATS picks and one moneyline bet.

Prop bets: Don’t look now, but Drake Maye is an MVP candidate in his sophomore season. Jordan Horrobin is backing the phenom, alongside a star wide receiver and a star running back.

Packers vs. Steelers picks: Avery Perri is also backing the Rodgers-led offence to produce, taking the over on Pittsburgh’s team total. He also has a prop bet on Jaylen Warren.

Packers vs. Steelers SGP: Will Rodgers get some revenge? Steven Psihogios says yes. He’s betting on the Steelers and the veteran QB in his +360 ticket.

Packers vs. Steelers TD picks: Happy National Tight End’s Day! Find out how to back Jonnu Smith on Sunday Night Football.

Commanders vs. Chiefs picks: Kansas City is on a roll, and faces a Jayden Daniels-less Washington squad. That sounds like the recipe for a blowout.

Commanders vs. Chiefs SGP: Terry McLaurin is back for the Commanders. Bet on the wide receiver in this +380 Monday Night Football SGP.

NFL Week 8 betting notes

Just how hot are the Colts? Daniel Jones has led Indianapolis to a 6-1 start SU with a 5-2 ATS record. The squad is averaging a league-best 33.1 PPG and 3.46 points per drive.

Lamar Jackson has logged three straight full practices as of Friday, putting him in line to start against the Bears. He has a 24-3 SU record against NFC teams.

The Cowboys have the No. 2 scoring offence and No. 30 scoring defence. As a result, they’ve had four straight games go over 55 points (65.5 average).

Bijan Robinson is on pace for a 2,589 scrimmage yards season, which would be the most ever. He faces a Dolphins team allowing the most rushing yards per game (159.3) at the fourth-highest YPC (5.2).

Rodgers can become the fifth QB in NFL history to beat all 32 teams with a win on SNF over the Packers. Mike Tomlin is 19-13 straight up as a home underdog (and 12-3 ATS as a home underdog following a loss).

Biggest spreads: Titans vs. Colts (-14.5); Commanders vs. Chiefs (-12.5), Giants vs. Eagles (-7.5)

Highest totals: Cowboys vs. Broncos (50.5); Bears vs. Ravens (49.5); Commanders vs. Chiefs (48)
