NFL Week 8 Bets, Picks, and Predictions
Harry Prskalo
- Falcons ML (-146)
- Chiefs vs Raiders O 41.5 (-110)
- Cowboys +4.5 (-110)
- Kenneth Walker O 65.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
- C.J Stroud O 1.5 Passing TDs (+100)
These two bets I am choosing strictly because of the matchups. When it comes to Saquon, this is the revenge game.
I find it hard to believe that the Eagles will not let Barkley feast against his former team. For Gibbs, the Vikings allowed the lowest rushing yards so far this season, with only 336 rushing yards. Gibbs should see plenty of targets in which should be a high scoring game.
Michael Cavallo
- Eagles +2.5 (Even)
- Packers ML (-190)
- Cardinals +3.5 (-115)
- D’Andre Swift over 2.5 receptions (-165)
- Josh Jacobs 60+ Rushing yards (-170)
Heading into Week 8, Chicago Bears running back D’Andre Swift has been a solid contributor in the Bears’ passing attack. Swift has recorded two or more receptions in five-out-of-six games this year. He is averaging 3.2 receptions and 3.8 targets through six games in 2024.
As for Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs, the Alabama prospect has rushed for 60+ yards five-out-of-seven games this season. He is averaging 77.14 rushing yards per game and is the main contributor in the Packers’ backfield (averaging 17.14 carries per game).
Brandyn Pokrass
- Ravens -8 (-112)
- Jets vs. Patriots U 41 (-112)
- Cincinnati ML (-148)
- Rachaad White ATD (-105)
- Lamar Jackson 2+ Passing TDs (+135)
With Tampa Bay being decimated at WR, I expect White to be featured heavily in the passing game. Add in an increased workload due to Bucky Irving’s abssence, and I feel that White is one of the best TD bets of the entire slate.
For Jackson, I do not expect a struggling Cleveland defense to slow down his roll. I expect the current MVP favorite to throw two touchdowns, at least, against the Browns on Sunday.
Evan Solomon
- Packers ML (-198)
- Steelers -6.5 (-105)
- Bills ML (-110)
- Javonte Williams Anytime TD Scorer (-110)
- Breece Hall Anytime TD Scorer (-145)
Javonte Williams is coming off a two touchdown performance against a bottom 10 rushing defense, and this week he gets to face the Panthers. The Panthers have allowed a league high 13 rushing TDs, or 1.9 TDs a game, putting Javonte in line to score again in this content.
The Jets play the Patriots this week, which is the only team they were able to dominate all season. The Patriots just allowed Tank Bigsby to get two TDs against them in week 7, and the Jets really need this win. Breece Hall scored against them last time they played, and expect him to score a touchdown again.
Brandon Haye
- Falcons -2.5 (-115)
- Bills vs Seahawks O44.5 (-156) Alt Line
- Saints vs Chargers U40.5 (-110)
- Tee Higgins O69.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
- Breece Hall O 74.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
Every Since coming back from from injury Tee Higgins has been on a tear. He has 20 receptions in the last three games and has 77 or more yards in those games. The Eagles give up the 12th most yards to receivers and the focus should be on stopping Ja’Marr Chase.
The Jets need to get a win and the best way will be to lean on the running game. Tank Bigsby just ran for 118 yards against the Patriots and they give up the fourth most rushing yards per game. Aaron Rodgers is banged up so the Jets should lean on the running game to get the win.
