NFL Week 8 betting preview, tips & top predictions

Week Eight of the NFL season is here, and all teams are in action with no byes. The schedule is packed with exciting games, and we’ve got our top picks for Sunday’s matchups.

Washington Commanders vs Philadelphia Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles, holding a strong 6-1 record, are fresh off an impressive Sunday Night Football victory against the Miami Dolphins. Despite their position as one of the NFL’s top teams, their inconsistent defence is a concern. We believe the Washington Commanders will exploit this vulnerability. Although Washington has struggled to find consistency with a 3-4 record, we anticipate a close contest in their home game. These teams clashed just three weeks ago, with Philadelphia winning by a slim margin; we expect a similar outcome this time around.

Dallas Cowboys vs Los Angeles Rams

The game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Los Angeles Rams, both vying for a playoff spot, promises to be a high-scoring affair. In such situations, Cooper Kupp tends to shine. Despite a challenging outing last weekend, Kupp displayed his potential in the previous two weeks, accumulating over 115 yards in consecutive games. Facing a Cowboys defense dealing with injuries, Kupp is poised to find the end zone in this matchup.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs Jacksonville Jaguars

The Pittsburgh Steelers, with a 4-2 record in six games, have consistently shown their ability to secure unconventional wins. In this home game, they take on a Jacksonville team that has won four consecutive games, but the Steelers are expected to dictate the pace. Pittsburgh will likely employ their trademark gritty style of football, controlling the clock and clinching a home victory.

New York Giants vs New York Jets

Saquon Barkley, the star running back for the New York Giants, has performed admirably since his return from injury. He has consistently gained over 100 total yards in each game since his comeback and plays a central role in the Giants’ offence. The Giants rely on Barkley as their primary playmaker, and he should see ample opportunities, particularly against the Jets’ vulnerable rush defence. At +130 with the top bookmakers, we like his chances of reaching the end zone.

Arizona Cardinals vs Baltimore Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens have been the talk of the NFL after dismantling the Super Bowl-contending Detroit Lions in their previous game. The Ravens appear to have addressed their early-season offensive issues. Nonetheless, we’re favouring the scrappy 1-6 Arizona Cardinals, who hold a 2-1 home record against the spread. We see value in the Cardinals, as we believe the Ravens may still have unresolved issues, and last week’s victory could prove to be an exception.

San Francisco 49ers vs Cincinnati Bengals

The once-elite San Francisco defense was exposed in their last outing, particularly in their susceptibility to the pass. During that game, the Minnesota Vikings’ top receiver, Jordan Addison, scored two touchdowns and accumulated over 120 yards. We anticipate Ja’Marr Chase having a similar impact due to his skill set and the 49ers’ pass defence vulnerabilities. In this game, we expect him to find the end zone, and the odds seem favorable for one of the NFL’s standout players.

Los Angeles Chargers vs Chicago Bears

The Los Angeles Chargers have had their share of disappointments this season, but this game offers an ideal opportunity for a rebound. The Chicago Bears possess one of the league’s weakest defences, and the Chargers, led by Justin Herbert, should capitalize on this. This Sunday night matchup is poised to be a one-sided affair, and we anticipate the Chargers covering the substantial spread at home and bouncing back from their recent setback.
