Week 8 Pointspreads & Handicappers Insight
[dfads params=’groups=63740&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
The trick is predicting which game may have that unforeseen result.
Let’s take a look at all of the Week 8 games, the odds that accompany them and what may play out in what is sure to be another whacky week of NFL ball.
Chargers at Broncos
Week 8 Point Spread: Broncos -7 1/2
The Chargers played the Broncos tough last season – beating them in Week 15 and covering in the playoffs. That said this version of the Broncos is far too complete and far too confident to let this one slip away. The Chargers were exposed last week against Kansas City – they may have overrated for the first six weeks of the season.
Lions vs. Falcons @London, England
Week 8 Point Spread: Lions -3 1/2
Atlanta has been a disaster lately – and Sunday’s game in London is on the road – where the Falcons have been brutal.
[dfads params=’groups=63753&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
The Lions won last week without Calvin Johnson – impressive indeed. The Detroit defense should dominate in this one en route to an easy Lions victory.
Vikings at Bucs
Week 8 Point Spread: Vikings +3
The Vikings have found themselves a running game! Although Tampa Bay is coming off a bye, it is pretty hard to like any aspect of their game. Minnesota should have won in Week 7 – karma gives them the victory this week.
Bears at Patriots
Week 8 Point Spread: Patriots -6 1/2
The Bears lost at home to Miami in Week 7 – at ton of bickering followed. For some reason this team looks anything but the cohesive unit required to defeat a suddenly HOT Patriots team. Although the Bears are 3-1 ATS on the road this season, there appears to be too much dissention in the room for me to support them.
Rams at Chiefs
Week 8 Point Spread: Chiefs -6
Both teams are coming off big wins in Week 7 – it was the Chiefs that impressed the most in their road win at San Diego. When Jamaal Charles is going well and Alex Smith is taking care of the ball the Chiefs are a tough team to beat – that’s what is happening now.
Seahawks at Panthers
Week 8 Point Spread: Seahawks -4
The loser of this game falls below .500! Incredible I know. The last two games between these teams have been close and it has been low scoring. I am expecting more of the same. But Carolina’s league-worst run defense will be the determining factor – Russell Wilson, Marshawn Lynch and company should be able to run at will. The Seahawks get a much needed win – 20-14.
Bills at Jets
Week 8 Point Spread: Jets -3
The Jets have some reason for optimism – a close loss to the Patriots in Week 7 and the addition of Percy Harvin have things looking good for the one-win team. Fred Jackson and CJ Spiller will both miss this game giving a huge edge to the Jets.
Dolphins at Jaguars
Week 8 Point Spread: Dolphins -5
Jacksonville got their first win of the season last week and covered the spread for the second straight home game while limiting the Browns to just six points. Miami seems to be on a bit of a roll however – their offense is clicking and the defensive line is among the best in the game. It all adds up to an easy win for the Fins as they harass Blake Bortles into a few game-changing mistakes.
Texans at Titans
Week 8 Point Spread: Texans -1 1/2
The Texans played well Monday night except for a 3 minute stretch that changed the game. Expect a bounce back as Arian Foster dominates.
Ravens at Bengals
Week 8 Point Spread: Ravens +2 1/2
The Bengals have been a disaster the last couple of weeks while the Ravens have once again become a contender in the AFC. IF AJ Green is forced to sit again it will be a long day for Cincinnati once again. It is hard to imagine the Bengals turning things around even if Green does play! Take Baltimore to make another statement in the AFC North,
Eagles at Cardinals
Week 8 Point Spread: Eagles +2 1/2
The Eagles, off a bye should be ready to play against a very good Cardinals team this week. Philadelphia is 6-2 ATS in their last eight road games and with LeSean McCoy finally showing up I like Philadelphia to keep pace with the Cowboys.
[dfads params=’groups=66501&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
Colts at Steelers
Week 8 Point Spread: Colts -2 1/2
Nobody is holding the Colts down right now – at home or on the road. Indianapolis’s defense is just good enough to hold Big Ben and company down enough for the offense to do its thing. 27-20 for the Cols looks about right.
Raiders at Browns
Week 8 Point Spread: Raiders +7
The Browns allowed the Jaguars their first win of the season last week and will be in tough again this week against the other winless team.
[dfads params=’groups=63752&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
Interim coach Tony Sporano has the Raiders playing much better ball and after two solid efforts, take the Raiders to at least keep this game close.
Packers at Saints
Week 8 Point Spread: Packers +2
New Orleans’ defense just can’t get it together and their offensive line just can’t keep Drew Brees upright. The Packers are on a roll after an unflattering start to the season. Although the Saints are 10-0 in their last 10 home dates, don’t expect them to cool off the Packers who are clicking on all cylinders right now.
Redskins at Cowboys
Week 8 Point Spread: Cowboys -9 1/2
AFC East games are always tight but there is no denying that the Cowboys are the hottest team in the NFL right now. The Skins are coming off a win but a QB controversy has reared its ugly head in the Nation’s Capital. Washington’s defense has been a nice surprise but holding down Dallas’s top ranked running game as well as Tony Romo, Dez Bryant and Terrence Williams is a tall task to say the least. Take Dallas to continue their meteoric rise up the Rankings with another impressive win.
