Know they get a Rams team coming off of what was effectively their Super Bowl which is in for a letdown.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Baltimore Ravens at Cincinnati Bengals<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Week 8 NFL Spread: Bengals -1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Bengals have their backs against the wall and will surely come out fighting when these teams meet in Cincinnati on Sunday. The Bengals took down the first meeting between these teams in Week 1 and enjoy one of the best home field advantages in football.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Philadelphia Eagles at Arizona Cardinals<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Week 8 NFL Spread: Cardinals -2.5<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Cardinals have been one of the best teams in football, even though they\u2019ve done so by flying under the radar. As for the Eagles, they get this game out of a bye but didn\u2019t look impressive to open the season despite what their record indicates, having been ultra-reliant on defensive and special teams touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Oakland Raiders at Cleveland Browns<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Week 8 NFL Spread: Browns -7<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Raiders put everything they had into last weekend\u2019s game against the Arizona Cardinals which figures to mean Sunday\u2019s game will be a tricky one to navigate or them. The Browns are coming off a disappointing performance against the Jaguars but looked solid prior to that contest.<\/p>\n<h3>NFL Gambling \u2013 Week 8 Underdogs<\/h3>\n<p><strong>San Diego Chargers at Denver Broncos<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Week 8 NFL Spread: Chargers +7.5<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=66501&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>Few teams have given the Broncos trouble like the Chargers have in recent years. San Diego was clearly guilty of looking ahead a week ago and now looks to make good on that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Detroit Lions at Atlanta Falcons<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Week 8 NFL Spread: Falcons +3.5<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For as far as the Falcons have fall, they are getting this one at home. While they\u2019ll again struggle to keep Matt Ryan upright, particularly against the fierce pass rush of the Lions, they have the weapons to score points through the air. The Lions\u2019 offense has looked atrocious without Calvin Johnson.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Miami Dolphins at Jacksonville Jaguars<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Week 8 NFL Spread: Jaguars +5<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The underdog in Dolphins games has been very profitable to bettors, as the Dolphins have done a great job in the underdog role themselves while failing to take care of business themselves. The Jaguars enter with plenty of momentum coming off their first win of the season.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63752&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Green Bay Packers at New Orleans Saints<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Week 8 NFL Spread: Packers +1.5<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Saints finally return home but find themselves going up against Aaron Rodgers, who loves to play indoors himself. Both teams should put up plenty of points in this one, but the Saints are limited with regards to their offensive weapons at the moment and that figures to be the difference.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Washington Redskins at Dallas Cowboys<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Week 8 NFL Spread: Redskins +9.5<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s looking more and more like the Cowboys have turned the corner every week, there\u2019s still just something about seeing the team in the role of a favorite that\u2019s disconcerting. Getting a division rival, maybe their biggest rival, at home on a Monday night is a tricky spot.<\/p>\n<h3>Check out our <a title=\"NFL Week 8 Odds\" href=\"https:\/\/capperspicks.sportsdirectinc.com\/odds\/nfl.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\">Updated NFL Week 8\u00a0Odds<\/a>.<\/h3>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63706&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Expert NFL Cappers \u2013 Week 8\u00a0Projections The seventh week of the NFL season wasn\u2019t all that friendly to bettors, but Week 8 brings with it some enticing matchups that should make for an entertaining, and hopefully profitable, slate of games.
