2024 NFL Week 8 Spreads, Money Lines and Totals

NFL Week 8 Spreads, Money Lines and Totals

There are no byes meaning the Week 8 NFL schedule will consist of 16 games. The betting week starts with a classic NFC matchup on Thursday night between the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Rams and concludes on Monday Night Football with the New York Giants visiting Pittsburgh. The Vikings head into their matchup following their first loss of the season that dropped them into a tie with division counterpart Detroit atop the NFC North and the entire conference. They play the Rams for the first time since the 2021 season and are a 3-point early line favorite to get back in the win column. LA stopped a two-game slide with a 20-15 win over Las Vegas on Sunday but failed to cover the 7-point spread for a third straight game. The Rams have just one payout in their six games.

Injuries are a part of football and we saw a number of them in Week 7 that played with the opening Week 8 betting lines. Though he struggled this season, the loss of Deshaun Watson will affect the Cleveland Browns. It could turn out to be a blessing, though, since the embattled QB has been a shell of himself from his days with Houston. The Browns would have been an underdog regardless for their AFC North matchup with Baltimore, but they are now the biggest dog on the board catching 11-points. The Browns also lost backup Dorian Thompson-Robinson to a finger injury leaving the position in limbo against the red-hot Ravens, who have won five straight going 4-0-1 ATS in those games.

We were looking forward to a confrontation between the top two picks in the 2024 NFL draft when the Bears visit Washington on Sunday. That may not be the case, though, since Jayden Daniels left the Commanders win over Carolina with a rib injury. No. 1 overall selection Caleb Williams has overcome a slow start leading Chicago to three straight wins and covers. Over that span Williams has completed 74 percent of his passes with seven touchdowns and the Bears are averaging nearly 32 points. The team formerly known as the Redskins was favored before Daniels exited Sunday’s game with a rib injury. The Bears moved to -2.5 and are one of seven road favorites on the early line.

Only once in the first seven weeks did a team close as a double-digit favorite. Why is this being brought up you ask? Well, three teams on the Week 8 board are laying double-figures. Cleveland’s QB concerns are valid leaving them as an 11-point dog to Baltimore. With Lamar Jackson flashing his MVP form the Ravens are rolling. Jackson tossed five TD passes in Monday night’s 41-31 win over Tampa Bay and the Ravens haven’t lost since a shocking home upset to the Raiders in Week 2. They’ve scored at least 30 points in their last four games with Jackson throwing 13 TD passes and only one interception during the five-game winning streak.

We also have an AFC West matchup with a double-digit early line. The Chiefs remained undefeated and they are the last team standing following their win over San Francisco in a Super Bowl rematch. We saw how the Chiefs have evolved in that game with Patrick Mahomes throwing for just 154 yards with two interceptions and no touchdowns yet KC still won by 10 thanks to a defense that intercepted three Brock Purdy passes. The Raiders have dropped three straight scoring a total of 46 points in those games and lost Aidan O’Connell with a hand injury in Sunday’s loss to the Rams.

With a gutsy win on the road to hand the Vikings their first loss, the Lions have cemented their status as one of the top teams in the conference and in the NFL. They improved to 5-1 with their fourth straight win with payouts in each of those victories and they are an early 11-point favorite in their matchup with Tennessee. Jared Goff has been on fire completing 22 of 25 attempts for 280 yards and two TDs against the Vikings directing a drive for the game-winning field goal. Over his last three starts Goff completed 85.3 percent of his passes with seven TDs and zero INTs.

Last week was another good one for favorites, who went 10-5 SU and 8-7 ATS. It was the third straight week in which teams laying points won at least 10 games and they are 28-14-1 against the line.
