NFL Week 8 Full Schedule with Spreads: Betting Analysis

The NFL Week 8 full schedule is precisely that – a full schedule, as all 32 teams will be back in action since there are no bye weeks. There are a couple of games you’ll want to watch. But for the most part, it’s an average slate of games on tap. Here is the NFL Week 8 schedule with spreads.

The NFL Week 8 full schedule begins with a bit of a mismatch in Buffalo. The Bills are 10-point favorites over Tampa Bay. It’s never easy to lay double digits in the NFL. The Buccaneers will be an average team this season, so the spread is a bit of a concern if you like the Bills. Buffalo could be ripe for a letdown here, as Cincinnati, Denver, Jets, Eagles, and Chiefs are their next five games. Then Dallas and the Los Angeles Chargers are waiting in the wings, so it’s a brutal seven-game stretch for the Bills. Tampa Bay has Houston on tap. The NFL Week 8 betting lines might be a shade too generous here, and the Bucs are worth a look.

New Orleans comes into this one as small road favorites, and the Saints don’t give you a lot of confidence as a road favorite. This is the second straight home game for the Colts. It’s a bit hard to pull the trigger here, as this appears to be one of the most demanding NFL Week 8 matchups, but taking the Colts in a teaser makes some sense. You could push the spread past the critical numbers of 3 and 7 and have a home team that will at least give an honest effort.

The ‘Battle of New York’ sees the Jets as 1.5-point road favorites in what should be a pretty good game. The Jets are getting much more attention than the Giants, so the NFL Week 8 point spread makes sense here. This is another game where it’s hard to predict the winner, but the home underdog offers so much value in a teaser since you can push the spread past the two critical numbers in the NFL. Take the Giants in a teaser.

This one could be a pretty decent game between division rivals. The Eagles and Commanders split the two games last year. Philadelphia should lead Washington in the NFL conference standings through the first seven weeks. But Washington isn’t a pushover and can play teams tough. Seeing this one come down to the wire wouldn’t be a shock. Washington will put up a fight and could be the right side in this game for one of your NFL Week 8 picks against the spread.

This game features two teams unlikely to be high up in the NFL Week 8 standings. Both are average teams, but neither plays in a particularly tough division, so you can’t rule them out of the playoffs. The Titans probably should have torn it down after last season, but they hope the old guys have one final push in them. The Falcons are re-tooling on the go. It’s a little bit easier to trust Tennessee in this game.

The Dolphins seem slightly underpriced in this contest, as you would expect Miami to be closer to 5.5-point favorites. Miami is the better team, but they split their two meetings a year ago. This is a bit of a tough game for the Dolphins mentally. Miami is coming off a game with the Eagles and has Kansas City on tap. You don’t typically overlook a division rival, but you could almost make a case for the Dolphins to take the Patriots a bit lightly. The NFL Week 8 results should show the Dolphins getting a win, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Patriots sneak in under the spread.

The Los Angeles Rams have a tough early schedule featuring games against San Francisco, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, and Dallas. Los Angeles played its last two games at home. The Cowboys are coming off-road games with the 49ers and Chargers and will visit Philadelphia the following week. This isn’t an ideal situation for Dallas. The betting lines for NFL Week 8 are pretty much dialed in for this game. The team that enters the game the least banged up is likely the side to be on.

The NFL Week 8 point spreads have the Panthers as rare favorites this week, as they host Houston. Carolina probably won’t be favored more than four or five times this season, and this could be the biggest favorite they are all season. The Texans will at least be entertaining to watch if CJ Stroud wins the quarterback spot. This game will be hyped up as a battle of the young quarterbacks, but both Stroud and Bryce Young have a bit of learning to do this season. Carolina should be the better team, and the price is cheap.

This one is shaping up like it could be a decent game, with the Jaguars visiting Pittsburgh. The Jaguars do have their bye week after this game. Jacksonville is coming off games with the Colts and the Saints, so they should be ready to play this one. The Steelers are beginning a stretch of three straight home games that will determine their fate this season. This game could be one to look at the NFL Week 8 injury report, as the Jaguars will likely have a few walking wounded after playing eight weeks, including back-to-back weeks in London.

NFC North rivals Minnesota, and Green Bay meet again, and both teams are expected to be down slightly. The NFL Week 8 odds show the Vikings are road favorites against Green Bay for the third time since 2000. There’s a lot of pressure on Jordan Love, but there’s also a bit on Kirk Cousins to show he’s the man who can get Minnesota over the hump. The weather shouldn’t be too bad this time of year, which could help the Vikings and their passing attack.

The NFL Week 8 betting odds seem a little light on the Seahawks this week. You’d expect Seattle to be a three-point favorite playing at home. The Browns should be better for having Deshaun Watson for the entire season. But Seattle is still a decent football team with a good home-field advantage. This is the second of two straight road games for Cleveland. Seattle is playing its second straight home game and has a road trip to Baltimore the following week. Seattle looks to offer a little bit of value here.

The Ravens are favored by 5.5 points, and if Arizona is as bad as many claim, you have to wonder if the line isn’t a shade low. This is the only road game for Baltimore in a five-week stretch, as the NFL schedule has the team at home for the next three games. This is Arizona‘s fourth home game of the season, and all four will have been against playoff teams from last year. Baltimore deserves consideration as one of your NFL Week 8 parlay picks, if nothing else, in this spot.

This one could be a decent game depending on how much Denver rebounds from last year’s offensive struggles. Scoring points shouldn’t be a problem for Kansas City, who won both games between the two last year. Still, both games were close, which is what you expect to see in division battles. Kansas City was 7-2 in away games last year but just 4-5 against the spread. The line is relatively small here. Russell Wilson can’t try to outduel Patrick Mahomes in this one and has to let his teammates handle some of the work. This one could see a few more points than expected and be a decent NFL Week 8 over under play on the over.

This is one of the better games on the NFL schedule this week, as the Bengals visit the 49ers. Cincinnati does have a home game against Buffalo next week. But the 49ers are a good enough team that the Bengals shouldn’t be looking past them. This will be the only home game for San Francisco in a four-week stretch, so it’s one they’ll want to play well in. The NFL Week 8 predictions like the 49ers to win this game.

The NFL Week 8 full schedule wraps up Sunday’s action with an interesting game between the Bears and the Chargers. A lot of people are expecting decent things out of Chicago this season. But the Chargers aren’t an easy team to play on the road. The Bears weren’t an excellent team last year, and if you use last year’s numbers, the NFL predictions would have the Chargers winning by 8.5 points. But it’s not unreasonable to expect a little more from a young team like Chicago this season. This is one of the tougher games to make your NFL Week 8 expert picks on.

The NFL Week 8 full schedule wraps up with Las Vegas visiting Detroit for the Monday night contest. It isn’t an easy year for the Raiders, who play in a tough division. The Lions are the early favorites to lead the NFC Central. The Raiders will surprise you occasionally, but this isn’t an ideal situation for Las Vegas, which is playing its second straight road game. The Lions have the Chargers up next and are coming off a game with the Ravens. That’s all that prevents Detroit from being an NFL Week 8 best bet in this game.
