Buccaneers vs. Bills odds

Opening line

The Bills don't have to wait long to rid of the taste of an upset loss to New England, getting the Bucs at home on Thursday Night Football. Buffalo opened as big as an 8-point favorite but that spread has slipped to -7.5 at some shops on Sunday night.

Texans vs. Panthers odds

Opening line

Both sides enjoyed a bye in Week 7 but only the Texans are likely looking forward to the rest of the season. Houston opened as a 3-point road favorite in Carolina — just the fourth time the Texans have laid the points on the road since 2019. The Panthers desperately needed the bye with injuries on both sides of the ball.

Rams vs. Cowboys odds

Opening line

Dallas was off this past week after winning a dud of a game vs. the other L.A. team in Week 6. The Rams lost a grinder against the Steelers this past weekend and opened as low as +5.5 before money pushed this spread as far as +6.5 at some sportsbooks.

Weather

Vikings vs. Packers odds

Opening line

The Vikings are coming off a really nice win on Monday Night Football, while the Packers' struggles continued in Week 7 with a 19-17 loss to the Denver Broncos. Oddsmakers opened the Packers as 1-point home favorites for this Sunday afternoon NFC North showdown. The total hit betting boards at 43.

Weather

Saints vs. Colts odds

Opening line

The look-ahead line has the Colts getting +1.5 but after the Saints' loss to Jacksonville last Thursday and Indianapolis taking the best defense in the league to the limit, this official Week 8 opener hit the board with the Colts at -1.5. Early play on the Over has moved this total as high as 42.5 points.

Weather

Patriots vs. Dolphins odds

Opening line

The Dolphins looked mediocre in a 31-17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football, while the Patriots pulled off a shocking 29-25 win over the visiting Buffalo Bills in Week 7. Can the Pats build off that big win last week? Oddsmakers don't think so, with the Dolphins opening as big 10.5-point home favorites and an opening total of 47.

Jets vs. Giants odds

Opening line

The Jets enjoyed a much-needed bye after a whirlwind start to the season and the Giants snapped their losing skid with an inspired effort against Washington at home in Week 7. Quarterback Daniel Jones is still questionable with a neck injury, setting up a possible QB controversy for this Battle of the Big Apple. The Jets opened -3 but could be moving to -3.5 with vig stacking up on the favorite.

Weather

Jaguars vs. Steelers odds

Opening line

This matchup opened with Jacksonville as short as a 1-point favorite at most books but didn't take long to move as high as -2 on Sunday night. The Jaguars have looked strong on both sides of the ball during their four-game winning streak while the Steelers are the ugliest 4-2 team in the NFL... maybe ever.

Weather

Falcons vs. Titans odds

Opening line

Tennessee is coming off a bye and it sounds like QB1 Ryan Tannehill is out for this Week 8 date. That would leave backup Malik Willis under center against a stingy Falcons defense. Atlanta squeaked out a win over rival Tampa Bay this past weekend and opened as a 1-point road favorite. The look-ahead total was 38.5 points but this number has slid to as low as 37 points on Sunday night. 

Weather

Eagles vs. Commanders odds

Opening line

The Eagles throttled the visiting Miami Dolphins, 31-17, on Sunday Night Football, while the struggling Commanders lost a 14-7 snooze-fest to the New York Giants in Week 7. Oddsmakers opened with the Eagles tabbed as 6.5-point road favorites and the opening total was set at 44.5.

Browns vs. Seahawks odds

Opening line

The health of Browns QB Deshaun Watson is once again giving bookies and bettors a headache, as he left Week 7 with a concussion and didn't return despite reportedly being clear to continue. This game is sitting between Seattle -2 and -3 across the industry, with those books opening at -2 and quickly moving up to -2.5.

Weather

Ravens vs. Cardinals odds

Opening line

The look-ahead line was Ravens -7.5 but after Baltimore bashed the Lions this past weekend, the official Week 8 opener sees Lamar & Co. laying -9 on the road. This spread is bouncing between -8 and -10 on Sunday night while the total opened as big as 45.5 before sharply dropping to 44 points.

Weather

Chiefs vs. Broncos odds

Opening line

These AFC West rivals played two weeks ago, with the Chiefs grinding out a 19-8 win to cover as 10.5-point home chalk. The Week 8 rematch in Colorado has the Broncos getting +8.5 with the total jumping from 45.5 to 46 points on Sunday night.

Weather

Bengals vs. 49ers odds

Opening line

The 49ers come into this Week 8 matchup off two consecutive losses, and welcome a Bengals side that is coming off a bye and seemingly healthy after a slow start to the season. This afternoon game shapes up as one of the highlights of the Week 8 schedule and opened with the Niners tabbed as 6-point home favorites. The total hit betting boards at 46.

Weather

BACK TO TOP

Bears vs. Chargers odds

Opening line

Los Angeles is laying nine points at home to Chicago and likely backup QB Tyson Bagent, who played well in relief of the injured Justin Fields in Sunday's win over the Raiders. The Chargers are coming off a bad loss at Arrowhead vs. the Chiefs, once again unable to stop their opponent from scoring. This total opened at 44 points and is now as high as 45 on Sunday night.

Raiders vs. Lions odds

Opening line

The Monday Night Football finale has the Lions licking their wounds off a one-sided beatdown from Baltimore in Week 7, laying -7.5 to the visiting Raiders. Las Vegas will have QB1 Jimmy Garoppolo back under center for Week 8 after suffering a bad loss in Chicago with backup Brian Hoyer running the offense.
