Playable to 48%.

Allen leads qualified Indianapolis receivers in targets per route run (27.8%) and first-read targets (23) since Week 3. Jacksonville's pass defense hasn't been great this season, either, ranking 14th in EPA/play allowed and 19th in success rate allowed.

Playable to 55%.

Tuten has received every rush attempt for Jacksonville inside the 10-yard line that has gone to the running back position this fall.

The Colts traded away star defensive tackle DeForest Buckner earlier this week, further weakening a defensive line that already ranked in the bottom-10 in most metrics against the run.

Receiving Yards
Tee Higgins logo Tee Higgins o66.5 Receiving Yards (-111)

Jason Logan logo
Jason Logan
Senior Betting Analyst

The Titans have problems giving up home runs over the top and Higgins is one the best deep threats in the land, averaging 21.6 air yards per reception and amassing eight catches for 20+ yards. Tennessee has also been burned by WR2s to start the season, rating 24th in DVOA vs. WR2s at FTN while giving up almost 56 yards per game to those second options. Most forecasts come in above 80 yards and my projection sits just shy of 81 yards receiving for Higgins.

Chase Brown logo Chase Brown Score a Touchdown (Yes: -120)

Jason Logan
Senior Betting Analyst

Even when Simmons was in the mix, Tennessee had allowed six scores to rival RBs. Brown has only one touchdown in 2026 despite 13 carries and three receptions in the red zone. Due that drought, we’re getting a discount on his ATTD market in Week 8. His TD forecasts range between 60% and 78%, given he’s a threat to run one in or catch a touchdown passes.

Sampson 10+ rushing yards looks too low. He ran for 45 yards on six carries in his return and nearly split snaps with Quinshon Judkins, suggesting Cleveland may be moving toward a true two-back rotation.

I recommend Hockenson finding the end zone up to 31% because he has garnered a solid 33.3% target share in the red zone and scored last week. The Lions have also surrendered a league-high 10 touchdowns to opposing tight ends, including yielding a score to the position in five of six games. Of course, Hockenson also ranks second in EPA per target among tight ends.

Passing Completions
Kyler Murray logo Kyler Murray o19.5 Passing Completions (-118)

This Over is in play up to 56% because Murray has a respectable 66.7 completion percentage and ranks sixth in completion percentage over expectation over the past five weeks. The Lions have also surrendered the second-most passing completion despite playing just six games, and Detroit has allowed the fifth-highest dropback success rate.

Jason Logan
Senior Betting Analyst

Sunday’s trip to Dallas is a pass-positive game script for the large road underdog and while QB Jacoby Brissett has fallen off a cliff, he faces a soft Cowboys secondary making all QBs look like Pro Bowlers (opponent passer rating of 105.2). Most of Wilson's Week 8 projections sit north of 60 yards with a ceiling of 70 yards receiving. My forecast comes out to 63+ yards,  buying back a market that was as high as 80+ just three games ago.

Anytime Touchdown
CeeDee Lamb logo CeeDee Lamb Score a Touchdown (Yes: +104)

Jason Logan logo
Jason Logan
Senior Betting Analyst

The Cardinals run one of the highest rates of zone coverage and Lamb is excellent at spotting seams in that defense. He’s not only a downfield threat but also a catch-and-run weapon, exploiting an Arizona defense giving up the seventh most yards after the catch. The Cardinals have given up 10 touchdowns to WRs (second most) and Lambs’ TD forecasts for Week 8 all sit at 60% or higher, with some projections at 80%.

This touchdown prop is in play up to 56% because the Raiders are committed to Jeanty, and he’s handled 67.7% of the red zone carries and 75% of the goal-line rushes this season. Jeanty has also found the end zone in consecutive games, and the Jets have surrendered seven touchdowns to running backs through seven games.

I recommend this Over up to 46.5 because the Raiders and Jets send out two of the worst defenses in the league. Las Vegas has allowed the highest offensive success rate while ranking 32nd in defensive DVOA over the past five weeks, and New York has been nearly as bad with respective 26th-ranked marks in the metrics during the same stretch.

Bills games average a league-high 61.33 combined points, and Buffalo comes off a bye leading the NFL in scoring, yards per play, and explosive play rate. Baltimore has allowed 30-plus points in three of its last five, but Lamar Jackson’s return should help it punch back against Buffalo’s 30th-ranked scoring defense. These teams combined for 81 points in a game last season. 

Rushing Yards

Going back to November 2024, Allen has rushed for at least 30 yards in nine of the previous 14 games with closing spreads of four points or shorter. He’s averaged more than 43 yards rushing in those contests. His Week 8 projections range from 29 yards to a ceiling of 40.5 yards rushing, with my number at 38.5 gains on the ground and giving plenty of respect to the higher forecasts.

I would back Stevenson to find the end zone up to 58% because he remians the clear No. 1 back and has handled 39.1% of New England's red-zone rushes, which includes seven carries inside the 20-yard line over the past three weeks. Stevenson has also found pay dirt in three of the past four games, and Miami has surrendered eight touchdowns to opposing running backs through six games while allowing the fifth-highest rushing success rate.

I recommend this Henry Over up to 41.5 receiving yards because Miami has allowed 29 receptions and a league-high 93.5% catch rate to tight ends over the past three weeks. Henry has also recorded 40 or more receiving yards in four straight while catching 19 of 21 targets for an average of 56.3 yards per game, and he ranks fifth in EPA per target and third in catch rate among tight ends for the year.

Both defenses rank inside the Top 10 in scoring, yards per play allowed, and opponent red-zone touchdown rate. Denver’s offense can’t move the ball consistently, ranking 27th in yards per play. It can’t extend drives, sitting 31st on third down. It also lacks big-play ability, ranking 28th in explosive play rate. Other than that, everything’s going great. These teams have played to seven straight Unders, while 17 of Kansas City’s last 21 divisional games stayed Under, averaging just 36.3 combined points.

I recommend this touchdown prop to 35% after Coleman handled a 49% snap share and sparked Denver to a fourth-ranked rushing DVOA in Week 7. Head coach Sean Payton is looking to give Coleman more touches, and veteran rusher J.K. Dobbins has dipped to just 3.2 yards per carry over the last three weeks. Coleman's high-end 0.12 EPA per rush and physical between-the-tackles style make him the best option for red-zone looks in the Denver backfield.

Jayden Daniels has found something with Chig Okonkwo, and there’s no reason to abandon it now. Okonkwo has produced 60 and 69 receiving yards in his last two games, drawing 13 targets. Terry McLaurin’s absence leaves more opportunities available against an Eagles team coming apart at the seams.

At 29%, I'll hit the button on Jayden Daniels to score a touchdown, as I make him closer to 36% to find the end zone against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football. Vic Fangio likes to play man coverage near the goal line to take away quick-hitting routes like slants and fades. With defenders focused on their assignments, Daniels has an opportunity to exploit the coverage, escape the pocket, and run his way into the end zone.

The Seahawks have held opposing quarterbacks under 180 net passing yards in every game this season, allowing an average of just 158 passing yards. Patrick Mahomes, Bo Nix, Drake Maye, Justin Herbert, and Brock Purdy all failed to reach 190 passing yards against a defense that ranks third in EPA per dropback. Those five quarterbacks finished an average of 46 yards below their closing passing totals. Caleb Williams projects for 216 passing yards, according to Covers' projections powered by THE BLITZ. That's the same output Mahomes managed last week in a losing effort, as the Chiefs failed to reach the red zone even once.

Let’s pick on this Bears pass defense. Chicago hasn’t faced many elite receivers this season, but now gets JSN on his home field. He’s reached 100 yards in six of seven games, averaging a ridiculous 123.8. The Bears rank dead last in yards allowed per pass attempt and have surrendered a league-high nine completions of 40-plus yards. 

View 15 Picks

For every matchup in an NFL season, our NFL computer produces selections for a variety of different betting angles. Our computer picks are based on a proprietary algorithm that values each team in the current week to produce moneyline, spread, and point total selections.

The table above, below the game picks, tracks our NFL computer's results over the last 100 games, outlining the record and profit for selections, based on $100 unit size. We track the profit based on both opening and closing lines for every matchup.

How to Use NFL Computer Picks

The easiest way to utilize our computer picks is to simply follow our selections for every matchup, what you'd call ailing the computer." But there are other ways to utilize our NFL computer picks, as well.

You can use our NFL computer as a jumping-off point to do more research into specific lines, cross-referencing with expert picks, which can be found above the selections for some matchups, recent NFL betting trends, and more.

As well, you can gauge the confidence of the matchup. The larger the projected score, the more confident the computer is in a specific pick.

Or, if you want to implement a system, betting only on underdogs, for example, you can look for matchups in which our computer likes the underdog to inform which picks you're going to hone in on for a given week.

We have these computer picks for every sport you're looking to wager on, as well:

Free Computer Picks by Odds Shark

Moneyline

NFL moneyline picks are the simplest way to get in on the NFL action. All you have to do is simply bet on which team you think will win the game.

For moneyline picks, the favorite is represented with a minus sign (-) in front of the odds, while the underdog has a plus (+). However, you don't get the same profit for picking an underdog compared to a favorite. If the favored team is -120, a $100 bet on them would pay out $80 in profit and $180 total, if they win the game. The underdog winning at +150 would pay out a $150 profit, $250 total.

We have a complete breakdown of how to read NFL moneyline odds for these NFL computer picks.

Spread

While moneyline picks are the simplest, picking NFL games against the spread is probably the most common wager for regular NFL bettors.

To bet an NFL spread, you wager on whether a team will win by a certain number of points or more or if they'll lose by fewer points than the spread. For example, if the spread is -6.5 for the New England Patriots, you would win the bet if they win the game by 7 points or more. Or if a team is +6.5, you're betting on if they'll win outright or lose by fewer than 6.5 points.

There is a correlation between moneyline odds and the spread, as books set these lines based on the same information.

You can read more about NFL spreads here.

Totals (Over/Under)

If you aren’t entirely sold on which NFL team will win or cover in an NFL game, you can still use our NFL computer picks to bet on the point total.

As opposed to taking a side, in total or Over/Under betting, you wager on whether both NFL teams will combine for a final score of more than (Over) or less than (Under) the total number of points set by oddsmakers.

The computer picks, and your handicapping of totals is more about how you think both teams will score points, not which team has the edge to win.
