1 minggu yang lalu

It was a unsmooth Week 7 for nan sportsbooks successful Vegas, pinch bettors receiving nan cleanable large wind of bad teams getting crushed astatine nan aforesaid time.

The Raiders, Dolphins, Titans, Jets and Saints each played astatine 1 p.m. ET connected Sunday and mislaid by a mixed people of 132–39. The oddsmakers mislaid much money later that time because each nan overs deed successful nan precocious day window.

There’s a chance a cleanable large wind hits again for Week 8. The Dolphins (+7.5 astatine Falcons), Bears (+6.5 astatine Ravens), Panthers (+7.5 vs. Bills), Jets (+6.5 astatine Bengals), Browns (+7 astatine Patriots) and Giants (+7.5 astatine Eagles) are each touchdown underdogs and they’re each kicking disconnected astatine 1 p.m. ET Sunday. The only crippled successful nan early model without a lopsided dispersed is nan Texans hosting nan 49ers arsenic a 1.5-point favorite.

“We’re going to beryllium immense Jets fans, immense Bears fans, immense Dolphins fans, immense Panthers fans, immense Giants fans and immense Browns fans,” says Chuck Esposito, nan title and sports head for Station Casinos. “I deliberation pinch each those games sitting astir that touchdown, those are each going to beryllium underdogs that we will request travel Sunday.”

These will each apt beryllium liability games for nan sportsbooks successful Vegas. But earlier bettors get excessively assured and parlay each nan dense favorites successful nan early window, it’s uncommon erstwhile lighting hits successful back-to-back weeks.

It’s not a fixed that nan Ravens will return to their ascendant ways conscionable because Lamar Jackson is backmost connected nan field. Jackson doesn’t play some ways and this Baltimore defense needs each nan thief it tin get. The Bears, who are connected a four-game winning streak, tin tally nan shot pinch D’Andre Swift and nan Chicago defense has a league-high 16 takeaways.

But Esposito isn’t expecting bettors to attraction connected nan Bears’ positives arsenic of precocious because they were fortunate to hit nan Commanders connected Jayden Daniels’s fumble successful Week 6 and Caleb Williams struggled arsenic a passer against nan Saints past week. Also, location hadn’t been overmuch crisp action connected Chicago, arsenic of precocious Wednesday.

“I deliberation if he’s [Jackson] in, I deliberation there’s a existent chance this crippled will spell to 7,” Esposito says.

As for different buyer-beware games, nan surging Patriots mightiness get punched successful nan rima a fewer times by nan Browns’ physicality. They play reliable defense and person bruising rookie moving backmost Quinshon Judkins. And it’s reliable to spot nan Bengals’ shaky defense to screen that ample of a dispersed vs. a hopeless Jets squad that will scratch and claw successful hopes of winning their first crippled of nan season.

With much penetration from Esposito, here’s everything you request to cognize betting wise astir NFL Week 8.

There’s astatine slightest 1 large canine that nan sharps are backing this week.

Esposito said nan sharps person shown support for nan Panthers, causing nan statement to driblet from 8 to 7.5 points.

“We’ve seen a small crisp money connected nan Panthers, but my conjecture is that nan nationalist is intelligibly going to beryllium connected nan Bills this week,” Esposito says.

The Bills entered their bye week licking their wounds from a two-game losing streak against nan Patriots and Falcons. Also, Buffalo didn’t screen ample spreads vs. New Orleans and Miami, and hasn’t covered since Week 2 against nan Jets.

Don’t underestimate this pesky Panthers squad, which is 3–0 astatine home.

Odds Movement NFL Week 8

Most of nan action has been connected nan Chargers to screen against nan Vikings for Thursday Night Football. Los Angeles is laying 3.5 points aft starting nan week arsenic three-point favorites.

“I’m personally not sold connected [Carson] Wentz astatine quarterback,” Esposito says. “I deliberation he still makes a batch of mistakes. That was a very winnable crippled against nan Eagles past week that they lost. We’ve seen this number spell up from 3 to 3.5. Big crippled for some teams.”

Esposito is expecting Cowboys astatine Broncos to return astir of nan money connected Sunday. As of Wednesday, astir of nan bets were connected nan Broncos, who went from three-point favorites to laying 3.5 points.

Speaking of nan Cowboys, a customer astatine Caesars sportsbooks won a $330,000 stake acknowledgment to Dallas covering arsenic 1.5-point favorites against Washington. As for different large stake triumph astatine Caesars sportsbooks, personification placed $275,000 connected nan Browns to screen arsenic 2.5-point favorites against nan Dolphins.

Manzano’s NFL Week 8 Betting Tips

*Betting lines from DraftKings Sportsbook

Buck nan trend: Vikings (+3.5) astatine Chargers

Esposito said astir of nan money is connected nan Chargers, but I’m going nan different measurement for Thursday Night Football. I can’t spot this unspeakable L.A. violative statement to clasp up against Brian Flores’s defense, moreover pinch a imaginable return of near tackle Joe Alt.

Also, nan Chargers can’t tally nan shot nor extremity nan run. It won’t beryllium easy, but I’d alternatively sweat pinch nan Wentz–led Vikings.

Enticing Bet: Cowboys (+3.5) astatine Broncos

I’m looking guardant to seeing whether Bo Nix & Co. tin bent pinch nan Cowboys’ offense. There’s been excessively overmuch praise connected nan Broncos’ defense, pinch galore overlooking really poorly they played against nan Giants past week.

Dak Prescott & Co. tin people against immoderate defense successful nan league.

Moneyline Dog: Bears (+235) astatine Ravens

I can’t get complete really poorly nan Ravens played earlier nan bye week. Even pinch a patient Jackson, this squad struggled to bent pinch nan Lions, Bills and Chiefs. I’m not saying nan Bears are arsenic bully arsenic those teams, but they person a chance successful Baltimore because of their productive rushing attack. It’s been much of nan Swift show than nan Williams show.

SuperDog: Browns (+7) astatine Patriots

This young Patriots squad hasn’t been tested by a beingness defense. New England has beaten Tennessee, New Orleans, Buffalo and Carolina during this four-game winning streak.

The physicality will summation against Myles Garrett’s defense. The Browns aren’t a very bully team, but they tin take sides and tally nan football. This will beryllium a bully situation for Drake Maye.

Not So Risky: Steelers (+3) vs. Packers

Expect Aaron Rodgers’s champion against his erstwhile team. Pittsburgh will play astatine location connected 10 days of rest. Also, Green Bay hasn’t covered since Week 2 vs. Washington.

Stay Away: Falcons (-7.5) vs. Dolphins

I can’t spot nan Falcons to screen this large of a spread, moreover against nan struggling Dolphins. Atlanta delivered a dud past week successful San Francisco.

Parlay: Panthers (+7) vs. Bills; Eagles (-7.5) vs. Giants; Buccaneers (-4.5) astatine Saints

Just a reminder, I deed connected my parlay proposal past week. I’m ever going to brag whenever I get a parlay right. I’ll backmost 2 dense favorites here. The Buccaneers should bounce backmost vs. nan mediocre Saints. And nan Eagles will look to crush nan young Giants aft their rookies embarrassed them a fewer weeks back.

Favorite Fave: Colts (-14) vs. Titans

I person nary issues pinch laying 2 touchdowns pinch nan red-hot Colts. This squad knows really to grip business, going 5–2 against nan dispersed to commencement nan season.
