NFL Week 8 features several intriguing matchups, with the undefeated Minnesota Vikings visiting the high-powered Detroit Lions as three-point underdogs, while the Cincinnati Bengals are heavy favorites against the Tennessee Titans. The Atlanta Falcons travel to Tampa Bay as slight underdogs despite a strong road record, and the Washington Commanders host the struggling Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night.
Vikings at Lions (-3)
The Lions, ranked second in total offense and scoring offense, are expected to hand the Vikings their first loss. Minnesota has scored the fewest touchdowns by a 6-0 team since 1934 and ranks 31st in offensive EPA. Detroit's defense allowed just 17 points to Green Bay last week, and Brian Branch returns to the lineup.
Titans at Bengals (-11.5)
Cincinnati's dynamic receiving duo of Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase combined for 210 yards and two touchdowns in Week 7. Tennessee's top cornerback Alontae Taylor has not played in two games, and the Titans average only 157.4 passing yards per game. The Bengals are projected to win 30-13.
Colts at Jaguars (-10)
Jacksonville is 10-1 straight up and against the spread in their last 11 home games, and 18-3-1 ATS in their last 22 against Indianapolis. The Colts traded away Pro Bowl guard Quenton Nelson and defensive lineman DeForest Buckner this week, creating locker-room uncertainty.
Falcons at Buccaneers (-2.5)
Atlanta has won two road games by 20+ points as underdogs and is 4-0 ATS in their last four road games against Tampa Bay. The Falcons rank fourth in rushing defense, allowing just 88.9 yards per game, which could neutralize Tampa Bay's ground attack.
Eagles at Commanders (-6)
Philadelphia has lost five straight, averaging the fewest total yards during a five-game skid since 1976. Washington, coming off a bye, covered the spread against San Francisco despite trailing 23-3. Jayden Daniels has not won an NFL game since October 2025.
Other notable picks include the Packers over the Panthers, Ravens over the Bills, Steelers over the Browns, Cowboys over the Cardinals, Raiders over the Jets, Rams over the Chargers, Patriots over the Dolphins, Broncos over the Chiefs, and Seahawks over the Bears.
