NFL Gambling – Week 8 Favorites

Minnesota Vikings at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Week 8 NFL Spread: Buccaneers -2.5

The Buccaneers have made strides to get better as they adjust to Lovie Smith’s system, and while they laid a big fat egg against the Ravens, there is reason to expect the team to fare better coming out of its bye, and it starts with the improved quarterback play they’ve received from Mike Glennon.

St. Louis Rams at Kansas City Chiefs
Week 8 NFL Spread: Chiefs -6

The Chiefs were all but written off after Week 1 when they lost to the Titans, but they’ve been solid since then, picking up some good wins and keeping close to good teams on the road in their only two blemishes. Know they get a Rams team coming off of what was effectively their Super Bowl which is in for a letdown.

Baltimore Ravens at Cincinnati Bengals
Week 8 NFL Spread: Bengals -1

The Bengals have their backs against the wall and will surely come out fighting when these teams meet in Cincinnati on Sunday. The Bengals took down the first meeting between these teams in Week 1 and enjoy one of the best home field advantages in football.

Philadelphia Eagles at Arizona Cardinals
Week 8 NFL Spread: Cardinals -2.5

The Cardinals have been one of the best teams in football, even though they’ve done so by flying under the radar. As for the Eagles, they get this game out of a bye but didn’t look impressive to open the season despite what their record indicates, having been ultra-reliant on defensive and special teams touchdowns.

Oakland Raiders at Cleveland Browns
Week 8 NFL Spread: Browns -7

The Raiders put everything they had into last weekend’s game against the Arizona Cardinals which figures to mean Sunday’s game will be a tricky one to navigate or them. The Browns are coming off a disappointing performance against the Jaguars but looked solid prior to that contest.

NFL Gambling – Week 8 Underdogs

San Diego Chargers at Denver Broncos
Week 8 NFL Spread: Chargers +7.5

[dfads params=’groups=66501&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

Few teams have given the Broncos trouble like the Chargers have in recent years. San Diego was clearly guilty of looking ahead a week ago and now looks to make good on that.

Detroit Lions at Atlanta Falcons
Week 8 NFL Spread: Falcons +3.5

For as far as the Falcons have fall, they are getting this one at home. While they’ll again struggle to keep Matt Ryan upright, particularly against the fierce pass rush of the Lions, they have the weapons to score points through the air. The Lions’ offense has looked atrocious without Calvin Johnson.

Miami Dolphins at Jacksonville Jaguars
Week 8 NFL Spread: Jaguars +5

The underdog in Dolphins games has been very profitable to bettors, as the Dolphins have done a great job in the underdog role themselves while failing to take care of business themselves. The Jaguars enter with plenty of momentum coming off their first win of the season.

[dfads params=’groups=63752&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

Green Bay Packers at New Orleans Saints
Week 8 NFL Spread: Packers +1.5

The Saints finally return home but find themselves going up against Aaron Rodgers, who loves to play indoors himself. Both teams should put up plenty of points in this one, but the Saints are limited with regards to their offensive weapons at the moment and that figures to be the difference.

Washington Redskins at Dallas Cowboys
Week 8 NFL Spread: Redskins +9.5

While it’s looking more and more like the Cowboys have turned the corner every week, there’s still just something about seeing the team in the role of a favorite that’s disconcerting. Getting a division rival, maybe their biggest rival, at home on a Monday night is a tricky spot.
