Week 8 NFL Football is here, and we’ve got an exciting matchup as the surging Detroit Lions take on a Tennessee Titans team that’s hit rock bottom. The Lions, riding high at 5-1, have been covering spreads like a machine—7-1 ATS in their last eight games.
On the flip side, the Titans have all but packed it in, trading away key players like DeAndre Hopkins and LB Ernest Jones, and sitting at a dismal 1-5.

The Titans also had the edge vs. the spread in these games, at 3-0.

4* Free Week 8 NFL Betting Prediction: Detroit -11
Detroit is on a four-game tear and playing inspired football under Jared Goff, who looks like an MVP contender. The Lions have been dominating both sides of the ball, and let’s not forget they’ve covered four of their last five against AFC teams.
At -11 on the spread, Detroit is the heavy favorite, and for good reason. Tennessee has been a disaster on the road, going 2-12 SU in their last 14 away games.
With the point spread sitting at 11 in favor of the Titans, we are going to take the Lions to cover as our best bet vs. the spread.
Our projected final score is 35-14 in favor of the Lions, making them our pick to cover at home.
For the over/under, we have a slight lean towards the over, with a projected combined score of 49 points, just edging out the O/U line of 45.5.
The Lions are a well-oiled machine, and with the Titans waving the white flag by stacking up draft picks, this looks like a prime opportunity for Detroit to run away with it. That 35-14 prediction doesn’t feel far off; the Lions should cruise to an easy cover here at Ford Field.
Expect some fireworks from Goff and a total domination of a Titans team that’s ready to fast-forward to next season.
