Lines courtesy of BetMGM as of 10-28

Ravens vs. Browns odds

Lamar Jackson

Opening line

The Ravens held off Tampa Bay on Monday and got as high as 10.5-point road favorites at Cleveland, with the Browns’ quarterback situation in disarray. Jameis Winston is getting the start in Week 8 and we've seen buyback on the Browns down to as low as Cleveland +8. That has the total up from a look-ahead of 40.5 to 45.5 O/U on Sunday morning.

Colts vs. Texans odds

Joe Mixon

Opening line

The Texans opened between -5.5 and -6.5 hosting the Colts in an AFC South showdown in Week 8 but sharp support on the Colts has knocked this spread to as low as Houston -4.5. Indianapolis will have RB Jonathan Taylor back for this vital divisional game. The Over/Under opened between 46.5 and 47.5 and is down to as low as 45 O/U.

Weather

BACK TO TOP

Packers vs. Jaguars odds

Romeo Doubs

Opening line

The Jaguars finally got back in the win column with a victory over New England in Week 7's London game and now come back home as opening 4.5-point underdogs to Green Bay. Money has come in on the Jaguars, which has this spread as short as Packers -3.5. This total hit the board at 48 and jumped quickly to 49.5 points with play on the Over.

Weather

BACK TO TOP

Titans vs. Lions odds

David Montgomery

Opening line

After a huge win at Minnesota in Week 7, the Lions are laying one of the biggest spreads of the season. Detroit opened -11.5 at home to Tennessee in Week 8 and that spread has stayed there as we approach this 1 p.m. ET kickoff. This Over/Under total opened at 45.5 points and is down to 44.5 O/U..

Weather

BACK TO TOP

Falcons vs. Buccaneers odds

Baker Mayfield

Opening line

A short week has Tampa Bay sliding from +1.5 to +2.5 at home to Atlanta in Week 8. The Bucs are without top WRs Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (ankle) after those stars left Monday’s loss to Baltimore with injuries. The total is at 45.5 after the look-ahead was as high as 48.5 points.

Weather

BACK TO TOP

Jets vs. Patriots odds

Sauce Gardner

Opening line

Another week, another loss for the Jets. New York got bullied in Pittsburgh on Sunday night and now faces a must-win trip to New England. Oddsmakers installed Gang Green as 6.5-point road favorites with a total at 41.5 O/U. That line is now New York -7 with a total of 41. The Jets have cluster injuries on the offensive line and secondary heading into Week 8.

Weather

BACK TO TOP

Cardinals vs. Dolphins odds

Kyler Murray

Opening line

Arizona won a gritty game against the Chargers on a last-second field goal Monday night and are 4.5-point road underdogs on the short week, with Tua Tagovailoa expected back under center for the Dolphins in Week 8. The total is at 46 O/U after opening at 47.5..

Weather

BACK TO TOP

Eagles vs. Bengals odds

A.J. Brown

Opening line

The Eagles put in their best effort in a long time, thumping the rival Giants in Week 7. Philadelphia travels to Cincinnati, where books have bounced between Bengals -1.5 and -3 this week. The spread is currently Cincy -2.5 on Sunday morning. The total hit the board at 46.5 points and is as high as 48 O/U.

Weather

BACK TO TOP

Saints vs. Chargers odds

J.K. Dobbins

Opening line

The Chargers’ offense was a no-show on Monday with injuries to the receiving corps. Los Angeles comes home to host another injury-riddled offense, with the Saints missing plenty of skill players and likely going with rookie QB Spencer Ritter again. The Chargers are as big as 7-point home chalk with the total jumping from 39.5 O/U to 41 points.

Weather

BACK TO TOP

Bills vs. Seahawks odds

Ken Walker III

Opening line

Buffalo and Seattle are both coming off one-sided wins in Week 7, with the Bills opening between -2.5 and -3 on the road inside Lumen Field in Week 8. Buffalo is a -3 industry consensus on Sunday morning. This total opened as short as 47.5 and got up to 48.5 O/U but has since dropped to 45 with rain and wind in the forecast.

Weather

BACK TO TOP

Bears vs. Commanders odds

Caleb Williams

Opening line

A showdown between the top two QBs in the 2024 NFL Draft headlines Week 8, with Caleb Williams and the Bears facing Jayden Daniels and the Commanders — hopefully. Daniels left Week 7’s win over Carolina with a rib injury but signs point to him playing in Week 8. The Commanders opened as 1.5-point favorites but quickly moved to +3 with Daniels' status up in the air. As of Sunday morning, Washington is as low as +1. The Bears will be fresh, coming off the bye in Week 7. The total is at 45 O/U.

Weather

BACK TO TOP

Chiefs vs. Raiders odds

Patrick Mahomes

Opening line

The Chiefs stayed undefeated with an impressive defensive showing in San Francisco and opened laying 10 points on the road in Las Vegas. That spread is as short as Kansas City -8.5 on Sunday morning. The Raiders will have QB Gardner Minshew under center after Aiden O’Connell suffered a broken thumb in Week 7’s loss to L.A. The total opened around 42.5 points and is down to 41 O/U.

Weather

BACK TO TOP

Panthers vs. Broncos odds

Bo Nix

Opening line

The Broncos get a mini-bye after their big win in the Big Easy last Thursday. Denver opened as a 7.5-point favorite against the Panthers, who have lost their last three games by a combined score of 114-37. That spread jumped to -9.5 by mid-week and got as high as -11 with Carolina QB Andy Dalton injuring his hand in a car accident and leaving the Panthers to start struggling QB Bryce Young under center. This total hit the board at 43.5 points and dropped to 41 O/U.

Weather

BACK TO TOP

Cowboys vs. 49ers odds

Nick Bosa

Opening line

The 49ers got stung again by the Chiefs and will take out those frustrations on another rival, the Dallas Cowboys. This Sunday Night Football spread opened as short as San Francisco -5.5 with WRs Deebo Samuel leaving due to illness and Brandon Aiyuk suffering a knee injury in the Week 7 loss. Samuel and TE George Kittle are expected to play, but this spread is at 49ers -5.5 on gameday. The total opened at 47.5 points and is back at that number after drifting down to 47. Dallas is rested and coming off the bye, but will not have defensive star Micah Parsons back in action yet.
