Bettors jump on Saints' opening odds for NFL Week 8 clash vs. Vikings
Patrick Everson

With only the Monday night game remaining in NFL Week 7, it’s time to jump ahead to some intriguing matchups in Week 8. We check in on the opening lines and early action for four such contests, with insights from John Murray, director of The SuperBook at the Westgate.

New Orleans Saints at Minnesota Vikings (-2.5)

This is a rematch of an NFC divisional playoff game from last season, won by Minnesota on a wild play in the waning seconds. The Vikings (4-2-1 SU and ATS) head into this contest on a three-game win streak (2-0-1 ATS), routing the New York Jets 37-17 as 3.5-point road favorites in Week 7.

New Orleans got a win by the width of the goal post in Week 7 for its fifth consecutive victory and fourth straight cover. The Saints (5-1 SU, 4-2 ATS) gave up a last-minute touchdown at Baltimore, but the kick failed as they escaped with a 24-23 victory as 2.5-point underdogs.

“This looks like the best game of the week, and it’s a rematch of the Minneapolis Miracle game in last season’s playoffs,” Murray said Sunday evening. “There should be a lot of two-way action on this game.”

The SuperBook saw immediate play on New Orleans, knocking the line down to Minnesota -1.5 Sunday evening.

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (+2.5)

Defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia is struggling mightily to find its way this season, and now has to travel to London in an effort to get right. The Eagles (3-4 SU, 2-5 ATS) blew a 17-0 fourth-quarter lead in Week 7, losing to Carolina 21-17 as 5-point home faves.

Jacksonville reached the AFC Championship Game last season, but much like Philly is failing to impress this year. The Jaguars (3-4 SU and ATS) were 3.5-point Week 7 home favorites against Houston and mounted very little offense in a 20-7 loss.

“We opened it Eagles -2.5 and had a respected player bet it right away, so we moved to -3 even money,” Murray said. “Jacksonville is a mess right now on offense.”

Green Bay Packers at Los Angeles Rams (-8.5)

Los Angeles is the lone unbeaten team in the NFL, riding its high-octane offense to a 7-0 SU mark (4-3 ATS). The Rams went to San Francisco as 8-point chalk in Week 7, bolted out to a 22-0 lead and won 39-10.

Green Bay enters this contest off a bye week, after climbing above .500. The Packers (3-2-1 SU, 2-4 ATS) got far more of a game from San Francisco than they expected in Week 6, but pulled out a 33-30 win laying 9 points at home in the Week 6 Monday nighter.

“The Rams are now 7-0 and rolled to the cover as huge favorite in San Francisco. Green Bay will be coming in off their bye week,” Murray said. “The Packers’ defense made C.J. Beathard look good last Monday. I have to think the Rams will have a lot of success offensively.”

Los Angeles money took this line up a full point to 9.5 for a few minutes Sunday night, before it ticked back to 9.

Denver Broncos at Kansas City Chiefs (-9)

Kansas City already played and beat Denver on the road in a tightly contested Week 4 Monday nighter, and Andy Reid’s squad continues to prove it’s among the best in the AFC. The Chiefs (6-1 SU, 7-0 ATS) bounced back from a shootout loss at New England by plastering Cincinnati 45-10 giving 6.5 points in the Week 7 Sunday nighter.

Denver comes into this AFC West clash with a little bit more rest, having played in the Thursday night game. In that contest, the Broncos (3-4 SU, 2-4-1 ATS) halted a four-game slide by steamrolling Arizona 45-10 laying 1 point on the road.

“Denver will have three extra days to prepare for this game, after its Thursday night win over the Cardinals,” Murray said. “The Broncos may have saved Vance Joseph’s job with that win. I’m not sure that’s a good thing if you’re a Broncos fan.”

The Broncos-Chiefs line was still at 9 when the Bengals-Chiefs game started, at which point the line was taken off the board, which is standard operating procedure at The SuperBook for teams in the Sunday night game. The line will be rehung Monday morning.

Opening Line Report - Week 8
Joe Williams

The results from NFL Week 7 were unbelievable, with several sides, moneyline results and totals decided by a single play or decision. That happens sometimes, but not multiple times in a single day, or even within the span of a few minutes.

The jewel of the Week 8 schedule appears to be the NFC Divisional Round playoff rematch between the Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints. The Saints were one of the teams benefiting from a fortitous situation involving a kicker. There were a ton of bad beats in Week 7, but then again there were also a bunch of people who were on the winning side, too. Hopefully you were one of the fortunate.

Four more teams are resting their bumps and bruises on their bye week, and we'll have a second London game at 9:30 am ET. The Jacksonville Jaguars and Philadelphia Eagles go across the pond in search of a much-needed win. Desperation might cause this one to be a pretty good battle.

(Odds as of Tuesday)

Thursday, Oct. 25

Miami Dolphins at Houston Texans (-7.5, 44.5)

It's already time for the Brock Osweiler revenge game? 'Brocktober' rolls on and he'll face his former team in Houston. OK, it's not exactly Joe Montana returning to face the 49ers as a member of the Chiefs in 1994, but anyway. This line opened anywhere from -7 to -7 1/2 depending on the shop. Southpoint and Treasure Island are among the books you can go if you really like the Texans and don't want to lay the hook, but act quickly.


Sunday, Oct. 28

Philadelphia Eagles (-3, 41.5) vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jags are in their second 'home', playing overseas in London in the morning game. Both of these teams desperately need a win, as each of the Super Bowl contenders from the preseason arrive in England's capital city with a 3-4 record. Vegas likes the defending champs, as they opened as a field-gial fave at most shops, and Caesars/Harrah's has it up to -3 1/2. If you're feeling the Eagles and want a bargain, Mirage-MGM had it down to -2 1/2 as of early Monday evening from an open of -3.

Cleveland Browns at Pittsburgh Steelers (-8, 51)

These two sides met in Week 1 on the shores of Lake Erie, and they decided nothing in a 21-21 tie to open the season. Cleveland has posted a 3-0-1 ATS mark over the past four meetings in this series. The Browns have been involved in four overtime games, including Week 1 obviously, in their seven battles. Pittsburgh is coming off a bye, and the public is feeling the Steelers at home. The line opened at -7 1/2 at most shops and rose to -8 at Atlantis, Jerry's Nugget, Southpoint and Stratosphere.

Denver Broncos at Kansas City Chiefs (-10, 55)

These teams met in a Monday nighter earlier this season, with Kansas City winning 27-23 on a -3 1/2-point line. They opened as 10-point favorites everywhere except for -9 at Westgate Superbook, while Mirage-MGM opened the Chiefs as high as -10 1/2.

New York Jets at Chicago Bears (-7, 46)

The Jets were routed at home by an NFC North team last week, while the Bears came up a yard short at home on a near miracle to at least tie their game against an AFC East foe and perhaps force overtime. TI opened htis game at -6, and most other shops opened it at -6.5, and the money has been on the home side, driving the Bears up to -7 at most books.

Washington Redskins (-1, 42) at New York Giants

The 'Skins squeaked by the Cowboys on a missed field goal off the upright, while the Giants scratched back for a backdoor, raw bad beat cover in the ATL on Monday night, losing 23-20. While the books give the slight edge to the first-place Redskins, the home team is 5-2 ATS in the past seven in this series. The 'under' is also 12-3 in the past 15 meetings in metro NYC.

Seattle Seahawks at Detroit Lions (-3, 49.5)

A pair of .500 clubs hook up in the Motor City, and the public is feeling the home side. Detroit opened at -2 1/2 at Coasts, Golden Nugget, Mirage-MGM, the Strat and Wynn, among others, but it's up to the Lions -3 nearly across the board. TI opened the game at -2 and you can still catch the home side at -2 1/2 if you hurry.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Cincinnati Bengals (-4.5, 54)

The Buccaneers snuck by the Browns in OT, while the Bengals were emasculated in K.C. by the Chiefs. The Bengals opened at -6 on Monday afternoon, but the money has streamed in on the underdog, dropping the Bengals to -4 1/2 at Atlantis, Coasts, the Strat, Westgate and Wynn. There are still a few places you can catch the Bucs with five still, but no one appears to be buying the home side.

Baltimore Ravens (-2, 43) at Carolina Panthers

This is a curious line, as the Ravens fell at home on a missed extra point in the final minute of regulation, while the Panthers won a road game against the defending champs in miraculous comeback fashion. Baltimore opened as a Pick 'em at Westgate, and quickly rose to Ravens -1 1/2. Mirage-MGM, Stations and Wynn has the Ravens all the way up to -2. It's likely the public weighs in and drops this line back down, backing the home side, but we'll see. The sharps are likely a bounce-back for the boys from Charm City after a Week 7 gut punch.

Indianapolis Colts (-3, 50) at Oakland Raiders

The Colts blasted league punching bag Buffalo, while the Raiders are careening out of control and they just traded WR Amari Cooper to the Dallas Cowboys. Indy opened at -1 1/2 at most shops and were quickly bet up to -3 at nearly all shops. Jerry's Nugget and TI still had Indy at -2 1/2 as of early Tuesday morning, but you better act quickly if you like the road side.

San Francisco 49ers (at Arizona Cardinals (PK, 43)

These teams just met a few weeks ago in San Francisco, and it was rookie QB Josh Rosen and the Cards coming away with the a victory, 28-18. San Francisco has posted a 5-2 ATS mark in their past seven on the road, and they're 7-3 ATS in the past 10 inside the NFC West. They have also covered nine of their past 12 trips to Arizona. This game is listed as a pick 'em mostly across the board, although Coasts and Jerry's Nugget had the game with the Cards -1. Expect movement in this one.

Green Bay Packers at Los Angeles Rams (-9, 57)

The Golden Nugget opened the Rams at -9 1/2, and the line dropped to -9 in the matter of three hours on Monday evening. Most every shop has this game with the home side laying the nine, except for TI, which had the line down to -8 1/2. The Packers are coming off their bye week, so they will enter the game well rested.

New Orleans Saints at Minnesota Vikings (-1, 53)

It's a rematch of a playoff game last season which was won in miraculous fashion on the final play of the game. Case Keenum isn't walking through that door, though, although Kirk Cousins is likely an upgrade. The money has been on the Saints, as the line was driven down from -1 1/2 to a Pick 'em at Stations. Westgate opened the Vikings at -2 1/2, and it's down to -1 as of the overnight Tuesday. Early bettors just aren't feeling the home side in this one.


Monday, Oct. 29

New England Patriots (-13.5) at Buffalo Bills

The Patriots usually dominate the Bills, but Buffalo is a solid 2-0 ATS as a double-digit 'dog this season, including an outright win in Week 3 at Minnesota. The 'under' has connected in five in a row for Buffalo, too.

It hasn't matter in early betting, as the line pushed up from -13 1/2 to -14 at Atlantis, while going from -13 to -14 at the Strat. If you're feeling the Pats and do not want to lay the full two TDs, TI and Wynn still had it listed at -13 1/2 heading into the overnight on Tuesday. The total has held steady at 44 1/2 at most shops.

COWBOYS GRAB COOPER

The Oakland Raiders continued their roster overhaul by sending receiver Amari Cooper to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a first-round pick — and we must say that is an impressive move by the Raiders for someone as inconsistent as Cooper. The Cowboys have a bye in Week 8 while the Raiders host the Colts. The line opened at Raiders +2 and ticked to +3 after the trade announcement.

This move is a clear signal to the rest of the team that the Raiders are officially tanking and there are already reports of an unhappy locker room as players learned of the trade via their phones and not from Jon Gruden or management. It’s fair to question how motivated the team is going to be coming out of its bye week — in fact, lineman Jonathan Feliciano summed things up perfectly with this tweet. We’re not going anywhere near the Raiders in Week 8 and we’re actually going to grab the Colts at minus-3 before the line gets bigger.


LYNCH TO IR

The Raiders dominated NFL headlines on Monday as news also broke that running back Marshawn Lynch has been sent to injured reserve with groin and core-muscle injuries. The loss of Lynch and Cooper means that the Raiders are down their two most talented offensive playmakers. Oakland moves forward with Doug Martin and Jalen Richard at running back and with Jordy Nelson and Martavis Bryant at wide receiver.

It’s tough to say exactly how the Raiders offense will play out with touches at running back and targets at receiver, so we’re looking to the tight end position for a Week 8 bet. Jared Cook is actually the team leader in targets so far this season with 43, despite receiving just two in Oakland’s last game against Seattle. Cook is Oakland’s top receiving threat and that’s even more true with Cooper out of town. We’re confident that Gruden and Derek Carr will realize that two targets to Cook was a mistake and will fix it this week against the Colts. We’re backing the Over for his receptions total.


BACK TO (LONDON) BORTLES

Jacksonville coach Doug Marrone announced on Monday that Blake Bortles will start in Week 8 as the Jags “host” the Eagles in London. Bortles was benched early in the third quarter of Sunday’s loss to Houston as Cody Kessler came on in relief. Just like most of his career, inconsistency is killing Bortles this season: He has two games with a QB rating over 110, five games under 73, and nothing in between.

On paper, it looks like Bortles is going to be in tough on Sunday against a physical Eagles defense, but Bortles does have a few things going for him. First, teams have been moving the ball through the air against the Eagles to the tune of 269.7 yards per game. Second, Bortles has been great in London over the years, with a 3-0 record, an 8:1 touchdown-to-interception ratio and has led the Jags to an average of 36 points per game. Last season, Bortles threw for 244 yards and four touchdowns on 20 of 31 passing in London against Baltimore.

Bortles has been horrible this season, but he’s also shown an ability to bounce back from awfulness throughout his career. We’re hoping London Bortles shows up this week at Wembley and we’re going with the Over on his passing yards total.


BILLS STICKING WITH ANDERSON

The Buffalo Bills are sticking with Derek Anderson in Week 8, even though he threw for just 175 yards on 31 attempts and turned the ball over four times in leading the offense to a single field goal. The sad fact of the matter is that the 35-year-old who wasn’t playing football two weeks ago and barely knows the team’s offense is a better option than Nathan “Pick Six” Peterman.

In Week 8, the Bills host the Patriots as a 13.5-point home underdog on Monday Night Football. Last week, we backed a winner with the Bills team total Under 16.5 and we don’t see any other way to bet this game — especially with LeSean McCoy still in the concussion protocol. The Bills stink and we’re fading them until further notice by taking the Under on their team total.


THE RAMS JUST ROLL

The L.A. Rams’ offense is simply ridiculous. After putting up 39 against the hapless 49ers on Sunday, the Rams have now scored 33-plus points in six of seven games on the season. In fact, the Rams have scored 30 or more points in 15 of 23 games with Sean McVay as head coach.

In Week 8, the Rams host the Green Bay Packers and a defense that allowed C.J. Beathard and the Niners to move the ball with ease en route to scoring 30 points the last time they were on the field. The Packers defense has only been good in one game this season and that was when it shut out the Bills. If you don’t include that game, Green Bay is allowing 28.8 points against per game. On the road, it has been even worse, giving up 31 points at both Washington and Detroit. The Rams shouldn’t have any issues getting north of 30 once again this week and we’re taking the Over on their team total.

[StarDust Bum]

NFL Week 7 was loaded with prime-time bad beats (or backdoor covers depending on your perspective).

The big winners of the week were road teams:

Road Teams: 11-3 ATS (52-53-2 ATS on the season)
Road Favorites: 5-1 ATS (15-19 ATS)
Road Underdogs: 6-2 ATS (37-34-2 ATS)

G-MEN TANKING TOO?

On Monday it became clear that the Oakland Raiders are tanking and on Tuesday the New York Giants joined them, trading away cornerback Eli Apple to New Orleans and defensive lineman Damon “Snacks” Harrison to the Lions. There are also reports that the G-Men are actively shopping cornerback Janoris Jenkins. One thing the Giants won’t be doing, however, is benching their quarterback as coach Pat Shurmur confirmed that Eli Manning will continue as the starter.

Manning is coming off his best game of the season where he threw for 399 yards and a touchdown on 27-of-38 passing against the Falcons on Monday night. A couple things to note about Eli, however. It was just the second time he broke the 300-yard mark this season and it was against the 29th-ranked team in pass defense DVOA. Manning and the Giants host Washington in Week 8 and a defense that is ranked 13th in pass defense DVOA and that is giving up 238.3 passing yards against per game. One reason for this is that Washington usually wins the time-of-possession battle, holding the ball for 32:15 per game, the second-highest mark in the league. We see Manning having one of his signature dud games on Sunday and we’re taking the Under on his passing yards total.


PACKERS GETTING REINFORCEMENTS

Green Bay is getting healthier coming out of its bye as receivers Randall Cobb and Geronimo Allison both practiced on Tuesday and are on track to face the Rams on Sunday. This is good news for Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense and it will hopefully open up some additional space for tight end Jimmy Graham.

We got a winner by fading the Rams’ ability to cover tight ends by backing George Kittle to go over 4.5 receptions last week and we’re employing a similar strategy this week. L.A.’s opponents are targeting their tight ends on almost 25 percent of their passes. Graham has 20 total targets over his last two games and turned them into stat lines of 6-76 and 5-104. All the injuries at receiver helped force a chemistry between Rodgers and Graham and we expect the two to connect often on Sunday in a game that’s looking like a shootout with a total of 56. We’re backing the Over on Graham’s receptions total.


BACK TO UZOMAH

Sometimes things just don’t make sense in the sports world. In Week 7, Bengals tight end C.J. Uzomah played 57-of-59 snaps in a game where Cincy got blown out — that’s usually the perfect recipe to pad the receiving stats. But Andy Dalton made just 29 pass attempts in the 45-10 blowout and it resulted in just two targets for Uzomah and a stat line of 2-13-1.

This week, the Bengals host Tampa Bay and we expect a bounce-back performance from Uzomah, especially with news that receiver John Ross is out for a few weeks. The Buccaneers are amongst the worst teams at covering tight ends, having given up 40 catches for 538 yards and four touchdowns on 50 targets, including a stat line of 4-52-1 to Browns tight end David Njoku last week. This same bet wasn't a winner last week, but we like its chances this week and we’re going with the Over for Uzomah’s receptions total.


CONNER’S RUN CONTINUES

Le’Veon Bell still hasn’t reported to the Steelers, which means James Conner will again be the bell cow as Pittsburgh comes out of its bye to host Cleveland. If you look purely at stats, it’s easy to see how opponents should game plan against the Browns as Cleveland’s defense ranks first in pass defense DVOA but 25th in run defense DVOA. This bodes well for Conner, who has 40 total carries over his last two games. The Browns have also given up 10 rushing touchdowns on the season, second-worst in the NFL. This also bodes well for Conner, who has nine red-zone carries and four rushing touchdowns over his last two games. Conner is lined up to have another huge game on Sunday and we’re backing him to score a touchdown at any time.


MACK ATTACK

The Indianapolis Colts seem to have found their man at running back as Marlon Mack has completely taken control of the backfield, with 34 touches and 61 snaps over the last two games (to Nyheim Hines’ 11 and 47). Mack was dominant against the Bills last week, rushing for 126 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries and adding two catches for 33 yards and another score.

On Sunday, Mack and the Colts head to Oakland to take on the train wreck that is the Raiders and a defensive unit that is giving up 131.8 rushing yards per game, sixth-worst in the NFL. We noted yesterday that we’re fading Oakland this week. We like the idea of Indianapolis putting up another big offensive number this week and if they do, Mack will be a big part of it. We’re taking the Over on his rushing yards total and backing him to score a touchdown at any time.

Ugly Dogs - Week 8
October 24, 2018
By BetDSI

By Tom Wilkinson

NFL Week 8 Ugly Dogs

If you want to win money betting NFL games then you need to go against the grain. One of the ways to do that is to take teams that no one else wants to bet. I call them ugly dogs and last week those ugly dogs went 2-2 against the spread and in the last three weeks they are 11-3 ATS. We have three plays for this week that we’ll be backing and taking the points.

This is a bit of a strange week, as two of the worst teams in the NFL are playing each other, as the 49ers battle the Cardinals, so we don’t have as many ugly dogs as normal. Let’s look at the Week 8 ugly dog picks.

Check out the latest Week 8 NFL odds at BetDSI

Oakland Raiders +3 vs. Indianapolis Colts

The Raiders under head coach Jon Gruden are a mess right now. The Raiders gave him a ridiculous amount of money and a 10-year contract, so he is not going anywhere. Gruden has decided that the many of the players he inherited are not any good, so he is starting to get rid of them. The Raiders traded Amari Cooper this week to the Dallas Cowboys and they got a first round pick in the deal. The Raiders come into this game with a record of 1-5 SU and they are just 2-4 ATS. There is not much to like about the Raiders, as they are averaging just 18.3 points per game and giving up 29.3 points per contest.

The Colts are not much better than the Raiders at 2-5 SU and 3-4 ATS, but at least Indianapolis has looked pretty good on offense with Andrew Luck at quarterback. The Colts are scoring 27 points per game, while they are giving up just over 26 points per game. The Raiders are definitely ugly right now and appear to be in disarray, so we’ll take them plus the points as an ugly dog.

Denver Broncos +10 at Kansas City Chiefs

The Broncos have won three games this season, but two of those wins were against Oakland and Arizona, so it is hard to get too excited about what they have done. They come into this game at 3-4 SU and 2-4-1 ATS. The Broncos are scoring just about 23 points per game and giving up 23 per contest. They fit the ugly dog category this week because they are going into Arrowhead and facing the powerful Chiefs.

The way Kansas City is playing you can almost put any team facing the Chiefs as an ugly dog. The Chiefs are 6-1 SU and a perfect 7-0 ATS. They are averaging 37.1 points per game to lead the league and giving up about 26 per contest. We’ll take the big points and go with the Broncos as an ugly dog.

Buffalo Bills +14 vs. New England Patriots

There is no question that the ugliest dog in Week 8 is the Buffalo Bills who are hosting the Patriots on Monday night. The Bills are still without quarterback Josh Allen so they are stuck with Derek Anderson and Nathan Peterman. Anderson wasn’t even playing for any team but the Bills picked him up and he started last week against the Colts. It was ugly, as he was 20-of-31 for 175 yards with three interceptions. The Colts destroyed the Bills last week, winning 37-5. Buffalo is scoring a pathetic 11.6 points per game, last in the NFL, while they are giving up 25 points per contest.

On the other side, the Patriots are 5-2 SU and 4-3 ATS. They are averaging 30.6 points per game and giving up about 25 points per game. Is there anyone that wants anything to do with the Bills against the Patriots in a prime time game with Derek Anderson at quarterback? The public is going to continue to bet the Patriots and this number should go even higher. This one is really, really ugly, but we’ll take the Bills plus the big points as an ugly dog.

Underdog Plays - Week 8
October 24, 2018
By Bookmaker

By Kyle Markus

NFL Football Odds - Top NFL Underdog Plays Of Week 8

It’s easy to bet on a favorite. They are usually the better team and the home team, a combination that gives oddsmakers a reason to take points from them. However, it’s often smart to bet on the underdog. They are the ones that get the points, and furthermore, an upset win on the moneyline becomes very lucrative.

The NFL has plenty of underdogs who cover each week, and the Week 8 slate of games will be no different. The hard part is figuring out which teams will do so.

Here is a guide to the best underdog choices in NFL wagering.

Odds Analysis

The first underdog to get behind is the Jacksonville Jaguars. They have been in a funk of late and have a tough matchup this week against the Philadelphia Eagles. However, Jacksonville is at home and gets three points in a game that feels closer to a toss-up. Look for the Jaguars defense to bounce back, and the addition of running back Carlos Hyde should help. As long as quarterback Blake Bortles isn’t awful as he has been of late, the Jaguars will cover.

A good choice for an underdog to pull off the upset is the New York Giants. It is certainly not a huge upset as they are only 1-point underdogs against the Washington Redskins, but New York is at home and should find some rhythm offensively against a Washington defense that does have some vulnerability. The Giants at -101 on the moneyline are a nice choice.

The Carolina Panthers are another good underdog choice to pull an upset. They are 2-point underdogs to the Baltimore Ravens but get the matchup at home. The Ravens are definitely a solid team but if quarterback Cam Newton and running back Christian McCaffrey can get the ground game going, Carolina should have a good chance to win. The price is right with the +110 odds to take Carolina.

The Green Bay Packers are not used to being big underdogs but they are traveling to face off with the undefeated Los Angeles Rams this week. Green Bay is a 9.5-point road underdog, which is unfathomable in the Aaron Rodgers era. It’s easy to see Los Angeles is favored, but this spread does seem too high. Even if the Packers are down by double digits late, look for Rodgers to lead his team down the field for a touchdown to help Green Bay produce the backdoor cover.

The Oakland Raiders aren’t a very good team and they just dealt receiver Amari Cooper to the Dallas Cowboys. Even so, they are at home this week and getting three points against an Indianapolis Colts team that isn’t very good in its own right. The Raiders should be able to cover this spread and are a good pick to pull off the upset at the +135 moneyline odds.

Free NFL ATS Picks
While those are some of the top underdog choices, the best one is the Cleveland Browns. They are going on the road this week to face off against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Traditionally this would be a blowout win for Pittsburgh, but Cleveland is improved this year while the Steelers are down.

The Browns went toe-to-toe with Pittsburgh in the first matchup this year and an eight-point spread in favor of the Steelers is too high. Take Cleveland to keep this margin within a touchdown or lower in NFL wagering.

NFL ATS Pick: Cleveland Browns to cover the eight-point spread against the Pittsburgh Steelers

Teams to Watch - Week 8
October 24, 2018
By YouWager.eu

Futures Forecast Predictions, top picks, teams to avoid for Week 8

For the teams that have yet to have their bye week, this coming Sunday will represent the midway point of the season. There are very few teams who can be totally content with where they are right now, as most are caught up in tight divisional races or out of the playoff picture altogether.

It is sure to be a frantic second half of the season, with a host of teams battling it out for those very limited playoff spots. What we all want to know is which teams to play and which to avoid, which is why we get into that discussion every single week.

Here are our 4 plays for Week 8 of the NFL season with all the odds, props and futures offered by YouWager.eu

Miami Dolphins at Houston Texans (-7½)

After just 3 weeks of the season, were all taking the time to write off the Houston Texans. They had started the season at 0-3, making their chances of getting into the postseason very slim indeed. What a difference a month makes, though, as Houston have reeled off 4 straight wins to get above .500 and take control of the AFC South. This weekend, they will welcome in the Miami Dolphins as a 7 ½ point favorite. Miami have faltered after a positive start to the season and are just 1-7 SU in their last 8 meetings with the Texans. Miami are also just 1-7 SU and ATS in their last 8 road games. It is for those reasons that I am going to play the Houston Astros ATS.

Philadelphia Eagles (-3) vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (London)

Here are a pair of teams that we expected to be among the leaders in their respective conferences at the midway point of the season. As it stands, though, both are on the brink of panic mode, as both are struggling to find the wins they need to be postseason bound. The Eagles have been a bitter disappointment this year, while the Jaguars are facing the usual issues, which is that they simply cannot rely on Blake Bortles. The Jags yanked their starting QB after a brutal first half last week and you have to wonder where they go from here. This team looks to be in trouble, so I would avoid the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Washington Redskins at New York Giants (Pick 'em)

This is the one game where I would get on the point spread immediately, as it seems a little low to me. The NFC East leading Washington Redskins will be in the Big Apple this coming Sunday to face a New York Giants team that has started the season at 1-6 for the second straight year. The Giants offense is an absolute disaster, so I find it a little surprising that they are in as a 1-point underdog for this one. Sure, Washington has not had a lot of success at MetLife Stadium in recent years, but I think we are looking at a very different situation here. I am definitely going to play the Washington Redskins ATS.

Indianapolis Colts (-3) at Oakland Raiders

It would appear that there is a bit of a fire sale going on in Oakland, with coach Gruden shipping out the best talent on the team in exchange for 1st round picks. The Raiders say that they have a 3-year plan in place to rebuild this team, but in doing so, it would appear that they have basically written this season off. They are now just 1-6 and the rumor is that the players have lost confidence in QB Derek Carr. Not the ideal situation moving forward and one that makes it tough to see where their next win is going to come from. They are a 3-point dog at home to the Colts this weekend and I am going to avoid the Oakland Raiders.
