Minnesota Vikings astatine Los Angeles Rams (Thursday Night)
Opening Line: Rams -3.5
Blake Schuster: Vikings -3
Cooper Kupp is backmost for what whitethorn beryllium his past crippled successful Los Angeles. It’s not going to matter much.
Prince Grimes: Vikings -3
The Rams are 1-5 ATS, nan Vikings are 5-1. And only 1 of these teams plays defense.
Charles Curtis: Vikings -3
I don’t consciousness awesome astir this one, fixed that it feels for illustration nan Rams could find a measurement to cover. But, OK.
Cory Woodroof: Vikings -3
Minnesota rebounds pinch a Los Angeles squad that judge sounds for illustration it’s looking up to 2025 correct now.
Robert Zeglinski: Vikings -3
The Rams whitethorn aliases whitethorn not beryllium pulling nan plug connected their existent era soon while nan Vikings are locked successful a heated NFC North section race. This 1 matters a batch much to a amended (and healthier) Minnesota team.
Christian D’Andrea: Vikings -3
The different footwear is going to driblet erstwhile it comes to Sam Darnold. I don’t deliberation nan league’s 26th-best passing defense will beryllium nan 1 to make it happen.
Philadelphia Eagles vs. Cincinnati Bengals
Opening Line: Bengals -3
Blake Schuster: Bengals -2.5
Don’t look now, but nan Bengals person their swagger back.

This matchup seemed much breathtaking earlier nan play started. Anyway, Saquon Barkley could person different large game.
Charles Curtis: Eagles +2.5
Philly? Underdogs? To nan Bengals? Thanks!
Cory Woodroof: Bengals -2.5
Cincinnati is coming live for illustration it usually does this clip of year. Philadelphia feels very inconsistent this season. I’ll return Joe Burrow and company.
Robert Zeglinski: Bengals -2.5
The Eagles are gonna bumble their measurement to 11 wins again, but that still intends they’ve gotta return a fewer much dumb losses connected nan chin. Taking an L from nan middling Bengals qualifies.
Christian D’Andrea: Bengals -2.5
Cincinnati is doing Joe Burrow things (overcoming a garbage commencement pinch MVP-caliber numbers). The bigger interest is whether Lou Anarumo tin get his defense successful line.
Baltimore Ravens vs. Cleveland Browns
Opening Line: Ravens -1
Blake Schuster: Ravens -9
I’m not judge it matters who is starting astatine QB for Cleveland, nan Ravens don’t play pinch their food.
Prince Grimes: Ravens -9
Although I deliberation Jameis Winston gives Cleveland a amended chance than nan past dude they had playing quarterback.
Charles Curtis: Ravens -9
Until I spot really Jameis Winston does pinch a surgery Browns offense, I person to return nan contenders.
Cory Woodroof: Ravens -9
Baltimore will triumph this crippled by 2 touchdowns, but nan Cleveland defense will origin occasional problems.
Robert Zeglinski: Ravens -9
Are nan Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry Ravens nan coolest and astir nosy NFL squad of each time? That’s a rhetorical question.
Christian D’Andrea: Browns +9
I don’t for illustration it either, but Kevin Stefanski does really good erstwhile handed a competent quarterback. Plus, this is simply a *lot* of points to laic connected nan road.
Tennessee Titans vs. Detroit Lions
Opening Line: Lions -7.5
Blake Schuster: Lions -11
Tennessee is successful The Bad Place. I’m not judge really nan Titans get retired of it.

The Titans stay connected insta-fade.
Charles Curtis: Lions -11
The Titans are BAD bad.
Cory Woodroof: Lions -11
The Titans’ defense is amended than you’d expect for their record, but nan discourtesy is not. Detroit will roll.
Robert Zeglinski: Lions -11
Well, I don’t really spot why nan Lions would dislike nan anodyne Titans, truthful don’t expect them to break retired instrumentality plays erstwhile they’re up by 3 touchdowns this time.
Christian D’Andrea: Lions -11
Of each nan games that will beryllium played successful Week 8, this is 1 of them.
Arizona Cardinals astatine Miami Dolphins
Opening Line: Dolphins -6
Blake Schuster: Cardinals +3
Tua will request immoderate clip to get his hit backmost (if he plays) and nan Cardinals look to person recovered theirs connected offense.
Prince Grimes: Dolphins -3
I don’t consciousness awesome astir it, but I’ll return nan location team. They’ll get a bully boost from their QB’s return.
Charles Curtis: Cardinals +3
I deliberation this will beryllium a adjacent one.
Cory Woodroof: Cardinals +3
I’m not judge why Arizona isn’t nan favourite successful this game. If Tua Tagovailoa plays, he’s going to beryllium rusty. The Cardinals are feisty, moreover if they’re not amazing.
Robert Zeglinski: Cardinals +3
Hoo boy, I cognize Tua mightiness beryllium back, but that is measurement excessively galore points for nan meager Dolphins for my tastes.
Christian D’Andrea: Dolphins -3
Time zones, Tua, etc. Either way, nary 1 will unit you to watch this game. The Geneva Convention has a full point astir it.
New York Jets astatine New England Patriots
Opening Line: Jets -4.5
Blake Schuster: Patriots +7.5
I was each fresh to return nan Jets earlier Aaron Rodgers started breaking retired nan large words and Davante Adams called retired nan team’s energy a week aft getting traded.
Prince Grimes: Jets -7.5
I felt a batch amended astir this erstwhile it was -7, but nan measurement nan Pats discourtesy unopen down aft a accelerated commencement against Jacksonville doesn’t animate overmuch confidence.
Charles Curtis: Patriots +7.5
Just nan benignant of crippled nan Jets will play down to and win, but nan Pats will cover.
Cory Woodroof: Jets -7.5
New York is going to person to triumph a crippled astatine immoderate constituent pinch Davante Adams successful nan fold. Right? New England feels for illustration nan moment.
Robert Zeglinski: Jets -7.5
The Jets are spontaneously combusting correct earlier our eyes, but I can’t successful bully conscience spot thing astir nan Patriots correct now.
Christian D’Andrea: Patriots +7.5
New York has 1 triumph this play by much than 7 points. That was astatine location against nan pre-Drake Maye Patriots. You cognize nan aged saying: “No 1 thumps Jerod Mayo by 21 points doubly successful six weeks.”
Atlanta Falcons astatine Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Opening Line: Buccaneers -1
Blake Schuster: Falcons -2.5
I don’t deliberation nan Bucs are down for nan count conscionable yet, but taking down a section rival aft losing your 2 champion wideouts is simply a monolithic ask.
Prince Grimes: Falcons -2.5
Baker Mayfield’s play was opening to gaffe moreover earlier he mislaid his apical 2 receivers.
Charles Curtis: Falcons -2.5
Sigh. Sure.
Cory Woodroof: Falcons -2.5
I would person picked nan Bucs without nan injuries. Those are devastating. Falcons triumph adjacent successful this scenario. Just cognize it will still beryllium close.
Robert Zeglinski: Falcons -2.5
No Chris Godwin and nary Mike Evans intends nan Buccaneers don’t moreover support gait pinch Kirk Cousins this time.
Christian D’Andrea: Falcons -2.5

We don’t judge you, Jacksonville.
Charles Curtis: Packers -4.5
Doug Pederson, clip to battalion your bags aft this one.
Cory Woodroof: Packers -4.5
The Jaguars person won a mates of games recently, but they are still bad.
Robert Zeglinski: Packers -4.5
Have nan Jaguars considered unplugging and plugging themselves backmost in? It could work!
Christian D’Andrea: Packers -4.5
Jacksonville tin hit nan NFL’s waste but I get nan emotion that’s astir it. Jordan Love tin beryllium forced into bad decisions but is nan squad pinch 3 turnovers forced successful 7 weeks really gonna capitalize?
Indianapolis Colts astatine Houston Texans
Opening Line: Texans -4
Blake Schuster: Colts +5.5
Indy is conscionable bully capable to suffer this crippled by a section goal.
Prince Grimes: Colts +5.5
The Colts aren’t good, but they are 6-1 ATS.
Charles Curtis: Texans -5.5
Hey, mobility here: is Anthony Richardson a bust? I will ponder that while I watch nan Texans triumph by 10.
Cory Woodroof: Texans -5.5
Division games are ever weird, but Houston takes attraction of business here.
Robert Zeglinski: Texans -5.5
Poor Anthony Richardson. He gets a DeMeco Ryans defense a week aft a stupid roadworthy loss. Keep him successful your thoughts and prayers.
Christian D’Andrea: Texans -5.5
I’m done trying to fig retired Colts games. They should suffer this one, which intends Richardson will get wounded and Joe Flacco will lead them to a roadworthy win.
New Orleans Saints astatine Los Angeles Chargers
Opening Line: Chargers -3
Blake Schuster: Chargers -7.5
This crippled is going to beryllium a joyless slog. Also known arsenic Jim Harbaugh’s specialty.
Prince Grimes: Chargers -7.5
This crippled astir apt won’t spell overmuch different than nan Denver crippled for New Orleans.
Charles Curtis: Chargers -7.5
The defense will clamp down connected a hapless Saints team.
Cory Woodroof: Chargers -7.5
The Saints are starting to get healthier, but Los Angeles feels for illustration nan benignant of instrumentality that wins against struggling teams.
Robert Zeglinski: Chargers -7.5
Oh, I cognize what nan Saints should do to hole their problems! Restructure ANOTHER statement for an older seasoned connected his past legs. That’ll do it!
Christian D’Andrea: Chargers -7.5
Spencer Rattler, your passing game, woof.
Buffalo Bills astatine Seattle Seahawks
Opening Line: Bills -3
Blake Schuster: Bills -3.5
Always difficult to stake against nan Seahawks arsenic location underdogs but I consciousness beautiful bully astir this week pinch some teams headed successful other directions.
Prince Grimes: Bills -3.5
DK Metcalf’s position is iffy. His imaginable absence makes nan Hawks a small easier to defend.
Charles Curtis: Seahawks +3.5
A smidge uneasy astir this 1 fixed that nan Bills are beautiful good.
Cory Woodroof: Seahawks +3.5
Seattle tin triumph this 1 adjacent if it affects Josh Allen for illustration it did Kirk Cousins past week and Geno Smith balls retired again
Robert Zeglinski: Seahawks +3.5
The Seahawks aren’t bad capable and nan Bills aren’t bully capable (at least, yet) for maine to debar taking nan points for nan location team.
Christian D’Andrea: Bills -3.5
The occurrence of nan 49ers and, uh, Giants, propose Lumen Field isn’t rather nan intimidation facet it erstwhile was.
Carolina Panthers astatine Denver Broncos
Opening Line: Broncos -2.5
Blake Schuster: Broncos -9
Bryce Young, Andy Dalton, Cam Newton, doesn’t matter. Denver’s defense tin unopen down immoderate of them pinch ease.
Prince Grimes: Broncos -9
Laying this galore points connected Bo Nix is insane, but truthful is picking nan Panthers. So let’s get crazy.
Charles Curtis: Broncos -9
This dispersed should beryllium larger.
Cory Woodroof: Broncos -9
Bo Nix is not playing well, but this Panthers defense isn’t stopping anybody.
Robert Zeglinski: Broncos -9
The feline who tin hardly propulsion downfield is astir to destruct nan Panthers, who mean allowing 34 points a game. You’re doing great, David Tepper!
Christian D’Andrea: Broncos -9
Again, Carolina has played a azygous crippled successful which it didn’t suffer by double digits. And that was against nan Raiders.
Kansas City Chiefs astatine Las Vegas Raiders
Opening Line: Chiefs -5.5
Blake Schuster: Raiders +10
Maxx Crosby is going to make a large belief connected his early squad and Patrick Mahomes is going to turnover nan shot capable to support nan Raiders live conscionable agelong capable to crush them.
Prince Grimes: Chiefs -10
The Raiders stink.
Charles Curtis: Chiefs -10
I know, I know. Divisional game. Whatever. This Raiders squad ain’t covering.
Cory Woodroof: Chiefs -10
Remember that full “the Raiders make nosy of Patrick Mahomes pinch a Kermit puppet” thing?
Robert Zeglinski: Chiefs -10
DeAndre Hopkins’ reward for escaping nan Titans is leaving nan QB pinch nan second-most interceptions successful nan NFL to subordinate nan QB pinch nan most. Gah, he conscionable can’t find immoderate respite, tin he?
Christian D’Andrea: Chiefs -10
(looks astatine Panthers blurb above)
Chicago Bears astatine Washington Commanders
Opening Line: Bears -2
Blake Schuster: Bears -1.5
I’m insulted by this line. It’s going to beryllium a beatdown.
Prince Grimes: Bears -1.5
I would person taken Chicago moreover if we knew Jayden Daniels was playing. Only 1 of these teams plays defense.
Charles Curtis: Bears -1.5
I’ll presume nary Jayden Daniels here.
Cory Woodroof: Bears -1.5
No Jayden Daniels, nary Washington win.
Robert Zeglinski: Bears -1.5
Not only is Caleb Williams a amended and much precocious quarterback, but his Bears are besides a amended and much complete squad connected some sides of nan ball, whether Jayden Daniels plays aliases not.
Christian D’Andrea: Bears -1.5
Chicago, coming disconnected a bye, against *that* defense??? Even if Jayden Daniels were afloat patient I’d return nan visitors.
Dallas Cowboys astatine San Francisco 49ers (Sunday Night)
Opening Line: 49ers -5.5
Blake Schuster: Cowboys +4.5
Has tailing nan Cowboys worked retired for maine this year? Nope! Am I foolish capable to spot them again? Yep!
Prince Grimes: Cowboys +4.5
I don’t cognize man. The Cowboys are kinda hopeless and nan 49ers are losing players near and right.
Charles Curtis: 49ers -4.5
Slightly uneasy astir this 1 too, but sure.
Cory Woodroof: 49ers -4.5
San Francisco isn’t playing to expectations correct now, but neither is Dallas. I spot Kyle Shanahan to utilization a bad Dallas defense.
Robert Zeglinski: 49ers -4.5
Brock Purdy looks kinda for illustration a erstwhile Mr. Irrelevant again BUT nan Cowboys person a measurement of making everyone … relevant. Ugh, that didn’t consciousness good. I’m sorry.
Christian D’Andrea: 49ers -4.5
It’s reliable to spot either squad correct now, but if I were betting connected 1 squad to get correct aft an underwhelming commencement — and I americium — it’s not gonna beryllium nan 1 coached by Mike McCarthy.
New York Giants astatine Pittsburgh Steelers (Monday Night)
Opening Line: Steelers -4

Robert Zeglinski: Steelers -6.5
Every clip I look complete astatine nan Giants, they’re engaged vomiting each complete themselves. It’s uncanny. What a cupcake matchup for semi-washed Russell Wilson.
Christian D’Andrea: Steelers -6.5
The Giants person nan defense to grind this crippled out. I’m not judge they person nan discourtesy to cover.
