2025 NFL Week 8 Best Bets - Football Lines
With six teams on a bye in Week 8 we have the shortest schedule this season with 13 contests on tap. The Rams and Seahawks, two of the three leaders in the NFC West, are off leaving the San Francisco 49ers to either take the lead or fall off the pace. The Niners take on their former defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans and the Houston Texans on Sunday as a 1.5-point road favorite on the early NFL betting line. There is another reunion game of sorts on Sunday Night Football when Pittsburgh’s Aaron Rodgers faces his former Green Bay team for the first time since leaving the organization.
The betting week starts with an interconference tilt between the Minnesota Vikings and LA Chargers on Thursday Night Football. The Vikings were the only NFC North team to lose last week falling into the basement of the ultra competitive division at 3-3. It’s the only division in the NFL with all four teams at or above .500. The Bolts have experienced difficulties as well losing three of their last four games while going 0-4 ATS. Their defense that allowed the fewest points last season has surrendered at least 27 points in each of the last three games and currently ranks 18th in average points per game against.
Just two weeks ago the Eagles were humiliated by the Giants, 34-17, in the Meadowlands. Philly has a chance to avenge that setback on Sunday hosting the G-Men as a 7.5-point favorite in one of three divisional matchups on the slate. Last week the Eagles displayed a passing game that’s been non-existent most of the season with Jalen Hurts throwing for 326 yards and three TDs in a win over Minnesota. Meanwhile the Giants allowed 33 fourth quarter points and blew a 19-0 lead falling to Denver 33-32. At 6-1 the Indianapolis Colts have the best record in the NFL and they are the biggest favorite on the Week 8 board laying 14.5-points to AFC South foe Tennessee.

*Odds as of Tuesday, October 21, 1:00 PM ET
For those who gave up on the Chiefs after starting the season 0-2, shame on you. If we’ve learned anything during the career of Patrick Mahomes it’s probably not a good idea to bet against him. A resurgent offense has KC over .500 for the first time with Mahomes playing his best football in some time. Continuing their dominance in the AFC West, KC throttled Las Vegas 31-0 last Sunday in a complete take down. Mahomes had three TD passes, the third time in four games he’s had at least that many, and the defense limited the Raiders to 95 total yards, three first downs and zero third down conversions in seven attempts.
KC’s Monday Night Football contest with Washington will be more appealing if Jayden Daniels is healthy enough to play. Last year’s offensive rookie of the year led the Commanders to the NFC Championship a season ago but injured his hamstring in Sunday’s 44-22 loss to Dallas, Washington’s second straight setback and third in four games. The line surfaced at KC -10.5 but it could move depending on the status of Daniels.
The Jets are the last team looking for its first win of the season and will try this week against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Justin Fields experiment could be over after he was benched following another pathetic display. Fields was 6 of 12 for 46 yards and the Jets failed to score a TD in a second straight game dropping a 13-6 decision to Carolina. Acquiring Joe Flacco may have saved Cincinnati’s season. The veteran had a sparkling performance in a win over Pittsburgh in the Week 7 Thursday night game with 342 yards passing and three TDs to help end a 4-game losing streak. Toss in some offense with a porous defense and you have a recipe for points. The Bengals have gone OVER the total four times with a push in their last six games.
And speaking of points oddsmakers are expecting them in the Dallas at Denver game on Sunday with the total of 50 the highest on the board. Behind Dak Prescott the Cowboys lead the NFL in total offense and are second averaging 31.7 points. Prescott is second in the NFL with 1,881 passing yards and 16 TDs. The Boys have cashed the OVER in four straight games and in five of the last six.
