NFL Week 8 Betting Odds: Look-ahead Lines

Tim Heitman-USA TODAY Sports

As we’re about to get Week 7 of the NFL season underway, we’ve already got the Week 8 look-ahead lines up on the board. Let’s take a peek at the early odds for next week and see what the oddsmakers are projecting:

Miami Dolphins at Houston Texans

Lookahead Line: OTB

This line is off the board as we’re not sure about Ryan Tannehill’s injury status.

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (in London)

Lookahead Line: Pick ’em

The Jaguars are back in London. This time they’ll get a shot at the Super Bowl champs. Both teams have been mediocre after making strong playoff runs last year.

Cleveland Browns at Pittsburgh Steelers

Lookahead Line: Steelers -7.5

The Browns and Steelers played to an epic Week 1 tie back when Tyrod Taylor was a starter. Now they’ll have a rematch with Baker Mayfield under center for the Browns.

Denver Broncos at Kansas City Chiefs

Lookahead Line: Chiefs -9.5

The Broncos are in a bit of a tailspin but they’ll have 10 days to prepare for this contest. They’ll need it as the Chiefs have looked great this season.

New York Jets at Chicago Bears

Lookahead Line: Bears -5

This will be the Bears third straight AFC East opponent as they lost at Miami and then hosted the New England Patriots.

Washington Redskins at New York Giants

Lookahead Line: Giants -1

The Redskins will hit the road after hosting the Panthers and Cowboys in back-to-back home games. The Giants will be coming off a short week, having played the Falcons on Monday night.

Seattle Seahawks at Detroit Lions

Lookahead Line: Lions -2.5

The Lions and Seahawks have both been in the .500 vicinity so far. This is starting to get into must-win territory if either team wants to make a playoff push.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Cincinnati Bengals

Lookahead Line: Bengals -5

The Bengals have had a couple of tough contests with the Steelers followed by the Chiefs. They’ll be happy to have a bit of a reprieve here with Tampa Bay visiting.

Baltimore Ravens at Carolina Panthers

Lookahead Line: PICK

The Panthers are back home after playing three straight road games. We’ll see if the Ravens can challenge them as they’ve been hit or miss on the road.

Indianapolis Colts at Oakland Raiders

Lookahead Line: Raiders -1.5

It’s surprising to see the Raiders favored against anyone right now. However, the Colts have been quite miserable themselves — albeit while facing a much tougher schedule.

San Francisco 49ers at Arizona Cardinals

Lookahead Line: Cardinals -2

The 49ers flopped at home to the Cardinals a couple of weeks ago, handing them their first win of the season. They had five turnovers in that game, though. We’ll see if the 49ers can clean things up this time around.

Green Bay Packers at Los Angeles Rams

Lookahead Line: Rams -8.5

The Packers-Rams game will be one of the marquee matchups of the week. The Rams have played three straight away games, so they’ll be happy to be back home in the warm weather of Los Angeles.

New Orleans Saints at Minnesota Vikings

Lookahead Line: Vikings -3 (+100)

The Saints-Vikings game is a rematch of a memorable playoff game last year. The Saints will be looking for revenge after a last-second defensive lapse allowed the Vikings to advance.

New England Patriots at Buffalo Bills

Lookahead Line: OTB

It looks like the Bills will be without Josh Allen for weeks. They’re likely to be a double-digit underdog in this spot.
