Before the eighth Sunday of the 2023 NFL regular season kicks off, let’s have some fun by taking a look at the lines for the Week 8 games.

You can CLICK HERE for straight up NFL picks without regard to the spread. You can find all of the NFL betting lines via DraftKings SportsBook.

My overall record so far is 58-47-1 after going 6-7 last week. The BGN community is slightly ahead at 61-44-1.

Here are suggestions when trying to beat the odds.

NFL WEEK 8 GAMES

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (-7) at WASHINGTON COMMANDERS: These are two teams trending in different directions since last playing in Week 4. The Eagles have been figuring things out while the Commanders have been falling apart. Washington had a lot of breaks go their way in the last matchup and it seems unlikely that they’ll be that fortunate again. The Eagles’ pass rush is primed to feast on Sam Howell. This is my Lock Of The Week for this week’s episode of TGIFootball on The SB Nation NFL Show. I’m 6-1 in my locks this season after going 14-7 last year. PICK: Eagles -7

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS at MIAMI DOLPHINS (-8): The Pats played over their head last week. The Dolphins will bounce back after getting a bit healthier. PICK: Dolphins -8

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (-2.5) at PITTSBURGH STEELERS: Counting on the Steelers’ offense isn’t a great feeling. But it’s just so hard to bet against Mike Tomlin as a home dog. PICK: Steelers +2.5

LOS ANGELES RAMS at DALLAS COWBOYS (-6.5): The Cowboys will win the game but the unstoppable Puka Nacua will help the Rams keep it close to cover the spread. PICK: Rams +6.5

NEW YORK JETS (-3) at NEW YORK GIANTS: The Giants are banged up while the Jets are coming off their bye. The Jets’ strong defensive front should be able to take advantage of a weak offensive line. PICK: Jets -3

MINNESOTA VIKINGS (-1) at GREEN BAY PACKERS: The Vikings are coming off a short week, sure, but it’s a bit surprising they’re not favored by more. Their ceiling is undeniably higher than any ceiling we’ve seen from the Packers this year. PICK: Vikings -1

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (-2) at INDIANAPOLIS COLTS: The Saints are in disarray while the Colts have shown moxie. The line almost feels too good to be true, which makes me nervous. We also saw Gardner Minshew specifically struggle against the Saints last year. But I’ll still side with the home dog. PICK: Colts +2
