NFL Betting Lines Week 8: Odds, Storylines & Betting Tips

With no international games on Sunday morning, the attention will be on the early slate with the Eagles and Giants meeting in a rematch of two weeks ago, when the Giants stunned the Eagles on a Thursday night.

We'll also see if Lamar Jackson returns from injury to salvage the Ravens' season. The team is coming off a bye week and faces an improved Chicago team (4-2). The Panthers (4-3) are also above .500 with a golden opportunity at home against the Bills, who are on a two-game slide and coming off a bye as well.

The late-afternoon window sees the Cowboys in Denver, which could be a great non-conference game after the historic comeback Denver just had against the Giants, scoring 33 points in the fourth quarter alone. The Cowboys have been scoring at will lately, and they have a chance at the playoffs even after the criticized Micah Parsons trade.

The NFL Week 8 odds have Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers as home underdogs in a rematch against his former team, the Green Bay Packers. Then, Monday night features a potential shootout between the Commanders and Chiefs, but we'll have to see if Jayden Daniels is healthy enough to face Patrick Mahomes for the first time. If he can't go, we'll be watching Marcus Mariota as a double-digit underdog for the reeling Commanders.
