2023 NFL Week 8 Best Bets
Rams at Cowboys
The LA Rams lost a tough game to the Steelers last week and have looked better and better each week offensively. The Cowboys are coming off of a bye. I don’t think the Cowboys will be able to win this one by a TD.
This game feels like a close game where the Cowboys pull away late, so I’ll take the points and back the Rams. The Cowboys, off of a bye, will have a sleepy, slow start.
Rams +6.5 Points (+100) 1 Unit
Bengals at Niners
The Bengals are coming off of a bye and headed to San Francisco, where the Niners have dropped their last 2 games. Joe Burrow and the Bengals have looked better and better each week. The healthier Burrow gets, the scarier the Bengals offense looks.
I don’t know how effective Brock Purdy will be if he plays in this game. He doesn’t look right, and the concussion issues seem like something San Fran should deal with seriously. Perhaps we get Sam Darnold in this game?
Either way, 5 points feels like too much against this Bengals team.
Bengals +5 Points (+100) 1 Unit
Jags at Steelers
This Steelers team is so resilient. I don’t understand how they win the games they win, but somehow, someway they always find a way to squeak out a win. They upset the Rams last week despite being outplayed for most of the game.
This game feels like it will be very similar, I’m expecting the Steelers to hang around, some bad weather to keep it low-scoring and the Steelers to make a play late to get in position to win the game.
I’ll take the Steelers as home underdogs in this one.
Steelers ML (+116) 1 Unit
Ravens at Cardinals
My upset pick of the week! The Ravens have received all of the public hype and shine after steamrolling the Lions. The Ravens are a good team but may be overlooking this Cardinals team.
This feels like a classic trap game where the Ravens go on the road and lose a close-fought game that surprises the league and reminds us it is an any given Sunday league.
Cardinals ML(+335) 1 Unit
