NFL Week 8 motion is on the horizon as we’ve officially reached the near halfway point of the season.
In Week 7, our predicition of Colts +2 against the Chargers paid some dividends plus more as Indianapolis dominated Los Angeles. Daniel Jones and Jonathan Taylor paced the Colts’ high-powered offense to a convincing win on the road.
Now, let’s take an early have a look at some lines that stick out to us for Week 8.
Patriots -7 vs. Browns
Mike Vrabel is doing an exceptional job in Latest England, because the Patriots come into this contest on a four-game winning streak. Second-year quarterback Drake Maye has taken the leap, pacing the offense with 12 passing touchdowns and only two interceptions through Week 7.
Latest England ranks seventh in scoring defense, allowing just 20 points per contest.
Vrabel is a guru relating to scheming against young QBs and the Browns travel to Foxborough with rookie Dillion Gabriel under center.
Even when Cleveland decides at hand the ball off to running back Quinshon Judkins, the Patriots defense ranks fourth against the run, surrendering 83 yards per game and just three touchdowns on the 12 months.
Vrabel spent a while with the Browns last 12 months as coach and coordinator, I imagine his familiarty with Cleveland’s gameplan will come into play. Take the Pats – 7 while you’ll be able to.

Bears at Ravens, OVER 49.5 total points
It’s been a disaster for John Harbaugh and Baltimore up to now this season. Their offense looks lethargic without two-time MVP Lamar Jackson under center.
There may be hope that Jackson will return for this matchup, which might profit Derrick Henry, together with other veterans Mark Andrews and DeAndre Hopkins to make positive plays.
The bad news? The Ravens defense has yet to make an impact and has been underwhelming to say the least. Baltimore ranks dead last in total sacks (eight), allowing a league-worst 32.3 points per game to opposing offenses.
Chicago has quietly won its last 4 games, as offensive coordinator Ben Johnson has converted Caleb Williams and the offense right into a top-10 group (25.2 ppg). Playmakers Rome Odunze, De’Andre Swift and DJ Moore have all improved under Johnson’s offense.
Nonetheless, like Baltimore, the Bears’ defense has been suspect at times, including a Week 2 outing wherein they gave up 52 points to the Detroit Lions. Chicago also ranks thirty first in rushing defense, allowing 156.4 yards on the bottom per contest.
The rushing duo of Jackson (if he’s cleared to play) and Henry would take full advantage of a poor run defense.
I see a ton of points being put up on this game as each defenses struggle mightily, rating in the underside six of points allowed. Take the over while it lasts at this line, as the whole points will likely soar as much as 51-53 by the week’s end.
