The Week 8 NFL schedule features a 12-game Sunday slate with pivotal matchups including Steelers vs. Browns, Chiefs vs. Broncos, and Commanders vs. Eagles. SportsLine's team of experts has released their top betting picks for the week, highlighting three best bets with a combined parlay payout of +573 (risk $100 to win $573). Notable injuries include wide receivers A.J. Browns (Patriots), DeVonta Smith (Eagles), and Emeka Egbuka (Buccaneers), all ruled out.
Steelers (-3.5) vs. Browns
Expert Matt Severance notes the Steelers are on an 11-0 ATS home run in AFC North games and haven't lost at home to Cleveland in the regular season in decades. He questions which Browns road team will show up after inconsistent performances.
Chiefs (-112) vs. Broncos
David Bearman points out Denver ranks 30th in total offense and 23rd in total defense despite a 5-2 record. He emphasizes the Chiefs' dominance in the Week 1 meeting (19-9 in first downs, 392-176 in yards, 34-26 time of possession) and Ken Walker III's 173 rushing yards in that game. Walker leads the NFL with 701 rushing yards this season.
Eagles (+5.5) vs. Commanders
R.J. White cites Philadelphia's injury issues but notes they held a late lead against Dallas. He views Washington as a step down in opponent quality, especially with Terry McLaurin and Jacory Croskey-Merritt sidelined, and highlights the Commanders' 31st-ranked scoring defense. White is fading the large market line move favoring Washington.
