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. Wide receivers A.J. Brown (Patriots), DeVonta Smith (Eagles), and Emeka Egbuka (Buccaneers) are all ruled out for the weekend.
Expert Best Bets
Steelers (-3.5) vs. Browns: SportsLine 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: Expert David Bearman points out Denver ranks 30th in total offense and 23rd in total defense despite a 5-2 record. He highlights Kansas City's statistical dominance in their Week 1 meeting (19-9 in first downs, 392-176 in yards) and the Broncos' 28th-ranked rush defense against Chiefs running back Ken Walker III, who leads the NFL with 701 rushing yards.
Eagles (+5.5) vs. Commanders: Expert R.J. White cites Philadelphia's resilience despite injuries, holding a late lead against Dallas before falling short. He notes Washington's 31st-ranked scoring defense and a lone win built on short drives, suggesting the market line move overvalues the Commanders.
Combining the three expert picks into a parlay would yield a +573 payout (risk $100 to win $573).
