The Week 8 NFL schedule features a 12-game slate on Sunday 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.
Steelers (-3.5) vs. Browns
SportsLine expert Matt Severance notes the Steelers are on an 11-0 against-the-spread home run in AFC North games and have not 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 Ken Walker III, who leads the NFL with 701 rushing yards.
Eagles (+5.5) vs. Commanders
R.J. White cites Philadelphia's injury issues but notes they held a late lead against Dallas. He argues Washington's offense has produced only one drive longer than 43 yards all season and ranks 31st in scoring defense, making the large line move on the Commanders a fade candidate.
Combining the three expert picks into a parlay would yield a +573 payout (risk $100 to win $573).
