CBS Sports betting analyst delivered a perfect 5-0 record in Week 7 NFL picks and unveiled five best bets for Week 8, along with straight-up predictions for all 16 games.
Top Week 8 Bets
Trey McBride 70+ receiving yards (-127): The Cardinals tight end has recorded at least seven catches in nine consecutive games, the longest streak ever by a tight end. McBride posted 10 catches for 111 yards and a touchdown against the Broncos in Week 7 and faces a Cowboys defense that has struggled against tight ends.
Steelers moneyline vs. Browns (-192): Pittsburgh has not lost a regular-season home game to Cleveland since 2003. The Steelers have shifted to a run-heavy approach over the past three weeks, while the Browns defense allowed 129 rushing yards and three touchdowns to Tony Pollard last week. Deshaun Watson has thrown just two passing touchdowns in the past four weeks.
Zay Flowers 90+ receiving yards (+116): With a healthy Lamar Jackson, Flowers has averaged 117.7 yards per game in the first half of contests this season. Both players are expected to be fully fit for a high-scoring matchup against the Bills.
Patriots at Dolphins OVER 43.5 points (-108): Miami's offense has scored 24 and 28 points in its last two games, ranking 16th in explosive play rate. New England quarterback Drake Maye has rediscovered his deep ball, and the Dolphins allow the third-highest yards per completion in the NFL.
Jaguars -5.5 vs. Colts and Bhayshul Tuten 80+ rushing + receiving yards (+114): Jacksonville, coming off a bye, faces an Indianapolis team in turmoil after firing GM Chris Ballard and trading Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner. Tuten ranks among the top 10 running backs in yards after contact per carry and faces a Colts defense allowing the 28th-most yards per carry.
Straight-Up Week 8 Predictions
The analyst predicts the following winners: Packers over Panthers, Ravens over Bills, Bengals over Titans, Cowboys over Cardinals, Lions over Vikings, Jaguars over Colts, Raiders over Jets, Steelers over Browns, Falcons over Buccaneers, Rams over Chargers, Chiefs over Broncos, Patriots over Dolphins, Commanders over Eagles, Seahawks over Bears. The analyst's season record stands at 68-39, with a 9-5 mark in Week 7.
