CBS Sports analyst Will Brinson has released his best bets, player props, and anytime touchdown scorer predictions for NFL Week 8, highlighting key matchups and betting angles.
Top Game Picks
Brinson favors the over 54.5 points in the Baltimore Ravens vs. Buffalo Bills game, citing both teams' offensive firepower with Lamar Jackson expected to play and Josh Allen likely to run frequently. He also likes the Miami Dolphins +7 against the New England Patriots, noting Miami's recent win over the Jets and historical struggles for New England in Miami. Additionally, he backs the New York Jets on the money line versus the Las Vegas Raiders, pointing to the Raiders' lone low-scoring game coming outdoors against the Patriots and the Jets' urgency with tough upcoming opponents.
Player Props
For player props, Brinson recommends Dallas Cowboys receiver Ryan Flournoy over 36.5 receiving yards, noting Flournoy has hit that mark in each of his last four games and has at least four targets every game this season. He also likes Baltimore Ravens wideout Zay Flowers over 82.5 receiving yards, citing Flowers' production with Jackson at quarterback and the Ravens' offensive scheme under coordinator Declan Doyle.
Anytime Touchdown Scorers
Brinson's anytime touchdown scorer picks include Detroit Lions receiver Jameson Williams at +210, citing his ability to exploit blitzes; Atlanta Falcons receiver Drake London at +225, highlighting his target share with Michael Penix Jr. under center and a favorable matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers; and Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum at +160, noting the Rams' heavy run-game approach and Corum's goal-line usage under coach Sean McVay.
The article also mentions the midseason trade sending interior linemen Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks and Jeffrey Simmons to the Chicago Bears, setting up a Week 8 Monday night matchup between their new teams.
