Week 8 ATS Pick #1: Browns +8.5 vs Ravens

The Ravens have won five in a row and look like serious Super Bowl contenders. In fact, they only trail the Chiefs in the latest Super Bowl odds. Despite that, this is a tough spot for Baltimore on Sunday.

Baltimore is off a short week after playing on Monday Night Football, and this will be their third road game in four weeks. The Browns will look different in Week 8 with Jameis Winston under center, and he should provide a much-needed spark to this offense. Winston likes to throw the ball around the field, and we have seen the Ravens’ secondary struggle this year, so Cleveland could be in for some big plays on Sunday.

Cleveland’s defense is still a strong unit, and they know the Ravens well. The Browns have won two of the last three times these teams have played. Underdogs in AFC North matchups are 45-31 (59%) against the spread since 2018. I am not confident that the Browns will pull off the outright upset, but 8.5 is too many points for a home, divisional underdog.

  • Pick: Browns +8.5 (-110)

Week 8 ATS Pick #2: Eagles +2.5 vs Bengals

The NFL odds list the Bengals as 2.5-point home favorites against the Eagles. Both Philadelphia and Cincinnati are 2-0 in their last two games, and both of the teams’ wins have come against the Browns and the Giants.

The biggest advantage in this game is the Eagles running game vs the Bengals rush defense. Cincinnati allows 4.4 yards per carry, and now they face Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts. The Eagles’ weapons are healthy now, so the Bengals will not be able to stack the box and sell out to stop the run. Cincinnati’s secondary has also been gashed, so AJ Brown and Devonta Smith could be in for a big day, especially off of play-action.

The Bengals offense of course has weapons as well, and Cincinnati’s passing attack has been improved over the past couple of weeks. Still, I trust Philadelphia’s defense and rushing attack much more and believe they will be able to control the game. I like the Eagles to cover the spread on the road.

  • Pick: Eagles +2.5 (+100)

Week 8 ATS Pick #3: Cowboys +4.5 vs 49ers

The Cowboys are off a bye week, and the 49ers lost their Super Bowl rematch against the Chiefs last week. The 49ers have been bitten by the injury bug yet again this year, and they will have multiple key pieces not playing on Sunday Night Football.

Christian McCaffrey is still out, and Brandon Aiyuk is done for the season. Then Jauan Jennings is doubtful, and Deebo Samuel is questionable, and that is just on the offensive side of the ball. Dallas’s rushing defense has been abysmal this season, but I still like this spot for the Cowboys. In their three wins, Dallas has allowed 93 rushing yards or less. Mike McCarthy is 38-23-3 (62.3%) against the spread with extended rest in his career as a head coach.

Both of these teams are trending in the wrong direction, but Dallas has had an extra week to attempt to right the ship. The Cowboys are winless at home but are 3-0 on the road. This should be a close game no matter who wins, so I like getting over a field goal with Dallas.

  • Pick: Cowboys +4.5 (-115)
