NFL Week 8 Opening Odds Featuring The Return Of Lamar, Giants At Eagles Rematch

There are only 13 games this week because six teams are on bye: Lions, Raiders, Rams, Cardinals, Seahawks, and Cardinals.

It's going to be tough to bet the NFL in Week 8 because six teams are on bye, and there are only 13 games. Finding winners in the NFL is hard enough when all 32 teams are playing. But you have to pick your spots better in these shorter weeks. 

Or, you can be a degenerate like me, and bet every primetime game, 3-4 more games on Sunday, and hope it all works out. (It usually doesn't). That said, here are the opening moneylines, spreads, and totals for NFL Week 8.
