NFL odds for Week 8 are down to the final game. It's a matchup that looked great preseason, but not as great now, with no Jayden Daniels on the field.

NFL Odds for Every Game of NFL Week 8

Washington Commanders vs. Kansas City Chiefs Odds

• Opening point spread: Chiefs -11.5
• Opening moneyline: Chiefs -600/Commanders +450
• Opening total: Over/Under 48.5 points scored
• Time: 8:15 p.m. ET Monday (ABC/ESPN)

GAME DAY UPDATE: Ninety minutes before kickoff, the Chiefs are actually down to -10 (-115) in BetMGM's Week 8 NFL odds. Heading into the weekend, Kansas City was out to -12.5, after opening -9.5 (-115) a week ago.

But the line dipped to -11.5 Saturday, -11 Sunday and -10 (-115) at 1:45 p.m. ET today. Still, the book needs a reasonably good performance from underdog Washington. Better still, a Commanders outright upset.

"The public is still all over the Chiefs, so we're still rooting for the Commanders," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said, while noting a lot of moneyline parlays are running to K.C. tonight. "About 90% of moneyline bets are on the Chiefs.

"So it would be nice if the Commanders win."

The total is at 48, stuck there since Thursday after opening at 48.5 (Under -115) and bottoming out at 46.5 Wednesday. Cipollini said per usual, the Under is the need.

LATE WEEK UPDATE: Over the weekend, this line started moving slightly toward double-digit underdog Washington in DraftKings Sportsbook's NFL Week 8 odds. Kansas City entered the weekend at -12.5, fell to -11.5 Saturday and -10.5 (-115) Sunday night.

As of 1:45 a.m. Monday, it's still Chiefs -10.5 (-115). Kansas City is taking 63% of spread bets and 70% of spread money at DK.

The total is at 48.5 (Under -115), after opening 47.5 a week ago and initially climbing to 48.5, then bottoming out at 46.5 Wednesday. It returned to 47.5 Thursday and got to 48.5 (-115) on Sunday evening. The Over is seeing 64% of bets/57% of money.

MIDWEEK UPDATE: Jayden Daniels (hamstring) is listed as doubtful, but it seems almost certain he's out Monday night. That led to yet another significant line jump Wednesday, with Borgata Sports up to Chiefs -12.5, after opening -9.5 and getting to -10/-10.5 early in the week.

"The Chiefs have taken the early money, and there are already plenty of parlays tied to the Chiefs," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said.

With Daniels likely out, the total is down to 47 from a 48.5 opener in the NFL odds Week 8 market.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: Kansas City (4-3 SU and ATS) might just be hitting its stride, going 4-1 SU and ATS in the last five games. In Week 7, the Chiefs trucked Las Vegas 31-0 laying 12.5 points at home.

Washington (3-4 SU and ATS) doesn't look like the NFC Championship Game participant of last season. And once again, Jayden Daniels is hurt. The Commanders got run out of Dallas 44-22 as 1.5-point road pups.

Daniels, who missed two games with a knee injury earlier this season, left early in the second half with a hamstring issue. With Daniels' status uncertain, The SuperBook opened Kansas City as an 11.5-point home favorite, with no movement so far Sunday night.

"The lookahead number here was more like K.C.-5.5. But we re-opened -11.5 after seeing Jayden Daniels exit the game today in Dallas," SuperBook VP John Murray said. "The Washington defense is awful, and now that the QB is hurt, their season is in jeopardy of going off the rails.

"And Kansas City looks like the best team in the AFC again."

Completed Games for NFL Week 8

Green Bay Packers vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Odds

• Opening point spread: Packers -3 (-120)
• Opening moneyline: Packers -175/Steelers +155
• Opening total: Over/Under 43.5 points scored
• Time: 8:20 p.m. ET Sunday (NBC)

GAME DAY UPDATE: With kickoff 90 minutes out, Green Bay is -3 (even) in BetMGM's NFL odds Week 8 market. In fact, the Packers were at some iteration of -3 all week until dipping to -2.5 twice momentarily early this evening.

The back-and-forth is indicative of action on the contest.

"It's a split decision tonight, on spread parlays and straight bets, and moneyline parlays and straight bets," BetMGM senior trader Tristan Davis said, while adding there is one need. "We will want the Under."

The total is at 46, reaching that high point at 6 p.m. ET today, after climbing from 43.5 to 45.5 by Wednesday afternoon.

MIDWEEK UPDATE: The Packers are stable as 3-point road favorites in Borgata Sports' Week 8 NFL odds.

"Early betting has been evenly split on the side. But we have seen early money come in on the Over, when we opened it at 43.5. It is now up to 45.5," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: Green Bay (4-1-1 SU/2-4 ATS) got all it could handle as 7-point road chalk vs. Arizona. The Packers needed a touchdown with 1:50 remaining and a stop in the waning seconds to squeak out a 27-23 victory.

Pittsburgh (4-2 SU/3-3 ATS) was dealt an upset in the Week 7 Thursday nighter. The Steelers closed as 5.5-point favorites at Cincinnati and lost a shootout 33-31 on a final-seconds field goal.

The SuperBook opened Green Bay -3 (-120) in NFL Week 8 odds, then adjusted to -3 flat within a few minutes Sunday night.

"We took a little money on the Packers at -3, but nothing that would necessitate moving the line," SuperBook vice president John Murray said. "I think the house will be waving the Terrible Towels this time next week."

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. New Orleans Saints Odds

• Opening point spread: Buccaneers -5.5
• Opening moneyline: Buccaneers -265/Saints +225
• Opening total: Over/Under 48.5 points scored
• Time: 4:05 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

GAME DAY UPDATE: An hour before kickoff, Tampa is 3.5-point home chalk at BetMGM. That's the low point for the week, reached Saturday after the Bucs opened -6.5, dipped to -5.5 Monday and -5/-4.5/-4 Tuesday.

That's in part due to the Buccaneers' banged-up roster. Wideout Mike Evans (collarbone) is done for the season, fellow wideout Chris Godwin Jr. (ankle) remains out this week, as is running back Bucky Irving (shoulder).

Still, there's no shortage of action on Tampa Bay today.

"This game is the most lopsided of the day. About 90% of bets are on Tampa. The book needs the Saints," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said.

The total is at 46.5, down from a 47.5 opener and Monday's 48.5 high mark at BetMGM.

LATE WEEK UPDATE: Tampa Bay is 4.5-point road chalk in DraftKings Sportsbook's NFL odds Week 8 market, as of 1:30 p.m. Friday afternoon. The Bucs have been at that number since Wednesday afternoon, after opening -6.5 Sunday, with multiple stops on the way.

Early spread tickets are running 4/1 on the Bucs, but early spread money is 2/1 on the underdog Saints.

The total has been at 46.5 most of the week, after opening at 47.5 and touching 48.5 for a few hours Monday. It's two-way play with a modest lean toward the Over, on tickets and money.

EARLY WEEK UPDATE: The Buccaneers (5-2 SU/4-3 ATS) got derailed in the Week 7 Monday night slot. Tampa Bay was a 6-point road pup vs. Detroit and lost 24-9.

In the wake of that loss, The SuperBook on Tuesday morning reopened Bucs-Saints at Tampa -4.5 and even went to -4 for about two hours. It's now Bucs -4. That's down from Sunday's opener of Bucs -5.5 and Monday morning's high point of -6.

Likewise, the total is down to 47 from a 48.5 opener.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: Tampa Bay (5-1 SU/4-2 ATS) still has Week 7 work to do, and by no means easy work. The Buccaneers travel to Detroit for the Monday night game.

New Orleans (1-6 SU/2-5 ATS) rallied from a 20-0 second-quarter deficit at Chicago, pulling within 20-14 with 9:40 left in the third quarter. But the Saints didn't score again in a 26-14 loss catching 3.5 points.

The SuperBook opened Bucs-Saints at Tampa -5.5 in the NFL odds Week 8 market, with no early moves Sunday night.

Dallas Cowboys vs. Denver Broncos Odds

• Opening point spread: Broncos -3
• Opening moneyline: Broncos -160/Cowboys +140
• Opening total: Over/Under 47.5 points scored
• Time: 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

GAME DAY UPDATE: With kickoff about 75 minutes, out, the Broncos are -3.5 (-105) in BetMGM's NFL odds Week 8 market. Denver opened -3 last Sunday and has been at -3.5 since Wednesday.

"A Broncos win and Cowboys cover would be ideal," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said.

The total is at 51.5, with most of the movement coming from Sunday-Thursday, as it climbed from 47.5 to 51.

MIDWEEK UPDATE: Denver is up to -3.5 from a -3 opener in Borgata Sports' NFL Week 8 odds.

"Both of these teams are off wins last weekend, but certainly took two different paths to get there," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said. "The Broncos had an improbable win over the Giants with a big fourth quarter comeback, but the Cowboys dominated their game start to finish.

"We are starting to see some Dallas money now at +3.5."

The total is up to 50.5 from a 48.5 opener.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: Denver (5-2 SU/2-5 ATS) tried everything in its power to lose vs. the New York Giants in Week 7. The Broncos, 8-point home favorites, dug themselves into a 19-0 hole through three quarters and trailed 26-8 with 10:14 left in the fourth.

But Bo Nix & Co. rallied for a stunning 33-32 victory. There were three lead changes in the final two minutes. Denver went up 30-26 on a touchdown, then fell behind 32-30 with 37 seconds left.

However, the Giants missed the extra point. Denver then drove for a 39-yard game-winning field goal from Will Lutz.

Dallas (3-3-1 SU/4-3 ATS) had no such dramatics in Week 7, and against a quality opponent, no less. The Cowboys thumped Washington 44-22 laying 1.5 points at home.

Still, The SuperBook opened Denver as 3-point road chalk, with no early movement.

"This should be a really good game for handle. Both teams are very popular with the betting public this season, and every Dallas game seems to be exciting," SuperBook VP John Murray said Sunday night.

Tennessee Titans vs. Indianapolis Colts Odds

• Opening point spread: Colts -14
• Opening moneyline: Colts -1200/Titans +750
• Opening total: Over/Under 44.5 points scored
• Time: 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

GAME DAY UPDATE: Thirty minutes before kickoff, Indy stretched from 14.5 to -15.5 in DraftKings NFL Week 8 odds. The Colts opened -14 a week ago and spent most of the week at -14.5.

Spread tickets are running 2/1 and spread money 2.5/1 on the Colts.

DraftKings' total is at 47.5, matching the opener, but up from last Sunday's 46.5 low point and down from Saturday's 48.5 high point. Ticket count is 1.5/1 and money 2.5/1 on the Over.

LATE WEEK UPDATE: Indy toggled between -14/-14.5 a couple times this week at DraftKings, then Thursday afternoon stabilized at -14.5. That's where the number is as of 1:30 p.m. ET Friday, with 76% of early spread bets/72% of early spread money on the Colts.

DK's total is at 47.5 (Over -115) and in fact has been at some iteration of 47.5 almost all week, save for a few hours Sunday night at 46.5. Ticket count is dead even, and 55% of cash is on the Over.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: Indianapolis (6-1 SU/5-2 ATS) may well have proven it's no fluke this season. The Colts were 2.5-point road underdogs and took it to the L.A. Chargers in a 38-24 victory. Indy led by 21 twice in the second half en route to its third consecutive SU win.

Tennessee (1-6 SU/2-5 ATS) gave home fans some hope by taking a 10-3 first-quarter lead vs. new England. But the Titans allowed 31 of the final 34 points in a 31-13 loss getting 6.5 points.

Oddsmakers are certainly giving the Colts respect. The SuperBook opened Indy as 14-point home chalk vs. Tennessee in the NFL odds Week 8 market. There's been no movement so far Sunday night.

Chicago Bears vs. Baltimore Ravens Odds

• Opening point spread: Ravens -6.5
• Opening moneyline: Ravens -335/Bears +275
• Opening total: Over/Under 49.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

GAME DAY UPDATE: With 70 minutes until kickoff, BetMGM has the Ravens -2.5 (-118) in the NFL odds Week 8 market. This line has been volatile, thanks to late-breaking news Saturday morning that Baltimore QB Lamar Jackson (hamstring) is out today.

As that news hit, BetMGM went straight from Ravens -7 to -4, then settled at -2.5 (-115). This morning brought a modest juice adjustment to -2.5 (-118). In digital betting (mobile/online), Chicago is getting 62% of tickets, while 53% of money is on Baltimore.

Moneyline action is much more slanted, at 85% of tickets/69% of cash on the underdog Bears.

"The Bears-Ravens action is mixed due to the line movement with the Lamar news. By kickoff, we'll most likely be rooting for the Ravens," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said.

BetMGM's total is at 45, well off the 49.5 opener and 50.5 high point, again due to the Jackson news. Still, 61% of tickets/71% of dollars are on the Over.

LATE WEEK UPDATE: The bottom fell out of this spread Saturday morning, on news that Lamar Jackson (hamstring) now won't play for the Ravens on Sunday. At DraftKings Sportsbook, Baltimore plunged straight from -7 to -3.5 at 10:22 a.m. ET.

By 12:30 p.m. ET Saturday, shortly after official confirmation that Jackson was out, the Ravens further dipped to -1.5, before settling at -2.5. Chicago is landing 64% of early spread bets, while 54% of spread money is on Baltimore in the NFL odds Week 8 market.

The total tumbled, as well, from 49.5 to 44.5, with multiple stops on the way down. It's now at 45.5 (Under -115), with ticket count almost even and 58% of cash on the Under.

MIDWEEK UPDATE: Borgata Sports is at Ravens -6.5, up a notch from the -6 opener in NFL Week 8 odds.

"The Ravens are expected to get Lamar Jackson back. He has been sorely missed, as the Baltimore offense scored only 13 points in the last two games," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said Wednesday. "While it’s not definite that he plays, we've been going with the assumption that he will.

"Thus far, action is pretty balanced on this game."

The total went from 49.5 to 50, then back to 49.5.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: Baltimore (1-5 SU and ATS) is in a very tough spot entering Week 8. But help is on the way, as Lamar Jackson (hamstring) is expected to return after missing two games. The Week 7 bye certainly aided Jackson's status.

Meanwhile, Chicago (4-2 SU and ATS) got out to a 20-0 second-quarter lead and made it hold up in Week 7. The Bears topped New Orleans 26-14 laying 3.5 points, their fourth straight win and cover.

This week, oddsmakers are certainly expecting a different Baltimore team. The Ravens opened as 6.5-point favorites in The SuperBook's NFL odds Week 8 market Sunday night.

"Of course, the assumption is the return of Lamar Jackson at QB," SuperBook VP John Murray said. "The Ravens' season is not over by a long shot. They can still get back in this AFC North chase. But they can’t afford too many more mistakes."

New York Giants vs. Philadelphia Eagles Odds

• Opening point spread: Eagles -6
• Opening moneyline: Eagles -335/Giants +275
• Opening total: Over/Under 42.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

GAME DAY UPDATE: The Eagles are -7.5 (even) in BetMGM's NFL Week 8 odds, with 70 minutes until kickoff. Philadelphia spent the first half of the week at -7 and has been at various iterations of -7.5 since Wednesday morning.

"We've taken pretty close to 50/50 money. We probably just don't want this game to land on Eagles by exactly 7. We would prefer an Eagles win, due to moneyline bets on the Giants," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said.

BetMGM's total has been at 44 since Thursday, after opening 42.5, going to 43.5 Monday. Tickets and money are 3/1-plus on the Over.

MIDWEEK UPDATE: Philly is up to -7.5 in Borgata Sports' Week 8 NFL odds, after opening -7.

"It's a revenge spot here for Philadelphia, after being upset in the Meadowlands two weeks ago," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said. "There is no doubt that this Giants offense has been better with Jaxson Dart as the starter.

"We will see if the Philly defense has some answers this time around. The early money has come in on the Eagles, but I’m sure at 7.5, we will get some Giants action."

The total is at 43.5 from a 42.5 opener.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: Philadelphia (5-2 SU/4-3 ATS) halted a two-game SU and ATS skid in Week 7. The Eagles went to Minnesota as 2.5-point favorites and exited with a 28-22 victory, as Jalen Hurts threw for 326 yards and three touchdowns.

New York (2-5 SU/4-3 ATS) had Denver dead to rights in Week 7. The Giants led 19-0 through three quarters and 26-8 with 10:14 remaining. Big Blue then blew all that lead, yet still was in position to win after scoring a TD to go up 32-30 with 37 seconds left.

But Jude McAtamney then missed his second PAT of the game. And Denver made the G-Men pay, with New York losing 33-32 on a final-seconds field goal. At least New York spread backers got the cover, with the Giants an 8-point road 'dog.

In a scheduling quirk, Giants vs. Eagles takes place two weeks after they first met. In the Week 6 Thursday night game, New York posted a 34-17 upset as a 7.5-point home pup.

Still, Philly is already out to a touchdown favorite in The SuperBook's Week 7 NFL odds.

"We took some money on the Eagles -6 and moved it out to -6.5/-7," SuperBook vice president John Murray said of two early moves Sunday night. "It'll be interesting to see how this young Giants team responds to that crushing loss today.

"Also, this is a revenge spot for Saquon Barkley and the Eagles. This should be a big-handle game next Sunday."

San Francisco 49ers vs. Houston Texans Odds

• Opening point spread: Texans -2
• Opening moneyline: Texans -115/49ers -105
• Opening total: Over/Under 42.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

GAME DAY UPDATE: Houston is -2.5 (-120) in BetMGM's Week 8 NFL odds, 70 minutes before kickoff. The Texans opened -1.5 (-115) and bottomed out at -1 a couple times early last week, then got to -2 Friday and -2.5 Saturday.

"Texans backers are taking them at -2.5, while 49ers backers are taking them on the moneyline. So a Texans 1- or 2-point win would be ideal," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said.

BetMGM's total is at 42, down from a 43.5 opener but up from Tuesday's 41 low point. Tickets are almost even and 61% of money is on the Over.

MIDWEEK UPDATE: This line has jumped the fence a couple times in Borgata Sports' NFL odds Week 8 market. Houston opened -1.5 and got as high as -2.5 Monday. But after the Texans' lackluster Week 7 Monday night loss, the number flipped to San Francisco -1.5.

By Tuesday night, the line was back to Houston -1.5, where it sits Thursday.

"The Niners continue to deal with a ton of injuries, but have remained competitive in their division. This game could close at pick 'em," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said.

The total is down to 41.5 from a 43.5 opener.

EARLY WEEK UPDATE: Houston (2-4 SU and ATS) hasn't looked very good at all this season. Week 7 was no exception, with the Texans falling at Seattle 27-19 as 3-point road underdogs Monday night.

On Sunday, The SuperBook opened 49ers-Texans at Houston -2. The Texans climbed to -2.5 before their Week 7 Monday night game. After the lackluster showing, The SuperBook reopened Niners-Texans at pick 'em Tuesday morning, but the line is now out to Houston -1.5.

The total opened at 42.5 Sunday and is now down to 41.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: San Francisco (5-2 SU and ATS) got another win behind Mac Jones, though in large part due to a huge night from Christian McCaffrey. The shorthanded 49ers topped Atlanta 20-10 as 1-point home underdogs.

McCaffrey ran for 129 yards and two touchdowns, along with seven catches for another 72 yards.

Houston (2-3 SU and ATS) isn't yet out of Week 7. The Texans travel to Seattle for a Monday night contest.

Still, The SuperBook went ahead and opened Houston -2 in the NFL odds Week 8 market. There was no movement by 8:20 p.m. ET Sunday, when Falcons-Niners kicked off, and at that point, 49ers-Texans was taken off the board. The game will go back up Monday morning.

New York Jets vs. Cincinnati Bengals Odds

• Opening point spread: Bengals -4.5
• Opening moneyline: Bengals -300/Jets +250
• Opening total: Over/Under 44.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

GAME DAY UPDATE: Two-plus hours before kickoff, Cincy is -5.5 (-115) at BetMGM. The Bengals opened -6 and initially went to -5.5 (-105) last Sunday, then got out to -6.5 by Monday. Cincinnati toggled between -6.5/-6 on Friday and Saturday, then went to -5.5 this morning.

The Bengals are taking 71% of spread bets/54% of spread money in BetMGM's digital wagering (mobile/online).

The total is at 44.5, which is where it opened and spent most of the week. There was a short stint Monday at 44 and literally four minutes at 45 on Friday. The Under is getting 64% of bets/55% of money.

MIDWEEK UPDATE: As of 6 p.m. ET Thursday, the Bengals are 6.5-point chalk at DraftKings. That's up a notch from Sunday's Cincy -6 opener, but down from the -7 (-105) high point reached a couple times Tuesday.

Early spread play is solidly on Cincinnati, at 4/1 tickets and 2/1 money.

DK's total is at 44.5, matching the opener, though it spent several hours from Sunday into Monday at 45.5. Early ticket count is 2/1 and early money 9/1-plus on the Under.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: Cincinnati (3-4 SU and ATS) just might still have life without Joe Burrow. In just his second week with the Bengals, Joe Flacco led a stunning 33-31 upset of Pittsburgh on Thursday night, with Cincy a 5.5-point home underdog.

The Bengals acquired the 41-year-old QB in an Oct. 7 trade with Cleveland. Flacco threw for 342 yards and three touchdowns, with no interceptions, in the Week 7 victory. Cincy won on a final-seconds field goal.

New York (0-7 SU/2-5 ATS) closed as a rare favorite in Week 7, at -1/-1.5 at multiple books. But the Jets got next-to-nothing on offense, losing at home to Carolina 13-6.

The SuperBook opened Jets vs. Bengals at Cincy -4.5 and advanced to -5 within about 40 minutes on Sunday night. The total also nudged from 44.5 to 45.

Buffalo Bills vs. Carolina Panthers Odds

• Opening point spread: Bills -7.5
• Opening moneyline: Bills -420/Panthers +350
• Opening total: Over/Under 47 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

GAME DAY UPDATE: Buffalo is -7 (-118) in BetMGM's NFL odds Week 9 market, with about two hours until kickoff. The Bills opened -7.5 last Sunday, briefly peaked at -8 Monday, then went back to -7.5, and the number has been at -7 since Thursday.

Spread tickets are running 2.5/1 and spread money 3/1 on Buffalo.

The total moved from 46.5 to 47 this morning, from a 47 opener a week ago and a 45.5 low point Monday. Ticket count is 3/1-plus and money 5/1 on the Over.

MIDWEEK UPDATE: DraftKings has Buffalo as 7-point chalk as of 6 p.m. ET Thursday. The Bills opened -7 in the NFL odds Week 8 market and spent most of Monday and a chunk of Tuesday at various iterations of -7.5, before going back to -7.

Buffalo is attracting 79% of early spread bets/82% of early spread money.

DraftKings' total is at 46.5, down from the 47.5 opener, but up from a 45.5 (Over -115) low point reached Monday/Tuesday. The Over is taking 65% of early bets/69% of early dollars.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: Buffalo (4-2 SU/2-4 ATS) got perhaps a well-timed bye in Week 7. After a 4-0 SU start, the Bills carry a two-game skid into Week 8. Josh Allen & Co. fell to Atlanta 24-14 laying 3.5 points in Week 6.

Carolina (4-3 SU/5-2 ATS) is on a three-game SU and ATS upswing, while rapidly approaching its win total for all of last season (5). In Week 7, the Panthers didn't exactly light it up, but still beat the New York Jets 13-6 as 1.5-point road underdogs.

Bills-Panthers marks Buffalo's second straight trip to the southeast, after that Week 6 Atlanta loss. The SuperBook opened at Bills -7, with no early movement Sunday night.

Cleveland Browns vs. New England Patriots Odds

• Opening point spread: Patriots -7
• Opening moneyline: Patriots -360/Browns +300
• Opening total: Over/Under 40.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

GAME DAY UPDATE: BetMGM has New England -7 (-105) in NFL Week 8 odds, two hours ahead of kickoff. In fact, the Pats have been pinned to some iteration of -7 all week. New England is seeing 64% of spread bets/52% of spread money.

Similarly, the total is painted to 40.5, with only a juice adjustment Monday from Under -115 to a flat -110. The Over is landing 65% of bets/70% of money.

MIDWEEK UPDATE: The Pats have been at some iteration of -7 since Monday evening in DraftKings' NFL Week 8 odds, and they're -7 (-105) Thursday night. That's after New England opened -6.5 Sunday.

Early spread play is heavy to the Patriots, at 67% of tickets/82% of money.

DK's total is painted to 40.5, with the only adjustment coming Thursday morning, from 40.5 flat to 40.5 (Over -115). The Over is drawing 63% of tickets/75% of money.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: New England (5-2 SU and ATS) trailed 10-3 in the first quarter, but ultimately got on track and held Tennessee scoreless in the second half of a 31-13 victory. The Pats easily covered as 6.5-point road favorites and are on a 4-0 SU and ATS run.

New England has already exceeded its win total from each of the last two years, when the Patriots went 4-13 SU.

Cleveland (2-5 SU/3-4 ATS) halted a three-game SU and ATS skid in convincing fashion. The Browns drilled Miami 31-6 giving 2.5 points at home.

Browns-Patriots opened at New England -7 in The SuperBook's NFL Week 8 odds, with no movement so far Sunday night.

Miami Dolphins vs. Atlanta Falcons Odds

• Opening point spread: Falcons -7
• Opening moneyline: Falcons -360/Dolphins +300
• Opening total: Over/Under 45.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

GAME DAY UPDATE: Atlanta bounced between -7.5/-7 a couple times this week in BetMGM's NFL odds Week 8 market. The last move came Saturday, from Falcons -7.5 to -7 (-115), where the line remains at 11 a.m. ET Sunday.

Spread tickets are running 4/1 and spread money 2/1 on Atlanta, which is the second-most-popular pick in Circa Survivor this week, behind only Indianapolis.

BetMGM's total is at 44.5, reaching that point Wednesday after opening 45.5 and going to 45 Monday. Tickets and money are running 2/1 on the Over.

MIDWEEK UPDATE: This line toggled between Atlanta -7/-7.5 at various juice up until Wednesday in DraftKings Sportsbook's Week 8 NFL odds. The Falcons have been steady at -7.5 (-115) since Wednesday afternoon.

On Thursday night, point-spread betting splits are a little on the wild side. Atlanta is seeing 81% of tickets, but 58% of cash is on underdog Miami.

DK's total is down to 44.5 (Over -115) from a 47.5 (Under -115) opener. That's in part due to Falcons QB Michael Penix (knee) being questionable, as are Dolphins wideout Jaylen Waddle (hamstring) and tight end Julian Hill (ankle).

The Over is seeing 57% of early tickets, while 63% of early money is on the Under.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: Atlanta (3-3 SU and ATS) got a statement Week 6 win over Buffalo. But that momentum didn't travel to San Francisco in Week 7, with the Falcons falling 20-10 as 1-point favorites.

Furthermore, QB Michael Penix appeared to suffer a leg injury on Atlanta's final possession. So his status is something to keep an eye on.

Miami (1-6 SU/3-4 ATS) entered Week 7 off a pair of close losses, by a total of 5 points. It wasn't nearly that close in windy Cleveland, where the Dolphins got rolled 31-6 as 2.5-point underdogs.

The SuperBook opened Dolphins-Falcons at Atlanta -7 in Week 8 NFL odds. The game came off the board Sunday night, once Falcons-49ers kicked off. Dolphins-Falcons will go back up Monday morning.

Minnesota Vikings vs. Los Angeles Chargers Odds

• Opening point spread: Chargers -2.5 (-120)
• Opening moneyline: Chargers TBA/Vikings TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 43.5 points scored
• Time: 8:15 p.m. ET Thursday (Prime)

GAME DAY UPDATE: An hour before kickoff, the Chargers are -3 at BetMGM. Los Angeles opened -2.5 Sunday, went to -3 Monday and -3.5 (-102) Wednesday. The line returned to L.A. -3 this afternoon.

"We are pretty much split down the middle. But we're cheering more for the Vikings to cover +3," BetMGM senior trader Tristan Davis said.

BetMGM's total is at 44.5, where it's been since late Monday morning after opening 43.5. Davis said per usual, the book needs the Under tonight.

MIDWEEK UPDATE: A day out from this matchup, the Chargers are beyond field-goal favorites in Borgata Sports' NFL odds Week 8 market.

"It's another Carson Wentz start for Minnesota, and we have seen a decent amount of Chargers money thus far," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said Wednesday afternoon. "We opened L.A. -2.5, and L.A. is now -3.5 after bettors continued to lay 2.5 and 3.

"We will probably end up needing the Vikings here."

The total is up a point, as well, from 43.5 to 44.5.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: Los Angeles (4-3 SU/3-4 ATS) has lost three of four on the field and four straight at the betting window. In Week 7, the Chargers twice trailed Indianapolis by 21 points in the second half, ultimately losing 38-24 as 2.5-point home favorites.

Minnesota (3-3 SU and ATS) had a bye ahead of Week 7, but that break wasn't enough against Philadelphia. The Vikings were 2.5-point home underdogs and fell 28-22. Minnesota has alternated wins and losses each week, both SU and ATS.

Action on last week's lookahead influenced The SuperBook's Vikes-Chargers spread in NFL Week 8 odds.

"We saw a little money on Vikings +3 (-110) on the lookahead number, so we opened the game Chargers -2.5 (-120)," SuperBook vice president John Murray said Sunday night. "Both teams are coming off losses today and with a short week coming.

"It will be Minnesota West at SoFi Stadium on Thursday night."

Indeed, road-team fans tend to make themselves at home in Chargers and Rams games at SoFi.
