WEEK 8 NFL PICKS FOR BET REGAL
Chicago at Dallas (-10)
Justin Fields played well in Chicago’s rout over New England. Micah Parsons and the Cowboys present a tougher challenge for the Bears.
BEST BET: COWBOYS, 26-13
San Francisco (-1) at Los Angeles Rams
The 49ers have won seven straight regular-season games against the Rams, who beat San Francisco in the NFC title game last season. The Rams are getting little respect as home underdogs coming off a bye.
UPSET SPECIAL: RAMS, 23-20
Tennessee (-1) at Houston
Whether it’s a banged-up Ryan Tannehill or rookie Malik Willis starting at quarterback for the Titans, expect a heavy dose of Derrick Henry against the Texans.
TITANS, 23-17
Pittsburgh at Philadelphia (-10.5)
Philly is fired up. The Phillies are in the World Series. The Eagles are 6-0 and they’re 10 1/2-point favorites at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Coming off a bye, the Eagles need to regain that momentum.
EAGLES, 27-12
Denver vs. Jacksonville (-2.5) in London
Russell Wilson’s status makes this a tough call in a matchup of 2-5 teams. Trevor Lawrence was a yard short from potentially beating the Giants.
JAGUARS, 17-16
Las Vegas (-1) at New Orleans
Josh Jacobs has been on an impressive three-game stretch running the ball for the Raiders. The injury-depleted Saints should be rested after playing Thursday.
RAIDERS, 28-24
Carolina at Atlanta (-4)
After shocking Brady and the Bucs, the Panthers face the inconsistent Falcons.
FALCONS, 23-17
Miami (-3.5) at Detroit
Tua Tagovailoa is back and the Dolphins are undefeated in games he finishes. The Lions are better than their record.
LIONS, 30-27
Arizona at Minnesota (-3.5)
DeAndre Hopkins makes the Cardinals more complete on offense. The Vikings could be rusty after a bye.
CARDINALS, 26-24
New England (-3) at New York Jets
Bailey Zappe or Mac Jones? Somehow the Patriots are road favorites against the Jets.
PATRIOTS, 23-19
New York Giants at Seattle (-3)
The Giants keep winning and getting little respect. Geno Smith has the surprising Seahawks leading the NFC West.
SEAHAWKS, 24-20
Washington at Indianapolis (-3)
It’s Sam Ehlinger vs. Taylor Heinicke instead of Carson Wentz vs. Matt Ryan.
COLTS, 22-17
Green Bay at Buffalo (-10.5)
Aaron Rodgers has never been a double-digit underdog until now. The Packers are trying to snap a three-game losing streak and avoid embarrassment against the Bills.
BILLS, 31-23
Cincinnati (-3.5) at Cleveland
Joe Burrow and the Bengals are rolling.
BENGALS, 30-17
2022 RECORD
Last Week: Straight up: 7-7. Against spread: 8-6.
Season: Straight up: 64-44. Against spread: 58-49-1.2
