Entering Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season, predictions and locks look to rebound following a middling 2-3 ATS performance in locks the previous week. New Orleans, New York (Giants), San Francisco, and Houston are on bye weeks, while teams prepare for a full slate of games.
Indianapolis Colts at Jacksonville Jaguars
The Indianapolis Colts enter Week 8 on a three-game losing streak with a 2-5 record and are struggling offensively, tying for the league’s worst average at 4.5 yards per play. Quarterback Daniel Jones ranks 31st in passer rating and has thrown an interception in all but one game this season. They will visit a 4-2 Jacksonville Jaguars team coming off a bye week. Trevor Lawrence is performing like an MVP candidate, and the Jaguars possess a pass defense allowing an 87.7 passer rating alongside seven interceptions, making the Jaguars 7.5-point favorites with a projected score of 33-20.
Tennessee Titans at Cincinnati Bengals
The Cincinnati Bengals displayed their offensive potential with a strong second half against Baltimore and face a Tennessee Titans team struggling to keep pace offensively. Cincinnati features the third-best red zone efficiency in the NFL, conceding a touchdown on only 35% of trips, which counters a Tennessee red zone offense scoring on 47.4% of attempts. The Bengals are projected to win 35-21 as 10.5-point favorites.
Los Angeles Chargers at Los Angeles Rams
The winless Los Angeles Chargers face the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium following their bye week. Justin Herbert leads the league with a 5.6% turnover-worthy throw rate, while the Rams boast a defense giving up a league-low 186.3 passing yards per game. Additionally, the Chargers allow 123.8 rushing yards per game, opening opportunities for Rams running backs Kyren Williams and Blake Corum. The Rams are projected to win 30-17 as 6.5-point favorites.
New England Patriots at Miami Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins secured their first win of the season against the Jets, but face a tough test against the New England Patriots. Head coach Mike Vrabel has led New England to an 8-4-1 ATS record on the road, where they hold a rest advantage after playing the previous Thursday. Drake Maye faces a Dolphins secondary surrendering a league-high 116.8 passer rating. The Patriots are projected to win 30-20 as 7.5-point favorites.
Philadelphia Eagles at Washington Commanders
The Philadelphia Eagles face a major rest disadvantage, playing on the road on a short week after a Monday night game against a Washington Commanders squad coming off a bye. Washington will be without wide receiver Terry McLaurin for the season due to a torn patellar tendon, but features emerging options like Antonio Williams and Chig Okonkwo. Meanwhile, Eagles running back Saquon Barkley dealt with a hamstring injury on Monday night. The Commanders are projected to win 27-17 as 4-point favorites.
Other projected Week 8 outcomes include the Packers over the Panthers (30-20, Packers -3.5), Cowboys over Cardinals (28-23, Cardinals +6), Falcons over Buccaneers (24-20, Falcons +2.5), Bills over Ravens (30-27, Ravens +3.5), Steelers over Browns (26-20, Steelers -3.5), Raiders over Jets (24-21, Raiders +1.5), Lions over Vikings (27-21, Lions -3.5), Chiefs over Broncos (23-20, Chiefs -1.5), and Seahawks over Bears (27-23, Seahawks -3).
