The NFL Week 8 picks are here, and there are a litany of quality games on the docket, starting with Thursday Night Football. 

As always, all the lines and odds come from our great partners at WynnBet.

49. Thursday, Oct. 28. 8:20 p.m. ET. 6-1. 32. AZ -6.5. NFLN. 7-0

Even with some of the stars being out with COVID/injuries, this the best TNF game we’ve had in awhile. However, the Cardinals are top-five in offense and defense. They’re the better team.

Pick: Arizona 29, Green Bay 23

6-1. Sunday, Oct. 31. 1-6. 10. 51. FOX. LAR -14.5. 1 p.m. ET

Stop the fight! This is going to be the equivalent of a 4th grader fighting Mike Tyson in his prime.

Pick: Los Angeles 36, Houston 9

50. PHI -3.5. 54. Sunday, Oct. 31. 0-7. 1 p.m. ET. 2-5. FOX

Detroit could. get its first win here, but can’t predict it. The Eagles are going to get pressure on Jared Goff throughout the day.

Pick: Philadelphia 24, Detroit 21

Sunday, Oct. 31. 4-3. CLE -3.5. 3-3. CBS. 53. 1 p.m. ET. 55

Huge games for both in this age-old rivalry. Whoever loses will feel sick and move one step closer to a disappointing campaign.

Pick: Pittsburgh 23, Cleveland 20

57. SF -4. 2-4. Sunday, Oct. 31. 3-4. 1 p.m. ET. 42. FOX

Does anybody watch this game? Justin Fields has no support, and Jimmy Garoppolo is barely a starting quarterback at this point.

Pick: Chicago 20, San Francisco 16

87. FOX. Sunday, Oct. 31. 3-3. ATL -3. 3-4. 44. 1 p.m. ET

Somehow, the Falcons are 3-3 and matter for the moment in the NFC playoff picture. Meanwhile, the Panthers are making like the Titanic.

Pick: Atlanta 31, Carolina 22

1 p.m. ET. 1-6. CBS. 16. BUF -13. 59. Sunday, Oct. 31. 4-2

The Dolphins are a complete mess from the top down, and now they visit the Bills who are coming off a bye week. Good luck.

Pick: Buffalo 33, Miami 17

5-2. CBS. TEN -1. 35. Sunday, Oct. 31. 3-4. 46. 1 p.m. ET

Indianapolis is starting to play better and get healthy. Tennessee is the better team and a real contender, but the Colts will be very desperate here.

Pick: Indianapolis 28, Tennessee 24

56. 1-5. 30. CIN -10.5. 5-2. CBS. Sunday, Oct. 31. 1 p.m. ET

The Jets are starting someone called Mike White. This line could be 20 points and it wouldn’t be enough.

Pick: Cincinnati 30, New York 7
