NFL Football Betting - An Early Look At Week 8

- Minnesota Vikings @ New England Patriots
SportsBetting.com Odds:NO LINE
What do you do with this game?
The Minnesota Vikings are in desperate need of a win but are coming off of a tough, heart-breaking loss at Green Bay this past week. Now they play their second straight road game and they may be (but probably won’t be) without Brett Favre. Even if Favre plays, he hasn’t looked great this year and now he’s got a bad ankle.
Is this the time to give Tarvaris Jackson a try?
Tough to be the Vikings in this spot against a Patriots team that is tough to beat at home.
SportsBetting.com Pick: Patriots
- Washington Redskins @ Detroit Lions
SportsBetting.com Odds: Lions -2
Football betting handicappers should be aware that Lions quarterback Matt Stafford is on the verge of returning this week. He has practiced with the first team the entire week and was seen airing out 70-yard bombs.
The next question is can Stafford and the Lions win this week?
The Lions are off a bye week and that should count for something. See: Buffalo Bills in Week 7. On top of that, the Redskins are playing their second straight on the road and last week, they needed six turnovers just to win by three points. Take a shot with the Lions on Sunday
SportsBetting.com Pick: Lions -2
- Pittsburgh Steelers @ New Orleans Saints
SportsBetting.com Odds: NO LINE
When this line does open up, expect the Saints to be about a one-point favorite or for this game to be at a pick. Does that smell like a trap to you?
The Saints lost at home last week to Cleveland, the worst team in the AFC North, and now they are still (somewhat) favored against the best team in the NFC North.
The snap-judgment is to take the Steelers but don’t be surprised if the Saints put forth their best effort on Sunday and get the job done against the best team in the AFC.
SportsBetting.com Pick: Saints
