The Week 8 NFL schedule features a 12-game Sunday slate with pivotal matchups including Steelers vs. Browns, Chiefs vs. Broncos, and Commanders vs. Eagles. Wide receivers A.J. Brown (Patriots), DeVonta Smith (Eagles), and Emeka Egbuka (Buccaneers) are all ruled out for the weekend.
SportsLine's expert panel has identified three best bets for Sunday. The Steelers are favored at -3.5 against the Browns, the Chiefs are -112 moneyline favorites over the Broncos, and the Eagles are +5.5 underdogs versus the Commanders. Combining these three picks into a parlay would yield a +573 payout (risk $100 to win $573).
Expert Analysis
On Steelers vs. Browns, expert Matt Severance noted Pittsburgh's 11-0 against-the-spread home record in AFC North games and the inconsistency of Cleveland's road performances. For Chiefs vs. Broncos, David Bearman highlighted Denver's 30th-ranked offense and 28th-ranked rush defense against Kansas City's Ken Walker III, who leads the NFL with 701 rushing yards. Regarding Eagles vs. Commanders, R.J. White pointed to Philadelphia's competitive showing against Dallas despite injuries, and Washington's 31st-ranked scoring defense, suggesting the line has moved too far in the Commanders' favor.
