Week 8 Trends

The Packers have never won in Buffalo and the Steelers haven’t won in Philly since 1965 and neither team is likely to break those streaks as both are double-digit underdogs in Week 8.

Week 8 betting trends kick off Thursday with a Baltimore team that always covers as road dogs visiting a slumping Tampa team that has failed to cover five straight as favorites. Elsewhere the London game sees Denver facing Jacksonville in a clash of teams with opposite streaks in Week 8 games and the 49ers look for a seventh straight regular-season cover against the Rams.

Aaron Rodgers has never been a double-digit dog, but bettors will make him one in Buffalo Sunday. And on Monday, all the positive trends rest with Cincinnati and all the negative ones are unsurprisingly on the Browns. Check out the Week 8 NFL betting trends and streaks and good luck!

UNDER is 11-2 past 13 KC games as double-digit home favorites

Archived Week 8 NFL betting trends article from Oct. 29, 2020

The biggest point spread in Kansas City Chiefs history and possibly the biggest point spread in New York Jets history could happen in the same Week 8 matchup.

KC opened as 19.5-point favorites, by far the biggest in team history (since 1980 anyway when our database begins). The Jets were dogs of 21 and 20.5 in years past, so 21.5 would be a record if bettors push this line upwards. There are trends however that suggest the Chiefs can’t be trusted with a super big spread, while the Jets have covered both times in this situation.

Elsewhere, more UNDER trends than you can shake a betting stick at in the Pittsburgh-Baltimore battle, which will further shake out the Super Bowl 55 future odds situation. And the Falcons, despite their late-game collapses, seem to have all the betting angles working in their favor as they visit Carolina in the Week 8 Thursday Nighter.

All odds courtesy FanDuel and Draft Kings as of Tuesday Oct. 27.

Thursday Night Football Trends

Atlanta +2.5 @ Carolina Total 49 | Matchup Report

A battle of third-rated road passing offense and second-best home passing defense. Historically, there are lots of streaks favoring the Atlanta Falcons here and lots of recent bias to fade the Panthers as favorites, on a Thursday, within the division.

Atlanta is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 vs Carolina.

Atlanta is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games

Atlanta is 7-2 ATS past 9 games as the underdog.

Carolina is 3-10 SU in their last 13 divisional games

Carolina is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games as the favorite

UNDER is 18-7 Atlanta’s last 25 games at Carolina

Pittsburgh +4 at Baltimore Total 48 | Matchup Report

If you want to bet this game OVER, don’t read any further because all the trends point UNDER. Both teams have been winning and covering, with the Steelers biting hard as underdogs in recent years (10-2-1 ATS past 13 times). Baltimore is 14-4 ATS the past 18 seasons following their bye week, so beware that extra rest factor.

UNDER is 13-3 Pittsburgh’s last 16 road games

UNDER is 5-1 Pittsburgh’s last 6 games at Baltimore

UNDER is 9-3 Pittsburgh’s last 12 divisional games

UNDER is 17-6 Pittsburgh’s last 23 games played in Week 8

UNDER is 9-3 Minnesota’s last 12 vs Green Bay.

UNDER is 9-2 Green Bay’s last 11 divisional games

Minnesota is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games at Green Bay.

Green Bay is 8-3 ATS, 10-1 SU in their last 11 games at home

NY Jets +19.5 at Kansas City Total 48 | Matchup Report

The biggest point spread in Kansas City history was 16 points, Nov. 11, 2018 at home to Arizona and Dec. 13, 1992 home to New England. The failed to cover either time, FYI. If this line climbs a few more points to -21.5, it will be the largest Jets dog number in their history. They were +21 at New England last season, losing 30-14 to cover the spread and +20.5 also at New England back Dec. 16, 2007, losing 20-10 and also covering the spread.

So KC doesn’t cover big spreads, Jets do cover big spreads. You figure it out from here….

NY Jets are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games, and finally covered a spread in 2020 last week.

NY Jets are 5-13 ATS in their last 18 conference games.

NY Jets are 2-11 ATS in their last 13 games played in Week 8.

Tennessee -6 at Cincinnati Total 54.5 | Matchup Report

The Titans have been road favorites twice in 2020, won each time, failed to cover each time. The Bengals get six points at home and if you hope that Cincy does better when the calendar flips to November, well, you would be wrong as they are 2-11 SU in their past 13 games in this month.

Cleveland is 6-18-1 ATS in their last 25 games played in November.

New England +3.5 at Buffalo Total 43 | Matchup Report

Why does this feel like a trap? Buffalo has been a far superior team yet they only lay 3.5 points? Of course, the Patriots have won 15 of 16 games here in Buffalo so maybe oddsmakers are scared, but that was Tom Brady’s Patriots, not these Patriots. Buffalo usually wins when they are favored (19-4 SU run).

San Francisco +3 at Seattle Total 54 | Matchup Report

The Niners have covered nicely on the road lately (9-3 ATS) and when catching points (7-1 ATS as underdogs). However they shit the bed in Seattle, going 2-10 ATS the past 12 seasons here. Can Seattle bounce back from a bad Sunday night loss? Historically they shit the nest in Week 8.

Tampa Bay has been a double-digit road favorite just once in 40 years of our database (2005 at San Francisco and they lost 15-10 as 10-point favorites). So this is the biggest road number in franchise history. Meanwhile the Giants have  failed to cover 8 straight as home underdogs and that streaks stretches to 1-12 ATS over 13 games in this situation. However, the last five times the Giants were double-digit home dogs, they covered each time. If you wondered if this was the biggest home dog number in Giants history, its not – the Patriots were -14.5 here in 2007.

Giants are 6-1-1 ATS past 8 games vs Tampa Bay

OVER is 21-8 past 29 Tampa Bay road games
