NFL Week 8 Parlay: Early Odds, Picks & Predictions (2022)
As we head into Week 8 there are some big stories that involve some veteran quarterbacks. With Mat Ryan hitting the pine, we’ll look at their opponent this week to see if they can get a win. Secondly, Aaron Rodgers will be a double-digit under for the first time in his as he faces the No. 1 defense in the league and it’s a question of if he can cover.

Leg No. 1: Washington Commanders +3 (-115)
There are bigger problems in Indianapolis than just Matt Ryan. These were supposed to be two of the better lines in the league, but the offensive line has allowed the second most sacks (24), and the defensive front is eight-worse against the run. On the other side, the Commanders got a spark with Taylor Heinicke at quarterback and could contain Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.
Due to the struggles of Indy, the line has moved from opening at -6 to -3 for the Colts, which means they’re getting the home-field advantage. Washington has a great defensive line with 19 sacks on the year, and they’ll be in Sam Ehlinger’s face, who has yet to attempt a pass in the regular season.
Leg No. 2: Buffalo Bills -10.5 (-110)
The Bills had an extra week to prepare for this game, and with how the Packers have played over the last few weeks, they didn’t need it. The Green Bay receiving corps is still having problems with drops, and Rodgers is putting up some mediocre numbers. Rodgers went from the best QBR last season to the 26th this year. Add in a run game that’s not playing well, and it’s been a disaster.
Going to Buffalo is one of the toughest and most hostile places to play, and the Bills have shown they are the best on both sides of the ball every week. The Bills are coming into this game 5-0-1 ATS at home, and the Packers are just 2-5 ATS this year.
Leg No. 3: Cincinnati Bengals -3 (-120)
The Bengals are starting to right the ship, and Joe Burrow has been incredible since that win in Miami, with eight touchdowns and a 91.4 QB rating in the last four games. The offensive line is still an issue, and the run game hasn’t been efficient, but Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase are becoming the most dynamic QB/WR tandem in the league.
The Browns have not been able the stay in contention while DeShaun Watson serves his suspension, and it looks like a lost season in Cleveland. The defense that was top five in yards allowed and the top half in points allowed has been a huge disappointment and has allowed the fifth-most points to start the season. The Cleveland defense could let this game get away quickly, and they don’t have a strong enough passing game to keep up.
Total Odds: +554
