NFL WEEK 8: Our official predictions for who wins this weekend

The Eagles almost looked like their Super Bowl selves last weekend before getting caught easing up on the gas too early. If they can't win in London, they'll drop to an unfathomable 3-5 on the season. Thankfully for them, things in Jacksonville are so bad that Blake Bortles got benched for Cody Kessler last week.

Four of Cleveland's seven games so far this year have gone to overtime. Two of their other three games were decided by four points are less. Say what you will about the Browns this year, but they can keep games close.

The Chiefs are on fire right now, but 10 points are simply too many to put up in a divisional game. The Broncos showed last week they can score in bunches, putting up 45 against the lowly Cardinals. If they can manage even half that, they have a good shot at covering.

The Jets lost badly to the Vikings last week, but the final score looked worse than the actual game. Chicago has shown an ability to light up underwhelming defenses, but after averaging 39 points per game over their past three. It feels like the Bears are due to cool off a bit.

This is the Giants' last game before their bye week, and it feels like there's too much on the line for them to lay another egg against a divisional opponent at home after getting routed by the Eagles just two weeks ago.

The Lions have won two straight behind a newly discovered rushing attack and a defense that appears to be figuring itself out at the right moment. Seattle is still a mess. They just had the blessing of playing against the Raiders last week.

The Bengals have been prone to hot starts and disappointing finishes in recent years, and after getting exposed by the Chiefs last week, it feels like their collapse could be coming soon.

Had it not been for the unthinkable occurrence of Justin Tucker's missed extra point, there's a good chance we'd have spent much of the week looking at the Ravens as giant-slayers for their effort against the Saints last week. Trust that they bounce back here and Tucker never misses again.

While I do my best to take the home dog every time, with Jon Gruden actively scrapping the Raiders and selling them for parts, it's tough to see Oakland getting up for this one.

These two teams just met three weeks ago in San Francisco, and the Cardinals won by 10. San Francisco has looked stronger in the games since then, but in a game between two bad teams, give me the one that won the first matchup and is playing at home.

Much has been made about how this is the biggest spread Aaron Rodgers has ever faced in the NFL. For that reason, bettors have been eagerly backing the Packers in early markets. But this is another one of those lines that looks so high it feels like Vegas knows something we don't. If the Packers were 6-point dogs, I think I'd be all over them here, but something doesn't feel right.

The Vikings seem to have shaken off their rust to play much like the team the NFL expected them to be, rattling on three straight wins. Now they get a chance to prove it in primetime against a Saints team that hasn't lost since Week 1. New Orleans has been close to perfect, but they showed some cracks last week against Baltimore, and this week I think Kirk Cousins takes full advantage.

Just like Derek Anderson here, sometimes when betting, it's best to just close your eyes and hope.
