The Pittsburgh Steelers will try to make it three wins in a row when they host the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. The Steelers are coming off a 24-17 victory on the road against the Los Angeles Rams, while the Jaguars enter Sunday’s showdown having won their last four games. The latest Week 8 NFL odds from the SportsLine consensus list the Jaguars as two-point favorites on the road, one of the slimmest NFL spreads of the week.

The Jaguars have covered the spread in seven straight road games, but they’ve lost five of their last seven meetings against the Steelers. Should your Week 8 NFL bets include the Jaguars, or should you look elsewhere for value when making NFL picks against the spread? All of the Week 8 NFL lines are listed below, and SportsLine’s advanced computer model has all the NFL betting advice and NFL predictions you need to make the best Week 8 NFL picks now.

The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up well over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 8 of the 2023 NFL season on an incredible 173-122 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season. It is also on a 27-14 roll on top-rated NFL picks since Week 7 of last season.

The model also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past six years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 94% of CBS Sports Football Pick’em players four times during that span. Anyone who has followed it is way up.

Now, it has turned its attention to the latest Week 8 NFL odds and locked in picks for every NFL matchup. Head here to see every pick.

Top Week 8 NFL predictions

We can tell you one of the model’s strongest Week 8 NFL picks is that the Eagles (-7) cover against the Commanders. Philadelphia’s offense is firing on all cylinders this season, averaging 389.3 yards per game, which ranks third in the NFL. The Eagles average 142.7 yards per game on the ground, the fourth-best mark in the league.

The Commanders, meanwhile, have struggled on the defensive side of the ball. In fact, Washington enters Sunday’s NFC East rivalry ranked 29th in scoring defense (27.1) and total defense (374.1). In addition, the Commanders are 1-5 in their last six home games against Philadelphia, while the Eagles are 10-2 in their last 12 games on the road. SportsLine’s model expects those trends to continue on Sunday as the Eagles cover the spread in nearly 60% of simulations. See which other teams to pick here.

Another one of its Week 8 NFL predictions: The Lions (-8) cover the spread at home versus the Raiders on Monday Night Football. The Lions will have to shake off an embarrassing 38-6 loss at the hands of the Ravens last week, but it’s generally been a breakout season for one of the NFL’s most hard-luck franchises. Detroit is 5-2 and has one of the NFL’s most versatile offenses, ranking 11th in rushing, fourth in passing, fourth in total offense and eighth in scoring. The Lions also rank second in run defense.

Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (back) could return to action, but if he’s unable to go, Brian Hoyer or rookie Aidan O’Connell could be under center for the Raiders. That’s a big reason why the model predicts that Detroit covers the spread in over 50% of simulations. See which other teams to pick here.

The model has also made the call on who wins and covers in every other game on the Week 8 NFL schedule and revealed three coveted A-rated picks. You can only get every pick for every game at SportsLine.
