"Week 8 gets underway with a matchup of playoff teams from a season ago, as the Minnesota Vikings visit the Los Angeles Chargers on "Thursday Night Football." There are 10 afternoon games Sunday, and the "Sunday Night Football" matchup features Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers hosting the Green Bay Packers, the franchise Rodgers won a Super Bowl with and built his Hall of Fame resume."
"Bowen: Baker Mayfield has played at an extremely high level this season, but I'm leaning on the Tampa Bay defense and their ability to pressure/change the post-snap picture versus Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler. In the Week 7 loss to the Chicago Bears, Rattler threw three interceptions, and the Bucs can force him to play frenetically in the pocket. Todd Bowles' unit ranks in the top 10 in both blitz and pressure rate. Tampa covers the 5.5 on the road this Sunday."
Week 8 NFL schedule features a Thursday Night matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Chargers, 10 Sunday afternoon games, and marquee prime-time contests. Sunday Night pairs Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers hosting the Green Bay Packers, and Monday Night matches the Washington Commanders and Kansas City Chiefs. Six teams have byes: Detroit Lions, Las Vegas Raiders, Los Angeles Rams, Arizona Cardinals, Seattle Seahawks and Jacksonville Jaguars. Analysts identified early Week 8 odds worth jumping on before lines shift. One recommendation favors Tampa Bay's defense to pressure Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler after his three-interception Week 7 game, citing top-10 blitz and pressure rates and a 5.5-point road cover.
