NFL Week 8 Preview: Cleveland Browns vs. Baltimore Ravens

The Cleveland Browns are the worst team in the entire NFL. They have one win and six losses, and the biggest problem has been their offense. Their 109 points scored are among the worst so far this season, and now the situation has worsened with their starting quarterback out for the rest of the year due to injury. Deshaun Watson’s numbers had been poor, and now it will be Jameis Winston’s turn to try to turn the team’s fortunes around.

The Baltimore Ravens are having a great season, as after two initial losses, they have won their last five games. They have an explosive offense, but their defense leaves much to be desired, as their 180 points conceded place them among the worst in this category. Derrick Henry is the top rushing scorer this season with eight touchdowns, managing at least one in every game.

Browns vs. Ravens Betting Pick: Ravens

NFL Week 8 Preview: Detroit Lions vs. Tennessee Titans

The Detroit Lions are leading the NFC with a 5-1 record. They come into this game on a four-game winning streak and just handed the previously undefeated Minnesota Vikings a loss, beating them 29-31 on the road, thanks to Jared Goff, who had an 88% completion rate with 22 of 25 passes. Amon-Ra St. Brown caught a touchdown pass, marking his fourth consecutive game with a ground TD, unlike David Montgomery, who had rushed for a touchdown in every game but saw his streak end this past weekend.

The Tennessee Titans are among the worst teams this season with a 1-5 record, their only win coming against the Miami Dolphins. Much more was expected from Will Levis, but he has been a disappointment, ranking among the worst starting quarterbacks. His numbers in five games include 125 attempts, 83 completions, 699 yards, seven interceptions, and 15 sacks. In the last game against the Bills, Mason Rudolph played as quarterback due to his injury, showing some promising signs, which now leaves the starting QB position uncertain.

Lions vs. Titans Betting Pick: Lions

NFL Week 8 Preview: Las Vegas Raiders vs. Kansas City Chiefs

The Las Vegas Raiders suffered their third consecutive loss this weekend after falling 20-15 to the Los Angeles Rams, now holding a 2-5 record. It hasn’t been a good season for the team, but one standout player is Brock Bowers, who leads in some NFL categories and is on track to break the record for receptions by a rookie tight end. The last time they played against this opponent, they won.

The Kansas City Chiefs are the only undefeated team this season, having beaten the Ravens, Bengals, Falcons, Chargers, Saints, and 49ers last weekend, repeating the Super Bowl matchup. Patrick Mahomes hasn’t had his best season, but he remains not only a decisive player but also an imposing and intimidating figure. No single player has stood out above the rest, which speaks highly of the team. Their 103 points conceded make them one of the best defenses.

Raiders vs. Chiefs Betting Pick: Chiefs

NFL Week 8 Preview: Washington Commanders vs. Chicago Bears

Rookie quarterback showdown. The Washington Commanders have been one of the biggest surprises of the season with a 5-2 record, partly thanks to quarterback Jayden Daniels, who leads the NFL in completion percentage with 76%, averaging 18.1 completions per game. The rookie took a hit last weekend against the Carolina Panthers and left the game early. While it’s believed the injury isn’tserious, the team’s update is awaited this week.

After two consecutive losses, the Chicago Bears have bounced back with three straight wins, bringing their record to 4-2. Despite the positive record, they’re last in the NFC North, showing how difficult it will be to make the playoffs, and they need to keep winning. The Bears’ rise in performance can be largely credited to Caleb Williams. The 22-year-old quarterback had a rough start, likely due to rookie nerves, but he has been brilliant in his last four games, coming off a performance with four touchdown passes and a 79% completion rate against the Jaguars.

Commanders vs. Bears Betting Pick: Bears
