NFL Week 8 Schedule, Odds, and Predictions (2026)

The 2026 NFL Week 8 schedule opens with the Carolina Panthers visiting the Green Bay Packers on Thursday, Oct. 29, and runs through 14 games before the Chicago Bears visit the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night.

Sunday's slate includes Ravens-Bills, Vikings-Lions, Chiefs-Broncos, Patriots-Dolphins, and Eagles-Commanders. Unlike earlier weeks, early NFL Week 8 odds have not yet been posted for the games on the supplied board, so the initial outlook is based on the schedule and preliminary predictions rather than betting-market favorites.

Below is the complete NFL schedule for Week 8, followed by an early look at NFL Week 8 odds and predictions. Betting lines will become a more useful part of the analysis once sportsbooks begin posting Week 8 markets.

The Week 8 NFL schedule is lighter than a full 16-game slate, with 14 games scheduled. Sunday features eight games in the 1 p.m. ET window before three late-afternoon matchups and Eagles-Commanders on Sunday night. Panthers-Packers and Bears-Seahawks provide the standalone Thursday and Monday games.

NFL Week 8 Odds

Early NFL Week 8 odds have not yet been posted for the matchups on the supplied odds board. The board was reviewed Aug. 18, 2026, and no moneylines, point spreads, or game totals were available for Week 8.

That means there is not yet a reliable betting-market answer to questions such as who is favored to win Week 8 or which team is the biggest favorite. Assigning spreads or totals at this stage would require estimating numbers that sportsbooks have not posted.

Once available, NFL odds for Week 8 will provide an early market assessment of several notable matchups. Ravens-Bills, Vikings-Lions, Chargers-Rams, Chiefs-Broncos, Patriots-Dolphins, and Eagles-Commanders are among the games where the opening numbers should add useful context.

Those lines can also move considerably before kickoff. Injuries, roster developments, performance during the first seven weeks, and betting action can all affect spreads, moneylines, and totals.

NFL Week 8 Predictions

Early NFL Week 8 predictions should be treated differently from factual schedule information. With no odds available on the supplied board, these are preliminary analytical leans rather than market-based selections or guarantees.

Panthers at Packers: Green Bay gets the early lean at home. Without a posted Week 8 line, the matchup should be reassessed once the betting market provides additional context.

Ravens at Bills: Buffalo gets a slight nod at home. This projects as one of the more notable games on the Week 8 schedule, but no early spread or moneyline is available to indicate how sportsbooks separate the teams.

Titans at Bengals: Cincinnati gets the early prediction. The lack of a posted betting line means the strength of that lean will become clearer once Week 8 markets open.

Cardinals at Cowboys: Dallas gets the pick at home. No Week 8 odds were available on the supplied board, so this remains a preliminary selection.

Vikings at Lions: Detroit gets the early lean. This divisional matchup is another game where a posted spread will provide valuable context as kickoff approaches.

Colts at Jaguars: Jacksonville gets the prediction at home. No early odds are available, making this a matchup to revisit once sportsbooks establish a market.

Raiders at Jets: New York gets the early pick. With no moneyline or point spread currently posted, the prediction is not based on a Week 8 betting favorite.

Browns at Steelers: Pittsburgh gets the lean at home. Divisional matchups can produce tight markets, but there is not yet a posted Week 8 line to assess.

Falcons at Buccaneers: Tampa Bay gets the early prediction. The Buccaneers have home field, but the eventual betting line will provide a better indication of how closely the teams are viewed.

Chargers at Rams: The Rams get a narrow lean. No early odds are available for the Los Angeles matchup, making this one to reassess as Week 8 approaches.

Chiefs at Broncos: Kansas City gets the early prediction. The Chiefs are the preliminary selection, although no Week 8 spread or moneyline has been posted on the supplied board.

Patriots at Dolphins: New England gets the slight lean. With no betting market currently available, this prediction remains subject to significant revision based on the first seven weeks of the season.

Eagles at Commanders: Philadelphia gets the Sunday night prediction. No Week 8 odds were supplied for the matchup, so the selection is analytical rather than tied to a current market.

Bears at Seahawks: Seattle gets the Monday night lean at home. The absence of an early line makes this another matchup where updated odds will add important context closer to kickoff.

Who Is Favored to Win in NFL Week 8?

There is no betting favorite available yet for the Week 8 games on the supplied odds board. As of Aug. 18, 2026, the board does not list moneylines or point spreads for any of the 14 matchups.

That makes it too early to accurately identify the biggest Week 8 favorite or compare teams by their implied win probabilities. Once sportsbooks post numbers, the point spreads and moneylines will provide a clearer picture of which teams receive the strongest early market support.

Being favored also does not mean a team is certain to win. Point spreads reflect betting-market prices at a particular moment and can change substantially before kickoff.

What Are the Odds for NFL Week 8?

NFL Week 8 odds will generally include three primary markets: the moneyline, point spread, and game total. The spread measures the expected margin between the teams, the moneyline prices each team's chances of winning outright, and the total sets a number for the combined points scored by both teams.

As of Aug. 18, no Week 8 moneylines, spreads, or totals are listed on the supplied board. Rather than estimate numbers, the Week 8 odds section should be updated when sportsbooks begin posting markets.

Once available, those numbers will make it possible to identify the biggest favorites, closest games, highest totals, and potential betting-market movement across the Week 8 NFL schedule.

Who Is Predicted to Win Week 8 in the NFL?

Our sports betting app's early Week 8 NFL predictions lean toward Green Bay, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Dallas, Detroit, Jacksonville, the Jets, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay, the Rams, Kansas City, New England, Philadelphia, and Seattle.

Those selections are especially preliminary because there are no early Week 8 odds available on the supplied board. Results from the first seven weeks, injuries, roster changes, depth-chart decisions, and eventually the betting market can materially alter the outlook before kickoff.

The Week 8 schedule offers several notable matchups despite the absence of early odds, with Panthers-Packers opening the week and Bears-Seahawks closing it on Monday night. As kickoff approaches, updated NFL Week 8 odds and matchup-specific analysis will provide a clearer picture of where the strongest predictions and betting opportunities may be.
