A full Sunday slate is upon us after fans were treated to a thrilling Thursday Night Football game between the Arizona Cardinals and Green Bay Packers. Below, we look at the NFL Week 8 player prop bets odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.
With teams like the Cincinnati Bengals surging up the power rankings, there are many must-see matchups Sunday. The Super Bowl-caliber Buffalo Bills are back in action. Will the Kansas City Chiefs’ steep decline continue? Week 8 will answer some questions.
Let’s dive into three player props to consider for those looking to bet on the games.
Week 8 prop bets picks
Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last update at 8:45 a.m. ET.
Bills QB Josh Allen OVER 2.5 passing TDs (-114)
The Buffalo Bills are coming off a bye and, at 4-2, should be looking to get hot for the second portion of their season. The Super Bowl contenders are led by a top-three MVP favorite QB Josh Allen.
Allen started off the season slow but has since heated up.
He’s had 3 or more touchdowns in three of the team’s last four games. Without much of a run game, betting on Allen with a trio of elite receivers should be easy to understand.
The Dolphins rank 31st in points per game allowed. Allen should be able to take advantage against a struggling Miami team as I expect the Bills to put points on the board.

Panthers QB Sam Darnold UNDER 242.5 passing yards (-114)
The Carolina Panthers have no idea what they’re doing offensively. The team at least looked competent when RB Christian McCaffrey was in the lineup, oftentimes targeting him more than their receivers.
However, they’ve lost four straight and look confused offensively with Darnold not getting much protection or help.
Darnold threw for just 112 yards last week and has been under 210 yards in each of his last three outings. He had four straight games of over 275 yards to start the season, showing the impact of McCaffrey.
Without McCaffrey again in Week 8, there shouldn’t be much hope that Darnold can abuse a weak Atlanta Falcons secondary.

Rams QB Matthew Stafford OVER 2.5 passing TDs (+109)
When the Rams score, like the Bills, it’s typically on the back of star quarterback Matthew Stafford. Stafford has been electric as of late, throwing for 3 or more touchdowns in his last two straight games.
He’s hit at least 3 touchdowns in the majority of games this season. They’ll be taking on the Houston Texans, who rank 27th in points allowed per game and rank 18th in passing yards allowed per game.
Given that combination, I think Stafford throwing for 3 touchdowns is a safe bet.
