NFL Week 8 betting recap: The Seahawks and Falcons are actually first-place teams

Any bets on Seattle or Atlanta to win their divisions?

We’re through eight weeks of the NFL season, and the Seattle Seahawks and Atlanta Falcons are in first place in their respective divisions.

At this point, it’s probably time to get over the shock behind each team and accept that they both have a legitimate shot to stay on top considering how disappointing other teams have been this year.

Especially, the Seahawks, who improved to 5-3 with a win over the Giants and easily have the division’s best quarterback this year.

That said, both Atlanta and Seattle only have the second-best odds to win their divisions at BetMGM. The Seahawks (+300) are behind the 49ers (-140) in NFC West odds, and the Falcons (+260) are behind the Buccaneers (-135) in the NFC South. If you’re looking for some value in division winners, that’s where it’s at.

Here are a few more takeaways from Week 8.
