Okay BetUS sportsbook betting nation, with only two interconference games on the Week 8 docket, it’s time to find out which teams are offering the best value against their respective NFL lines.

The Detroit Lions host the Indianapolis Colts in the Motor City while the Miami Dolphins turn to rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in his NFL debut down in South Beach against Aaron Donald and the LA Rams.

Indianapolis Colts 4-2 at Detroit Lions 3-3

When: Sunday, November 1, 2020 at 1:00 PM ET

Where: Ford Field, Detroit, MI

TV: CBS

Week 8 NFL Betting Predictions: NFL Odds

Indianapolis Colts -3 

Moneyline

Colts -155

Lions +135

Total: 50

Indianapolis narrowly got past the Cincinnati Bengals 31-27 in a Week 6  matchup as Philip Rivers passed for 371 yards with three touchdowns and one interception while rookie running back Trey Burton added a touchdown run and catch in the win. The Colts defense sacked rookie quarterback Joe Burrow twice while picking off the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s NFL draft once.

Detroit handed the dysfunctional Atlanta Falcons a crushing 23-22 loss in their Week 7 matchup on Sunday as Matthew Stafford passed for 340 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions while rookie running back D’Andre Swift added a touchdown run in the win. The Lions defense sacked Matt Ryan twice while recovering one fumble in the hard-fought win.

Prediction

I know Detroit has won two straight, but I’m not at all impressed by their wins over the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars and Atlanta Falcons the last two weeks. More importantly, the Colts have an elite defense that ranks inside the top 5 across the board.

Detroit has gone 0-5 SU in its last five home games and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games. Indianapolis has gone 4-1 SU in their last five games and a consistent 13-5-1 ATS in their last 19 games in the month of November.

One interesting fact about this series that you should know is that, at least one team has reached the 30-point plateau in each of the last seven meetings with both franchises topping that figure in the last two meetings.

Detroit has gone 4-9 ATS mark in its last 13 games as an underdog, 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games overall. The Over is 3-1-1 in the last 5 meetings while the road team in this series has gone 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings. Indy’s defense leads the way to another victory by styming Matthew Stafford and Detroit’s 23rd-ranked offense.

Los Angeles Rams 3-3 at Miami Dolphins 2-3

When: Sunday, November 1, 2020 at 1:00 PM ET

Where: GHard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens FL

TV: CBS

Week 8 NFL Betting Predictions: NFL Odds

LA Rams -4

Moneyline

Rams -210

Dolphins +175

Total: 46

The Los Angeles Rams bounced back from loosing in a Week 6 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers to take down the Chicago Bears 24–10 on Monday night as Jared Goff passed for 219 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. The Rams defense shut down the Bears by limiting Chicago to just 49 rushing yards in the win to improve to 3-1 over their last four games.

Miami has won two straight and three of four, but head coach Brian Flores chose to bench veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick in favor of first round draft pick and future franchise quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. The Fins got past the awful New York Jets 24-0 in Week 6’s matchup as Fitzpatrick passed for 191 yards with three touchdowns, but two interceptions.

Predictions

While I like the way Miami is building their team for future success, I also wouldn’t wish for any quarterback to be making his first career start opposite the incomparable – and unstoppable – Aaron Donald.

While Miami has gone 5-0 ATS in their last five games following a bye week and a near-perfect 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall, the Rams have gone a blistering 10-4 ATS in their last 14 road games and 14-6-1 ATS in their last 21 games as a favorite.

Los Angeles ranks a stellar sixth in total defense, fifth against the pass and second in points allowed (17.7 ppg) and I believe they are going to make life tough on Tua in Week 8 to get the win and ATS cover.

Week 8 NFL Betting Predictions Pick: Rams 24  Dolphins 17
