NFL Week 8 early odds: Aaron Rodgers a double-digit underdog for first time in his career in Packers-Bills

Powered by Caesars Sportsbook

As you may expect, quarterbacks were the main story of Week 7. Both Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers fell on the road despite being favored and neither offense looks particularly full of life at the moment. On a more positive note, Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes lit it up in their respective games, tossing for over 400 yards each. As we wrap up Week 7, we have a couple of first-rounders from the 2021 NFL Draft ready to duke it out on in Mac Jones and Justin Fields, which should end things on an entertaining note. 

While there is still one more game to go, it’s never too early to look at what’s to come in Week 8. Below, we’ll take our first glimpse of these matchups and get our impression of the opening lines for these games to see if there is anything they can tell us about who the oddsmakers see coming out on top. 

Note: The Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers are on the bye in Week 8

Latest Odds:

Tampa Bay Buccaneers
+1.5

Opening line: Buccaneers -4

Tampa Bay sat as a 4-point favorite way back in the spring but ticked down to a 3-point favorite on the lookahead last week. That held throughout the week but swung rather dramatically following the events of Week 7, which includes the Bucs’ loss as 13-point favorites to the Panthers. Now, Tom Brady’s club is a 1-point home dog to Lamar Jackson and the Ravens on Thursday night. The Bucs are 0-5 ATS in their last five games overall and 0-4 ATS in their last four games at Raymond James Stadium. Baltimore hasn’t been a particularly strong team to bet on as a whole this season, but they are better on the road and sport a 2-1 ATS record outside of M&T Bank Stadium.
