***Articles Taken From "The Las Vegas Sporting News" Week #8 & "Caesars Palace sports book Synopsis" and "Sporting News Today". Here Are Some Interesting Facts and Summaries, you might like to look at RX Members for week # 8 In The NFL.
Three losers deserving of another chance in Week 8
1. Tampa Bay (vs. Minnesota). When last seen in action, the Buccaneers were humiliated by the Ravens in a 48-17 loss on Oct. 12. However, the Bucs come off a bye, and they have shown they can shake off a poor performance. After all, their only victory of the season (Week 4 at Pittsburgh) came after their 56-14 “Thursday Night Football” debacle in Atlanta — and it also came after having extended preparation time.
2. Chicago (vs. New England). The Bears are inconsistent, but they still have that skilled offense, and they are getting nearly a touchdown at New England. If you’re going to back Chicago, you might as well take some points for your trouble. And you might as well do it when the Bears are on the road. Chicago is 3-1 straight-up and against the number away from Soldier Field this season.
3. Tennessee (vs. Houston). Tennessee opened a 1-point underdog at home to Houston, though they could be tough to take wheeling back in six days for their second straight road game. The Titans are 1-2 straight-up and against the number in October, but all three games have been settled by less than a field goal.
Three winners to stay away from in Week 8
1. Miami (at Jacksonville). Here’s the theory: Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill isn’t as good as he looked in a sparkling performance against Chicago on Sunday, and Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles will likely improve off a three-pick game in a victory against Cleveland. Any regression from Tannehill won’t help Miami’s chances of covering a 5-point spread against Jacksonville, which has turned in its two best defensive performances of the season in succession. The young Jaguars finally got a win in Week 7 and could be tough for the Dolphins to shake.
2. Kansas City (vs. St. Louis). Upon closer inspection, the Rams’ form is starting to look a little better. Of their four losses, only the Week 1 defeat vs. Minnesota looks exceedingly bad. Narrow defeats to the Cowboys and Eagles appear better and better, given how well those clubs have gone on to play. And in the 14-point loss to San Francisco, the Rams blew a first-half lead. Finally, the Rams showed some resilience shrugging off the defeat to the 49ers to upset Seattle on Sunday. As underdogs of 6 points Sunday vs. the Chiefs, the Rams could hold some appeal. Here’s a stat to ponder: Andy Reid-coached clubs are 24-26 against the number (48 percent) as favorites of 6 points when coming off a victory.
3. Denver (vs. San Diego). Want to back the Broncos after their impressive Sunday night win vs. San Francisco? It’s going to cost you. The Broncos are 7.5-point favorites vs. the Chargers, who have played Denver tough in Peyton Manning’s time in Denver. Note that the Chargers held the ball for more than 38 minutes in the two 2013 regular season matchups with the Broncos and split the season series, winning at Denver in December on a Thursday night. Of course, in the postseason, the Broncos flipped the script, winning time of possession in a 24-17 victory. Nevertheless, the Chargers have shown they can string some drives together against Denver. And that's a good skill to have against a Manning-led ofense.
Five trends to know in Week 8
1. The Patriots are 8-1 straight-up and 7-2 against the spread the game after playing on Thursday in Bill Belichick’s tenure.
2. The Saints are 18-3 straight-up and 14-6-1 against the number in home games with a total of 50 points or more in Sean Payton’s tenure.
3. The Falcons are 0-5 straight-up and against the number against non-divisional competition this season.
4. The OVER is 6-1 in Thursday night games this season.
5. The Browns’ surprising and shaky 27-7 loss to Jacksonville on Sunday continued a trend worth monitoring. Overall, the four teams led by first-time head coaches — Cleveland, Houston, Minnesota and Washington — are 2-7 straight-up and 4-4-1 against the spread in the game after a victory this season.
