NFL 2023 Week 8 lookahead lines, picks: Three games to bet a week early from proven NFL expert
Sportsbooks release their first lines for a given week 10-12 days out, and Mike Tierney shares how you can take advantage.
The good, the bad and the whatever. That sums up our lookahead picks on this week's NFL card.Â
The good was a mere half-point movement with the Baltimore-Detroit spread. It was significant for those of us who favored the Ravens, going from -2.5 to -3. Given how many games wind up with margins of three points, the mini-shift could prove significant.
As for the bad, we liked the Saints as a pick'em against Jacksonville, but New Orleans is now -1. Ties being a rarity, we can live with the fluctuation — unless the Saints prevail by a point.
Our final selection has not budged. We sided with Tampa Bay at -2.5 over Atlanta, thinking the line might mosey up to three. It is unchanged, but we can live with yielding anything less than a field goal.Â
Try these three games for Week 8 on for size.
