NFL Week 8 betting preview: Which games to play now, and lines like Lions-Raiders to watch for value later

Well, our strategy of riding Unders – before it became a trend to do so – finally bit us in Week 7.

Las Vegas adjusted to the rise in Under bets by lowering numbers, and we got the short end of the stick. Garbage time in the Raiders game and an 80-yard screen pass to Gus Edwards kept us from having yet another profitable week. We're going back to the drawing board. There are some games that have caught my initial attention for Week 8, and some aspects of Monday's 49ers-Vikings game have piqued my interest as well.

Before you make any Week 8 picks, you'll want to see what NFL insider Jason La Canfora has to say. La Canfora has taken an early look at the games and found a number of best bets and lines to keep an eye on. One of the matchups he's monitoring? Lions-Raiders, which could offer big value later in the week.. You NEED to see his analysis before locking in any NFL picks of your own.

Jason also has a pair of best bets for tonight's action, which we'll share below.
