NFL Week 8 picks and predictions: Why you should consider Ravens and Packers on Sunday
Lorenzo Reyes is back with his best bets for NFL Week 8 games.
The NFL’s Sunday slate for Week 8 of the 2024 season is loaded, as 28 of the league’s 32 teams will be in action. The 49ers and Cowboys are squaring off in a historic rivalry; the Bears and Commanders are facing one another in a battle of two playoff hopefuls with strong rookie quarterbacks; and the Chiefs will look to remain the NFL’s only undefeated team in a rivalry matchup against the Raiders.
There are also plenty of injury concerns entering Week 8. Tua Tagovailoa and Jayden Daniels are both questionable for their contests while several other stars may also be out of action.
USA TODAY Sports will provide live updates on the latest actives and inactive players heading into NFL’s Week 7 1 p.m. ET slate of games on Sunday:
