NASCAR playoffs Round of 8 at Martinsville picks, preview: Why Bubba Wallace could win first Cup series race - CBS Sports
The stakes are as high as they've been in NASCAR this season as the playoffs Round of 8 wraps up at Martinsville. Entering the race only one thing is guaranteed: Joey Logano, who won at Kansas, will be racing for a championship next week at Phoenix.
Three additional three spots in the Championship 4 are up for grabs on Sunday. As it stands, Kevin Harvick, Denny Hamlin and Brad Keselowski are the four drivers above the cutline while Alex Bowman, Chase Elliott, Martin Truex Jr. and Kurt Busch are on the outside looking in. All can clinch by winning and all but Busch can clinch on points with a solid finish and the right pieces falling into place.
Wondering who to wager on this weekend? Have no fear, we've got you covered. Below are our picks for Sunday's Xfinity 500 at Martinsville.
All odds via William Hill Sportsbook
Pick to win: Kyle Busch (+700)
You expected us to pick a playoff driver didn't you? Well, technically we did, but it's also technically a driver that was eliminated in the last round of the playoffs. He also just earned his first win of the season just days ago at Texas.
If Busch was still in contention for the Championship 4, he may be a co-favorite with Martin Truex Jr. (+300) to win. Instead, he provides value as one of the top drivers in the field. While Truex and Keselowski (+550) both have something more to race for and an average finish of 6.6 at Martinsville over the past 10 races, there is one driver with a better average finish and that's Busch.
The past two trips to 'The Paperclip' were not typical Busch performances as he finished 14th and 19th respectively. In the eight starts prior to that, Busch won twice and averaged a finish inside the top three. He's that good here. Couple that with the fact that his crew chief, Adam Stevens, is in a prove-it situation to keep his job atop the No. 18 team's box and there's plenty of motivation for Busch to get another win.
While Truex and Keselowski may be the favorites, Busch is a strong value play given his track record. Another driver among the favorites we'd consider would be Ryan Blaney at +900. Blaney is another non-playoff driver but finished second at Martinsville earlier this season and has three straight top-five finishes at the track.
Long shot with some value: Bubba Wallace +20000
We wanted to give you a real long shot with value here. For what it's worth, guys like Kurt Busch (+2500), William Byron (+2800), and Clint Bowyer (+3000) have some good value down the board but they're odds really aren't long enough to be considered big value plays.
Bubba draws a long shot price partly due to the fact that he's starting near the rear of the field in 32nd. Of course he's also a long shot because he hasn't won a race yet in his career. However, this season in particular, Wallace has outperformed his equipment on multiple occasions. One of those occasions was earlier this year at Martinsville where Wallace drove parts of the race inside the top 10 before finishing 11th.
Most, including Kurt Busch, don't expect Wallace to win until 2022, a year after he joins Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin's 23XI Racing team, but this could be an opportunity for him to put an exclamation point on his rollercoaster season. It would also generate buzz around the sport heading into the championship race as Wallace was named the most known driver in NASCAR right now per a new Morning Consult survey.
We're not saying Wallace is going to win the race but could be worth a small wager with a high payout, much like we saw with Cole Custer earlier this season. One bettor cashed out $25,000 on a $100 Custer bet at Kentucky in July.
Best DFS Value Plays
When putting together a daily fantasy lineup, you're going to put in your dominators. These are the guys like Truex, Keselowski, Kevin Harvick, Denny Hamlin, Chase Elliott, Ryan Blaney, Joey Logano and Kyle Busch. Our recommendation is to play different lineups with mixtures of these drivers depending on who you like.
Busch provides good value this week at $9,600 in DraftKings and $11,800 in FanDuel. He's amongst the lowest priced dominators in the field. Obviously he's our pick to win and will be in our DFS lineups. We mentioned Blaney earlier and he could be a good pairing with Busch in a contrarian lineup.
In terms of the mid-range drivers, Aric Almirola ($8,700 FD, $8,100 DK) and William Byron ($9,800 FD, $7,700 DK) are recommended plays. Almirola drives top-10 equipment and will be scored from the 20th position, meaning you can capitalize on place differential. His past two starts have been forgettable at Martinsville, but prior to that he had three straight top-15 finishes. As for Byron, his place differential isn't as attractive starting 13th but he has two straight top 10s at the track including a runner-up finish last season.
Our long shot pick to win, Wallace, is going to draw high ownership starting 32nd with a price of $7,200 in DraftKings and $7,000 in FanDuel. We strongly recommend giving high exposure to Wallace, who has top-10 potential. The other low priced option we like is Chris Buescher, who will be scored from the 28th position. Buescher likely isn't a threat to win the race but has two straight top-13 finishes at Martinsville which if he can repeat will mean a big payday. He is priced at $6,700 in DraftKings and $6,600 in FanDuel.
Driver matchup picks
Here are picks for head-to-head finishes at Martinsville. Drivers in bold are our picks to win each matchup.
- Denny Hamlin (-145) vs Chase Elliott (+125)
- Martin Truex Jr. (-150) vs Brad Keselowski (+130)
- Kyle Busch (-110) vs Ryan Blaney (-110)
- Alex Bowman (-135) vs Kurt Busch (+115)
- Jimmie Johnson (+100) vs Clint Bowyer (-120)
- Ryan Newman (-120) vs Bubba Wallace (+100)
- Aric Almirola (+100) vs Matt DiBenedetto (-120)
- Christopher Bell (+110) vs Austin Dillon (-130)
- Erik Jones (-125) vs Tyler Reddick (+105)
Top matchup play: Bowyer to finish ahead of Johnson
Championship 4 predictions
Joey Logano is already locked into the playoffs, so that makes the first part easy. We have Kyle Busch winning the race, so that means the final three spots will be clinched on points. If you've been following along and paid close attention to the matchup picks, we have actually already revealed our Championship 4.
We don't predict any major hiccups for Harvick, Hamlin or Keselowski, meaning they're our picks to advance through solid finishing positions. All should be in position to earn stage points throughout the race and be there towards the end to hold their ground.
Come back to CBS Sports next week once the field is set and we will reveal who we believe will win the championship race at Phoenix.

Phillip Lindsay, Tim Patrick questionable for Broncos’ Week 8 game against Chargers - The Denver Post
Entering Sunday’s must-win game against the Chargers, the status of a couple of the Broncos’ main offensive catalysts is still in question.
Broncos coach Vic Fangio said running back Phillip Lindsay, who suffered a concussion in last week’s blowout loss to Kansas City, still has to complete one more test with the independent concussion protocol in order to be cleared for Sunday.
“We’ll find out on Phillip later (on Saturday),” Fangio said. “He was a full participant in everything (on Saturday).”
After missing three games with a toe injury earlier this season, Lindsay suffered the concussion late in the first half last week, when he took a hard shot near the head by Chiefs safety Daniel Sorenson. Having rushed for 79 yards at that point, the 26-year-old was on pace for his second 100-yard game in three games played this year, after scampering for 101 yards in a Week 6 win in New England.
Meanwhile, the Broncos also might be without wideout Tim Patrick, who leads the team with 354 receiving yards but did not practice this week due to a hamstring injury.
“We won’t know on Tim until (Sunday),” Fangio said. “We may work him before the game, but he’s definitely questionable.”
Patrick’s absence would mean more weight on the shoulders of rookie wideouts Jerry Jeudy and KJ Hamler, as the Broncos are also without Diontae Spencer (will miss his second straight game with a shoulder injury) on top of losing Courtland Sutton to a season-ending knee injury in Week 2.
Reshuffled O-line. With starting right guard Graham Glasgow on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, fellow offensive linemen Demar Dotson and Austin Schlottmann were in self-isolation this week — and were estimated as non-participants for Friday’s practice that was pushed to Saturday due to Glasgow’s positive test.
But both Dotson and Schlottmann were at practice Saturday, which is good news for a unit that already lost one starter to a season-ending injury in Elijah Wilkinson. On Sunday against Los Angeles, Dotson will start at right tackle (as he’s done since Wilkinson went down in Week 3) and Schlottmann at right guard in place of Glasgow.
“They’re both cleared to go, which is a credit to them and the entire operation here,” Fangio said. “They were cleared because we’ve been under these (intensive) protocols, and we’ve chosen voluntarily to be under those intensive protocols.”
Schlottmann played 32 snaps in Denver’s Week 6 win in New England in place of an injured Dalton Risner, and he made four starts at right guard last year after spending his rookie season in 2018 on the practice squad.
“We feel good about Schlottmann,” Fangio said. “He’ll do a good job.”
Cox gets the call. With Andrew Beck out with a hamstring injury, Fangio said Jeremy Cox will be promoted to the 53-man roster Sunday. Cox will fill the fullback role in Beck’s absence.
Cox, who had twice previously been elevated to the active roster on game day only to return to the practice squad, has used up that eligibility. Now, if he gets sent back to the practice squad again, per NFL rules the Broncos will have to expose him to waivers.
“He’s a good, young player who has potential,” Fangio said. “Obviously he’s had to be thrown into the fire here with not much work… There isn’t a lot of time he’s been in there in live situations. But we like his potential and where he’s at, and I’m anxious to see him play.”
Cox was initially signed by the Broncos to a futures contract on Dec. 31, 2019, after entering the NFL out of Old Dominion as a college free agent with the Chargers earlier in that year. Los Angeles eventually waived him before the season started.
Other injury updates. Outside linebacker Jeremiah Attaochu (quad) and tight end Jake Butt (hamstring) were limited in practice all week and are questionable for Sunday.

Patriots vs. Bills odds, line, spread: NFL picks, Week 8 predictions from model on 111-72 roll - CBS Sports
The New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills face off in a Week 8 battle between AFC East foes. Cam Newton and the Patriots hit the road to face a stiff test against Josh Allen and the Bills. Buffalo enters with a 5-2 record, while New England has struggled to a 2-4 mark. Kick-off is at 1 p.m. ET in Buffalo.
William Hill lists the Bills as four-point home favorites, while the Over-Under, or total number of points Vegas thinks will be scored, is 41 in the latest Patriots vs. Bills odds, down five from the opener. Before you make any Bills vs. Patriots picks and NFL predictions, you should see what SportsLine's advanced computer model has to say.
The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up over $7,800 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception five-plus years ago. It's off to a strong 15-7 roll on top-rated NFL picks this season. The model also enters Week 8 on an incredible 111-72 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season.

Now, the model has set its sights on Patriots vs. Bills. You can head to SportsLine to see its picks. Now, here are several NFL lines and trends for Bills vs. Patriots:
- Patriots vs. Bills spread: Bills -4

- Patriots vs. Bills money line: Bills -210, Patriots +180
- NE: Patriots are 2-4 against the spread this season
- BUF: Over has hit in four of six Bills games this season
Why the Patriots can cover
The Patriots are struggling, but they can find solace in a few strengths. New England ranks fourth in the NFL in rushing offense, producing 155.0 yards per game on the ground, and quarterback Cam Newton is a force in the running game. The former NFL MVP has 244 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns this season, with Newton helping to bolster a 5.0 yards-per-carry average for the Patriots as a team.
Defensively, New England is also steady, including an above-average mark against the pass. The Patriots are allowing only 228.2 yards per game through the air, and New England is tied for third-best in the NFL in averaging 1.33 interceptions per game.
The Patriots also land at No. 3 in the league in net punting average (46.8 yards per punt), and special teams could play a crucial part in a game projected to be decided by a narrow margin.
Why the Bills can cover
The Bills bring a high-powered offense to the table, led by an explosive passing attack. Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen has 2,018 passing yards already this season with 16 touchdowns and only four interceptions. He ranks fourth in the NFL in both passing yards and touchdowns, and is also a threat on the ground, with 1,345 rushing yards and 20 touchdowns in only 35 career games.
Buffalo is also elite at moving the chains on offense, converting 52.4 percent of third-down opportunities. Defensively, Buffalo has regressed from its strong form in 2019, but this is a favorable matchup. The Patriots are last in the NFL in both passing touchdowns (three) and interceptions thrown (11), while New England also ranks in a tie for last in quarterback rating (65.1) and in the bottom five in passing offense (197.2 yards per game).

Chiefs vs. Jets odds, line, spread: NFL picks, Week 8 predictions from model on 111-72 roll - CBS Sports
Teams on opposite ends of the AFC standings meet when the New York Jets visit the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Kansas City (6-1) has won two in a row after dropping its only game of the season to Las Vegas on Oct. 11. New York (0-7), meanwhile, is the only winless team remaining in the league. The Chiefs have won two of the past three meetings in the series, although the Jets won the last game, 38-31, at New York on Dec. 3, 2017.
Kickoff from Arrowhead Stadium is set for 1 p.m. ET. The Chiefs are 19.5-point favorites in the latest Chiefs vs. Jets odds from William Hill, while the over-under for total points scored is 49. Before making any Jets vs. Chiefs picks, check out the NFL predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.
The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up over $7,800 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception five-plus years ago. It's off to a strong 15-7 roll on top-rated NFL picks this season. The model also enters Week 8 on an incredible 111-72 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season.
The model ranked in the Top 10 on NFLPickWatch three of the past four years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 95 percent of CBS Sports office pool players three times during that span. Anyone who has followed it is way up.
Now, the model has set its sights on Chiefs vs. Jets. You can visit SportsLine now to see the picks. Here are the NFL lines and trends for Jets vs. Chiefs:
- Chiefs vs. Jets spread: Chiefs -19.5
- Chiefs vs. Jets over-under: 49 points
- Chiefs vs. Jets money line: Jets +1200, Chiefs -2800
- NYJ: CB Pierre Desir leads the Jets with three interceptions
- KC: Chiefs are fifth in the league in scoring at 31.1 points per game
Why the Chiefs can cover
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes is looking for his third game in a row with a 105 or better rating with no interceptions. Mahomes has thrown multiple touchdown passes in six of seven games this season. He is the only player in the league with 10-plus touchdowns (16) and one interception this season.
Rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire continues to impress and had one rushing touchdown last week. He has 309 yards from scrimmage in three career home games. He ranks second in the NFL in yards from scrimmage (745) and rushing yards (551) this year.
He will be complemented in the backfield by recently-signed veteran Le'Veon Bell, who rushed for 39 yards last week in his Chiefs debut. In his last home game against the Jets as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Bell had 154 yards from scrimmage (Oct. 9, 2016).
Why the Jets can cover
Despite that, Kansas City is not a lock to cover the Jets vs. Chiefs spread. That's because New York has done a strong job of creating turnovers with 10, tied for eighth-best in the league, and has a plus-two turnover differential, ninth-best in the NFL. Desir is one of the Jets' top defenders and has registered 37 tackles, including 29 solo. He has 1.5 tackles for loss, six pass breakups and three picks, including one returned for a touchdown.
Offensively, the Jets are led by quarterback Sam Darnold, who is looking for his fifth straight road game with a touchdown pass. Darnold can also make plays with his feet and is third on the team in rushing with 14 carries for 117 yards (8.4 average) and one touchdown.
How to make Jets vs. Chiefs picks
SportsLine's model is leaning over on the total. In fact, it says Mahomes will pass for more than 300 yards and three touchdowns, while Darnold will throw for nearly 200 yards and a score. It has also generated a strong against-the-spread pick that cashes in well over 50 percent of simulations. You can only get the pick here.
So who wins Jets vs. Chiefs? And which side of the spread cashes in well over 50 percent of simulations? Visit SportsLine now to see which side of the Jets vs. Chiefs spread to jump on Sunday, all from the advanced model that is up well over $7,800 on its NFL picks over the past five seasons, and find out.

Alabama Soccer Falls to No. 8 Texas A&M on Senior Night - rolltide.com
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The Alabama women's soccer team fell Friday night to No. 8 Texas A&M by a final score of 2-0 at the Alabama Soccer Stadium.
The Aggies (5-1-0) got off to a hot start scoring in the opening minute, leaving the Crimson Tide (1-4-2) to chase the game the remaining 89. Texas A&M registered a corner kick within seconds, where Jimena Lopez redirected it onto the boot of Taylor Pounds for the first goal of the match.
Coming out of the half, Alabama was the more assertive side and held the majority of possession during the opening 15 minutes of play, spending most of its time in Texas A&M's defensive third.
In the 62nd, Riley Mattingly took a look from the top of the box nearly finding the corner, she finished with two shots on the night.
With UA fighting for an equalizer, the Aggies found a way to double their lead in the 67th minute, Barbara Oliveieri completed a give to Laney Carroll to make it 2-0, which would be the final score.
Behind the Box
- Throughout the match, Alabama received quality minutes from Felicia Knox within the midfield, as the rookie was instrumental in creating attacking opportunities from the center of the field as well as out along the touchlines.
- Knox finished the night with a pair of shots, while Macy Clem, Reyna Reyes and Carly Wyatt tallied a shot a piece.
- McKinley Crone had the aforementioned two saves in the loss.
- The Aggies held the advantage in shots on goal, 10-7 and led in corners 10-4.
Up Next
The Crimson Tide will wrap up the regular fall season at Auburn Nov. 8, before heading to the SEC Tournament in Orange Beach, Ala.

Asian Americans could be tiebreakers in key swing states, survey and early voting results show - NBC News
But this year, more than 50 percent of swing state constituents say they feel “much more enthusiastic” about voting than before, suggesting that Asian Americans could make a bigger impact on Election Day. Early turnout seems to support this idea: The group has so far cast about a half-million more absentee and early ballots than it did four years ago, according to the data consulting firm Catalist. Of the 1.8 million people who voted, a third abstained in 2016. This growth is most pronounced among 18- to 29-year-olds, who have cast roughly 330,000 ballots — a nearly 400 percent increase from 2016.
This willingness to participate in the political process, the survey shows, can be partly attributed to a fraught socioeconomic climate. Asian Americans in the 10 competitive states rank jobs and health care as the top two election issues. Immigration, college affordability and voter suppression — concerns that typically occupy top spots — are still considered important but have been superseded by the pandemic. At the same time, respondents find more abstract concepts, like a sense of civic duty, moral responsibility and faith in democracy, to be stronger motivators to vote than displeasure toward President Donald Trump and his perceived policy failures.
“It’s clear AAPI voters don’t like Trump,” said Fred Yang, a Democratic pollster and partner at the Garin-Hart-Yang Research Group, the polling firm that conducted the study. “But their dislike of Trump is not enough to make them vote.”
In general, respondents favor former Vice President Joe Biden over Trump by wide margins. But mobilizing young people to vote, Pugh and Yang say, can be the key to turning swing states blue. Nearly 70 percent of young Asian Americans support Biden, compared to just 49 percent of seniors. “We need to motivate young people to vote more because they’re more likely to vote Democrat,” Yang said, adding that one goal of the study was to hone in on messaging that fuels youth turnout.
Pugh credits the Biden campaign for aggressively ramping up in-language outreach to AAPI communities, which has been instrumental in generating interest in civic participation. His staff has invested in a host of creative and culturally sensitive initiatives, from running targeted ads in local ethnic media to hiring bilingual Asian outreach directors across the country. “I’ve been doing politics for three decades and have never seen this robust level of engagement,” Pugh said. “It’s kind of our time.”
Ultimately, she said, gathering data on AAPI constituents, especially those in regions with smaller Asian populations, should be an ongoing effort to ensure every community feels seen. The NEA has been collecting data for a post-election national poll, which is expected to be released next month. Along with general turnout numbers, it’ll provide a snapshot of the issues and circumstances that motivated most people to vote—points that can inform future outreach.
“Our community has been overlooked and underresourced for way too long,” Pugh said. “Having the data element is an important part in running more sophisticated programs and highlighting us in a way that should be more commensurate with our population growth.”

No. 3 Rifle Returns to Action Saturday vs. No. 8 NC State - University of Kentucky Athletics - UKAthletics
"We are very excited about having our first head-to-head match on Saturday," said UK head coach Harry Mullins. "The team has been working hard and it will be nice to put what we have been working on to a test. This is our first head-to-head match of the year and it's strange to say that this late into the fall season, but I think the team is really excited to compete."
Kentucky has started its season with three virtual wins over Akron, Morehead State and Army. The Wildcats started the season with a 4715 team score against the Zips while two weekends ago they posted a 4709 virtually against the Black Knights and Eagles. The strong start has Kentucky currently ranked No. 3 in the Collegiate Rifle Coaches Association Top 20 rankings.
Against Morehead State and Army, the Wildcats started the match with a 2338 team score in smallbore and followed with a season-high mark of 2371 in air rifle for a final score of 4709. It was junior Will Shaner that paced the Wildcats in both disciplines, earning a 591 in smallbore and 599 in air rifle. Both marks were season highs for Shaner, while his impressive air rifle score tied a career high. Sophomore Mary Tucker had another strong showing with a 589 in smallbore and 597 in air rifle. Senior Hailee Sigmon scored a 580 in smallbore and 584 in air rifle while junior Richard Clark posted a 578 in smallbore and 590 in air rifle. Sophomores Jaden Thompson and Emmie Sellers performed well with Thompson scoring a 576 in smallbore and 591 in air rifle while Sellers secured a career-best 579 in smallbore and 584 in air rifle.
NC State enters the weekend with a 1-1 record after dropping its first match of the year at Navy, 4670-4665. The Wolfpack responded the following week by taking down North Georgia at home, 4673-4590. NC State's match last week vs. Akron was canceled. Addy Burrow is leading the team so far this season with an aggregate average of 1177.0 while Emily Fisher is averaging a 1170.

Top NFL football knockout, survivor pool picks, strategy for Week 8, 2020 - CBS Sports
If you've made it this far in your NFL survivor pool, you know the value of planning. But if you have used the common NFL survivor strategy of backing the top teams or fading the bottom-feeders, you will need to do more work this week. The most enticing matchup for your NFL survivor pool picks looks like the Chiefs, a team already off many players' boards, laying 19.5 points at home against the Jets, a perennial target for players looking to advance.
The Bucs (-10.5 at Giants), Packers (-6.5 vs. Minnesota) and Titans (-5.5 at Cincinnati) are also potential NFL knockout pool picks. The Bills (-3.5) also could be an option, hosting a New England team suddenly in disarray, but can you go against Bill Belichick with your NFL football pool picks? How about the Rams (-4) in Miami against rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa? Before making any Week 8 NFL survivor picks, see which team the red-hot SportsLine Projection Model recommends.
The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up over $7,800 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception five-plus years ago. It's off to a strong 15-7 roll on top-rated NFL picks this season. And it enters Week 8 on an incredible 111-72 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season.
The model ranked in the Top 10 on NFLPickWatch in three of the past four years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 95 percent of CBS Sports office pool players three times during that span.
The model can be used to crush the survivor pool format. Each week, the available team winning the most computer simulations has prevailed straight-up. Last week, it backed the Bills, who handled the Jets 18-10. You can only see who it's backing this week here.
Top Week 8 NFL survivor pool predictions
For Week 8, the model is shying away from the 5-1 Titans even though they're winning 68 percent of simulations against 1-5-1 Cincinnati. The 5-1 Titans fought to the end in a 27-24 loss to Pittsburgh at home, but they could be primed for a letdown, so the model recommends steering clear this week.
The model shows Tennessee winning in 68 percent of simulations in Cincinnati, but the Bengals (1-5-1) can be dangerous. Rookie quarterback Joe Burrow has energized the team and is third in the league with 2,021 passing yards.
The Bengals have been in almost every game this season, and the Titans' defense allows more than 400 yards per game. With receivers like Tyler Boyd, Tee Higgins and A.J. Green facing a pass defense that ranks 26th in the league, Burrow could have a big day. The Titans have games at Jacksonville and home against Detroit in coming weeks, so you should save them.
How to make Week 8 NFL survivor pool picks
Instead, the model is backing a team that's better than its record. Picking this team not only will get you to Week 9, it will also put you in the optimal position to go deep in your NFL survivor pool. The time to pick this team is now, and you can only see the play over at SportsLine.
Which surprising team is a must-back in your Week 8 survivor pool? Visit SportsLine now to see which team carries you to victory in Week 8, all from the advanced computer model that consistently crushes the NFL and advanced with the Bills last week.

NFL football pool, pick'em, office pool, confidence picks for Week 8, 2020: Back the Packers - CBS Sports
Divisional matchups highlight the Week 8 NFL schedule, with Steelers vs. Ravens, Vikings vs. Packers, 49ers vs. Seahawks and Eagles vs. Cowboys peppering the slate. Despite being the only undefeated team remaining in the NFL, the Steelers enter Sunday's AFC North battle as 3.5-point underdogs, according to the latest NFL odds from William Hill. Pittsburgh is 5-1 against the spread in its last six games, but the Steelers are just 2-6-1 against the number in their last nine meetings against the Ravens. Which side should you back with your NFL office pool picks?
Meanwhile, the Seahawks are favored by three in their NFC West battle against the 49ers. Will Seattle bounce back from its first loss of the season or will San Francisco win its third straight game? And with only two games featuring double-digit NFL spreads, there will be some extremely tough calls for your Week 8 NFL confidence pool picks. Before you make your NFL predictions, you need to see the Week 8 NFL football pool picks from SportsLine's proven model.
This model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, ranked in the Top 10 on NFLPickWatch in three of the past four years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 95 percent of CBS Sports office pool players three times during that span. It's off to a hot 74-30 start to the 2020 season, and anyone who has followed it is way up.
Now, the model has simulated the entire Week 8 2020 NFL schedule 10,000 times and generated its optimal NFL pick'em plays. Go to SportsLine to see them.
Top Week 8 NFL office pool predictions
One of the top Week 8 NFL pick'em predictions from the model: Green Bay gets a comfortable win at home against Minnesota. Green Bay has been sensational at Lambeau Field, winning its last eight home games. Minnesota, meanwhile, limps into Sunday's NFC North battle having won just one game this season.
Green Bay also dominated the Vikings earlier this season, beating Minnesota 43-34 in Week 1. Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers had a field day against Minnesota's defense that day, throwing for 364 yards and four touchdowns. Wide receiver Davante Adams also had a big day in Green Bay's Week 1 win, hauling in 14 receptions for 156 yards and two scores.
SportsLine's model predicts Green Bay's offense will pile up big numbers again on Sunday, as Rodgers throws for over 275 yards and two touchdown and Adams eclipses the 100-yard receiving mark for the third time in his last four games. Those are big reasons why the model predicts that Green Bay wins this rivalry game well over 60 percent of the time.
How to make Week 8 NFL office pool picks
The model also made the call on every other Week 8 game and has strong picks for potentially close matchups like Ravens vs. Steelers and Browns vs. Raiders. It's also calling for a Super Bowl contender to go down hard. You can only see all of the model's NFL pool picks here.
So who should you pick in every Week 8 NFL game? And which Super Bowl favorite goes down hard? Visit SportsLine now to get optimal NFL office pool picks, all from the advanced computer model that has ranked in the Top 10 on straight-up picks three of the last four years and is an outstanding 74-30 this season.
