Wiseguys are advising that these Week 8 NFL lines are going to move
Covers.com is the biggest and best source for sports betting information, providing unrivaled and original content sports bettors cannot live without.
Each week during the pro football season, Covers Expert Art Aronson of AAA Sports looks at the NFL odds and tells you which spread to bet now, which one to bet later, and which total to watch as the week plays out.
Game to bet now
Minnesota at Cleveland (+9.5)
The Browns went 1-15 in 2016 and it's possible they're worse this year.
How bad is it? A Browns promotion to give a prize to one fan went awry when the seat chosen at random was unoccupied. Oh, and their best lineman (tackle Joe Thomas, who hasn't missed a game since 2007, looks lost for the year with a triceps tear.
Money is already heavy on the Vikings, moving the line a full two points from 7.5. Expect more Minnesota money to change the line even more, so if you like Minnesota, best jump now.
Game to wait on
Dallas at Washington (+1)
Ten of the 16 teams in the NFC, including these two, have either two or three losses. Catching the 6-1 Eagles is hardly out of the question, but this division game is vital for both.
The Cowboys are an early season disappointment, and they'll have to get their act together immediately to get back in the playoff picture. Dallas plays Kansas City, Atlanta and Philadelphia in its next three games.
Washington, meanwhile, has a slightly easier schedule and would like nothing better than to slap down the 'Boys and take a giant step toward turning the East into a two-team race with Philadelphia.
Total to watch
Miami at Baltimore (37.5)
Totals this low used to be as rare as UFO sightings recent years but they seem to be coming back.
The Dolphins are the second-lowest-scoring team in the league and their 1-5 record against the over reflects that. Still, there are signs that things might be moving in the right direction.
The Fins have won three in a row they been able to move the ball in their last two games (Atlanta, Jets). Miami (4-2 SU) is in the thick of it in a rejuvenated AFC East. Baltimore's offense has been all over the map, and inconsistent QB Joe Flacco is being asked questions like "Is the offense completely broken?"
Yikes.
