NFL Week 8 Best Parlay Picks: Just Keep Picking on the Bad Teams

• The Lions have scored over 30 points in three straight games.

• Cincinnati has been involved in two games this season to end with over 70 total points scored.

• The Broncos have held five of their seven opponents to 18 points or less this season.

The four-leg parlay with +506 odds in Week 7 ended up being a winner - albeit by a narrow margin. That gives us confidence that we’ve reached the part of the NFL season where things are perhaps getting a little more predictable. Simply going against the worst teams in the league probably won’t work like a charm every time, but perhaps we’re on to something.

With parlays, teasing lines just a little can make success a little easier without losing a ton of value. This week’s parlay is a good example of that with our odds coming from Caesars Sportsbook. Currently, if you sign up for a new Caesars account, you will get a bonus bet of up to $1,000 if you lose your first bet.

Titans vs. Lions -6.5 (-208) at Caesars Sportsbook 

Covering a double-digit spread in the NFL is never easy. While two of Detroit’s five wins have come by big margins, it’s safer to tease this spread so that it’s less than a touchdown. With back-to-back road wins, the Lions appear to have found their groove in 2024. They’ve scored over 30 points in three straight games, giving Detroit one of the most balanced and dynamic offenses in the league, not to mention a top-10 defense. More importantly, Dan Campbell isn’t going to let his team overlook the Titans, even with a road trip to Green Bay the following week.

On paper, there is no reason the Titans should have a chance in this game. Even after leading at halftime in Buffalo last week, Tennessee lost by 24 points. Whether it’s Will Levis or Mason Rudolph at quarterback, the Titans have the worst passing attack in the league. To their credit, three of their five losses have come by seven points or less. But it’s hard to envision Tennessee getting any closer than seven points in Detroit this week.

Colts vs. Texans ML (-260) at Caesars Sportsbook 

It’s worth noting that the Colts have six wins and a tie in their last eight trips to Houston. For whatever reason, the Texans haven’t been able to hold serve at home against Indy. However, there is every reason to think Houston will bounce back after a close road loss in Green Bay last week. The Texans nearly won that game despite a horrific performance from C.J. Stroud. Houston still has a strong supporting cast around Stroud, which should help him bounce back against a defense he ripped apart in Week 1.

The Indianapolis defense has been far too unreliable this year to think the Colts can win a difficult road game like this. The Colts lost their first two road games of the season and barely beat the lowly Titans on the road a couple of weeks ago. Even last week’s home win over the Dolphins was unconvincing with Anthony Richardson struggling to throw the ball. Despite Indy keeping the Week 1 game between these teams close, we’ll bank on the Texans taking care of business this week, making Houston’s moneyline a safe pick.

Bengals vs. Eagles Over 47.5 (-110) at Caesars Sportsbook 

This is the one bet this week we haven’t teased because there is every reason to think this game will be a shootout. For what it’s worth, both teams have hit the under in back-to-back weeks. However, both the Bengals and Eagles have faced the Browns and Giants in their last two games. Both the Browns and Giants are tough defensive teams with little offensive prowess, so it makes sense for those games to be low-scoring affairs. But if you take those games out of the equation, the Bengals and Eagles are a combined 6-3 O/U.

The Bengals, in particular, have been involved in some wildly high-scoring games this season. They’ve already had four games end with over 50 total points, including two that had more than 70 total points. With the Philadelphia offense starting to click last week, the Eagles should be able to keep it going against a vulnerable Cincinnati defense. At the same time, Joe Burrow has the weapons around him to keep the Bengals close in a shootout, especially against a defense that’s struggled to stop the run and pressure opposing quarterbacks. Needless to say, that’s a recipe for a high-scoring game.

Panthers vs. Broncos -6.5 (161) at Caesars Sportsbook 

The Panthers have become arguably the best team to bet against every week. They are 1-6 with all six of those losses coming by at least 10 points. They have allowed the most points in the NFL this week and also rank among the worst offensive teams in the league. The initial boost that Andy Dalton gave them when he was inserted as the starting quarterback has started to fade. That leaves the Panthers in a precarious spot moving forward, making them the ideal team to bet against in a parlay.

To be fair, we did tease this line a little to get it under a touchdown. Granted, the Broncos have won four of their last five games, including three by double-digit margins. But they aren’t necessarily the type of team that’s going to march up and down the field and score a ton of points. Luckily, the Denver defense has held five of its seven opponents to 18 points or less. As long as that trend continues, the Broncos should manufacture enough points against a dreadful Carolina defense to win by at least a touchdown.
