The Kansas City Chiefs head into Week 8 as 19-point favorites over the New York Jets at DraftKings. At some sportsbooks, they are 21-point favorites – the most that Kansas City has ever been favored by in franchise history.
The Buccaneers also head into Week 8 as considerable favorites against the New York Giants (currently 10.5-point favorites at DraftKings).
Elsewhere, there are some very tough games to call. Two of the early Super Bowl contenders, the Steelers and the Ravens, meet on Sunday. Baltimore head into that game as 3.5-point favorites but are up against an unbeaten Steelers side full of confidence. The Cleveland Browns open as 2.5-point favorites against the Las Vegas Raiders, with both teams keen to prove a point after an inconsistent first seven weeks.
