NFL Predictions Week 8: New England Patriots -3 and Spreads To Jump on Early

The bookmakers who find the aggregate lines over at ScoresAndOdds have given us a few spreads to mull over just one day after the majority of Week 7 games have ended.

There are a few juicy ones that I would jump all over right now before they move anymore in the other direction.

Let’s take a look at some of these early lines you can get paid with come Sunday.

New England Patriots (-3) at Pittsburgh Steelers

This has already moved from Patriots -1.5 all the way to -3.

And you know what, I still love it.

The Patriots are a vastly superior team to the Steelers and they will neutralize their effective but slow and aging defense with a hurry-up offense and quick strikes through the air.

While the Patriots defense isn’t the best, it certainly can contain a slower-paced squad like the Steelers.

Carolina Panthers (-3) over Minnesota Vikings

Cam Newton got his second NFL victory and he is going to ride that momentum with another home win against the Vikings this week.

While Minnesota played the Packers close, people forget that Newton had his Panthers leading at halftime when they played earlier this season as well.

Ponder is going to be playing on the road for the first time as an NFL starter and he will make mistakes and turn the ball over more than the Panthers.

I like the Panthers giving three here and easily covering.

Tennessee Titans (-9) over Indianapolis Colts

Did Vegas watch the Colts play the Saints last night?

The Colts are really bad and won’t be able to head on the road again and beat the Titans.

Tennessee just got a reality check yesterday against the Houston Texans are going to look to rebound and gain ground back in the AFC South with a solid win.
