With World Series odds on the way, bettors will have their hands full between Wednesday and NFL Sunday. That’s why it’s especially important to do our NFL betting homework early this week. Here are a few good-looking spreads for Week 8. Jacksonville Jaguars @ Tennessee Titans
Sunday, November 1, 4:05 p.m. ET
BetOnline.com favorite: Titans -3
It’s hard to fathom why the Titans are a favorite at all for Week 8 even though they’re playing at home. They’re 0-6 and completely broken mentally. Their two quarterbacking options, Kerry Collins and Vince Young, completed more passes to the New England Patriots than to their own teammates in Week 6. They allow 300-plus passing yards per game, easily the worst mark in the league. Now, they face a Jaguars team that torched them for over 300 yards and three scores through the air. And the Titans are favored…why?
Pick: Jaguars +3
Minnesota Vikings @ Green Bay Packers
Sunday, November 1, 4:15 p.m. ET
BetOnline.com favorite: Packers -3
It’s the game of the week, month and year so far. Brett Favre makes his long-awaited return to Green Bay and the Packers have to love the timing. After playing their first road game in six weeks, the Vikings lost to Pittsburgh last week and Brett Favre finally looked mortal. Could his confidence be trending downward as he prepares to face a Packers “D” that is beatable but can also make big plays? We know Aaron Rodgers can hurt the Vikings deep; he threw for almost 400 yards against them earlier this season and faces a secondary that could be missing Antoine Winfield. If he can get any kind of protection from an O-line that has failed him more often than not, he could lead the Pack to an emotional win over Minnesota. After the Packer win, you can cap off a great sports day with World Series betting Sunday night.
Pick: Packers -3
