Lines as of 1:22 PM CT on Saturday, Oct. 31 (updated from our Thursday snapshot). Each number is the middle (median) line across five US sportsbooks, so your book may show something slightly different. Records are entering Week 8. The Thursday game is over, so its row shows the final score instead of lines. This page is information, not advice, and nothing here is a recommendation to bet on any team.

NFL Week 8 schedule with odds (Central Time)

On bye in Week 8: Houston Texans (2-5), New Orleans Saints (2-5), New York Giants (4-2-1) and San Francisco 49ers (6-1).

TV is the US national broadcast. Clocks go back one hour at 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 1, so Thursday's time is Central Daylight Time and the Sunday and Monday times are Central Standard Time. The early Sunday games are still at 1:00 PM ET.

How to read the lines: a spread of -3.5 means that team has to win by 4 or more for a bet on it to win, and +3.5 means that team can lose by up to 3 and still cover. The total is the combined points of both teams. A moneyline of -196 means risking $196 to win $100, and +160 means risking $100 to win $160. EVEN means risking $100 to win $100. The favorite is simply the side the market prices shorter. It is not a prediction.

The board at a glance (1:22 PM CT Saturday):

• Biggest spread: Cincinnati -12.5 against Tennessee, then Jacksonville -10 against Indianapolis.
• Closest games on the board: Raiders at Jets and Chiefs at Broncos, both 1.5 points.
• Highest totals: 54.5 for Ravens at Bills and for Cardinals at Cowboys.
• Lowest total: 39.5 for Browns at Steelers.
• Moved since our Thursday snapshot (1:14 PM CT): Cincinnati went from -11.5 to -12.5, Dallas from -6.5 to -7 and Washington from -6 to -5.5. The Falcons-Buccaneers total dipped from 44.5 to 43.5, Vikings-Lions from 46.5 to 46, and Chargers-Rams rose from 45 to 45.5.

What this page leaves out

• Every name on the injury report. We list players with a game status. Players with no status, and full practice details, are left out, aside from three Bears named in the Monday note.
• Moves after we checked. Teams can still change a status or move a player to injured reserve before kickoff.
• Player props and alternate lines. Too many and they move too fast for a snapshot page.
• Home and road splits. We could not confirm them cleanly, so we left them out rather than guess.
• Any prediction or pick. There is none on this page, by design.

How to log these bets in our tracker

VigStamp is a free spreadsheet-style bet tracker. It does not place bets and it does not tell you what to bet. If you do place a bet on a Week 8 game, here's how we'd record it so it still makes sense next month:

1. Write down the exact price you got. The lines above are a snapshot. Your price may be different, and that is the number that matters for your results.
2. Choose the right book and sub-account. If you keep more than one balance at the same sportsbook, put the bet on the right sub-account so each balance stays honest. Our guide on tracking your bankroll across multiple sportsbooks walks through how we total balances and pending stakes.
3. Mark promos honestly. If the stake is a free bet or a profit boost, log it as one so your profit is not overstated. If you are thinking about hedging one on another book, our free bet and profit boost hedging guide shows the math.

Lines and injuries change

Spreads, totals, moneylines, kickoff times and injury statuses can all change after this page was written. The lines are a snapshot from 1:22 PM CT on Saturday, Oct. 31, and the Sunday injury notes are the final Friday, Oct. 30 game statuses, plus changes we saw through 1:20 PM CT Saturday. The Bears and Seahawks notes are the final reports posted Saturday, Oct. 31. Always confirm the current price and the latest team news before you place anything.
