- SportsLine AI rolled out Week 8 picks, score predictions, against-the-spread, over/under and moneyline calls for every game, generated by SportsLine's Data Science team through machine learning on each team's historical data plus a 0-100 matchup score for opponent defensive strength that refreshes on the newest data; SportsLine says it has hit more than 2,000 highly rated picks since the start of the 2023 season.
- SportsLine AI projects a 31-28 Patriots win over the Dolphins but goes Over 44.5 and favors the Dolphins +7 for against-the-spread value, pointing its winner and its spread pick in opposite directions.
- Patriots enter Week 8 at 4-3, second in the AFC East behind the 5-1 Bills, while the Dolphins sit at 1-5 after a 28-25 win over the Jets on Sunday.
- Drake Maye has completed 65.9% of passes for 1,784 yards, 13 touchdowns and eight interceptions in seven starts, with tight end Hunter Henry his top target at 26 receptions, 296 yards and two touchdowns.
- Malik Willis has thrown for 1,057 yards on 57.6% completion with four touchdowns and four interceptions for the Dolphins and added 35 rushes for 223 yards (6.4 average) and three touchdowns, while running back Ollie Gordon has 72 carries for 339 yards and four touchdowns.
- Seattle Seahawks, the defending Super Bowl champion, are the 3-point favorite in Monday Night Football's Week 8 finale against the defending NFC North champion Chicago Bears, while four teams have byes: the Texans, Saints, Giants and 49ers.
- CBS Sports is also publishing Week 8 picks, with its computer model backing the Steelers and Rams and a separate expert slate giving exact scores for every game, while SportsLine publishes the Week 8 spread lines but reveals only its Patriots-Dolphins call, keeping the rest of its predictions off-page.
Why it matters: SportsLine's headline Week 8 call splits the ticket: a 31-28 Patriots win, yet Over 44.5 and the underdog Dolphins +7 as the spread value. Patriots backers and contrarian spread bettors sit on opposite sides of one model, and every other A+ pick stays off-page, with $55 and $25 promo codes pointing readers at Kalshi and Polymarket first.
