- FanDuel is offering new users $150 in bonus bets when they wager $5+ for three days, while promoting an NFL Week 8 slate of Sunday games.
- SportsLine Projection Model gives the Jets an “A” grade to cover the -1.5 spread against the Raiders, with the bet covered in 58% of its 10,000 simulations and a projected five-point New York win.
- Jets have a top-10 defense, rank fifth against the pass and can point to Geno Smith’s 1,621 passing yards, 10 TDs and two interceptions; the Raiders have lost four straight and allowed almost 36 points per game in those games.
- Eagles are +5.5 against the Commanders in Sunday Night Football at 8:20 p.m. ET, and SportsLine expert R.J. White backed them to cover because Washington’s units do not deserve to be favored by that much.
- Jalen Hurts is out, DeVonta Smith is still dealing with an injury, and Philadelphia’s offensive line has been a problem, with Tanner McKee having to take over at quarterback.
- Commanders return from a bye with a 1-4-1 record, with Terry McLaurin out for the season and Jayden Daniels having missed a few games with an elbow injury; Washington scores four more points per game than Philadelphia but allows the second-most points per game in the NFL.
- FanDuel provides activity alerts, betting limits, timeout options, live chat and the 1-800-MY-RESET helpline, available by call or text 24/7, for responsible gaming.
Why it matters: Philadelphia bettors get +5.5 against a 5.5-point home favorite despite Jalen Hurts being out, giving them a direct contrarian choice rather than the favored side. R.J. White says Washington’s units do not deserve the price; Washington also enters at 1-4-1, with Terry McLaurin out for the season and the second-most points allowed per game in the NFL.
