Best Week 8 NFL Bets 2021 – Spreads + Player Props

• The Dallas Cowboys are 6-0 against the spread this year but are still 3 point underdogs against the Minnesota Vikings this week, providing great value for bettors.
• Mike Gesicki has gone over on his receiving yards prop in six consecutive weeks, and he has a 47 yard receiving prop this Sunday against the Bills.

MINNEAPOLIS - Heading into Week 8, there are several NFL bets that provide great value, including two player props, a points total, and a points spread.

Dallas Cowboys Vs. Minnesota Vikings

• Dallas Cowboys +3 (-115)

The Cowboys opened as 2.5 point favorites over the Vikings, but betting action has moved the line dramatically - the Cowboys are now 3 point underdogs on legal gambling sites..

Dallas is a perfect 6-0 against the spread this year, while Minnesota has covered in just 3 of their last 13 games. Take the NFL’s best against-the-spread team with the points this week.

Mike Gesicki Receiving Yards:

• At least 47 Receiving Yards (-114)

Dolphins’ tight end Mike Gesicki has gone over his total receiving yards prop in six straight games.

In the last two weeks he has totaled 15 receptions on 17 targets for 200 yards and 1 touchdown, and Gesicki has finished in the top two on the team in targets in each of his last five games.

The Dolphins are 14 point underdogs in a game with a 48 point total, suggesting that they believe the Dolphins will be playing catch-up, which bodes well for Gesicki’s involvement.

Alvin Kamara Rushing Yards:

• Under 59.5 (-114)

Saints’ running back Alvin Kamara logged 20 carries for just 51 yards last week against the Seattle Seahawks, who have allowed the third-most rushing yards per game to opposing running backs in 2021 with 115.6 yards per game.

This week, Kamara and the Saints take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who have the NFL’s best rushing defense - they have allowed just 51.3 yards per game to opposing running backs. Expect Kamara to be involved, but he may find more success out of the backfield than on the ground.

Carolina Panthers Vs. Atlanta Falcons

• Under 46.5 (-105)

Carolina has had its share of offensive struggles recently, and the points total has gone under in 8 of their last 10 games.

The total has also gone under in 4 of the last 5 meetings between the two teams. The Panthers scored just 3 points last week against the New York Giants, and starting quarterback Sam Darnold was benched.

The Falcons have not been great offensively in 2021 either, averaging just 22.5 points per game. Atlanta does not have the firepower to single-handedly carry a points total to the over, and combined with Carolina’s offensive struggles, the (-105) odds on the under are even more inviting.
