NFL Week 8: Best bets and top picks for Sunday’s action

The NFL season is in its 8th week. Carolina Panthers and Atlanta Falcons are playing for the NFC South title. The San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams are trying to knock off the last undefeated team, the Philadelphia Eagles.

Miami Dolphins travel to Detroit to take on D’Andre Swift and the Lions. Miami's offense is still working its way back to its early season success. Detroit's running back is back after missing the last three games. The Lions were a top-ten scoring offense before their last two games against the Patriots and Cowboys.

Carolina Panthers and Atlanta Falcons are playing each other in the NFC South. The Panthers have had a disappointing season, while the Falcons have surprised many with their new-look team. Carolina has already traded away one of their great players, but they beat Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week. Atlanta has a new, more experienced team, led by Marcus Mariota.

Pittsburgh Steelers are coming off a tight loss against the Miami Dolphins. The Steelers have been good this season, taking down the Cincinnati Bengals and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Pittsburgh is 2-5, but they have a stubborn defense. Philadelphia is undefeated and has a tendency to coast.
