Opening Line Report - Week 8
By Marcus DiNitto
Of the 13 games on the NFL’s Week 8 card, seven feature early point spreads within a half-point of a field goal. In fact, none of the games have a line of a touchdown or more. The betting numbers are indicative of the parity throughout the league.
Here’s a look at the opening lines for the entire slate. The point spreads listed are the Las Vegas consensus as of about 11 p.m. ET Sunday night, with early moves and differences between sports books noted. We asked Nick Bogdanovich, director of trading at William Hill U.S., to chime in.

Jacksonville Jaguars at Tennessee Titans (-3.5)
If the NFL is hoping for a boost to its sagging prime time ratings, a Jaguars/Titans game probably isn’t the answer. But there’s point spread on it and it’s an isolated game, so it has our attention. It’s interesting to note that the Titans went off as bigger favorites at home over the Colts on Sunday than they opened for this home game against Jacksonville.
