NFL Week 8 2026 Predictions & Picks
Updated · market prices
Quick Answer
As of October 30, 2026, our Week 8 calls (13 still to play): the model sides with the market favorite in all 12 called games straight up. The model disagrees with the Kalshi price on 4 of 14 games; the widest gap is Dolphins at 27% to win versus Kalshi's 24¢. Ravens at Bills is held until both starting quarterbacks are confirmed. Week 8 picks straight up: Packers over Panthers (pre-game call), Bengals over Titans, Cowboys over Cardinals, Lions over Vikings, Jaguars over Colts, Jets over Raiders, Steelers over Browns, Buccaneers over Falcons, Rams over Chargers, Chiefs over Broncos, Patriots over Dolphins, Commanders over Eagles, Seahawks over Bears.
Next widest: Buccaneers at 59% to win versus Kalshi's 56¢; Jets at 55% to win versus Kalshi's 53¢.
Every game below carries the published win probability, the Kalshi price, and the gap between them — plus the straight-up winner and the model's lean.
Week 8 straight-up picks
Kalshi has priced 12 of these 14 games and our published probability is anchored to the market on each, so the straight-up pick matches the market favorite by construction — that agreement is the method, not a finding. Widest disagreement this week: our own ratings line sits 3.0 points closer to the Colts than the market's, a read we grade separately and never publish as an edge. One game is held until both starting quarterbacks are confirmed, so it carries no call yet.

Winner = the side with the higher published win probability. Once Kalshi prices a game that probability is market-anchored — it is the market’s number, which is why the Model and Kalshi columns sit within a point of each other and why no upset is labelled. Before a market opens it is the model’s own read. The model’s separate opinion is the lean, in points, graded on its own and never published as an edge. Kalshi = the mid price of the winner’s contract, in cents. A straight-up call is not the play — the play on each game is the edge side on its matchup page.

Week 8 QB & injury watch
Where a quarterback's status moves our number. An unconfirmed starter gets two lines that collapse to one when the team names him; an unvetted room gets no line until it is.
Two linesWatching Lamar Jackson (Ravens) because his start isn't confirmed, so our model publishes two lines for Ravens at Bills; if he plays, Bills by 3.5; if he sits, Bills by 8 — the market has Bills by 3, priced past our with-Jackson line. Ravens at Bills →

Watch the Week 8 breakdown
What moved on Kalshi since yesterday
Change in the Kalshi contract price for that side to win, in cents of probability, between the two most recent daily captures (as of October 30, 2026). A move is a price change, not a call.
NFL Week 8 predictions — frequently asked
Who does the model pick in NFL Week 8 2026?
The fair value (books) disagrees with the Kalshi price by 2 points net of the book's spread on 4 of 14 Week 8 games. The biggest gap is Patriots at Dolphins, where the pick is the Dolphins at a 27% win probability against a Kalshi price of 24¢. Every game's pick, line and edge is in the board above.
How are these NFL Week 8 predictions made?
Every game runs through DAEPA (Defense-Adjusted Expected Points Added), the play-by-play engine behind our PWR power ratings. It produces a neutral-field margin and a home win probability for each matchup, then the pick is wherever that probability and the Kalshi price disagree. Backtested on 3,266 games from 2013 to 2024, DAEPA picks the straight-up winner 59.6% of the time.
What does the edge on each game mean?
Edge is the published win probability — the fair value (books) once a game is priced — minus the Kalshi price for the same side, in percentage points. A +8pp edge means that number has a team at 62% while the market prices its contract at 54¢. We only call a pick when the gap clears 2 points net of the book's spread; anything smaller sits inside the noise of both numbers, so the row shows no edge.
Who will win each NFL Week 8 game?
The model's straight-up winner in each of the 14 Week 8 games, with its win probability (13 still to play; a game that has kicked off is listed as its pre-game call). Packers over Panthers (62%, pre-game); Ravens at Bills (QB pending); Bengals over Titans (86%); Cowboys over Cardinals (73%); Lions over Vikings (62%); Jaguars over Colts (81%); Jets over Raiders (55%); Steelers over Browns (62%); Buccaneers over Falcons (59%); Rams over Chargers (72%); Chiefs over Broncos (55%); Patriots over Dolphins (73%); Commanders over Eagles (70%); Seahawks over Bears (60%). The winner is the side with the higher published win probability (the fair value (books) once a game is priced); an upset is a winner priced under 50¢ on Kalshi. The straight-up winner and the play are different calls — the play is the side where that number and the price disagree by 2 points net of the book's spread.
What are the NFL Week 8 picks straight up?
Week 8 picks straight up: Packers over Panthers (pre-game call), Bengals over Titans, Cowboys over Cardinals, Lions over Vikings, Jaguars over Colts, Jets over Raiders, Steelers over Browns, Buccaneers over Falcons, Rams over Chargers, Chiefs over Broncos, Patriots over Dolphins, Commanders over Eagles, Seahawks over Bears. Ravens at Bills is held until both starting quarterbacks are confirmed (QB pending), so it carries no call yet. Each pick is the side with the higher published win probability (the fair value (books) once a game is priced) — the model's straight-up call, not a position. The play on each game is the side where that number and the Kalshi price disagree by 2 points net of the book's spread, on its matchup page.
How often are the Week 8 picks updated?
Daily through kickoff. Kalshi prices are re-captured and the model reruns against them, so the Updated stamp under the title is the last time a number on this page actually moved; it is never a render clock. Power ratings refresh weekly once games are played.
Why read this pick instead of a preview from a big sports outlet?
Two things a bigger outlet does not do. The number is posted before kickoff against the live Kalshi price, so you can see where the model and the market disagree while it still matters. And the page keeps the call after the game — result, hit or miss, closing-line value — so the record is public. Every graded call is at predictionmarketspicks.com/track-record.
Win probabilities are the market-anchored fair value (books) once a game is priced; the model’s own line is the lean. Prediction markets carry risk; contracts can settle at $0. Informational only — trade responsibly.
