NFL Week 8 odds, picks: Lookahead lines offering value for Titans-Colts, Buccaneers-Saints and more

One of the most important facets of NFL betting is deciding when to place your bets. Timing is all part of the strategy, as you won’t find much value on lines if you wait until five minutes before kickoff on Sunday. It’s smart to look ahead — as we do in this column each week.  

Every Friday, we take a look at the NFL lines a week in advance to determine if we should put money down now in order to get the best bang for our buck. Most of these lines will likely change before we reach Week 8, so we want to go ahead and get our bets in if we see a nice opportunity for an upset, or to jump on a favorite before the line moves even more in its favor. 

Before we jump into some early bets to consider, here are the lookahead lines for Week 8. All NFL odds come courtesy of Caesars Sportsbook.
