NFL Week 8 picks include Chiefs and Colts
Lorenzo Reyes is back after going 3-0 last week, and explains why large spreads shouldn’t worry bettors in Week 8 of the NFL season.
The Dallas Cowboys take their great offense and awful defense on the road to take on a Denver Broncos team on a four-game winning streak.
That streak includes one of the most remarkable fourth-quarter comebacks in the modern history of the league against the New York Giants last week, as the Giants have excruciating losses to both of these teams.
Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens have been good enough to overcome the Cowboys defense in half the games this year, but Dallas hasn’t won back-to-back games in 2025. Is this the week? They are 3-point underdogs, so about what Denver’s home field is worth.
The Dallas Cowboys travel to Mile High Stadium in Denver to take on the Broncos Sunday, Oct. 26, at 2:25 p.m. MT/3:25 p.m. CT on CBS.

Sportsnaut: Dallas Cowboys 34, Denver Broncos 31
Matt Johnson writes: “We’re predicting the Dallas Cowboys to pull off the Week 8 upset over the Denver Broncos. Points will be plentiful, even if Patrick Surtain takes away one of CeeDee Lamb or George Pickens. Denver will likely turn to J.K. Dobbins early and often against this Cowboys run defense, but the game will eventually have to be put on Bo Nix’s shoulders. The fourth-quarter comebacks this season are remarkable, but it certainly seems like Bo Nix puts constraints on this passing game until the last moment. With how well the Cowboys’ offense is executing right now, we think Dak Prescott wins in a shootout.”
