NFL Week 8 isn’t a big one for betting model prediction edges.
In fact, Thursday Night Football’s Ravens vs. Buccaneers spread and over/under were offering the two biggest prediction edges of the entire Week 8 slate.
But fear not, faithful NFL bettors, the Action Network’s NFL PRO Report tracks five separate betting value indicators to determine the smartest predictions possible.
And when it comes to Sunday’s NFL schedule specifically, there are two games lighting up key value signals for today’s Week 8 matchups.
Let’s take a look.
NFL Predictions for Week 8
*NFL odds as of Sunday morning
Cardinals vs. Vikings Prediction
1 p.m. ET | FOX
Arizona was available at +5.5 against Minnesota earlier this week, but sharps were quick to steam to the Cardinals in this matchup, driving the spread down to a consensus of +3.5 across the market.
However, even after the 2-point line move, our NFL PRO Projections suggest that there is still reason to consider backing Arizona.
The Action Network’s NFL model projects the Cardinals at +2.8, which translates to a 2.5% edge based on the opportunity to lock in Kliff Kingsbury’s team a half-point off the most important line in football betting.
PRO Prediction: Cardinals +3.5

Giants vs. Seahawks Prediction
4:25 p.m. ET | FOX
The ball has certainly bounced in favor of the Giants so far this season, but the Action Network’s PRO Betting Systems indicate that now is the time to fade Big Blue.
Seattle is a match for our Fade Covering Teams PRO System, which finds value by betting against teams that have overperformed based on against-the-spread (ATS) cover margin, like New York.
By backing the Seahawks, bettors can align themselves with a strategy that is 350-272-18 (56%) ATS since 2005.
PRO Prediction: Seahawks -3
