Week 8 of the NFL season calendar features a busy Sunday of action, as the race to the Redzone hots up across the board this weekend!
As the action gets underway our pigskin prognosticator Ben Steele has put together a mega Multi-Match Bet Builder for the 5pm games…

Baltimore Ravens @ Cleveland Browns
Lamar Jackson Over 1.5 Passing Touchdowns
Monday night saw the Baltimore Ravens seal a 41-31 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with quarterback Lamar Jackson throwing five touchdowns without an interception, something the reigning MVP has now done five times in his career. After starting the season with two losses, the Ravens have turned it around with Jackson in superb form, helped by possibly the best receiving group he’s ever had since being drafted in 2018.
Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman are by no means household names, but both possess a versatile skillset, and have developed into solid options this season. Tight End Mark Andrews has been Jackson’s favourite target throughout his career and has woken up from a slow start to the campaign with three touchdowns in the last two weeks. I’m backing Jackson to throw at least two touchdowns on Sunday.
Derrick Henry Over 95.5 Rushing Yards
Jackson is one half of an outstanding backfield duo in Baltimore with running back Derrick Henry completing the pair. Henry has been a revelation since his arrival in the offseason, providing a legitimate threat from just about anywhere on the field. Throughout the Ravens five game winning run Henry has averaged 148.6 rushing yards per game and scored eight touchdowns.
He leads the league in rushing yards by 206 yards coming into the weekend and I wouldn’t be surprised if he extended that on Sunday. With two different runs longer than 80 yards already this season, no other running back has done it even once, you can look for Henry to top his rushing yards line on Sunday.
Philadelphia Eagles @ Cincinnati Bengals
Saquon Barkley Anytime Touchdown
Henry wasn’t the only big name running back changing teams this summer, as the Philadelphia Eagles signed Saquon Barkley from division rivals the New York Giants, and he’s hit the ground running. The Pennsylvania native has scored six touchdowns in six games and will fancy his chances of scoring against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Zac Taylor’s side came into the season with lofty aspirations, hoping to challenge Baltimore for AFC North supremacy, but have stumbled out of the blocks. A big part of the Bengals’ struggles so far has been down to their inability to stop the run. The only game in which they haven’t conceded a rushing touchdown was a 26-25 loss to Kansas City as the Chiefs ground attack still picked up 149 yards. Barkley will be expecting to score again.
Tennessee Titans @ Detroit Lions
Detroit Lions -11.5 Points
A real meeting of opposites in Detroit on Sunday. While the 5-1 Detroit Lions are looking every inch the Super Bowl contender they were billed as coming into the season, the Tennessee Titans already look like they might have the first pick in the 2025 Draft. All this adds up the biggest handicap line of the weekend’s games.
With the Titans trading away DeAndre Hopkins this week, and the Lions averaging 40 points a game in October, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Detroit win by at least two touchdowns, covering the spread. Jahmyr Gibbs, David Montgomery and Amon-Ra St Brown are all worth a look in the touchdown scorers market too.
