NFL Week 8 Opening Lines: Moneylines, Spreads, Totals For All 16 Games

For whatever reason, no teams have a bye in Week 8 and the NFL international series breaks until Week 10. So, we have a full 16-game slate with the three normal "primetime" contests. The main events are the Dallas Cowboys vs. San Francisco 49ers and a game between the first and second picks of the 2024 NFL Draft in the Chicago Bears vs. Washington Commanders. 

I'll jot down my spreads and check them against the opening lines weekly. It helps me form an early opinion on games by seeing how I differ from the betting market. Granted, it's nerdy, but if you clicked on this article you are either a nerd too and/or as into gambling on the NFL as me. Without further ado, here are the opening moneylines, spreads, and totals for Week 8.
