NFL Vegas expert picks revealed
SportsLine has an expansive team of NFL experts who provide quality betting advice for every game on the schedule. Analyst R.J. White, who is 34-25 (+779) over his last 59 ATS picks, has revealed his Week 8 best bets. He is backing the 49ers (+1.5) to cover at Houston, saying, "The Texans have seen exactly two scenarios this season: dominate an uncompetitive roster (Titans, beat-up Ravens) and generate no offense against everyone else... With Nico Collins suffering a concussion in the wee hours of Tuesday morning, he's unlikely to be available here, so I don't know how Houston scores points. I see the 49ers closing as favorites in this game." White's NFL best bets for Week 8 can be found here.
Eric Cohen, who is 60-32-1 (65%) on his straight-up NFL picks this season, has exact score predictions for all 13 games. He is high on the Eagles (-7, 43.5) to defeat the Giants, 28-18, on Sunday. Hit any of his exact score picks and you're looking at a payout well over 100-1. That pick, along with his prediction for every game, is available here.
