StatLogic Sports Week 8 NFL Power Ratings With EARLY Betting Edges & Parlay Options

Our Week 8 National Football League Power Ratings are complete, but there still can be minor tweaks and changes as more injury and other game information is released ahead of the Sunday and Monday games. Changes become more likely and frequent as injuries to key players across the league continue to mount and more injury information becomes public, so make sure to check back frequently.

The current ratings can be found below, and at the bottom of the page there also are some early betting edges, parlay and teaser options. These also will be updated as the week progresses, so always check back before placing any wagers.

With each passing week as more current data is accumulated, the numbers generally become more accurate and provide a better snapshot of where the betting edges might be for that week's games.

So far this year, there has been extremely high volatility in betting lines and power ratings because of the number of injuries to key players as well as the surprise injuries that were not initially made public but have popped up on late-week injury reports or even on game days. Teams with many injuries to key players such as the Ravens, Bengals and Commanders have plummeted from near the top to the middle or lower, while the Ravens now are back on the upswing with Lamar Jackson and other players scheduled to return. Washington finally has its receiving corps at near full strength, but the defense has been crushed and quarterback Jayden Daniels is out again as the Commanders head to Kansas City to face a Chiefs team that has surged to the top spot in our ratings. The Bengals have leveled off with a competent starting QB in Joe Flacco.

Meanwhile, beat-up teams such as the Buccaneers and Lions have shown amazing resilience and maintained there places near the top.

Our betting edges did not perform well given that volatile climate for a few weeks, so we took a step back and took a look at our process and decided to be a little more conservative until we ere more confident in our numbers and they could adjust to the current rosters of healthy players. As always, the goal is to maximize the odds of winning bets and realize a positive ROI over the long term.

After a rough couple of weeks for our NFL betting edges and parlay/teaser options they bounded back in Weeks 6-7 to go 7-3 and our lone recommended client bet, Raiders on the money line, also was a winner. We lost a single recommended bonus bet last week. Our money-line parlay options went 4-0 in Week 7, and our Prime Time Props, which mostly are posted on our Twitter/X and BlueSky accounts are 16-6 this year for NFL games (2-0 NBA).

These power ratings are the starting point as far as determining our weekly recommended picks. It's one part of the equation that mostly includes our proprietary algorithm, which has predicted winners of college football, college basketball, NFL, MLB and NBA games at about a 65-percent success rate for the last two decades. We first determine where there may be betting edges before running those games through the algorithm.

We provide a lot of free information here to help bettors who crave more action make the best possible decisions with their money, but we only release our top recommended picks to our paying customers. Occasionally, we will release bonus bets that also go to our customers or narrowly miss the cut to be recommended selections here as a thank you for coming to our site. Sometimes these are sent only to clients and sometimes we make them public.

Our recommended picks must have at least a 65-percent win probability and meet a strict set of requirements before earning that distinction and being sent out to our customers. These are low-volume, investment-oriented selections that have returned an annual ROI equal to or exceeding what other potential investments traditionally yield. They are entirely based on the algorithm and the strict rules and guidelines we apply to each game. There is no human bias involved.

This is the approach that we recommend for our clients - a long-term, investment-based mindset that minimizes risk and maximizes their return on investment.

We realize there is a large market of more casual sports bettors who enjoy wagering on multiple games and the excitement of having action on several contests per day or on a weekly basis. While we don't condone or promote that type of betting behavior, we realize that it is a reality and post information here to help those bettors maximize their odds of being successful.

Any information supplied for that market is considered "bet at your own risk." We track the performance of those suggested edges but DO NOT recommend that approach. Take a look at our Prime Time Prop Results and this week's NFL Power Ratings are below that:
