NFL Week 8 picks, best bets: Commanders handle disadvantaged Eagles, Jaguars rout Colts

Tyler Sullivan picks every game on the Week 8 schedule, including five locks against the spread

Breaking down five of the best bets on the Week 8 slate, plus picks and score predictions for every game with Tyler Sullivan. We didn't just walk the balance beam in Week 7; we made camp on it. I was downright average over last week's slate, no matter which way you slice it. I went 8-6 straight-up and then 7-6-1 ATS. Then, in my locks of the week, I went 2-3 ATS, which brings me to 17-17-1 ATS on the year. That's the definition of middling. It's not bad necessarily. I could own a losing record with my locks, but let's remember what they're supposed to be — LOCKS!

We've been burned by a fair share of bad beats throughout the first half of the season and lost by the hook last week in our Vikings pick against the Colts, but there's no room for excuses. It's time to roll up our sleeves and get to work with an eye towards a more productive Week 8, which, as always, begins with my five locks of the week. Note: New Orleans, New York (Giants), San Francisco, and Houston are on the bye in Week 8. The Colts are on the doorstep of selling off parts amid a 2-5 start to the year, which includes a three-game losing skid entering Week 8.
