Week 8 is here, and the BTA Sports model has zeroed in on the weekend’s biggest spread and total variances, identifying where the numbers may be off and where bettors can find an edge. Here are the games to keep an eye on before kickoff:
Giants @ Eagles 8-Point Spread Variance
- Vegas: Eagles -7.0
- BTA: Eagles -14.99
In Week 6, the Giants stunned the Eagles with a 34–17 victory at MetLife Stadium. However, this week’s rematch looks very different. The Eagles, now 5–2 and back at Lincoln Financial Field, are coming off their best offensive outing of the season. Jalen Hurts posted a perfect passer rating, throwing for 323 yards and 3 touchdowns. On the other sideline, the Giants’ defense collapsed, giving up 33 points in the 4th quarter.
Browns @ Patriots 7-Point Total Variance
- Vegas: O/U 40.5
- BTA: O/U 47.29
The Browns visit the Patriots fresh off their best offensive performance of the season. Rookie running back Quinshon Judkins became the first Cleveland running back since Nick Chubb (2022) to score 3 touchdowns in a single game. Drake Maye and the Patriots have been humming on offense, scoring 20+ points in every game this season. With both offenses in form heading into this matchup, our model suggests a high-scoring affair.
Jets @ Bengals 6-point Spread Variance
- Vegas: Bengals -7.0
- BTA: Bengals -0.58
