Aussiebets’ Week 8 Best Bets Multi:
- Cowboys +3.5
- Packers -3
- Mahomes 3+ TD Passes
Dallas Cowboys @ Denver Broncos Tips
Two teams that couldn’t be more different meet in Denver, and the underdog Cowboys get the edge with a +3.5-point start.
The Broncos have somehow won three straight games but have been painfully inconsistent, scoring 57 of their last 63 total points across just three quarters. Meanwhile, Dallas bring the NFL’s best offence but one of its worst defences, creating a potential shootout.
Dak Prescott continues to spread the ball around, while tight end Jake Ferguson has become his go-to red-zone option. Expect Courtland Sutton to find space against a leaky Cowboys secondary as Denver chase from behind.
Best Bets:
✅ Cowboys +3.5
✅ Cortland Sutton Over 60.5 Receiving Yards
✅ Jake Ferguson Anytime TD
Supporting Stats:
- Denver’s average winning margin across their last three games is just 2.33 points.
- Sutton has cleared 60.5 receiving yards in 5 of 7 games.
- Dallas allow the most passing yards per game (260.3).
- Ferguson has 6 touchdowns in his last 4 games.
Green Bay Packers @ Pittsburgh Steelers Tips
It’s Rodgers vs his old team, but it’s Jordan Love and the Packers who are tipped to steal the headlines in Pittsburgh.
Green Bay have scored 27+ points in five of their last six and continue to generate big plays through Love, who’s been sacked just once per game across the last three weeks. Against a Steelers defence ranked 31st against the pass, he should have time to dissect the secondary.
Running back Josh Jacobs is in red-hot form with 7 TDs in his last 5 games, and should again feature heavily through the air against a Pittsburgh unit that’s allowed 100+ rushing yards to opposing RB1s in consecutive outings.
Best Bets:
✅ Packers -3
✅ Jordan Love Over 249.5 Passing Yards
✅ Josh Jacobs Over 16.5 Receiving Yards
✅ Josh Jacobs Anytime TD
Supporting Stats:
- Packers average 26.3 points per game (7th in NFL).
- Steelers allow 258 passing yards per game (31st).
- Love has attempted 29+ passes in every game this season.
- Jacobs has gone over his receiving line in 4 of his past 5.
Washington Commanders @ Kansas City Chiefs Tips
The Chiefs are back and they’re ready to make another statement at home.
Kansas City have won their last two by a combined 61-17, including a 31-0 shutout of the Raiders. The defence has quietly become one of the best in football, ranking 3rd in points allowed and 5th in total yardage.
With Jayden Daniels out, the Commanders turn to Marcus Mariota against a Chiefs side that has held opponents to 17 points or less in three of their last four wins. Expect Mahomes to light it up with 3+ touchdown passes and Kansas City to cover comfortably.
Best Bets:
✅ Chiefs -12.5
✅ Washington Under 16.5 Team Total
✅ Washington Under 105.5 Rush Yards
✅ Patrick Mahomes 3+ TD Passes
Supporting Stats:
- All four of KC’s wins this season have been by 13+ points.
- Mahomes has thrown 3+ TDs in 3 of his last 4.
- Washington are without QB Jayden Daniels and rank 25th in passing.
- Chiefs defence is allowing just 17.7 points per game (3rd).
