NFL Week 8 Look-Ahead Lines: Patriots -8.5 against Rams in annual London matchup

It never hurts to plan ahead.

Every week, the LVH SuperBook in Las Vegas releases “look-ahead” point spreads before the current week’s games have been played.

Some notable Week 8 nuggets:

The Patriots are 8.5-point favorites over the feisty Rams in the NFL’s annual game in London. Guess what? People will be able to bet on that game within walking distance of the stadium! Gasp!

The Packers are the only double-digit favorites on the board, laying 12 points against the lowly Jaguars.

Only one road team is favored (the Chargers at the Browns), and six games have point spreads of a field goal or less.

The Giants get their chance at revenge for their season-opening loss against the Cowboys. Dallas is a 2-point home favorite.
