Every favorite matches VegasInsider's Week 8 odds board from Sunday night except the near pick'em Raiders-Jets game, and the openers on both boards are identical. SportsbookReview's DraftKings column is left out of the ranges, as it has been all season on NFL pages. Shop before you bet: Packers -3.5 versus -4.5 and Lions -3 versus -3.5 sit on either side of the most important key number in football. Our guide to key numbers explains why, and you can compare books on our sportsbooks page.

The Chiefs opened 2-point road favorites and are 1.5 now, with a total of 41 to 42.5 that is the third-lowest of the week. The division market makes Kansas City about 58% to win the AFC West and Denver about 39%.

Minnesota beat Indianapolis 16-10 to reach 6-0 and the NFC No. 1 seed. Detroit beat Green Bay 20-17 and is 4-2. The Lions opened 3-point favorites and are 3 to 3.5, and the total opened at 46 and sits at 46 to 46.5. This is the NFL's only unbeaten team as an underdog, priced at +138 at FanDuel.

Chicago beat New England 30-24 on Thursday night and is 5-2, the NFC's top wild card, with extra rest before this trip. Seattle beat Kansas City 20-3 and is 4-3, the first team out of the NFC field on a tiebreaker. The Seahawks opened 3-point favorites and are 3 to 3.5, with the total down from 47 to 46.5.
