Final scores are from CBS Sports' Week 8 schedule page and match SportsbookReview's results board. Closing spreads and totals are the range across the books on SportsbookReview, checked against VegasInsider's Week 8 odds report; where the two differ by a half point the table shows both. Chiefs at Broncos closed near a pick'em with books split between Denver -1.5 and Kansas City -1.5, and Denver won by 4, so the Broncos covered either way. Detroit covered -3.5 against Minnesota by a half point in a 19-15 win, the closest cover of the week. Next week's lines are in our NFL Week 9 preview.
Biggest upsets of NFL Week 8
Cardinals 33, Cowboys 30 (OT)
The Arizona Cardinals closed as 7 to 7.5-point underdogs in Dallas and won outright in overtime, the biggest upset of the week by the spread. The 63 points went 8.5 over a total of 54.5. Dallas fell to 3-5 and its playoff chance on the prediction markets dropped from 43% to 32%.
Bears 34, Seahawks 17
The Chicago Bears were 3 to 3.5-point underdogs in Seattle on Monday night and won by 17. Chicago moved to 6-2, a half game behind Minnesota in the NFC North, and its Super Bowl price shortened from +1,000 to +750 to +900. Seattle fell to 4-4 and out of the NFC playoff field.
Raiders 38, Jets 33
The Las Vegas Raiders won 38-33 as 1.5-point underdogs at the New York Jets. The 71 points cleared a total of 46.5 by 24.5, the second-biggest Over of the week.

Jacksonville's 42-7 win over Indianapolis was the biggest cover of the week. Buffalo's 36-10 win came after Lamar Jackson hurt his right thumb on Baltimore's first possession; the Ravens say he will have surgery and go on injured reserve, and backup Tyler Huntley left with a toe injury that NFL Network reports will cost him extended time. Tampa Bay's 16-0 shutout of Atlanta was 27 points under the total.
