Week 8 NFL Betting Picks: Team and Game Totals

Oct 26, 2023

Handicapping NFL sides and totals is not a perfect science, though it gets easier to navigate as the season progresses. The more we can contextualize in-season data and adjust it for the situation and opponent, the better. Whenever possible, lean into situation-adjusted stats over raw counting stats. Utilize metrics like success rate and explosive play rates over total yards and points against. Our Team and Player Stat Explorer tools can help.

I will bring you my favorite totals of the week in this space all season long, focusing on what I believe to be the most significant inefficiency in the market: individual team totals. Working around key numbers is critical, and concentrating on one team or matchup helps eliminate a bit of variance in each bet.

All of our plays are released through our subscriber Discord. Go to #Role-Assign and opt into any of the different options to receive push notifications whenever a play is released by the 4for4 team. Beyond picks, our betting subscription includes tools that can't be found anywhere else.

Let's dig into Week 8's totals.

Leans/Lines I'm Monitoring

Key numbers are incredibly important to totals and team totals. I haven't made any official plays yet, but here are a few spots that I'm watching to see if any news can impact the current line. Again, all official plays will be posted in Discord first, so I'd advise getting in there if you haven't already done so.

I've been more 'under' heavy here this season than in years past, and with scoring down across the league, I think it's wise to continue to bet on inefficient offenses underperforming.
