Nfl Week 8 Gambling Preview: Bet On George Pickens, Plus Other Picks

Time sure does fly by. We have already reached the eighth Sunday of the 2026 NFL regular season. It’s time to sit back, relax, and enjoy some football. Before the second Sunday festivities of the year kick off, here are our gambling picks for the Week 8 slate.

All odds via FanDuel Sportsbook.

Three Picks of the Week

2026 Record: 5-6

1) Lamar Jackson OVER 25.5 rushing yards (-114)
Lamar Jackson is set to make his return this week against the Buffalo Bills. While Jackson’s ankle may not be 100%, his rushing yards number is far too low. Since 2024, Jackson has surpassed 25 rushing yards in 24 of 34 games played. He’ll do that again on Sunday, even with a sore ankle.

2) Brevyn Spann-Ford OVER 1.5 receptions (-140)

The Cowboys have increased tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford’s role in the offense significantly over the past two weeks. In that two-game span, the 26-year-old has been targeted seven times and recorded six receptions. Dallas is going to air the ball out against Arizona, and Spann-Ford should have plenty of opportunities to record at least two receptions.

3) Ashton Jeanty 50+ rushing yards (-114)

This could very well be the week that we see Ashton Jeanty break out. The Jets have given up 232, 148, and 156 rushing yards in three of their last four games. Jeanty should have no problem getting to fifty rushing yards against New York’s poor run defense.

Cowboys Corner

Arizona Cardinals AT Dallas Cowboys (-7)

The Pick: George Pickens 70+ receiving yards (+102)

The Cardinals’ defense has been very poor at defending the pass this season. Arizona has given up the third-most NY/A (7.4 yards) through the air this season. Dallas should be able to move the ball through the air throughout the entirety of the game, and George Pickens is bound to make one or two big plays down the field. Take Pickens to record 70+ receiving yards in the contest.
