Every favorite matches VegasInsider's Week 8 odds board, last updated Wednesday night, October 28, 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: the Lions, Seahawks and Bills are all -3.5 at every book, so the key number of 3 is gone for favorite backers, and the Eagles are +6.5 at three books and +5.5 at four. Our guide to key numbers explains why, and you can compare books on our sportsbooks page.
