FOX Sports Wagering Expert

“Bear Bets” are real wagers that Chris “The Bear” Fallica is actually making.

For those new to this space, if you are looking for some wagers to get in on the action, I have you covered. Nothing makes football better than having a few bucks on the games.

In Week 7, we finished a perfect 3-0, as the Indianapolis Colts, Atlanta Falcons and Baltimore Ravens all covered or won outright. Now that we are at the almost midpoint of the season, it will only get more exciting from here on out. Anyway, let’s stay on the winning side of the ledger in Week 8.

Lastly, here is the latest episode of my digital show and podcast. We appreciate everyone who has listened and can’t wait to provide you with some winners. As a reminder, the college football-focused episodes — presented by Big Noon Kickoff — will be released on Thursdays, while the NFL-themed episodes will drop on Fridays.

Now, let’s get into the fun. 

Here are my best bets for the Week 8 slate.

Last Week: 3-0 (Season: 14-13) 

Las Vegas Raiders @ Detroit Lions (Monday 8:15 ET p.m., ESPN)

I’m expecting the world to be on the Lions Monday night, so you may get a better number if you wait.

This is a bad Raiders team, but if you’re going to give me close to double-digits against a beat-up Lions team, which might press a little bit Monday night after getting throttled in Baltimore, I’ll take those points.

PICK: Raiders: (+9) to lose by fewer than 9 points (or win outright) 

Minnesota Vikings @ Green Bay Packers (1 p.m. ET, FOX and FOX Sports App)

Green Bay was awful offensively in Denver, but do we think Kirk Cousins will throw for close to 400 yards again? That’s what I thought.

The NFL is a zag when everyone zigs league. People are asking if the Vikings could be a playoff team after Monday’s upset win and are super low on the Packers, who have been involved in four games this year decided by four points or fewer, including three by one or two points. 

In a coin-flip game, I’ll side with the home team. 

PICK: Packers (+1.5) to lose by fewer than 1.5 points (or win outright)

Eagles vs. Commanders, Vikings at Packers, Raiders at Lions NFL Week 8 Best Bets

Eagles vs. Commanders, Vikings at Packers, Raiders at Lions NFL Week 8 Best Bets

Philadelphia Eagles @ Washington Commanders (1 p.m. ET, FOX  and FOX Sports App)

Jalen Hurts might not be listed on the injury report, but this feels like a good spot to fade the Eagles off a huge emotional spot Sunday night when they blew out the Miami Dolphins. 

Washington couldn’t have been any worse than it was in Sunday’s 14-7 loss to the New York Giants, but it nearly upset the Eagles in Philly — and just might have if “Riverboat Ron” had gone for two at the end of regulation. 

The Eagles will be a huge public side, and I hope the public’s struggle of a week ago continues here. 

PICK: Commanders (+7) to lose by fewer than 7 points (or win outright)

Cincinnati Bengals @ San Francisco 49ers (4:25 p.m ET., CBS)

I love the Niners this week. Everyone is jumping ship because they lost a bad weather game in Cleveland, turned the ball over a couple of times and were a little sloppy on defense Monday night. 

Gasp! Two straight losses after winning 15 straight regular season games.

Now Brock Purdy, who everyone apparently hates now, is out, and Sam Darnold is in. That’s even more of a reason to expect the Niners defense to raise its game after being challenged by Fred Warner. 

The Bengals OL hasn’t been great this year, and while they escaped with an ugly win vs. Seattle, I’m still not convinced all is fixed in Cincinnati.

PICK: 49ers (-3.5) to win by more than 3.5 points
