2011 NFL Week 8 Las Vegas Spreads
(The Spread) – How do the Las Vegas oddsmakers see things in the NFL this week?
As usual, there are some slight differences between the NFL lines from the offshore books and the spreads from the Las Vegas Hilton. For starters, the Titans are 9.5-point favorites over the hapless Colts in Tennessee this Sunday, but in Vegas Indianapolis is “only” a 9-point underdog.
Offshore bettors can get Cam Newton and the Panthers as 3-point favorites over the Vikings, while in Vegas Minnesota is a 3.5-point dog. Following their brutal performance on Monday Night Football against the Jaguars in Week 7, the Ravens are 12.5-point favorites over the visiting Cardinals in Week 8 at the LV Hilton, but 13-point faves offshore.

There’s also a half-point difference between Vegas and the offshore books in the Washington-Buffalo game. Offshore the Bills are 5.5-point favorites but in Vegas they’re 6-point faves. It’s also interesting to note that the Lions are 3.5-point favorites over the Broncos in Vegas, but the line isn’t out yet at many online sites because Matthew Stafford’s (knee) playing status is unknown as of this writing.
In the game of the week, the Patriots opened as 2.5-point favorites at many offshore accounts while the Steelers opened as 3-point underdogs at the LV Hilton. The over/under for that game is the same both online and in Vegas, as oddsmakers have set the total at 51 expecting a shootout between Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger.
