Week 8 of the NFL season brings another loaded slate of player prop opportunities across the league. Well, our VSiN suite of tools — including the Opta AI Player Projections, WR-CB Matchup Tool, and NFL Player Prop Analyzer — can help bettors identify edges and uncover value in the player markets. Keep reading for some of the most advantageous spots of the weekend, and make sure you check out the pages themselves. While we’re identifying three good ones below, we have dozens of these elsewhere on the website! Subscribe and become a VSiN Pro for access to everything we have to offer!
Biggest Opta AI Player Prop Edge
CLICK HERE to check out all of our Opta AI NFL Player Prop Projections! We have over 100 projections on the OptaAI pages for Week 8!
Joe Flacco Under 243.5 Passing Yards (-115): DraftKings Sportsbook has Flacco’s passing yard total at 239.5, and OptaAI has an edge of 57.62 yards to the Under. However, you can do even better by going to BetMGM, where Flacco’s yard total is up at 243.5. This will be an interesting one to keep tabs on, as Flacco just carved up the Steelers secondary. The 40-year-old threw for 342 yards with three touchdowns and no picks, and New York is worse than Pittsburgh when it comes to Dropback EPA per play allowed (0.219 vs. PIT’s 0.113). Is the machine on to something with Flacco underperforming against the Jets?
Best WR Matchup

Drake London vs. Dolphins corner Jack Jones: Our WR-CB Matchup Tool has London’s matchup with Jones as one of the biggest advantages of the week. Jones’ Pro Football Focus coverage grade is just 45.9, which puts him 103rd out of 112 players at his position. So it isn’t hard to see why this is a favorable matchup for the Falcons’ No. 1 wideout. I already played the Over on London at 63.5 receiving yards as one of my Week 8 NFL best bets. You can do a little better than me by going Over on 62.5.

J.K. Dobbins Over 67.5 Rushing Yards (-115): Dobbins has gone Over his rushing yard prop in six of the seven games the Broncos have played this year. The 26-year-old has also rushed for at least 76 yards in five of Denver’s seven games. Well, Dobbins is now going up against a Cowboys defense that is 28th in the NFL in Rush EPA per play allowed (0.036). Dobbins should be able to pick up big chunks of yards in what should be a high-scoring contest, making him a threat to continue standing out as one of our NFL Prop Analyzer’s studs for the 2025 season.
