Gambling911.com has your NFL betting picks for Week 8 with the focus on the line movements and any strong opinions the bookmakers might have.

Last week we went 2-1 with three big underdogs.  Today we are heavy on Pittsburgh winning at home as a +3.5 underdog. Nearly 90% of the action had been on the Colts.  The line has actually moved down on this game to encourage even more money on the Colts.  The books will be rooting on Pittsburgh in a big way here.

Our other pick on the day will be the New Orleans Saints at -2.5.  We could have gotten this line at -1 earlier in the week. The underdog Packers are getting all the love in this Sunday Night Football game yet the books have been encouraging more action on Green Bay.  The books will be cheering on New Orleans for a big outright win here.
