Quick Summary

In their Week 8 matchup, injuries are a significant concern for both the New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins, with A.J. Brown’s status up in the air due to an undisclosed injury. The Patriots remain as seven-point favorites despite missing key players, but the prediction hinges on whether Brown will play. If he does not, Kyle Williams could see increased playing time and be a valuable bet for over 14.5 yards as his longest reception. Erich Richter, known for successful NFL player prop bets, recommends betting on the Patriots to cover the spread regardless of Brown’s status.

🔮 They’re both rated pretty much even in terms of DVOA, coming in at No. 17 in DVOA (No. 11 on offense, No. 25 on defense), while the Packers are No. 18 (No. 23 on offense and No. 4 on defense). So no, Micah Parsons is not active, but that really isn’t stopping them. Had Josh Jacobs not returned for the Packers, I’d be all in on the Over, and likely would have had some bets targeting the Over on both Christian Watson and Matthew Golden’s receiving yards. I’m still bullish on them overall, but Jacobs’ return allows Green Bay the option to run the ball much more.
