Week 7 is in the books, save for one game, but we're already looking ahead to Week 8. Which games grabbed our analysts' attention?
The Minnesota Vikings will put their perfect record on the line Sunday when they visit the Detroit Lions as underdogs in an NFC North clash. The Green Bay Packers host the Carolina Panthers, with each team coming off losses.
Who do we like? Matt Bowen and Pamela Maldonado break down the key part of the game driving their bets before odds potentially shift later in the week.

Detroit Lions -3 vs. Minnesota Vikings
Bowen: Will the Lions have enough answers for the Vikings' pressure? Brian Flores' unit leads the NFL in blitz rate (69.9%) and is tied for the most sacks (21) in the league. It will be on Jared Goff, who has completed 72.7% of his throws versus the blitz this season, to get the ball out on time. And I'm betting that he does.
Last week: Vikings -5.5 vs. Colts (Result: Vikings 16, Colts 10)
Carolina Panthers at Green Bay Packers OVER 47.5
Maldonado: Carolina can score -- and give plenty back. Bryce Young has the weapons, and Green Bay is struggling to get off the field on third down. The Packers' run game has been awful, but facing a defense allowing 5.2 yards per carry should help. Jordan Love also has Christian Watson and Matthew Golden to attack downfield.
Last week: Dolphins-Jets UNDER 39.5 (Result: Dolphins 28, Jets 25)
