2024 NFL odds Week 8: Lines, spreads for all 16 games

NFL Week 8 is on the horizon. Check out the odds for all 16 matchups!

OCTOBER 26

Dylan Parham - Remains out for Week 8 Parham (foot) did not practice Friday and has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against Kansas City, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Impact Parham will miss a second straight game due to a foot injury he sustained during the Raiders' Week 6 loss to the Steelers, and he has been unable to practice since the injury. Jordan Meredith started at right guard in Week 7 against the Rams, and he figures to do so again Sunday.

OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Kana'i Mauga - Logs full practice Friday Mauga (knee) practiced in full Friday and is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Mauga was unable to play in Week 7 against the Rams due to a knee injury. He finished the week strong with a full practice Friday, and the 24-year-old could return for Sunday's AFC West clash. Mauga has contributed solely on special teams this season and has logged one tackle across five regular-season games.

Tommy Eichenberg - Questionable to play vs. Chiefs Eichenberg (quadriceps) was a full participant in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Kansas City, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Eichenberg has been held out of the Raiders' last two games due to a quadriceps injury. He opened the week with consecutive limited practices, but he was able to practice without restriction Friday and is trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's AFC West contest. Across four regular-season outings, Eichenberg has logged six tackles (five solo) while contributing on both defense and special teams.

OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Maxx Crosby - Cleared to suit up Sunday Crosby (ankle) does not have an injury designation for the Raiders' Week 8 contest versus Kansas City on Sunday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Crosby has been dealing with an ankle injury for over a month and missed the first game of his career Week 4 against Cleveland. He did not practice Thursday of this week but was a full participant both Wednesday and Friday, enabling him to suit up against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs on Sunday. Through six contests this season, Crosby has logged 6.5 sacks, tied for sixth-most in the NFL.

OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Harrison Bryant - Questionable for Week 8 Bryant (elbow) did not practice Friday but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bryant elbowed his injury during the Raiders' Week 7 loss to the Rams. Given that he hasn't practiced all week, Bryant is likely leaning towards doubtful, rather than questionable, ahead of Sunday's game. Nevertheless, official word of his status may not be known until the Raiders' inactive list is announced approximately 90 minutes before the 4:25 pm ET kickoff. If Bryant cannot play, John Samuel Shenker would step up as the Raiders' backup tight end behind rookie first-rounder Brock Bowers.

OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Jakobi Meyers - Questionable after full practice Meyers (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs after returning to a full practice Friday.

Impact Meyers was limited Wednesday, didn't practice Thursday, and then was able to log a full session to close out the week. Earlier Friday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic relayed that head coach Antonio Pierce expects Meyers to play this weekend, with the wideout's participation level supporting that notion. Look for added context regarding his Week 8 availability to arrive via national reporters such as ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport ahead of Sunday's 4:25 ET kickoff.

Desmond Ridder - Will work as backup Week 8 Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce said Friday that Ridder will work as the backup to Gardner Minshew during Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Heidi Fang of the Las Vegas Review-Jou...

Impact Ridder was inked by Las Vegas off Arizona's practice squad Monday, so it's unlikely that he's fully acclimated to his new team's playbook quite yet. With Aidan O'Connell (thumb) on IR and out at least four games, Ridder looks primed to hold onto the backup role behind Minshew for at least the next month. In the event that Minshew's struggles under center continue, Ridder may even have an opportunity to compete for more significant reps at quarterback.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Gardner Minshew II - Starting Sunday Coach Antonio Pierce confirmed Friday that Minshew will be the Raiders' starting quarterback Sunday against the Chiefs, Heidi Fang of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Impact Aidan O'Connell came out of a Week 7 loss to the Rams with a broken thumb that forced him to injured reserve and will require 4-to-6 weeks to recover from. Minshew unsurprisingly will retake the reins of Las Vegas' offense, but he does have another experienced option behind him after the team signed Desmond Ridder off the Cardinals' practice squad earlier this week. Ridder will be the No. 2 QB on Sunday, while Minshew will make his fifth appearance of the campaign. In the first four, Minshew completed 52 of 82 passes for 455 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.

From Davante Adams to Amari Cooper, what's behind all the WR trades?

This NFL season has produced a robust number of trades involing wide receivers. Here's what's behind it and why more are likely on the way.

OCTOBER 25

Maxx Crosby - DNP on Thursday Crosby (ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday.

Impact Crosby's DNP on Thursday is likely a rest day after the 2019 fourth-round pick was able to practice in full Wednesday. Friday's injury report will provide clarity on his status heading into Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Jakobi Meyers - Misses practice Thursday Meyers (ankle) didn't practice Thursday.

Impact Meyers, who has missed two straight games, logged a limited practice Wednesday, so his non-participation a day later is notable. It remains to be seen if the downgrade is maintenance-related or indicative of a setback, with added context on that front slated to arrive no later than the release of Friday's final injury report.

Kana'i Mauga - Limited to open week Mauga (knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Impact Mauga was unable to practice leading up to the Raiders' Week 7 contest against the Rams, so his return to practice Wednesday -- albeit in a limited capacity -- is a step in the right direction. He'll have two more practices to upgrade his participation ahead of Sunday's AFC West showdown against the Chiefs.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Tommy Eichenberg - Limited to open week Eichenberg (quadriceps) was a limited participant at the Raiders' practice Wednesday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Impact Eichenberg has missed the last two games while nursing a quadriceps injury, so practicing in any capacity Wednesday is a positive sign. The linebacker will look to increase his workload at the team's final two sessions of the week in order to be able to go Sunday against Kansas City.

OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Harrison Bryant - Misses practice Wednesday Bryant (elbow) did not participate at the Raiders' practice Wednesday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bryant is nursing an elbow injury to open the week, forcing him to sit out the team's first practice session ahead of Sunday's matchup with Kansas City. The tight end will have two more chances to return to the field this week in order to avoid an injury designation for Week 8.

Raiders vs. Chiefs Injury Report – Week 8, 2024

See who's in and who's out for the Week 8 matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders on October 27, 2024.

OCTOBER 23 • DATA SKRIVE

Jakobi Meyers - Limited in return to practice Meyers (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Impact After not practicing last week before missing his second game in a row this past Sunday, Meyers' return to Wednesday's session has him trending in the right direction in advance of Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Once Meyers returns to the lineup, a high-volume role should await him, given that the Raiders' former top wideout Davante Adams is now a member of the Jets.

OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Jakobi Meyers - Set to practice Wednesday Meyers (ankle) will practice Wednesday, Levi Edwards of the Raiders' official site reports.

Impact Meyers didn't practice last week, before being made inactive for the second game in a row ahead of this past Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Rams. The wideout's anticipated participation in Wednesday's session is a step in the right direction for Meyers, but he'll probably need to practice fully by Friday on order to approach this weekend's game against the Chiefs without an injury designation.

OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Ameer Abdullah - No touches in Week 8 Abdullah didn't carry the ball or draw a target while playing 13 of 79 snaps on offense in Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Rams.

Impact After filling a change-of-pace role out of the backfield behind Alexander Mattison the previous two weeks, Abdullah saw his playing time take a significant dip Week 7 while Zamir White (groin) made his return from a two-game absence. Expect Abdullah's opportunities on offense to remain limited while both Mattison and White are healthy.

OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

John Samuel Shenker - Serving as No. 3 tight end Shenker went without a target while playing 14 of the Raiders' 79 snaps on offense in Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Rams.

Impact After being signed off the practice squad in late September, Shenker has suited up in each of the Raiders' last four games as the No. 3 tight end behind Brock Bowers and Harrison Bryant. Though Bryant suffered an elbow injury in Sunday's loss that at least temporarily puts his status in question for a Week 8 matchup with the Chiefs, Shenker is unlikely to see enough playing time behind Bowers to make much of an imprint on the box score.
