The Los Angeles Chargers headline Sportsbook Review betting analyst Neil Parker's top NFL Survivor picks for Week 8 as he uses NFL odds from our best sports betting apps to rank the top teams for poolies to target.
With six teams on a bye week and only a handful of sizable favorites in Week 7, things were difficult in survivor pools, but the schedule softens for poolies in Week 8.
Five teams favored by a touchdown or more remain on Friday morning, with the Philadelphia Eagles a half-point below the key number of 7.
It can quickly prove to be a fool's errand to look too far ahead in survivor contests, but a quick peek at the NFL Week 9 odds doesn't showcase as many mismatches.
Here are our NFL survivor picks for Week 8 to accompany all of our NFL Week 8 predictions and NFL best bets.

Survivor picks NFL Week 8
The Detroit Lions will have an extra day to sit on their 38-6 blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 7, and I'm anticipating a lot of frustration to be taken out on the Las Vegas Raiders in front of the Ford Field faithful during the Monday Night Football bout.
Detroit played three of its past four games on the road, and it has its bye in Week 9. As a result, bank on the Lions rebounding from their reality-check loss to the Ravens with a strong 60-minute showing on Monday.
The Miami Dolphins are the largest favorite on the board, and they should have their way with the 2-5 New England Patriots. My only worry is that Miami isn't running out a who's who of Pro Bowlers on defense, and the Dolphins only topped the Patriots 24-17 in the Week 2 matchup.
Still, the Dolphins should have pulled away for a double-digit win in Week 2, and I don't think the Pats have the personnel to pull off the road upset. Plus, that ho-hum Miami defense could have some key cogs back Sunday.
The Ravens would top my rankings if this wasn't a road game. Baltimore is rounding into elite form on defense, and the Arizona Cardinals are quickly losing the competitive fight they showcased early.
Arizona has dropped four straight by double digits, and the Ravens are as complete a team as the Cards have faced since losing 35-16 to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 4.  ;
This one could be over quick.
This is a must-win game for the Los Angeles Chargers, and the Chicago Bears aren't going to sneak up on the Bolts on the road. Additionally, just look at the step down in class from hanging with the Dallas Cowboys and then playing the Kansas City Chiefs on the road the past two weeks.
I'd never blame anyone for not trusting the Chargers, but the Bears are bad news.
