The Under has hit in six consecutive Minnesota Vikings games, and we anticipate this trend to continue when the Vikings visit the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, making it one of our top NFL parlay predictions for Week 8. We shop for the best NFL odds from across our best NFL parlay betting sites for all our NFL picks.

The Minnesota Vikings are coming off a 22-17 upset victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7, and after things looked bleak when Minny star wide receiver Justin Jefferson went down with a hamstring injury in Week 5, the Vikings have won consecutive games to improve to 3-4.

While they prepare to face the 2-4 Green Bay Packers this Sunday, this game has huge playoff implications for both franchises. Minnesota will look to maintain its momentum with a strong defensive showing.

To accompany our NFL Week 8 predictions and NFL best bets, here are our best NFL parlay predictions (odds via our best NFL betting sites; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

Best NFL Week 8 parlay predictions

Minnesota Vikings vs. Green Bay Packers Under 42.5 (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

It took a couple of weeks, but new defensive coordinator Brian Flores’ blitz-happy system is paying dividends for the Minnesota Vikings. After giving up an average of 31 points in season-opening losses to the Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Chargers, Flores’ crew has surrendered an average of 17.5 in its last four outings while recording three wins to get back into the NFC playoff picture.

The Green Bay Packers defense is playing well also, even if it hasn’t been reflected in the win-loss column. Green Bay surrendered just 18 first downs and 339 total yards in last week’s 19-17 loss to the Denver Broncos, the third time in four weeks that the Pack have held an opponent under 20 points.

With Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love continuing to struggle in his first year as a starter, the Cheeseheads know that keeping things as low-scoring and conservative as possible is their best chance to snap a three-game losing streak. Minnesota is also content to play things close to the vest, failing to score more than 22 points in any game since star wideout Justin Jefferson was injured and going Under in five straight.

Jacksonville Jaguars -2.5 (-120) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

It’s hard to imagine a more challenging schedule than the Jacksonville Jaguars have endured over the past month, playing back-to-back games in London, returning to Jacksonville for a standalone home contest, and visiting a non-conference opponent on a short week. They came through it like a potential champion, winning and covering all of those games — three by a touchdown or more.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are on a nice run of their own, winning and covering last week for the eighth time in their last 10 games dating back to last season. However, there’s much more of a smoke-and-mirrors feeling to what the Steelers are doing, winning games despite being consistently outgained by their opponents. Last week against the Los Angeles Rams, the Steelers had just 110 yards in the first three quarters and benefited from a controversial fourth-down spot to pull out a 24-17 victory.

Jacksonville has covered seven straight on the road — winning six of those games outright — and has had a few extra days to prepare after playing last Thursday against the New Orleans Saints. Laying under a field goal with the AFC South leaders is a bargain.

Seattle Seahawks Moneyline (-190) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

There aren’t many teams in the NFL playing better defense these days than the Seattle Seahawks. Over their past three games, the Seahawks have allowed a total of just 30 points. That's fueled a 4-1 SU and ATS run, resulting in Seattle nipping on the heels of the San Francisco 49ers for top spot in the NFC West.

The Cleveland Browns boast a ferocious defense of their own, even after yielding 38 points last week in a wild one-point victory over the Indianapolis Colts. But Cleveland’s offense is another story, especially with backup QB P.J. Walker starting instead of injured Deshaun Watson. Although the Browns have won their last two games with Walker primarily under center, he’s been awful, completing half of his passes with zero touchdowns and three interceptions.

Unless Cleveland can run the ball effectively (something that looks unlikely against a Seahawks front allowing 3.5 yards per carry) or force turnovers (again, unlikely versus a Seattle offense allowing one turnover and 2.2 sacks per game), it’s hard to imagine the Browns doing enough to keep pace with a Seahawks team that has won four of its last five. There’s also potential for Cleveland to be emotionally flat after dramatic wins over the Colts and San Francisco 49ers the last two weeks. Finally, it’s worth noting Seattle has won 27 of its last 35 home games versus teams from the Eastern time zone.
