It isn’t easy to pick the Week 8 game between the Cincinnati Bengals and Philadelphia Eagles ... especially with Joe Burrow under center, it’s no wonder the NFL picks and odds keep coming in by close margins for either team.

Cincinnati is riding a two-game winning streak and if the Bengals can beat the Eagles, it will bring the team to .500 with two AFC games (2-5 Raiders and 5-2 Ravens) up next. Philadelphia is one of the more balanced teams in the NFC this year.

The Eagles are just a half-game back of the first-place Washington Commanders after beating the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants in consecutive weeks. Philadelphia may have righted the ship with last week’s 28-3 win over the Giants as Saquon Barkley rushed for 176 yards on only 17 carries.
