The NFL's Week 8 is shaping up to be an interesting one, with two teams looking to keep their winning streaks alive. The New England Patriots, led by rookie quarterback Drake Maye, have been on a roll, winning their last four games. They're coming off a bye week and will host the Cleveland Browns, who have struggled on the road this season. The Patriots' offense has been scoring over 30 points per game during their winning streak, and their defense has been solid as well. The Browns, on the other hand, have been outscored 98-36 in their three road games this season. It's safe to say that the Patriots are the favorites to win this game. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Falcons are looking to extend their winning streak to three games when they host the Miami Dolphins. The Falcons have been better than average at home, with wins over the Commanders and Bills, and a close loss to the Buccaneers. The Dolphins, on the other hand, have been struggling lately. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was benched late in last week's loss to the Browns after throwing three interceptions. Head coach Mike McDaniel has also been under fire for his bizarre press conferences. The Falcons are the clear favorites in this game, and it's hard to see the Dolphins pulling off an upset. In other news, the Lions and Chiefs both won their games last week, bringing their respective records to 6-2 and 6-2. The Lions are looking to continue their winning ways when they host the Packers this week, while the Chiefs will travel to Denver to take on the Broncos.
