Eight weeks into the NFL season and raise your hand if you seriously understood something about it. Contenders sinkingsurprises that are confirmed and teams that remain halfway between success and failure. Week 8 opens with a Thursday Night that could mean a lot for both Minnesota and the Los Angeles Chargers.
On bet365* the line favors LA at odds of 1.54, perhaps better to play Minnesota’s handicap at -3.5 quoted at 1.83. Sunday, many unbalanced parts in terms of odds, but if we were to get an upset that’s it Chicago’s 3.30 odds against Baltimore might be worth it.
NFL NHL NBA MLB 2025, predictions and odds
For safer bets, Tampa Bay at odds of 1.45 against New Orleans and Denver against Dallas at 1.58 can be tried. Watch out for San Francisco vs. Houstonthe former are the underdogs at 2.05 but are having a much better season than the Texans, another upset on the horizon.
In the postponements, let’s forget Washington against Kansas City, while the challenge between the Packers and Steelers is interestingwhich involves the former Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay’s historic QB who today wears the yellow and black of Pittsburgh. Green Bay’s winning odds at 1.58 are worth considering.
MLB 2025: Toronto vs. Los Angeles to win the World Series
The final act of the season will feature the Toronto Blue Jays and the Los Angeles Dodgers. For the Canadian team this is a return to the top that has been missing for over 25 years, for the Dodgers, however, it now seems like a proven routine.
The super team led by Ohtani, Betts and Freeman is looking for an encore after last year’s triumph, and the odds all lean in favor of the Californian team. bet365* sees the Dodgers winning the series at odds of 1.45 against the 2.80 of the Blue Jays, who will have to maintain the offensive rhythm of the series with its best hitters such as Springer, Guerrero Jr and Kirk.
The pitchers will also make the difference, with Blake Snell in line to start Game 1 for the Dodgers, versus one of Yesavage and Gausman for Toronto. The Dodgers have played fewer games than the Blue Jays, and overall the entire bullpen has pitched fewer innings than Toronto’s.
NHL 2025: Montreal continues to push the accelerator
The Montreal Canadiens are certainly among the surprises of this start to the NHL season. The Quebec team is at the top of the Atlantic Division with six wins out of eight games played, doing better than teams like Florida and Torontowhich have yet to take off.
Nothing new in the Metropolitan, Devils, Hurricanes and Penguins are not disappointing expectations so far. In the West, Vegas and Colorado are already strong contendersand the new Utah Mammoths also started the season well.
Many matches in the night slate, we start with Anaheim’s 2.00 upset over Bostonalso on bet365*. Over 5.5 goals scored between Detroit and NY Islanders, at odds of 1.76, then three games with “safe” odds: Tampa Bay at odds of 1.32, NY Rangers at odds of 1.34 and Jets at odds of 1.44.
Potential upsets to be studied, the Canucks at odds of 1.95 against the Predators and the Mammoths at odds of 2.00 against the Blues could be interesting to take as individual plays. If you want to ride the Montreal wavethe Canadiens’ odds against the Oilers are 2.90, but watch out for the team of McDavid & co.
NBA 2025: the season has begun
The NBA also started during the night, with all the teams having played the inaugural match, except for Denver and Indiana. Victor Wembanyama was an absolute protagonist with his Spurshaving scored 40 points against Cooper Flagg‘s Dallas Mavericks, author of a double double (10 points and 10 rebounds).
Debut worth mentioning for VJ Edgecombe; the rookie from Philadelphia scored 34 points in the 76ers’ victory against the Boston Celtics, recorded the third best performance ever for a rookie making his debut.
On the night between Thursday and Friday, only two matches scheduled; Oklahoma City takes on Indiana in a rematch of the Finalswith the Thunder favored here too at 1.32, while the Denver Nuggets face the Golden Stat Warriors of Curry and Butler. Californians favorite and odds 1.76 on bet365*.
