Here’s what we’re going with in Week 8 in Eagles vs. Bengals, Saints vs. Chargers and Cowboys vs. 49ers.

All kickoff times below are ET.

Eagles vs. Bengals — 1 p.m. (CBS)

The Eagles are 4-2, with wins in three of their last four, including a dominant showing against the Giants last Sunday. But this team has struggled against good quarterbacks this year, and this weekend, it faces one of the best in the league in Joe Burrow.

The 3-4 Bengals haven’t quite made their 1-4 start a distant memory, but Burrow and the Cincy offense showed us in Week 5 — in a 41-38 loss to Baltimore in overtime — that its ceiling remains as high as anyone’s. The last two weeks were by no means offensive masterpieces, but Cincinnati did enough to get by the Giants and Browns.

We like the Bengals to pick up a much-needed home win against the Eagles, whose defense is yet to play well against good competition. Philadelphia has allowed less than 11 points per game in three contests against the Saints, Browns and Giants, but it gave up a total of 84 points (28 per game) to the Packers, Falcons and Bucs, with a 1-2 record in those matchups.

Best bet: Bengals -2.5 (-115 at DraftKings)

Saints vs. Chargers — 4:05 p.m. (FOX)

If there’s one offense worth betting against right now, it’s the Saints, who are now 2-5 after a dominant 2-0 start. This team has been abysmal offensively the last three weeks, as we all saw in primetime in Week 5 against the Chiefs and Week 7 against the Broncos.

With Spencer Rattler under center and top receivers Rashid Shaheed and Chris Olave out in Week 7, the Saints were blown out at home by Denver.

New Orleans could welcome back several key pieces on offense on Sunday (starting guards Cesar Ruiz and Lucas Patrick, plus tight end Taysom Hill and wide receiver Chris Olave all returned to practice this week). That will help the cause, but they’re not going to be able to score enough on a tough Chargers D to keep this one close for 60 minutes.

Best bet: Chargers 7 (-110 at FanDuel)

Bonus bet: Under 41.5 (-118 at FD)

Cowboys vs. 49ers — 8:20 p.m. (NBC)

Speaking of offenses suffering from key injuries, San Francisco dropped to 3-4 last week in a 10-point loss to Kansas City. The Niners were without Deebo Samuel last week due to illness, then lost Brandon Aiyuk for the rest of the year after he tore his ACL in that game.

Now, an offense already missing Christian McCaffrey is missing both Aiyuk and WR Jauan Jennings, with Samuel and star tight end George Kittle listed as questionable for the big game against the Cowboys.

Dallas has lost its last three meetings with San Francisco, including playoff matchups after the 2021 and 2022 seasons, but the ‘Boys strike us as a dangerous underdog despite their underwhelming start to the season. Coming off a bye, we’ll take Dak Prescott and Co. to bounce back and keep this game tight after an embarrassing 47-10 loss at home to Detroit in Week 6.

We liked this line — which opened at 49ers -4.5 and is now down to 49ers -3.5 at some sportsbooks — better a few days ago, but we still like Dallas to at least cover as 4-point underdogs.

Best bet: Cowboys +4 (-110 at bet365)
