"Our NFL Nation reporters take you inside the locker room with the best thing they heard this week, and ESPN Research provides a key stat to know and a betting nugget for each contest. Plus, analytics writer Seth Walder makes a bold prediction for each matchup, and fantasy analyst Eric Moody shares fantasy football intel.

""You're going against a very sound defense schematically, a defense that plays the right way with their intent and just how physical they play, and a very talented group of 11 guys, too, with good backups," coach Kyle Shanahan said. "Everything's a challenge about it, but it starts with their physicality and soundness.""
Week 8 includes marquee matchups such as Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers facing his former team, the Packers, the Bills trying to avoid a three‑game losing streak, and the Giants and Eagles renewing an NFC East rivalry.
