The new weekly pregame feature has gotten a second week because: (1) you seemed to like it; and (2) I feel like doing it.
Week 8 has no byes. All 32 teams play. Two played on Thursday night, as usual. Here’s a snapshot of the remaining 15 games.
Only one unbeaten team remains, the Chiefs at 6-0. It’s the deepest a defending Super Bowl champion has made it unbeaten into the next season since the 2019 Patriots, who went 7-0 before ultimately losing in the wild-card round at home to the Titans.

Week 8 2024 NFL game previews
4-2 Eagles at 3-4 Bengals (-2) Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, CBS (Ian Eagle and Charles Davis)
