| BLUE | Jets @ Giants | CBS | 1:00 PM ET | Andrew Catalon, TIki Barber, Matt Ryan |
Jacksonville Jaguars vs Pittsburgh Steelers – 1:00 PM ET – CBS
The Jacksonville Jaguars and Pittsburgh Steelers have two of the best records in football, but neither team’s play has truly reflected that in recent weeks. Both offenses have experienced their share of issues, with the defense often coming up big in victories. While there aren’t a lot of believers outside of Pittsburgh and Jacksonville, a win on Sunday will change that for one of these teams.
Atlanta Falcons vs Tennessee Titans – 1:00 PM ET – CBS
With the Tennessee Titans moving to a quarterback rotation and already offloading talent ahead of the trade deadline, things could get ugly. Atlanta Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder has a great shot at one of his best performances in his career against a struggling Titans’ defense and Bijan Robinson returns to a featured role in Week 8.

New England Patriots vs Miami Dolphins – 1:00 PM ET – CBS
The New England Patriots kept things close with the Miami Dolphins when they last met, but these two teams are on very different tiers. Miami’s defense is welcoming back All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey on Sunday and its cast of offensive weapons should deliver explosive plays with the Patriots’ defense dealing with multiple absences.

New York Jets vs New York Giants – 1:00 PM ET – CBS
It’s the battle of in-state rivals with both the New York Giants and New York Jets playing better football as of late. While Giants’ quarterback Daniel Jones is out, New York’s offense has actually functioned better without him. Given the Jets’ defensive advantages, it should be the pick to win on Sunday afternoon.
Week 8 NFL coverage map: CBS late games
| Color | Matchup | Channel | Time | Broadcasters |
| RED | Bengals @ 49ers | CBS | 4:25 PM ET | Jim Nantz, Tony Romo |
| BLUE | Chiefs @ Broncos | CBS | 4:25 PM ET | Trent Green, Kevin Harlan |
| GREEN | Ravens @ Cardinals | CBS | 4:25 PM ET | Chris Lewis, Ross Tucker |
Cincinnati Bengals vs San Francisco 49ers – CBS – 4:25 PM ET
Easily one of the best NFL games in Week 8 is the Cincinnati Bengals vs San Francisco 49ers matchup. Cincinnati is coming off a bye, providing Joe Burrow (calf) and Tee Higgins (ribs) with an opportunity to get healthier. Already coming off consecutive losses, the 49ers could be without Brock Purdy (concussion) on Sunday. Even without Purdy, the 49ers are favored to beat the Bengals.
Kansas City Chiefs vs Denver Broncos – CBS – 4:25 PM ET
A week ago, the Kansas City Chiefs offense finally seemed to find its rhythm and its defense is already playing lights-out football. Neither of those two things bode well for the Denver Broncos, who struggled to beat the Green Bay Packers in Week 7. There’s a chance we could reach blowout territory with this game. Will Taylor Swift be in attendance? We’ll find out.
Baltimore Ravens vs Arizona Cardinals – CBS – 4:25 PM ET
After a clash of titans with the Detroit Lions in Week 7, the Baltimore Ravens now hope to avoid falling into the proverbial trap game against the Arizona Cardinals. Based on how poorly the Cardinals’ defense has played in recent weeks, this could be another blowup spot for the Ravens’ offense.
