NFL Week 8 preview: 5 games you can’t miss this weekend

Elite offenses meet elite defenses, malfunctioning defenses meet elite offenses, and hapless offenses meet elite defenses in Week 8 of the NFL season, with a potential NFC Championship dress-rehearsal thrown in for good measure.

Chicago's Monday night showdown with Seattle serves as a fitting crescendo to one of the best slates of the campaign so far.

Here's our pick of the top five NFL Week 8 games — and where to watch NFL online and on TV.

The Vikings are the only undefeated team in the NFL, but are they actually any good? Brian Flores' defense certainly is, but with a mere 10 offensive touchdowns, kicker Will Reichard having outscored every other Viking combined, a dip in form is surely coming. Cue Jared Goff and the freewheeling Lions offense. Unfortunately for Detroit, their defense is about as bad as Minnesota's offense and they've lost two straight to their NFC North rivals. This will be fascinating.

A variation on the theme, the Ravens' clash with the Bills has the potential to be a shootout, seeing as both defenses are awful and both offenses are outstanding — if Lamar Jackson plays, that is. The Baltimore star's apparently imminent return from an ankle injury has failed to materialize for a month now, perhaps with this Week 8 fixture in mind. In the meantime, the Ravens have dropped to the bottom of the AFC North after blowing double-digit leads in each of their past two games. Josh Allen and the Bills, meanwhile, are fresh from a bye.
