Week 9 Picks

The Broncos are on a bye this week, so here are the picks for Week 9...

Last Week's Record: 5-9-1

Overall Record: 63-53-8

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

Chargers (-3) over ATLANTA: I think the 4-3 Chargers will come off their bye week and find a way to beat the 4-4 Falcons in Atlanta. 

CHICAGO (+5) over Miami: Interesting game as the Dolphins come in at 5-3 and host the 3-5 Bears. I think the Dolphins will win the game, but look for the Bears to keep it close until the end.

CINCINNATI (-7) over Carolina: I think the 4-4 Bengals will rebound and win convincingly over the 2-6 Panthers in Cincy.

Green Bay (-3) over DETROIT: The Packers will find a way to get a win and get their season turned around. 

Las Vegas (-1) over JACKSONVILLE: The Raiders got embarrassed last week in New Orleans. At 2-5, they need to win this game. The Jags are 2-6, so both teams are desperate. Look for the Raiders to pull one out.

NEW ENGLAND (-5) over Indianapolis: The Pats are back to 4-4 and I think they will take care of business at home against the 3-4-1 Colts. 

Buffalo (-12) over JETS: The Bills are the beast team in the league and they won't mess around with the 5-3 Jets. Look for the Jets to play inspired for awhile, but Josh Allen will be too much in the end. 

Minnesota (-3) over WASHINGTON: The Vikings are 6-1 and look really good under new head coach Kevin O'Connell. I like their chances here to go on the road and take down the Commanders. 

Seattle (+2) over ARIZONA: How is Arizona favored in this game? The Seahawks and Geno Smith are rolling and I think they will get the win on the road here. 

TAMPA BAY (-3) over Rams: The Bucs are 3-5 and the Rams are 3-4. Both teams are struggling so this is a must-win game for each team. Hard to tell which way this game goes, but I think the Bucs will pull it out.

Tennessee (+13) over KANSAS CITY: The Chiefs will win this game at home on Sunday night, but I can see the Titans keeping it somewhat close and getting a backdoor cover. 

Baltimore (-3) over NEW ORLEANS: The Ravens will go into the Superdome and knock off the Saints on Monday Night Football.
