NFL Week 9 Point Spread Predictions

The NFL, from week to week, always provides more than its fair share of surprises. The margin of error for which team covers the spread and which team doesn’t can come to something as simple as a missed extra point. When it comes to the week 9 slate, there are plenty of games that have the potential to provide observers with excitement.

Here’s a look at the best point spread picks for NFL week 9.

Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions

Packers vs. Lions Picks

Best Bet: Lions +3

The Packers seem to have an unhappy quarterback in Aaron Rodgers. Green Bay’s bigger problem is the young receiving core doesn’t seem capable of pleasing him. The Packers are on a four-game losing streak where they haven’t scored more than 22 points.

Detroit is a dynamic offensive team that can’t stop anyone. The Lions are ninth in the league in scoring offense and are fourth in total yardage.

Detroit has been close to winning the past few weeks. Beating an imploding Green Bay team at home would be a big lift for the Lions.

NFL ATS Betting Lines

Seattle Seahawks at Arizona Cardinals

Seahawks vs. Cardinals Picks

Best Bet: Seahawks +1.5

With Geno Smith at quarterback, it would have been hard to imagine Seattle as serious contenders in the NFC West this season. However, the Seahawks are in first place and haven’t been giving an inch to any of their foes this season. Seattle held down Arizona’s offense in the first meeting between the two teams, only allowing the Cardinals to score nine points.

Arizona can’t afford to lose this game, as the Cardinals are in last place in a division that features a San Francisco team that is surging. The Cardinals just won’t be consistent enough to cover against Seattle.

Baltimore Ravens at New Orleans Saints

Ravens vs. Saints Picks

Best Bet: Ravens -2.5

The Ravens have struggled to finish games this season. Baltimore has also had their share of breakdowns on defense, which isn’t a good sign before playing the Saints, who are defensively challenged, but effective at moving the football. New Orleans is seventh in the league in scoring (24.9 PPG) and has seen the total go over in five of its eight games.

The Ravens are the second-best rushing team in the league and are putting up 26 points per game. Baltimore will find a way to cover on the road.

NFL ATS Predictions

Tennessee Titans at Kansas City Chiefs

Titans vs. Chiefs Picks

Best Bet: Chiefs -12.5

The Chiefs offense hasn’t been slowed down by many teams this season. Kansas City leads the league in scoring at 31.9 points per game.

Tennessee is still waiting to see what condition quarterback Ryan Tannehill will be in. The Titans were forced to start rookie Malik Willis against Houston.

Tennessee didn’t rely on Willis much. He only attempted ten passes against the Texans. With Kansas City’s offense, it may not matter which Titans quarterback starts.

Las Vegas Raiders at Jacksonville Jaguars

Raiders vs. Jaguars Picks

Best Bet: Jaguars +1

The Jaguars have struggled to finish games. Jacksonville has lost five straight games by eight points or less since starting 2-1. The Jaguars will finally get on the right side of one against struggling Las Vegas, which is a mess on both sides of the ball.
