NFL Expert Picks Week 9
Welcome to week 9 of the NFL season! Week 8 saw some of the biggest upsets yet again with the Seattle Seahawks taking care of the Giants while we saw CMC throw, run and catch a touchdown against the Los Angeles Rams. What will we see this week?
Thursday Night Football
Philadelphia Eagles @ Houston Texans
The Texans mustered a total of 23 yards on their next 10 drives against the Titans and not much more will happen here. The Titans ran all over Houston, and the Eagles can follow that exact script. Houston gives up an NFL-high 186 rushing yards per game, 30 more than the next-worst team (Chicago). The Texans won’t have No. 2 wideout Nico Collins (groin) again and Brandin Cooks. Take the Eagles
- Expert Pick: Eagles ML
Sunday Football
Indianapolis Colts @ New England Patriots
Matt Ryan has been benched, and the Colts are starting to fire everyone. No reason to put money on a team that is falling apart.
- Expert Pick: Patriots ML
Green Bay Packers @ Detroit Lions
I guess being featured on hard knocks and showing how much heart you have does not equal winning every single game. However, the Packers have looked even worse and this is the Lions Super Bowl.
- Expert Pick: Lions ML
Los Angeles Chargers @ Atlanta Falcons
The Los Angeles Chargers are dealing with a lot of injuries right now to Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, but the Falcons defense has not been great either.
- Expert Pick: Chargers ML
Buffalo Bills @ New York Jets
Everyone once believes that Santa is real, however there is not a single soul that thinks the Jets can take down the Bills.
- Expert Pick: Bills ML
Minnesota Vikings @ Washington Commanders
The Commanders have made it public they are looking at options of selling their team, well the Vikings might have to show them why they own them first.
- Expert Pick: Vikings ML
Carolina Panthers @ Cincinnati Bengals
Cincy’s offense has looked its best when Joe Burrow has time to throw, and Carolina is 30th in sack rate.
- Expert Pick: Bengals ML
Las Vegas Raiders @ Jacksonville Jaguars
The Las Vegas Raiders and Derek Carr continue to showcase that they can build around the “star” QB but nothing will happen. Trevor puts the nail in the coffin.
- Expert Pick: Jaguars ML
Miami Dolphins @ Chicago Bears
It’s a bad spot for Miami in a second straight road game. This Matt Eberflus-led Bears team is going to get better as the season progresses, and Chicago is a live ‘dog in this matchup.
- Expert Pick: Bears ML
Seattle Seahawks @ Arizona Cardinals
We have a primetime matchup here as the Seattle Seahawks have taken this division by storm. However, the Cardinals own the Seahawks and will showcase why Hopkins continues to run wild against them.
- Expert Pick: Cardinals ML
Los Angeles Rams @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have failed to cover and win in the last six goes. Tom Brady is going through a divorce and the Rams are gonna finally come out and play.
- Expert Pick: Rams ML
Sunday Night Football
Tennessee Titans @ Kansas City Chiefs
Tennessee is still without their star QB and now take on the Chiefs who are powerful at home. Remember, Mahomes is near perfect against the Titans in his career.
- Expert Pick: Chiefs ML
Monday Night Football
Baltimore Ravens @ New Orleans Saints
The Ravens won’t have No. 1 wideout Rashod Bateman (foot), while Gus Edwards’ status is unclear. The Saints will be primed to stop Baltimore’s running game and they can limit it. The Saints rank No. 1 in rushing defense EPA
- Expert Pick: Saints ML
