NFL Week 9 Spreads, Money Lines and Totals
We’ll have to wait until Monday night of Week 9 to see the best team in the NFL play. That’s when the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. There are some intriguing matchups on Sunday, though, including a NFC North tilt between the two best teams in the division. The Detroit Lions take their five-game winning streak into Green Bay to tangle with the Packers. Detroit owns the best record in the conference at 6-1 and is 26-8 over its last 34 regular season contests. The Lions have also climbed up the NFL futures odds board as a Super Bowl favorite and opened as a field goal favorite.
The betting week starts on Thursday when the underachieving New York Jets are once again featured in primetime. It was a good plan to include the Jets in numerous primetime games. The addition of Aaron Rodgers to the largest media market was a boon for the NFL. However, it hasn’t quite worked out. Rodgers was injured in the first game last season and the Jets have been atrocious so far in 2024 winning just two games. Despite that New York opened as a 2-point favorite. Miami might be the last team to prevent Buffalo from running away with another AFC East title. The Bills have won three straight games and they have four more wins than the rest of the division. The return of Tua Tagovailoa last week helped the Dolphins score their most points in a game but they lost for the fifth time in six outings and they are just 1-6 ATS.
Nine home teams are favored in the 15-game Week 9 slate with Baltimore and Kansas City having the largest early line spreads. Both teams are 9-point home favorites with the Ravens entertaining Denver and the Bucs visiting KC in a Super Bowl LV rematch. That’s a theme for KC, which two weeks ago dusted off the Niners in a rematch of Super Bowl LVIII and LIV. For the second time this season the Ravens lost when laying at least a touchdown. The Browns upset them on Sunday as a 7.5-point dog and the Raiders got them in Week 2 winning outright 26-23 as an 8.5-point dog.

*Odds as of Tuesday, October 29, 1:00 PM ET
Twice over the first seven weeks of the season did we see a team close as a double-digit favorite. It happened that many times in Week 8 and the teams laying points covered rather easily. The Lions spotted Tennessee 12.5 points then proceeded to rack up 52 of their own in the first three quarter en route to a 52-14 cover. The biggest jump in a line occurred in the Denver-Carolina game where the Panthers opened as a 7-point dog and closed catching 13 points. It didn’t matter since the Broncos won the game 28-14.
The Panthers are a money pit with just one payout in eight games. This week’s matchup with the Saints might be their best chance to get a win and the money. The Saints are reeling having lost six straight games after an impressive 2-0 start. They could also have Derek Carr back behind center after the offense struggled with Jake Haener and Spencer Rattler at the controls. The Saints are laying 7-points on the early line.
The Indianapolis Colts are the most profitable team in the NFL with payouts in seven of their eight games. Every contest has been decided by six or fewer points so getting Indy +6 in its game against the Vikings is a good sign. The interconference matchup was flexed into the Sunday Night Football slot replacing the Jacksonville at Philadelphia game. Minnesota started the year 5-0 SU and ATS but has dropped its last two.
A few favored teams lost big last week, but overall it was another good week for teams laying points. Favorites were 11-5 SU but just 8-8 ATS with three teams – Green Bay, Houston and Kansas City – failing to cover the spread. Over the last four weeks favored teams are 44-15 SU and 36-22-1 ATS.
