NFL Picks Against the Spread: Week 9 Games

Here are some suggestions when trying to beat the odds.

NFL: Washington Commanders at Indianapolis Colts Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports

Before the eighth Sunday of the 2022 NFL regular season kicks off, let’s have some fun by taking a look at the spreads for the Week 8 games.

You can CLICK HERE for straight up NFL picks WITHOUT regard to the spread. You can find all of the NFL betting lines via DraftKings Sportsbook.

My overall record so far is 59-59-5. The BGN community is also 59-59-5. Still tied up.

Here are suggestions when trying to beat the odds. Also, don’t forget to check out our weekly picks and previews of every game (plus Eagles-Texans reaction) on The SB Nation NFL Show’s The Look Ahead podcast featuring RJ Ochoa, Rob “Stats” Guerrera, and me.

NFL WEEK 9 GAMES

MINNEOSTA VIKINGS (-3) at WASHINGTON COMMANDERS: The Commanders’ past couple wins are more of an indictment of their opponents than a testament to their success. Kirk Cousins is still motivated to beat his old team. PICK: Vikings -3

CAROLINA PANTHERS at CINCINNATI BENGALS (-7): Hard to fully buy these Bengals without Ja’Marr Chase. Especially coming off short rest. Cincy wins but fails to cover. PICK: Panthers +7

GREEN BAY PACKERS (-4) at DETROIT LIONS: The Packers’ vibes are awful but the Lions’ defense is even worse. Historically bad. PICK: Packers -4

LOS ANGELES CHARGERS (-2.5) at ATLANTA FALCONS: Why are the Bolts favored? They haven’t looked great and they’re missing a number of key players. PICK: Falcons +2.5

LAS VEGAS RAIDERS (-2.5) at JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS: Tough to pick. Trevor Lawrence stinks. But so do the Raiders. Ultimately have to lean with Doug Pederson over Josh McDaniels. Wouldn’t be the first time he’s come out on top against his side. PICK: Jaguars +2.5

BALTIMORE RAVENS (-2) at NEW ORLEANS SAINTS: Bit of a fishy line. But the Ravens should be able to take care of business, especially coming off extra rest.
