NFL Week 9 features 11 Sunday games after the Jaguars' dominant Thursday night win over the Ravens. Betting analysts highlight several spread picks, player props, and anytime touchdown scorer selections for the weekend slate.
Spread Picks
Colts +4.5 vs. Cowboys: Indianapolis is selling assets but remains competitive against a Dallas team laying too many points on the road. Jonathan Taylor could exploit a Cowboys defense that ranks among the worst against running backs.
Chargers +6 vs. Texans: Despite an 0-7 record, Los Angeles gets a high line against a Houston team coming off a bye. The Chargers are unlikely to go winless all season.
Patriots -3 vs. Packers: New England has been strong at home after the first two weeks. Green Bay may be without Micah Parsons, and the Patriots could be motivated by Tom Brady's return to Foxborough.
Player Props
Ashton Jeanty Over 28.5 rushing yards: After a soft benching, the Raiders rookie is expected to bounce back with at least a few carries against a low yardage threshold.
Ja'Marr Chase Over 77.5 receiving yards: The Bengals' top receiver faces a Falcons defense that is stronger against the run than the pass, creating a favorable matchup.
Anytime Touchdown Scorers
Jameson Williams (+160): The Lions wideout has scored five touchdowns in his last three games and continues to receive high-value red-zone looks.
Blake Corum (+110): The Rams rookie has three touchdowns in four games and benefits from Sean McVay's aggressive run-heavy approach.
Braelon Allen (+240): With Breece Hall returning from injury, the Jets' big-bodied back still offers value for goal-line touches.
Futures note: Jacksonville to face the Bears in the Super Bowl is listed at 25-1, while Jaguars vs. Rams sits at 29-1 and Jaguars vs. Packers at 70-1.
