NFL 2018 Week 9 Lines: Point Spreads, Betting Odds From Las Vegas, Online Sportsbooks

There's a shortage of big home favorites on the Week 9 NFL schedule. No team is favored by more than a touchdown in their own stadium, according to the early betting odds, and most of the home favorites are laying a field goal or less.

Three teams that would be in the playoffs if the season ended in Week 8 are exactly 1.5-point favorites at home Sunday. The Washington Redskins can extend their lead atop the NFC East with a win over the Atlanta Falcons, and the New Orleans Saints would be in the driver’s seat for the conference’s top seed by defeating the Los Angeles Rams in the Superdome. The betting line lists the Seattle Seahawks as small favorites over the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Carolina Panthers are favored over Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers by seven points at home. Carolina is two games ahead of Tampa Bay in the NFC South.

The Chicago Bears are the biggest Week 9 favorites, and the point spread could continue to rise over the course of the week. The Bears are laying nine points in Buffalo, and the Bills don’t seem to know which quarterback will be under center. Josh Allen is still recovering from his elbow injury, and Nathan Peterman had to replace Derek Anderson when the starter left Monday’s game.

The Bears and Bills have the week’s lowest total. The total for the contest in New Orleans opened the week at 60 points.

The Cleveland Browns are heavy underdogs at home against the Kansas City Chiefs. It’ll be Cleveland’s first game following the firings of head coach Hue Jackson and offensive coordinator Todd Haley.
