NFL Week 9 Picks Against The Spread 2019: Predictions ATS, Updated Betting Odds For Every Game

With 14 games on the schedule in Week 9 of the 2019 NFL season, nine teams are favored on the road. Two first-place teams are home underdogs. No home team is favored by double digits.

Below are picks against the spread for every game in Week 9, as well as updated betting odds at Las Vegas and online sportsbooks. Betting lines and trends are courtesy of OddsShark.

San Francisco 49ers (-10) at Arizona Cardinals

No one is scoring against the 49ers these days. San Francisco has surrendered 23 total points over their last four games. Arizona’s three-game winning streak from Weeks 5-7 was bolstered by a schedule that included three of the NFL’s worst defenses. The Cardinals came back to earth with a 31-9 loss in New Orleans, and Thursday’s matchup with the 49ers will be another one-sided affair.

Prediction ATS: San Francisco

Houston Texans (-1.5) at Jacksonville Jaguars (London)

Maybe the Jaguars will have some kind of advantage since they play in London every year. Houston has never made the trip across the pond, and they are dealing with some key injuries after losing J.J. Watt for the season. Gardner Minshew continues to make the case that Nick Foles shouldn’t get the starting job back when he’s healthy.

Prediction ATS: Jacksonville

Minnesota Vikings (-2.5) at Kansas City Chiefs

Kirk Cousins and Minnesota’s offense has torched subpar defenses this season. League-leading rusher Dalvin Cook will have his way with a Chiefs’ defense that ranks 30th in both rushing yards allowed and opponents’ yards per carry. Kansas City has lost three straight home games, including two with Patrick Mahomes under center. The Chiefs are 1-4 against the spread in their last five contests at Arrowhead Stadium.

Prediction ATS: Minnesota

Washington Redskins (+9.5) at Buffalo Bills

Buffalo’s offense makes it difficult to pick the Bills to cover a spread this high. They’ve really only had one easy victory all season long, playing competitive games with the Jets, Bengals, Titans and even the Dolphins. Buffalo is 2-5 against the spread in their last seven home games.

Prediction ATS: Washington

Tennessee Titans (+4) at Carolina Panthers

Tennessee’s offense has been noticeably better with Ryan Tannehill under center. The quarterback has passer ratings of 120.1 and 109.8 as a starter. Carolina’s defense has fallen off in recent weeks, allowing at least 26 points in three straight games. The Titans can keep this within a field goal.

Prediction ATS: Tennessee

New York Jets (-3) at Miami Dolphins

The betting line was close to six points before the Jets listened to offers for just about all their good players at Tuesday’s trade deadline. Maybe Jamal Adams isn’t happy that New York explored dealing him, but that won’t stop him from making big plays against the NFL’s worst scoring offense. Facing a Miami defense that ranks dead last with a 120.2 opponents’ passer rating might be just what Sam Darnold needs to get back on track, at least for a week.

Prediction ATS: New York

Chicago Bears (+5) at Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles haven’t been able to sustain success this season, only winning two games in a row when they hosted Luke Falk and the Jets after a victory. Chicago’s defense will keep this game close, even if Mitchell Trubisky and the offense has another poor showing.

Prediction ATS: Chicago

Indianapolis Colts (-1) Pittsburgh Steelers

Pittsburgh is 0-4 against teams that have winning records. Mason Rudolph won’t get much going against Indianapolis’ defense. The Colts should probably be favored by close to a field goal against a mediocre Steelers’ team. Indianapolis is 4-2 against the spread in their last six games.

Prediction ATS: Indianapolis

Detroit Lions (+2) at Oakland Raiders

Oakland has quietly moved the ball better than most NFL offenses, ranking fourth in yards per play. Detroit is giving up more yards per game than anyone. It’s hard to pick the Lions on the road in this spot when they aren’t even getting a field goal. The Raiders are 5-1 against the spread in their last six home games.

Prediction ATS: Oakland

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+6) at Seattle Seahawks

Seattle has played a bunch of close games this season, beating only Arizona by more than a touchdown. Russell Wilson will find a way to win this game, but the Bucs will move the ball against a Seahawks’ defense that ranks last in the NFC in opponents’ yards per play.

Prediction ATS: Tampa Bay

Green Bay Packers (-3.5) at Los Angeles Chargers

The Packers just beat the Chiefs on the road. Los Angeles might not be any better than Kansas City, even with Mahomes sidelined. The Chargers were fortunate to barely beat Trubisky and the Bears in Week 8. They won’t be so lucky against Aaron Rodgers when he might be on his way toward winning a third MVP award.

Prediction ATS: Green Bay

Cleveland Browns (-3) at Denver Broncos

It’s hard to pick the Browns as road favorites against one of the NFL’s best defenses. No one knows what to expect from Brandon Allen in his first start, but it’s not as if Joe Flacco was playing great football. The Broncos are fourth in total defense. Three of their losses have come by exactly two points.

Prediction ATS: Denver

New England Patriots (-3.5) at Baltimore Ravens

New England might finally have a bad night in Week 9. Lamar Jackson will come up big on the ground to circumvent the Patriots’ historic pass defense. The loss of several starters on offense will finally come back to hurt the defending champs.

Prediction ATS: Baltimore

Dallas Cowboys (-7) at New York Giants

The Cowboys blew out the Giants in Week 1. With Daniel Jones continuing to turn the ball over and Dallas getting healthier on offense, Dak Prescott and the Cowboys should, once again, move the ball with ease against a bad New York defense. New York is 0-5 straight up and against the spread in their last five meetings with Dallas.

Prediction ATS: Dallas

Season Record: 58-63
