2025 NFL Week 9 Best Bets - Football Lines
The New York Jets get a chance to enjoy their first win of the season as one of four teams on a bye in Week 9. The J-E-T-S became the last team to win a game and they did it in dramatic fashion rallying from a 31-16 fourth quarter deficit to knock off Cincinnati 39-38. The Jets scored 23 points in the final frame which is more than they scored in the previous two games combined. It was a brutal loss for the Bengals, who are just one win behind first place Pittsburgh in the wide open AFC North. The Bengals look to rebound against the Chicago Bears on Sunday as a 2.5-point home dog.
The door is open in the AFC North for the Ravens, who ended a four-game skid by stopping Chicago’s four-game winning streak on Sunday. And it looks like Lamar Jackson is ready to return after missing the last three games. With several defensive starters back in the lineup the Ravens allowed 33 points in the last two games after surrendering an average of 35.4 points in their first five games. Baltimore opens the betting week on Thursday Night Football with a trip to face the Miami Dolphins as a 7.5-point favorite on the opening betting line.
We’re hoping for a better week of football after 12 of 13 games in Week 8 were decided by at least 10 points with seven of them having a margin of 20 or more points. The only one score game was the Jets contest. Week 9 is setting up to be a weird one with three teams opening as a double-digit favorite. Green Bay is laying 13 points to Carolina and the Rams are favored by 13.5 points against the Saints. The Chargers opened as a 10-point road favorite for their trip to Tennessee. There have been 10 double-digit favorites in the first eight weeks with those teams going 10-0 SU and 6-4 ATS.

*Odds as of Tuesday, October 28, 11:00 AM ET
After winning 12 games last season and reaching the NFC Championship game behind Offensive Rookie of the Year Jayden Daniels, the Commanders became the sexy pick for primetime games with five of them on the schedule along with a Christmas Day contest. The team formerly known as the Redskins plays for the fourth time this season and second straight under the lights hosting Seattle on Sunday night in a crucial NFC tilt. Daniels is expected to be back for this game giving the team a lift. The Seahawks are coming off their bye having won two straight and five of their last six. They are 3-0 SU and ATS on the road and they are an early 3.5-point favorite.
There are two potential game of the week candidates on Sunday with both involving AFC clubs. The Colts take the NFL’s best record to Pittsburgh as a 3-point favorite for a showdown with the Steelers. Daniel Jones is making a case for MVP leading the highest scoring team in the NFL. Jones has completed more than 71 percent of his passes for 2,062 yards and 13 TDs. Jonathan Taylor leads the NFL in rushing and it could be a big offensive game against a porous Steelers defense.
Beating the Chiefs would be huge for the Buffalo Bills, whose five wins have come against teams with a combined record of 10-29 after Week 8. James Cook III had a career game rushing for 216 yards and two TDs to help end a 2-game losing streak with a 40-9 romp over Carolina. The Bills are a rare home underdog catching 1.5-points on the early line. The Bills have won the last four regular season meetings but saw their season end four times in the last five years with playoff losses.
The total opened at 51.5 and is one of four games with an over/under of 50 or more points. The expected return of Lamar Jackson has the total for the TNF contest at 50. The Chicago at Cincinnati game is at 51.5. The biggest total on the early line is for the Monday Night Football contest between the Arizona Cardinals and Dallas Cowboys. Dallas is second in the NFL averaging 30.8 points and 384.1 yards per game, and they are next to last in the league giving up 31.6 points and 404.6 yards. The Boys and their opponent have combined for more than 56 points in each of their last five games cashing the OVER every time.
