NFL Week 9 Betting Online
Week 9 of the 2025 NFL season opens with a Thursday night Prime Video matchup of the Baltimore Colts at the Miami Dolphins. At first glance, fans and gamblers expect a strong quarterback matchup of Lamar Jackson of the Ravens and Tua Tagovailoa of the Dolphins. However, there is no certainty that it will come to fruition. Tua has not been able to stay in the Miami lineup, missing large chunks of time with various injuries that include a concussion. In fact, there was a point in the 2024 season when speculation was strong that Tua would have to retire. Fortunately, that turned out not to be the case. Still, if he manages to answer the bell for Week 9, it will come as a surprise to many.

2025 NFL Week 9 Schedule
TEAMS ON BYE: Browns, Jets, Eagles & Buccaneers
In the early Sunday afternoon window, the Green Bay Packers will host the Carolina Panthers. This game also has the potential for an interesting quarterback matchup of Carolina’s Bryce Young and Jordan Love of the Packers.
Young was the Panthers' first overall pick out of Alabama in 2023. Although he was touted as the franchise's savior, he has instead been a major disappointment. However, in all fairness, Young’s career is in jeopardy of being wasted in what has emerged as the worst organization in the NFL, if not all sports.
Since 2022, the Panthers have on their fifth head coach. Dave Canales arrives from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he was offensive coordinator. Previously, Canales had a lengthy list of various assistant coaching jobs under Pete Carroll with the Seattle Seahawks, including QB coach. But as long as David Tepper is the owner of the Panthers, whoever the head coach is may not matter. Tepper has replaced former Washington Commanders owner Daniel Snyder as the worst in football.
At the end of the 2024 season, the Packers fired several assistants, including defensive coordinator Joe Barry. Former Boston College head coach Jeff Hafley took over the DC position. The defense actually had better metrics for points and yards allowed in 2024, but head coach Matt LaFleur needed a scapegoat, and Barry was not popular with Green Bay fans for past problems. However, if LaFleur’s prized pick, Hafley, does not deliver, that will be on LaFleur.
In the late afternoon window, one of the great NFL rivalries will be renewed when the Kansas City Chiefs visit the Buffalo Bills. If not for the Chiefs, the Bills likely would have made the Super Bowl with QB Josh Allen and head coach Sean McDermott. But Kansas City has been the immovable object for Buffalo when it mattered most. The misery continued last year when the Chiefs beat the Bills 32-29 at Buffalo in the AFC championship game.
Based on the respective histories of the teams in this series, Buffalo’s Highmark Stadium will have an electric atmosphere. The Bills Mafia will be out for blood agaisnt the Chiefs. And Buffalo has scored their share of wins agaisnt Kansas City in the regular season. However, when it matters most, the Chiefs own the Bills.
ABC gets the Monday night game in Dallas between the Cowboys and the Arizona Cardinals. By this point in the season, fans, gamblers, and Jerry Jones will know if the Cowboys have a legitimate shot at a playoff berth and if the Brian Schottenheimer hire as head coach was a better idea than initially thought. For that matter, we will see if Arizona can continue to build on its 2024 improvement.
