NFL Week 9 Spreads, Money Lines and Totals
Week 9 opens with a pair of teams on the edge of playoff contention that could also end up in the red. The Pittsburgh Steelers will host the Tennessee Titans in an AFC matchup of teams on edge.
The Titans flopped miserably in 2022 to finish 7-10. A popgun offense with poor quarterback play was a big reason why. Head coach Mike Vrabel is one of the most respected in the NFL. But Vrabel had little to work with, especially on the offensive side of the football.
Quarterback Ryan Tannehill was a first round pick of the Miami Dolphins in 2012. In his career, he has been off more than on. But in 2019, he caught lightning in a bottle and led the Titans to the AFC Championship Game. After cashing in with a huge contract, Tannehill has gone steadily downhill. And last year was the final straw for Tannehill. The Titans finished 7-10 and out of the playoffs. As a result, Tennessee shopped for a new QB.
On Opening Night of the 2023 NFL Draft, Will Levis was all dressed up with nowhere to go. The humiliation was total. As was the social media hate. Levis was ripped for being one of the biggest frauds on the board. In fact, his stunning girlfriend stole the show. Her pictures saturated social media as she sat next to a moping Levis. Finally, the Titans took Levis in the second round. From there, Levis will be given every chance to unseat Tannehill as the starting quarterback.
Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Steelers went through the fire of 2022 with a rookie quarterback, Kenny Pickett. But at the end of the season, head coach Mike Tomlin led the Men of Steel to a 9-8 record. The strong finish sparked hopes for a playoff bid in 2023.
