We’re officially more than halfway through the NFL season. To be honest, the Week 9 slate is pretty ugly. Heavy favorites and backup QBs make this week tough to bet on, but we’ll do our best. Here are the Week 9 best bets for the NFL season.

Chiefs ML vs. Dolphins (-125)
Football Sunday opens up this week with a banger matchup in Frankfurt, Germany. The long-awaited matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins. Two high-powered offenses colliding is almost guaranteed to start the week off right. The Dolphins are 6-2, but their schedule has been easy, and both times they’ve faced competitive teams, they’ve lost. The Chiefs are coming off a very, very bad loss against the Broncos, but we’ve seen this team bounce back before, and I think they do in this game. Tua Tagovailoa has struggled when put under pressure, and Kansas City’s defensive line will have enough impact to throw Tua off his game. It’s going to be a close game, but Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs should be able to pull this one out.
Falcons -4.5 vs. Vikings (-115)
A week ago, I would say to hammer the Vikings against Atlanta. Unfortunately, a week ago, Vikings’ QB Kirk Cousins tore his Achilles, so the Vikings will turn to Jaren Hall. Atlanta will also be making a QB change, but this one is their decision. Taylor Heinicke will get the start over Desmond Ridder in this game, and I think this is the right move. Heinicke has experience, and all of a sudden, the Falcons are in the mix to win the NFC South. Ridder doesn’t move the needle for this offense, so it makes sense to make a change. Honestly, I just can’t see Jaren Hall leading the Vikings down the field against a talented Falcons defense to score enough points to compete here. I’ll take the Falcons spread in this one.
SEA/BAL over 44 (-110) & Seahawks +5.5
This is going to be a very exciting game. Two teams that have been playing some of their best football the last few weeks clash, and it’s going to be a banger. First pick in this one; I like the over. 44 points aren’t that many when you get offenses that can move the ball against anybody. Lamar Jackson is, in my opinion, the MVP frontrunner halfway through the season, and his passing ability is finally being displayed. However, Seattle’s defense is pretty solid, and now they bolstered up their defensive line by trading for defensive lineman Leonard Williams. Williams is going to have a massive impact on creating pressure, and that will be on full display. The Seahawks offense is good under Geno Smith, and he’s going to keep this game close. Even if the Ravens get the win, this is going to be a close game. 6 points feel like too many, so I’ll take the Seahawks’ spread against Baltimore.
Bengals ML vs. Bills (-125)
The Bills’ loss of Matt Milano has been felt throughout their defense. Teams are picking them apart over the middle, and that’s affecting their entire defense. It makes Buffalo more susceptible to the deep ball, and this is a Bengals’ team that’s finally starting to figure it out. Cincinnati started the season slow, but we’re finally starting to see the Joe Burrow-led offense that we’re used to. There’s going to be a lot of points scored in this game, and it’s just fantastic that this is a primetime matchup. This will be the game where the Bengals will officially be “back.” I expect huge games from both Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase to lead the Bengals to a Sunday Night Football win. Take the Bengals to win this one.
