By Sascha Paruk in NFL News
Published:
- Four teams (Browns, Buccaneers, Eagles, Jets) are on bye in Week 9, leaving 14 games on the docket
- The NFL Week 9 lines have already been posted at online sportsbooks
- Below, see the opening NFL Week 9 odds, including spread, moneyline, and total for all 14 games
NFL Week 9 is a doozi on paper, highlighted by a rematch of last year’s AFC Championship Game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills in the late-afternoon window on Sunday. Bettors will also get to feat on a crucial NFC North matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions in the early window on Sunday.
Below, I have set out the opening NFL Week 9 odds for every game on the schedule. The Cleveland Browns, New York Jets, Philadelphia Eagles, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are all on bye, leaving 14 games on the Week 9 schedule.
NFL Week 9 Odds
The biggest spread on the board in the NFL Week 9 odds is 13.5 in Saints/Rams, with LA favored by nearly two touchdowns at home. The highest total is shared by Chiefs/Bills and Cardinals/Cowboys, which have both opened at 51.5, though the over is favored in Chiefs/Bills while the under is a slight -115 favorite in Cardinals/Cowboys.
Opening Vikings vs Lions Odds – Detroit Heavy Home Favorites
Books aren’t expecting much of a contest in the Vikings/Lions game in Detroit in Week 9. The 5-2 Lions, who just behind Green Bay (4-1-1) for the division lead, have opened as big 8.5-point home favorites over the 3-4 Vikings, who have been without injured starter JJ McCarthy since Week 2.
Veteran backup Carson Wentz is getting sacked at an alarming rate (19 in just five games) and has just six TD passes to five INTs over those five starts, with a 65.1 completion percentage and 85.8 passer rating. It’s clear that oddsmakers see Detroit’s third-rated pass rush (23 sacks in seven games) feasting on the lead-footed 32-year-old.
Opening Chiefs vs Bills Odds – Buffalo Home Underdogs to Mahomes’ Chiefs
The Buffalo Bills (5-2) put up a hell of a fight in hostile territory in last season’s AFC Championship Game, falling 32-29 at Arrowhead to the Kansas City Chiefs (4-3) in an instant classic.
In Week 9, the Bills well get to stay home in Orchard Park while Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs will have to deal with an unenviable combination of November weather in upstate New York and the always-ear-piercing Bills Mafia.
Home-field advantage doesn’t mean much to oddsmakers, though, with the Bills opening as 1.5-point home underdogs against the spread and +102 moneyline ‘dogs.
