Bills Big Favorites
Despite Indy’ big number, it is the Buffalo Bills rather than the Colts who are the biggest favorites in Week 9. The Bills are 13.5-point choices on the road over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Bills looked rusty coming off their bye week before pulling away for a 26-11 victory over the Miami Dolphins at home Sunday.
The score was 3-3 at halftime before Josh Allen threw touchdown passes on two second-half drives to help the Bills (5-2) gain separation. The drives culminated with TD passes of 8 yards to Gabriel Davis and 19 yards to Stefon Diggs.
That Allen to Diggs connection is unmatched.

Jordan Poyer sealed the victory by intercepting a pass by Tua Tagovailoa with 2:21 remaining.
The Jaguars (1-6) were thumped by the Seahawks 31-7 in Seattle.
Jacksonville avoided the fourth shutout in franchise history when Trevor Lawrence threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to Jamal Agnew with 1:49 left.

2.5 Popular Spread
Three games opened with 2.5-point spreads, the lowest numbers on the boards.
The New England Patriots (4-4) are favored by that many on the road over the Carolina Panthers (4-4), as are the Cincinnati Bengals (5-3) at home over the Cleveland Browns (4-4), and the Kansas City Chiefs (3-4) over the Green Bay Packers (7-1).
The Patriots’ Adrian Phillips intercepted two passes, returning one for the go-ahead touchdown against his former team, as New England beat the Los Angeles Chargers 27-24 on Sunday on the road.
GO ADRIAN!!@Phillips_17 pick-six for the lead!

The Browns lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers 15-10 at home as wide receiver Jarvis Landry had a costly fumble and dropped two passes from Baker Mayfield.

Is That Out of Line?
Though the 11.5-point spread for the Thursday night game is hefty, it is easy to envision enough money going on the Colts for it to go up. Though, the Colts have only one more win than the Jets at midseason, the talent gap between the two teams is considerable.
The Cardinals are 3-point road favorites over the San Francisco 49ers despite coming off their first loss. However, look for that number go up a bit as Arizona quarterback Kyler Murray is a fan favorite.
