Before the tenth Sunday of the 2025 regular season kicks off, let’s have some fun by taking a look at the lines for the NFL Week 9 games.
My overall record is 62-72-1. The BGN Community is better at 65-69-1.
Here are suggestions when trying to beat the odds.
**JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS at HOUSTON TEXANS (-1.5):** The Jags are worse than their record indicates and the Texans are better than their record indicates. **PICK: Texans -1.5**
**NEW YORK GIANTS at CHICAGO BEARS (-4.5):** The Giants are really bad and really banged up. **PICK: Bears -4.5**
**BALTIMORE RAVENS (-4.5) at MINNESOTA VIKINGS:** The Vikings put forth a nice effort against the Lions last weekend but they won’t be able to keep that up against a Ravens team that’s on the rise with Lamar Jackson back. **PICK: Ravens -4.5**
**CLEVELAND BROWNS (-2.5) at NEW YORK JETS:** Fading Justin Fields works more often than not. **PICK: Browns -2.5**
**NEW ORLEANS SAINTS at CAROLINA PANTHERS (-5.5):** The Panthers have been frisky but they’re not so good that they deserve to be favored by this much. **PICK: Saints +5.5**
**BUFFALO BILLS (-8.5) at MIAMI DOLPHINS:** The Dolphins haven’t played much good football this year … but when they have, it’s been at home. They’ll make it competitive. **PICK: Dolphins +8.5**
**NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS at TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (-2.5):** The Bucs are coming off their bye. The Pats have looked good but they’re largely untested against higher levels of competition. Not giving New England the benefit of the doubt just yet. **PICK: Buccaneers -2.5**
**ARIZONA CARDINALS at SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (-7):** The Cardinals played on the road in Week 9 … and now have to travel on short rest to play the Seahawks. Just not a great spot for Arizona to be in. Especially against a Seahawks team that’s been really good. **PICK: Seahawks -7**
**LOS ANGELES RAMS (-5.5) at SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS:** The Rams are arguably the top team in the NFL. They’re not going to get swept by a banged up Niners team. And this line is telling you as much. **PICK: Rams -5.5**
**DETROIT LIONS (-7.5) at WASHINGTON COMMANDERS:** Love the Lions in this spot. They’re going to be mad coming off a disappointing home loss to the Vikings. The Commanders, meanwhile, are looking pretty lifeless. **PICK: Lions -7.5**
**PITTSBURGH STEELERS at LOS ANGELES CHARGERS (-2.5):** The Steelers’ defense going up against a Chargers offense missing both of their starting tackles seems like a mismatch in Pittsburgh’s favor. **PICK: Steelers +2.5**
**PHILADELPHIA EAGLES at GREEN BAY PACKERS (-1.5):** This line originally had the Packers favored by 2.5 points. The spread moving in Philly’s favor fits the vibe of this matchup with Green Bay reeling a little bit and the Eagles poised to make a run coming out of the bye. I like the Eagles to win this game outright, so, I’ll absolutely take the points. **PICK: Eagles +1.5**
