NFL Week 9 Odds: Complete Moneylines, Spreads & Totals For Every Game
Promo Code: BOOKIESBG150
If it feels like there have been a lot of lopsided final scores this 2021 NFL season, it’s not a mirage.
To be sure, 2021 has become the “Year of the Blowout” in NFL betting. Through seven weeks, there have been 21 games in which the final margin of victory is at least 21 points. That’s the second-most to at that point in a year over the last 50 years.
NFL Week 9 odds features two games with double-digit odds at betting sites and four that are at least a touchdown in size. There are also five games on the slate with a spread of a field goal or less, so all is not lost for late-game heroics when making your NFL picks.

Thursday, Nov. 4
New York Jets at Indianapolis Colts (-10), 8:20 p.m. ET
The Indianapolis Colts won 45-30 to cover, though Colts' backers had to sweat it out a bit in the fourth quarter when the Jets put up two touchdowns.
Sunday, Nov. 7
Atlanta Falcons at New Orleans Saints (-6), 1 p.m. ET
Atlanta is 3-4, but its last four games have all been decided by a TD or less. An offense that was carrying the load fizzled vs. Carolina in Week 8, amassing a scant 213 total yards. The defense limited the Panthers but couldn’t get off the field on third down (10-of17) in a narrow 19-14 loss.
The Saints allowed 375 yards to Tom Brady but rattled him for two INTs, including a game-clinching pick-6, and beat the Bucs 36-27 to make a statement in the NFC South race. New Orleans lost QB Jameis Winston to a torn ACL, however; he’s out for the year. Former Broncos QB Trevor Siemian did enough and didn’t turn the ball over. It will be his job, at least until Taysom Hill (concussion) returns from his own injury. New Orleans ranks top five in QB rating allowed and in completion percentage – two attributes likely to pay off vs. the Falcons.

Denver Broncos at Dallas Cowboys (-10), 1 p.m. ET
Teddy Bridgewater averaged under 7.0 yards per attempt in three of the last four games in an offense that has lacked any explosiveness. He upped that to 8.2, and Denver edged Washington 17-10 in Week 8, though the offense barely chipped in. Denver’s top-five defense held Washington to 273 yards and forced two turnovers. The defense, despite the injuries, ranks in the top 10 vs. the pass and even against the run.
The lone way to success vs. the Cowboys was presumably to outscore them. They rank No. 1 in scoring, No. 1 in passing and No. 1 in yards. But Dak Prescott didn’t play Sunday night vs. a potent Vikings team, and the defense did the job in a 20-16 road win. The defense was giving up 381 yards per game allowed just 278 to Minnesota, 136 under its average.

New England Patriots (-3.5) at Carolina Panthers, 1 p.m. ET
Mac Jones had a QB rating of over 100 in the Patriots’ last two games heading into Week 8. He didn’t hit that mark vs. the Chargers, but he hit the more-important stat: New England pulled off a 27-24 upset. The team rushed for 147 yards, led by Damien Harris’ 80, the first time in three weeks he didn’t hit 100. The Patriots defense ranks bottom-five in pressuring the QB but top-five in QB rating allowed.
The wheels were coming off Carolina, but the Panthers righted the ship in a 19-13 win at Atlanta in Week 8. The offense didn’t do much yet again – Sam Darnold threw for 129 yards and no TDs – but the third-ranked defense rebounded to hold Atlanta’s potent offense to just 212 yards. Darnold has just four TDs and seven INTs the last five games.

Minnesota Vikings at Baltimore Ravens (-6), 1 p.m. ET
Minnesota ranked top-10 in rushing and in passing but were shut down by a so-so Cowboys defense, at home, in a 20-16 loss. Kirk Cousins has 14 TDs and just two INTs through Week 8 while the Vikings’ defense leads the NFL in sacks and No. 1 in pressuring the QB, but they were gashed by Dak Prescott replacement Cooper Rush; he passed for 325 yards.
The Ravens followed their 34-6 beatdown of the Chargers by getting mauled 41-17 at home by the Bengals. They got a bye week to think about the loss. Under coach John Harbaugh, Baltimore has a 49-39 record before its bye but a stellar 80-40 after.

Cleveland Browns at Cincinnati Bengals (-2), 1 p.m. ET
Baker Mayfield returned from injury but wasn’t himself, passing for only 225 yards and no TDs in a 15-10 home loss to the rival Steelers. The Browns pass D ranked in the top 5 in yards and completion percentage allowed, but Ben Roethlisberger gained 266 yards with a 65% rate. The Browns have beaten the Bengals in five of six. They won both last year by a combined eight points, each team totaling at least 65 points.
Cincy presumably served notice to the rest of the NFL in Week 7 by crushing Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. But the Bengals followed that effort by losing to the Jets in Week 8. A Bengals defense that ranked 10th in yards allowed (340/game) was ripped for 511 yards by the 31st-ranked Jets offense. As mentioned, Cincy doesn’t have much recent success vs. its Ohio rival.

Buffalo Bills (-14.5) at Jacksonville Jaguars, 1 p.m. ET
The Bills rank No. 1 in fewest points and yards allowed, in addition to in QB rating allowed, a miniscule 62.5 average, with a league-best 5.7 yards per attempt through the air. The defense got it done again in Week 8, holding the Dolphins to just 11 points in a 15-point home win. The second-ranked scoring offense, limited for three quarters, showcased its explosiveness with 16 fourth-quarter points.
The Jaguars outgained the Seahawks and lost the turnover battle just 1-0 but still got stomped 31-7 in Week 8. Trevor Lawrence passed the ball 55 times but managed just 238 yards. Jacksonville’s defense still has major issues against the pass, however, ranking 31st in sacks and 23rd in pressures in addition to dead-last in turnovers forced. Geno Smith went 20-of-24 passing vs. this unit.

Houston Texans at Miami Dolphins (-5.5), 1 p.m. ET
A Dolphins defense that ranks near the bottom of most important categories did a great job of limiting the powerful Bills to just 10 points going into the fourth quarter. But Buffalo got enough late in a 26-11 home win. Tua Tagovailoa, who tossed a career-high four TDs and over 300 yards in Week 7 vs. the Falcons, had 205 yards and no scores in Week 8. Miami didn’t acquire Deshaun Watson at the trade deadline, so it’s Tua’s team for the rest of 2021.
The Texans offense is a non-factor these days, and that didn’t change in Week 8 in a blowout loss to the Rams. They were blanked through three quarters before padding stats in a 38-22 loss. Only once in the previous four weeks had the offense managed double figures. A 30th-ranked rush offense gained just 44 yards vs. L.A.

Las Vegas Raiders (-3) at New York Giants, 1 p.m. ET
The Raiders are 2-0 since Rich Bisaccia took over head coaching duties. The offense has scored 34 and 33 points in those games after failing to hit numbers like that since Week 1. The defense ranks ninth vs. the pass, so Vegas hasn’t had to simply outscore the opposition.
The Giants defense did the job against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs on Monday, but the offense struggled against a bottom-5 defense in a 20-17 loss. Daniel Jones is now 0-7 in prime time, the worst start to a career in that sector, ever. It was the first close game New York played since Week 4; its previous three games had margins of victory of 22, 27 and 22.

Los Angeles Chargers (-2) at Philadelphia Eagles, 4:05 p.m. ET
The Chargers pass defense has been shut-down, but the run D has been a sieve. It is allowing just 205 pass yards per game. But the Chargers also rank last in yards per game on the ground, with another 136 allowed vs. the Patriots in a Week 8 home upset loss. The offense had put up 28-plus points three weeks in a row but has scored 30 in its last two games combined.
The Eagles defense has struggled to get to the QB, ranking 27th in sacks and 25th in QB pressures. But they had no issues vs. the hapless Lions, registering six sacks while allowing just 228 total yards in a 41-6 road rout. It snapped a three-week Philly streak of scoring 21-22 points.

Green Bay Packers at Kansas City Chiefs (-7.5), 4:25 p.m. ET
Since his Week 1 dud, Aaron Rodgers has 17 TDs and one INT over seven games. But he’s out for the showdown with the Chiefs after testing positive for COVID. That means Jordan Love will get his first career start. Despite the headlines for the offense during the six-game win streak, it’s the defense that has led the charge. The Packers rank in the top 7 at getting after the QB and eighth in total defense.
The Chiefs defense is a mess, but the offense is just as concerning. Patrick Mahomes has a QB rating under 91 in five of his last six games and at least one INT in seven straight games. It still ranks No. 5 in pass yards. It was the defense that was key in Monday’s 20-17 win over the Giants to get KC back to .500 (4-4).

Arizona Cardinals at San Francisco 49ers (-3), 4:25 p.m. ET
Kyler Murray’s 72.7% completion rate is tops in the NFL, but that number went down in a 24-21 home loss to the Packers in Week 8, Arizona’s first defeat of the season. Arizona remains a top-five scoring team while the defense has especially been strong vs. the pass (it held Aaron Rodgers to 184 yards through the air) and are the No. 1 third-down defense in the NFL.
The 49ers have concerns with the offense, but Elijah Mitchell had 107 yards vs. the Colts in Week 8 and 137 more in a 33-22 win over the Bears last week. For the third year in a row, the Niners rank in the top six in yards allowed, this after limiting the poor Chicago offense to 324 yards – exactly the Niners’ defensive average.

Tennessee Titans at Los Angeles Rams (-7), 8:20 p.m. ET
The Titans are on a three-game win streak with impressive victories over the Bills, Chiefs and Colts, but the rest of the season will see a huge shift of focus with the season-ending injury to RB Derrick Henry, the NFL leader in rush attempts, yards and TDs. Adrian Peterson was signed this week and may step right into the No. 1 spot. If the Rams have a weakness, it’s run defense.
L.A.’s offense simply took care of business vs. the overmatched Texans, building a 38-0 lead en route to an easy win. No QB has been hit less than Matthew Stafford, and he was sacked just once in Week 8. Cooper Kupp, the league leader in receptions, yards and TDs going into Week 8, had seven catches for 115 yards and another score.
Take a look at Titans vs Rams odds, injury report, betting lines and more.
Monday, Nov. 8
Chicago Bears at Pittsburgh Steelers (-6.5), 8:15 p.m. ET
Justin Fields rebounded from his five-turnover effort in Week 7 for 278 total yards and two TDs in Week 8. It didn’t get the Bears a win, as they fell to 3-5 with a 33-22 loss to the 49ers. Khalil Mack did not play in Week 8; not coincidentally, the Niners gained 467 yards of offense, nearly 150 yards over their season average.
The Steelers pass defense ranks middle of the road overall despite averaging close to three sacks per game. That’s a good-enough trend vs. this Bears pass attack. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh’s run game gained 55.3 ypg the first four weeks, but number is 127 the last three.
