Get ready for another exciting week of NFL action with our Week 9 preview. Stay on top of the latest matchups and make your predictions for the upcoming games.
It’s that time, it is time for Week 9. The NFL season is moving along, and after some good games last week, this week will have its share of competitive games as well. Here is what to expect in Week 9.
Houston Texans vs New York Jets (Jets -1.5) – The Houston Texans and New York Jets are going head to head in this week’s Thursday Night Football game. The Texans are 6-2 this season, and they are on top of the AFC South. The Texans won a close game over the Indianapolis Colts in their last game, as they beat the Colts 23-20. Houston has suffered a blow, as Stefon Diggs is out for the rest of the season due to a torn ACL. That will have an impact on the Texans and the rest of their season. The Jets are 2-6, and are on a five-game losing streak. It has been rough for the Jets, and while a win over Houston would boost their morale, it may not happen.
Prediction: The Texans win
New Orleans Saints vs Carolina Panthers (Saints -7) – This matchup is between two struggling teams. The Saints are on a six-game losing streak, with their most recent loss being a 26-8 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Their opponent is also in a tough spot. The Carolina Panthers are 1-7. They are on a five-game losing streak after losing to the Denver Broncos in their last game. Both teams can use a win, and chances are, the Saints will finally snap their streak.
Prediction: The Saints win
Washington Commanders vs New York Giants (Commanders -3.5) – The Washington Commanders are still on top of the NFC East. They have a record of 6-2 and are on a two-game winning streak. They won a good game over the Chicago Bears, and now, they want to keep that momentum going with a win over a fellow NFC East team. The New York Giants are at the bottom of the division with a record of 2-6. They are on a three-game losing streak after losses to the Bengals, the Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers. The Commanders continue to exceed expectations and this is a chance to pick up another win.
Prediction: The Commanders win
Miami Dolphins vs Buffalo Bills (Bills -6) – The Miami Dolphins have lost their last two games. They lost to the Colts and the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals game was close as they lost 28-27. Tua Tagovailoa returned in that game, and had a strong showing. The Dolphins will travel to Buffalo to take on the Bills. The Bills are playing well this season, and have a record of 6-2. They are on a three-game winning streak beating the Jets, the Tennessee Titans and the Seattle Seahawks. The Bills have a chance to keep that going with a win here.
Prediction: The Bills win
Los Angeles Chargers vs Cleveland Browns (Chargers -2) – The Los Angeles Chargers are over .500 after their recent win over the Saints. They are headed to Cleveland to take on a team that won a surprising game. The Cleveland Browns won their second game of the season, as they beat the Baltimore Ravens 29-24. Jameis Winston stepped into the starting quarterback role, and finished the game with 334 yards. He threw three touchdowns in the process. This was a feel good win for the Browns, and this week, they could keep that going.
Prediction: The Browns win
New England Patriots vs Tennessee Titans (Titans -3.5) – The New England Patriots won their last game, despite Drake Maye exiting the game. He is in concussion protocol. The Patriots beat the Jets 25-22. This week, they take on a team that lost big in their last game. The Titans lost to the Detroit Lions 52-14. Tennessee is on a three-game losing streak, but this game gives them an opportunity to snap that streak.
Prediction: The Titans win
Dallas Cowboys vs Atlanta Falcons (Falcons -2.5) – The Dallas Cowboys are 3-4 after losing their last two games. They lost to the Lions and the San Francisco 49ers. The Cowboys are tough to predict, but this week could be a chance to pick up a win. The Atlanta Falcons are playing well. They are on top of the NFC South with a record of 5-3. The Falcons beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their last game, and Kirk Cousins had a good showing. In a battle between him and Dak Prescott, Cousins could have the upper hand.
Prediction: The Falcons win
Las Vegas Raiders vs Cincinnati Bengals (Bengals -7) – The Las Vegas Raiders lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in their last game. This gave them their fourth consecutive loss. The Bengals are currently 3-5 after losing their last game. They lost to the Eagles in their last one. Cincinnati is surprisingly 0-4 at home, but this week is a chance to turn that around.
Prediction: The Bengals win
Denver Broncos vs Baltimore Ravens (Ravens -9) – The Denver Broncos are playing well. They are second in the AFC West with a record of 5-3. They are also on a two-game winning streak with wins over the Saints and the Panthers. Bo Nix and the Broncos have a challenge ahead of them as they take on Baltimore. The Ravens lost their last game. Cleveland pulled off the upset, and now, Lamar Jackson and company will look to regroup. The Ravens will be focused and shake off the loss with a win here.
Prediction: The Ravens win
Chicago Bears vs Arizona Cardinals (Cardinals -1) – The Chicago Bears lost to the Commanders. This puts the Bears at 4-3, and as strange as it sounds, they are at the bottom of the NFC North. The Bears are set to face a team that beat the Dolphins last week. The Arizona Cardinals are the top team in a close division. They are currently first in the NFC West, but they hold a slim lead over the 49ers, the Seahawks and the Rams. They can create some separation this week with a win over Chicago. This could be a good game, and the Cardinals may pull it out.
Prediction: The Cardinals win
Jacksonville Jaguars vs Philadelphia Eagles (Eagles -7.5) – The Jacksonville Jaguars are 2-6. They lost their last game, as the Green Bay Packers beat them 30-27. The Jaguars are on the road as they take on the Eagles. It should be noted that the Jaguars are 0-4 in road games. The Eagles are 5-2, and are on a three-game winning streak. It started with a win over the Browns, then they beat the Giants and the Bengals. The Eagles will likely pick up a win here and improve to 6-2.
Prediction: The Eagles win
Los Angeles Rams vs Seattle Seahawks (Rams -1.5) – The Los Angeles Rams are 3-4 and are on a two-game winning streak. They beat the Raiders and the Minnesota Vikings. The Rams have a chance to become 4-4, which will make the NFC West race even more interesting. The Seahawks are also in the NFC West, and they are 4-4. They lost their last game, as the Bills beat them. DK Metcalf is said to be returning in this game, which could help the Seahawks. This should be a good game, but Seattle should win.
Prediction: The Seahawks win
Detroit Lions vs Green Bay Packers (Lions -3.5) – The Detroit Lions had a big win in their last game. They are on a five-game winning streak and they have become the top team in the NFC North. The team behind them? The Green Bay Packers. The Packers are 6-2 and are on a four-game winning streak. This is a battle of the win streaks and somebody has to go down. Who wants it more? This will be a good game, and with the way the Lions are playing, they may take it.
Prediction: The Lions win
Indianapolis Colts vs Minnesota Vikings (Vikings -5.5) – The Indianapolis Colts are 4-4. They lost to the Texans in their last game. The Colts are making some changes, as they are benching Anthony Richardson and starting Joe Flacco. This could benefit them, but they have a tough game ahead of them. They take on a good Vikings team. The Vikings are 5-2 after losing their last two games. This week is a chance to bounce back and make the NFC North even more exciting. The Vikings recently made a trade, as they acquired Cam Robinson from the Jaguars. The Vikings are ready to win and they will get this victory.
Prediction: The Vikings win
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Kansas City Chiefs (Chiefs -9) – The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 4-4 after losing their last two games. They lost to the Ravens and the Falcons. They are set to take on an undefeated team in Kansas City. The Chiefs are 7-0 despite a few close calls. They have beat anyone that has stood in their way, and they look like the favorites to win it all. This week is a chance to get another win and prove that.
Prediction: The Chiefs win.
