Last week provided fans and bettors plenty of excitement despite a slate of games that didn’t look great on paper. Three more underdogs won outright (Broncos, Saints, and Commanders), but the potential is there for more favorites to get upended in Week 9.
We don’t expect that at the start of the week, however, as the undefeated Eagles face the Texans on Thursday Night Football. On Sunday afternoon, we have an 11-game schedule where bettors will look to find value on player props, sides, totals, and money lines. There are fewer opportunities than usual, though, as a whopping six teams are on the bye in Week 9 (Giants, Cowboys, Broncos, 49ers, Steelers, Browns).
To wrap up the week, the Ravens will be back under the prime-time lights as they travel to the Big Easy to play the Saints on Monday Night Football. Baltimore is 2-0 straight up in prime-time games this season and opened as three-point favorites heading after defeating the Buccaneers on the road last week for their second-straight win.
Please remember that the odds and lines will move throughout the week as we get updates on various injuries across the league. There could be some opportunity for closing line value (CLV) in a few games leading up to kickoff. Below, we take a look at the latest odds for Week 9 from Caesars Sportsbook and provide a few best bets that need to be on your radar.

NFL best bets for Week 9
Dolphins vs. Bears OVER 44.5 points
As long as the total does not move up considerably during the week, the OVER is a good bet. The Bears’ offense has started to figure out its identity over the past two weeks, averaging 31 points per game after scoring just 12 points in Week 6 against the Commanders. However, the Bears’ defense has struggled this season, allowing 22.6 points per game. The Dolphins’ offense got back on track last Sunday against the Lions, scoring 30-plus points for only the second time in the past five games. Miami’s running game should wreak havoc against the Bears’ defense, which is giving up 156 rushing yards per game this season. The Bears are 4-4 when it comes to OVERs this season, while the Dolphins are 3-5.
Chiefs (-11) vs. Titans
Even though the Chiefs are 0-4 against the spread this season after a win, Kansas City should not have any problems with the Titans in Week 9. The last time we saw the Chiefs in action was in Week 7 when they beat the 49ers 44-23. Meanwhile, Tennessee is coming into this game on a five-game winning streak and defeating teams by an average of 5.8 points per game. The Titans will look to have Ryan Tannehill back after he missed last week’s game because of an ankle injury, but if he’s out, rookie Malik Willis, who attempted just 10 passes in his starting debut, will be back under center. That would be a long way toward helping Andy Reid better his otherworldly record coming off a bye week (20-3). It’s also worth noting that the Chiefs are 2-2 ATS when they are double-digit favorites dating back to last season. It’s hard to see this Titans’ defense stopping a Chiefs’ offense that is starting to put the pieces together.
Seahawks (+105) vs. Cardinals
The first time these two NFC West rivals played each other in Week 6, the Seahawks defeated the Cardinals 19-9 at Lumen Field in Seattle. It was the start of a three-game winning streak for Seattle, who beat the Giants 27-13 on Sunday. Meanwhile, things have not gone well for the Cardinals, who have lost three out of their past four games.
This game should be close, as indicated by the spread, which leans toward Arizona (-2.5). However, if Arizona does not have James Conner (ribs) and is unable to get anything from its running game, it will be hard for the Cardinals to win. The Cardinals’ offensive line will also have to improve, as it’s struggled to protect Kyler Murray (12 sacks in the past three games). Between the two QBs, Geno Smith is playing better, and the Seahawks are playing complementary football on both sides of the ball, which should help Seattle pull off the mild upset in Week 9.
