NFL Week 9 odds: Making the case for each underdog
Looking at the NFL Week 9 odds, here’s a reason to believe each underdog can cover their respective spreads this weekend.
New York Jets at Indianapolis Colts (-10.5)
The Jets might have found something in quarterback Mike White, who threw for 405 yards and three touchdowns on Sunday. Could he repeat it?
Atlanta Falcons at New Orleans Saints (-6)
New Orleans doesn’t have a quarterback, as it picks between Trevor Siemian and Jameis Winston. The Falcons could cover quite easily.
Buffalo Bills (-14.5) at Jacksonville Jaguars
This is huge number, especially for a road team. As for the Bills, they almost let the Dolphins beat them in Buffalo.
Cleveland Browns at Cincinnati Bengals (-2.5)
The Browns are 4-4 and playing for their proverbial lives this weekend against Cincinnati. Cleveland has the more talented roster.
Denver Broncos at Dallas Cowboys (-9.5)
The Broncos can play defense, and perhaps Dallas takes a cautious approach as Dak Prescott is working his way back from a calf injury.

Houston Texans at Miami Dolphins (-6.5)
Both these teams are awful, which means gamblers should take the points if they touch this line.
Las Vegas Raiders (-3) at New York Giants
The Raiders are going through an awful, emotional week. Along with the travel, this might just be a really rough spot.
Minnesota Vikings at Baltimore Ravens (-5.5)
The Vikings are the most unpredictable team in the league, and the Ravens have almost lost to the Lions, Colts and Chiefs. Points are the play.
New England Patriots (-4) at Carolina Panthers
The Patriots are playing on the road for a second straight week, and the Panthers, after beating the Falcons, are back on the winning track. These teams are evenly matched.
Los Angeles Chargers (-1.5) at Philadelphia Eagles
This is a fascinating game. The Eagles love to run the ball, and Los Angeles has the worst run defense in the league. Philadelphia has a real shot to win here.

Arizona Cardinals (-2.5) at San Francisco 49ers
The Cardinals are on long rest, and the 49ers are yet to beat a good team all year.
Green Bay Packers at Kansas City Chiefs (-1)
Why are the Packers being made underdogs? They’re clearly the better team to this point.
Tennessee Titans at Los Angeles Rams (-7.5)
Big line for a team that’s 6-2, even without Derrick Henry. The Titans should be able to move the ball, provided they can block Los Angeles’ revamped front.
Chicago Bears at Pittsburgh Steelers (-6.5)
This game screams low-scoring, defense on both sides. The Steelers likely win, but this will be a rock fight.
