CBS Sports writers Jordan Dajani and Jared Dubin have released their NFL Week 9 picks, analyzing seven key matchups including the Jacksonville Jaguars at Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals vs. Atlanta Falcons in Madrid, and the Sunday night clash between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Chicago Bears.
Both experts favor the Jaguars to cover a 10-point spread against the Ravens, citing Jacksonville's strong defense and Baltimore's uncertain quarterback situation. For the international game in Madrid, Dajani backs the Falcons as 3-point underdogs while Dubin sticks with the Bengals. The experts agree on the Los Angeles Rams covering against the Washington Commanders and the Denver Broncos winning at Carolina.
In the Green Bay Packers vs. New England Patriots game, both writers like the Packers with the points, citing extra rest and a strong defense. For Sunday night, Dajani expects the Bears to cover a 6-point spread over the Buccaneers, while Dubin predicts a closer game with Chicago winning but not covering. On Monday night, Dajani takes the Minnesota Vikings as home underdogs against the Buffalo Bills, while Dubin favors the Bills.
