CBS Sports analyst Pete Prisco releases his Week 9 NFL expert picks against the spread, highlighting a rebound for the Dallas Cowboys against the struggling Indianapolis Colts and a close Green Bay Packers win over the New England Patriots.
Prisco, who finished last week 7-7 against the spread (50-68-3 season), favors the Cowboys (-6) to win 31-17, citing Indianapolis's major problems and potential trades. He also likes the Packers (+3) to edge the Patriots 19-16 in a low-scoring affair, trusting Jordan Love to make late plays.
Other notable picks include the Denver Broncos (-2.5) over the Carolina Panthers 26-20, the Kansas City Chiefs beating the New York Jets 24-17, and the Detroit Lions (-7) routing the Miami Dolphins 30-13. Prisco also predicts the San Francisco 49ers (-10) to dominate the Las Vegas Raiders 31-17, and the Buffalo Bills (-3.5) to top the Minnesota Vikings 21-14 in Monday night's marquee matchup.
The Cincinnati Bengals (-3) are picked to defeat the Atlanta Falcons 33-21 in Madrid, while the Jacksonville Jaguars (-10) are favored to beat the Baltimore Ravens 27-16 on Thursday night with Lamar Jackson sidelined.
