NFL Week 9 opened with the Jacksonville Jaguars dominating the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night, setting the stage for an 11-game Sunday slate. Bettors are eyeing futures on Jacksonville, with the Jaguars to face the Chicago Bears at 25-1, the Los Angeles Rams at 29-1, and the Green Bay Packers at 70-1 to reach the Super Bowl.
Top game picks include the Indianapolis Colts +4.5 against the Dallas Cowboys, citing the Cowboys' struggles against running backs and Jonathan Taylor's potential final game in a Colts uniform. The Los Angeles Chargers +6 versus the Houston Texans is seen as a line too high for a 2-5 team, while the New England Patriots -3 over the Green Bay Packers could benefit from a possible Micah Parsons absence and a motivated home crowd.
Player prop highlights feature Ashton Jeanty over 28.5 rushing yards, banking on a bounce-back after a soft benching, and Ja'Marr Chase over 77.5 receiving yards against a Falcons defense weaker against the pass. Anytime touchdown scorer picks include Jameson Williams at +160, riding a five-touchdown streak in three games; Blake Corum at +110, thriving in the Rams' run-heavy approach; and Braelon Allen at +240, expected to retain red-zone roles even with Breece Hall's return.
