Best NFL Bets This Week And Predictions – Week Nine, 2023

It’s challenging to know what to expect each week in the NFL and understand the best bets. That is why I bring you the best NFL bets this week and predictions for each game. Week eight was a pretty dry slate of games. However, there’s still a lot to take away from those games, and this upcoming week has a few really exciting matches.

The Steelers are a tough team to predict week to week, and Will Levis’ performance last week makes this game interesting. Levis surprisingly fell in the draft and has a chance to prove the league wrong. His debut was as good as you could’ve hoped for, but this Pittsburgh defense will be a new challenge. The Tennessee offense doesn’t match up well against this pass rush. It’ll likely be a defensive game, but I’d still avoid the over-under.

This game will probably be the most entertaining one of the week. Two high-octane offenses will be going head to head in London. I don’t foresee the Chiefs losing back-to-back games, but it’s also a London game, so anything can happen. The Chiefs have Corners who match up well against Miami, and they have what it takes to slow down their offense. Mahomes may not have his best game, but he’ll still give them the upper hand.

The Vikings were on a hot streak, but Kirk Cousins is out for the season. I would’ve gone with Minnesota, as they schematically match up well against Atalanta. However, Josh Dobbs will be the starter, and he’ll have to learn a whole new playbook. I still expect this Minnesota defense to play well against Atlanta. They just won’t be able to score a whole lot of points.

Justin Fields isn’t projected to play this game, and the Saint’s defense will be too much for this Bear’s offense to handle. Chicago’s pass rush is arguably the worst in the league, so Carr’s biggest weakness won’t be much of an issue. When Carr has all day to throw, he usually excels. While Tyson Bagent flashed some decent moments, he’ll be overwhelmed by this defense. I don’t expect this game even to be close.

Nothing has seemed to go Green Bay’s way, and this Rams team is no easy out. Jordan Love may have some success going up against a weak secondary, but Stafford and McVay will ultimately be too much to keep up with. Even though this one is in Green Bay, the Rams travel well and should be able to put up at least 24 points on this defense.

After Washington traded away half their starting D-Line, morale probably is at an all-time low. The Patriots are also in a troubling spot as this passing offense continues to stall. The Pats have a good pass rush, making Howell’s job challenging. My gut says the Patriots go out fighting to finish the year, and they ultimately win this game. Although this is a spread, you should stay away from betting.

While Geno Smith has played well this year, Lamar Jackson is playing at an MVP level and gives them the edge over Seattle. The Leonard Williams acquisition helps Seattle’s defensive front, but with how Baltimore is playing, it won’t make much of a difference. Seattle has good Corners, but their Linebackers struggle in coverage, and that’s where Lamar loves to attack. This should be a big day for Lamar and Mark Andrews.

The Texans have been a wild card this year, and the Bucs have just been beating bad teams. Tampa Bay has a shot, but if we get the good version of Houston this week, I don’t think Baker could keep up. Houston has good enough Corners to keep the Buc’s Receivers from dominating the game. Additionally, the Bucs don’t have a great run game to capitalize on Houston’s D-Line. I’d stay away from betting, but I have a feeling Houston pulls away with this one.

How this game pans out largely depends on whether Kyler plays or not and whether Deshaun plays or not. If one team has their QB and the other doesn’t, I’m taking the team with their QB. Cleveland’s roster seemed significantly better coming into the year, but Arizona has surprisingly looked feisty. Arizona has been in pretty much every game, and if Kyler plays, it gives them the edge. Regardless of what happens, the spread seems high at 7.5 right now.

I could see this game going either way, but ultimately, I’m going with Carolina. They have nothing to lose by winning, and this offense is finally showing life. The Colts secondary has struggled, and I could see Young taking advantage of that. As Carolina’s defense has struggled, Gardner Minshew could have a good game and outscore Bryce, so I’m not betting on the spread. For two low-level teams, this should still be a fun game to watch.

After the Raiders cleaned house, we likely see an inspired performance that leads to a win. Typically, when a team cleans house, they win the next game, and it’s because the players embrace the fresh start. Daniel Jones is healthy, making things interesting. The Giants themselves could be playing more inspired, too. I see this one being close, and it’s not a good game to bet on.

This game will be one of the most entertaining ones of the week. Now that Philly has Kevin Byard, that defense is as complete as you can get. The Eagles also have Lane Johnson, who has done a remarkable job of keeping Parsons at bay in the past. While the Cowboys have an elite defense, this is an even better offense, and Dak also doesn’t match up well against this defense. In what should be an exhilarating game, I’m picking the Eagles to cover.

We get another outstanding game on the slate with Cincinnati vs. Buffalo. I view this as a rematch of the game canceled due to Demar Hamlin, and I’m excited to see the outcome. Joe Burrow is playing at that elite level again, and Lou Anarumo always comes up with brilliant defensive plans to throw off the QB. On the other hand, Buffalo is hungry for a win, and we’ll probably get the good version of Josh Allen. This is the type of game that’ll go back and forth, but if I had to bet, I’d say Cincinnati pulls the dub.

After it looked like Staley would get fired, the schedule has turned out to be easy, and they have a chance to get back in the mix. This just feels like a classic Chargers game where they should win the game but end up losing to some flukey play. The Jet’s defense causes issues for every team they face, and LA won’t be any different. Zach Wilson may be a poor starter, but this Chargers defense has some weaknesses he could exploit if he’s on. In a low-scoring game, my gut says the Jets barely win this one.
