2021 Week 9 NFL Picks

Las Vegas Raiders (-3) @ New York Giants - The Raiders are dealing with the fallout of Henry Ruggs.  That being said they are coming off a bye.   The Giants did play the Chiefs close last week and do get Kenny Golladay back in the lineup.  

Atlanta Falcons (+6) @ New Orleans Saints - Atlanta will be without Calvin Ridley but look to keep it close against a division rival.  They may come with an effective game plan against Simien although Taysom Hill will also see some time.

Buffalo Bills(-14) (LOCK) @ Jacksonville Jaguars -  The Jaguars should struggle with James Robinson out of the lineup.   

Cleveland Browns @ Cincinnati Bengals (-3) - Joey Burrow has had 3 passing touchdowns in each of the last 3 games and is looking for that trend to continue.  Tee Higgins needs to step if Denzel Ward lining up against Jamarr Chase.  The Browns will try to continue to play well without Odell Beckham Jr who they released on Friday.

New England Patriots (-3.5)(LOCK) @ Carolina Panthers - Carolina will be without Sam Darnold but do get Christian McCaffrey.  

Denver Broncos @ Dallas Cowboys (-9.5) - Dak Prescot returns.  The Broncos pass defense has been strong but have struggled on the ground - so Elliot could have a big game.  

Minnesota Vikings (+5.5) @ Baltimore Ravens -  The Vikings may be due for a bounce back game against the Ravens after a bad loss to Dallas.  

Houston Texans (+7) @ Miami Dolphins - Tyrod Taylor returns for the Texans while the Dolphins have suffered injuries to Tua and Davante Parker.  

Los Angeles Chargers (-2.5) @ Philadelphia Eagles - Philadelphia is coming off a big win against the Lions.  

Arizona Cardinals @ San Francisco 49ers (+2.5) - It looks like Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins could be out.  

Tennessee Titans (+7.5) @ Los Angeles Rams  - Perhaps the Titans can keep it lose if Tannehill can play well and Peterson can do his best impression of Derrick Henry.  

Chicago Bears @ Pittsburgh Steelers (-6.5)  -    The Steelers could do enough to contain Justin Fields in a primetime game.  Big Ben just has to be a decent game manager.
