NFL Week 9 betting recap: It’s long past time to stop betting the over

Scoring is way down in the NFL this season.

If you’re still betting on the over in NFL games this season, my only question is why?

Entering Week 9, only seven of the 26 teams in action had played in more games that hit the over than games that hit the under. Of those teams, only the Philadelphia Eagles played in a game that went over again this past week.

In fact, only four of 13 games crossed their over thresholds in Week 9.

Scoring is way down in the NFL this year, at its lowest since 2017. And now that we’ve crossed the midpoint of the season, it’s time to accept lower scoring as the new normal. Bet the under.
