Best NFL underdog picks and predictions of Week 9

Assessing the NFL betting odds and lines for Week 9, with three predictions and picks for the best underdog bets to make.

The New Orleans Saints came through in a big way for us in Week 8, but the Houston Texans and Detroit Lions did not, resulting in our second losing week of the season.
Still, we’re sitting pretty with a 17-7 (.708) record against the spread so far as we head into our …

NFL underdog predictions: Week 9

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday at 1:30 p.m. ET.

Cleveland Browns +2.5 (-105) at Cincinnati Bengals (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET)

The Browns are now all alone in the AFC North basement at 4-4, having lost three of their last four games, after dropping a tightly contested home game Sunday to the hated Pittsburgh Steelers.

QB Joe Burrow and the surprising Bengals, meanwhile, are a half-game out of the AFC North lead after winning four of their last six, although Week 8, brought a stunning 34-31 defeat to the 1-5 New York Jets playing with a backup quarterback. Cincy became the first double-digit favorite to lose outright this season.

That means both teams should be highly motivated Sunday, and we’ll side with the more-desperate Browns, who won two high-scoring shootouts with the Bengals last season. Waiting to see if the line bumps up to plus-3 here would be ideal for Browns backers.

Las Vegas Raiders at New York Giants +3.5 (-125) (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET)

The G-Men are a brutal 6-14 straight up and ATS at home — the league’s worst mark against the number — since the start of the 2019 season.

The AFC West-leading Raiders are coming off a bye with 5-2 SU and 4-3 ATS records in 2021. However, the major distractions at some point are going to be too much to overcome, and this week started with the horrific Henry Ruggs news.

If the Giants don’t wind up getting hit hard by their early-week COVID scare, go with the home team here.

Tennessee Titans +7.5 (-115) at Los Angeles Rams (Sunday, 8:20 p.m. ET)

The Titans truly did suffer a King-sized blow with the RB Derrick Henry injury news Monday, but this Tennessee team continues to overcome the odds as it enters this Sunday night contest coming off three consecutive outright wins as an underdog.

A road win over a red-hot Rams team tied for the league’s best record at 7-1 is likely too much to ask, though. But rallying the troops and covering a TD-plus spread is very doable for Tennessee as L.A. has been a mediocre 4-4 ATS so far this season.

Philadelphia Eagles at Las Vegas Raiders odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Philadelphia Eagles at Las Vegas Raiders odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Philadelphia Eagles (2-4) are on the road to face the Las Vegas Raiders (4-2) for a Week 7 matchup Sunday. Kickoff is 4:05 p.m. ET at Allegiant Stadium. Below, we look at the Eagles vs. Raiders odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Eagles have lost four of their last five games after a season-opening win against the Atlanta Falcons. They have been inconsistent on both sides of the ball this season, with 30 or more points scored twice and 22 or fewer points scored in the other four games; they’ve allowed over 40 points twice and fewer than 20 points three times. QB Jalen Hurts has 8 passing touchdowns and 4 interceptions, but 3 of those touchdown passes came in their Week 1 victory.

The Raiders were rocked by the scandal of former head coach Jon Gruden’s emails after their 3-0 start. Gruden no longer coaches the team and, after two losses in a row, they picked up a win in interim head coach Rich Bisaccia’s debut. They have scored 30 or more points in three games this season and fewer than 15 in two outings. QB Derek Carr has 1,946 passing yards with 10 touchdown passes and 4 interceptions.

Eagles at Raiders odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Eagles 24, Raiders 20

Money line

The Eagles so far this season have won two of three games on the road where they have averaged 24.7 points per game.

The Raiders played well in their first game with Bisaccia as the interim head coach, something that is quite common. Teams often elevate their play in the first game of a new coach. However, flaws began popping up in their two games prior to Week 6.

Expect the upset here. Take the EAGLES (+125).

Against the spread

The Eagles are 3-3 ATS this season and 2-1 ATS on the road.

The Raiders are also 3-3 ATS but 1-2 ATS at home.

Expecting the outright win from the Eagles, you can give yourself some insurance if you take the EAGLES +3.5 (+105).

Over/Under

The Eagles’ games this season have stayed Under the projected total four times and both their wins had totals lower than this week’s projected total.

Two of the last three Raiders games have gone Under the projected total and they are 3-3 O/U overall.

I expect a dip in offensive production this weekend.

Take UNDER 48.5 (-110).

Las Vegas Raiders at Denver Broncos odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Las Vegas Raiders at Denver Broncos odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Las Vegas Raiders (3-2) visit the Denver Broncos (3-2) on Sunday in a matchup of AFC West foes. Kickoff is set for 4:25 p.m. ET in Empower Field at Mile High in Denver. Below, we look at the Raiders vs. Broncos odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

To say the least, it’s been a tumultuous week for the Raiders who suffered their second straight loss Sunday in falling to the visiting Chicago Bears, 20-9. Then a day later saw the sudden resignation of head coach Jon Gruden following the public revelation of a trove of offensive emails.

The Silver and Black will now try to regroup in a key division road game Sunday under interim head coach/longtime special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia with their 3-0 start a distant memory.

The Broncos, meanwhile, also have stumbled through two straight losses after a 3-0 start. Denver breezed through perhaps the league’s easiest opening three-game slate but has since had breakdowns in several key phases while losing to the Baltimore Ravens (23-7) and Pittsburgh Steelers (27-19).

The Denver defense has shown a few leaks the last two weeks but still ranks as the league’s second-stingiest scoring unit, permitting only 15.2 points per game.

Raiders at Broncos odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Broncos 20, Raiders 16

Money line

We’re still a few weeks from the midpoint of the season, but this is a key early-season divisional clash for two teams seeking to stay above .500.

Given the disruption in Vegas and with the home-standing Denver defense being the best of the four units on the field, go with the BRONCOS (-210) here with the spread creeping too high.

Against the spread

It would be a slight lean toward the Raiders with the number now north of four, but with the Broncos likely to win, the margin is too thin. It’s a PASS.

Over/Under

The Raiders’ defense has improved, and with that, three of Vegas’ five games this season have gone Under the total.

The Over, meanwhile, has hit only once in the Broncos’ five contests. In the series, eight of the last nine meetings haven’t reached the total, so it’s a play on the UNDER 43.5 (-108) here.

Chicago Bears at Las Vegas Raiders odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Chicago Bears at Las Vegas Raiders odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Chicago Bears (2-2) visit the Las Vegas Raiders (3-1) Sunday of Week 5 for a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff at Allegiant Stadium. Below, we look at the Bears vs. Raiders odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

Chicago is coming off a 24-14 home win over the Detroit Lions. The Bears covered the spread as 3-point favorites with the Under (41.5) cashing. Behind QB Justin Fields‘ 209 passing yards and RB David Montgomery‘s 106 rushing yards, the Bears finished with 373 total yards, a big upgrade from the 47 yards accumulated in a 26-6 loss at the Cleveland Browns in Week 3.

Montgomery, who had 2 rushing TDs against Detroit and ranks fifth in the NFL with 309 rushing yards, will be out four to five weeks due to a knee sprain.

Las Vegas suffered its first loss of the season with a 28-14 setback at the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football. The Raiders didn’t cover the spread as 3-point underdogs and the Under (52) hit.

Trailing 21-0 at halftime, the Raiders scored twice in the third quarter to cut the deficit to 21-14, but they couldn’t get any closer. QB Derek Carr finished with 196 passing yards, 2 TDs and 1 pick in the loss.

Bears at Raiders odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Raiders 27, Bears 13

Money line

PASS.

The call is for the Raiders (-240) to win, but the juice isn’t worth the risk.

Against the spread

LAS VEGAS -5.5 (-110) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1½ times your usual wager.

Despite having short rest, coming off the MNF game, the Raiders shouldn’t have a problem taking this one, especially with the Bears ground game missing Montgomery.

Chicago’s offense won’t be able to hang and likely won’t score more than one touchdown.

Over/Under

UNDER 44.5 (-105) is the way to go.

Until Week 4, the Bears hadn’t scored more than 2 touchdowns in a game. They scored 3 Sunday, but two of them were from Montgomery.

They rank 30th in the league with 16.0 points per game and are last with 114.3 passing yards per game.

As long as the Bears defense doesn’t tire, the Under should be OK against a decent Raiders offense. Chicago is 10th with 22.8 points allowed per game.

Las Vegas Raiders at Los Angeles Chargers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Monday Night Football’s Las Vegas Raiders at Los Angeles Chargers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Las Vegas Raiders (3-0) and Los Angeles Chargers (2-1) meet on Monday Night Football in Week 4 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Raiders vs. Chargers odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Raiders are 3-0, but each of their home victories came in overtime. In Week 3, Vegas topped the visiting Miami Dolphins, who had to go with backup QB Jacoby Brissett, by a 31-28 score in OT as the Over connected. The Raiders won their only road game 26-17 at the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2 as the Under cashed.

The Chargers are flying high after a 30-24 victory at the Kansas City Chiefs last week as 6.5-point underdogs. It was the third consecutive Under result for the Bolts this season. Los Angeles ranks seventh in the NFL in passing yards allowed (201.7) and points allowed (20.0) per game.

Raiders at Chargers odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Chargers 30, Raiders 24

Money line

After a couple of near-misses for the Raiders, they’re finally going to taste defeat for the first time. Playing CHARGERS (-180) isn’t a terrible price if you just want to pick a winner and not concern yourself with having to cover the spread.

Against the spread

The CHARGERS -3.5 (-105) is worth playing lightly. I like the way the Bolts offense has been operating, and the defense has had it on lockdown.

The Raiders have found a way to win the tight games so far, but I think the Chargers are a more complete team. It will show on Monday night in a well-played game for both sides. It’s nice to see this rivalry taking center stage in primetime while being a meaningful game again.

Over/Under

OVER 50.5 (-117) is worth a look, although I’d only make a small-unit wager on it.

The Over has cashed in five of the past six divisional games for the Raiders, while going 7-2-1 in the past 10 against teams with a winning record.

The Over has cashed in four of the past five inside the AFC West for the Chargers, too, while going 5-1 in the past six against winning teams.

Underdog corner: 3 best NFL ATS picks and predictions for Week 4

Assessing the NFL betting odds and lines for Week 4, with three predictions and picks for the best underdog ATS bets to make.

Our unblemished record fell by the wayside last Sunday as the New York Jets failed to cover the 10.5-point spread on the road against the Denver Broncos. (Deep analysis: Covering is almost always tougher when a team doesn’t score.) Below, we look at the top NFL underdog picks and predictions of Week 4.

Nevertheless, we hit on the New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Chargers, who both won outright on the road, to improve to 8-1 against the spread on the season. Seven of our nine underdog picks so far have notched straight-up, wins as well.

Jump aboard for Week 4 to see if we can keep the train rolling.

Carolina Panthers +4.5 (-115) at Dallas Cowboys

QB Dak Prescott and the Cowboys were certainly impressive in their 2021 Big D debut Monday night, smashing the rival Philadelphia Eagles 41-21 to improve to 2-1 straight up and 3-0 against the spread.

The Panthers will be without injured do-it-all running back Christian McCaffrey so why are we on Carolina here in this meeting of 3-0 ATS teams? Three reasons:

The Panthers have a distinct rest advantage having last played a week ago Thursday night.
The Carolina defense has been an underrated force so far, leading the league in sacks (14), total QB pressures (47) and rushing defense (45 yards allowed per game, 2.6 yards per carry).
It’s an obvious letdown spot for the Cowboys coming off an emotional, prime-time rout of a division rival.

Dallas likely still wins, but the Panthers keep it close and cover.

Arizona Cardinals +4.5 (-110) at Los Angeles Rams

Two of the league’s five unbeaten teams clash in this early battle for NFC West supremacy.

The Rams have dominated the series of late, winning eight straight — all by at least 7 points — and going 7-0-1 ATS. Much like the Cowboys, the Rams are in a prime letdown spot coming off a big home win over Tom Brady and the defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Dangerous dual-threat QB Kyler Murray and the Cards, who are tied with the Bucs for the league scoring lead at 34.3 points per game, present a different kind of challenge and certainly have enough firepower to keep this one close.

Las Vegas Raiders +3.5 (-115) at Los Angeles Chargers

QB Derek Carr and the Raiders take their 3-0 record west for a Monday night division tussle with QB Justin Herbert and the 2-1 Bolts.

The Silver & Black won and covered in three of the last four meetings and in what figures to be a close game where Raiders fans will be in the majority at SoFi Stadium, go ahead and take the 3.5 points.

NFL Week 3 Can’t-Miss Parlay: 3 bets you can count on

Assessing the NFL betting odds and lines for Week 3, with predictions and picks for the best parlay bet to make.

Week 3 offers some intriguing NFL matchups. The 2-0 Tampa Bay Buccaneers visit the 2-0 Los Angeles Rams, two AFC West young guns renew their rivalry as QBs Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs host Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers, and Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers will try to spoil the 2-0 San Francisco 49ers’ home opener on Sunday Night Football.

However, those high-profile games often don’t offer the best values on the NFL board. That in mind, here goes with our can’t-miss Week 3 parlay.

Leg 1: Chicago Bears at Cleveland Browns UNDER 44.5 (-112)

Points come out of the passing game in the NFL, and so this matchup of two top-10 rushing attacks butting heads against two top-10 rush defenses sets up nicely for a low-scoring scrum.

Throw in rookie Bears QB Justin Fields making his first pro start, that start coming on the road and a Browns’ aerial game featuring absent Jarvis Landry (injured reserve) and still-on-the-mend Odell Beckham Jr., and the UNDER 44.5 (-112) is the play.

Also see: Bears at Browns odds, picks and prediction

Leg 2: Tennessee Titans -4.5 (-108) vs. Indianapolis Colts

The two teams that have been the class of the AFC South in recent seasons, and you’d figure they would have a recent history of close contests.

But that’s not the case.

Eight of the last 10 head-to-head meetings were decided by at least a touchdown with an average margin of victory of 12.9 points.
Given Indy QB Carson Wentz‘s injury issues and the worrisome depth behind him, Tennessee is the better (and healthier) team at this time.

So go ahead and lay the number here and bank on a comfortable TITANS -4.5 (-108) win at home.

Leg 3: Las Vegas Raiders ML (-180) vs. Miami Dolphins

Miami is another team with QB injury issues early in the season as starter Tua Tagovailoa is out with fractured ribs. Jacoby Brissett takes over, but he’s not quite at the level of Ryan Fitzpatrick who replaced a struggling Tua in Week 16 last season and led the Dolphins to a miraculous, 26-25 comeback win in Vegas.

This is a 2-0 Silver & Black squad, though, that looks to be more talented and focused than the collapsing version that finished 2020 on a 2-5 tumble.
The Miami pass defense is formidable, however, and the field-goal-plus-a-hook line is always daunting for the favorite in a tight matchup.

So, take the home team on the money line and cash in on some RAIDERS (-180) revenge Sunday afternoon in the desert.

After a 17-16 victory in Week 1 in New England, the Dolphins returned home and were dusted 35-0 by the Buffalo Bills. QB Tua Tagovailoa suffered fractured ribs against the Bills, and he is out for Sunday’s game. QB Jacoby Brissett will get the starting nod.

The Raiders have won each of their first two games against AFC North teams, topping the Baltimore Ravens 33-27 in overtime in Week 1, while beating the Pittsburgh Steelers 26-17 on the road in Week 2. They were underdogs in each, going 2-0 against the spread.

Dolphins at Raiders odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Raiders 27, Dolphins 16

Money line

The RAIDERS (-190) are a little on the expensive side, but if you don’t want to worry about laying the points, it’s not terribly out of line.

Against the spread

The RAIDERS -3.5 (-108) are a good play laying the points, especially since the Dolphins +3.5 (-112) will be without Tua.

In addition, Vegas will be missing Jacobs, but RB Kenyan Drake is expected to start. He was unceremoniously dumped in Oct. 2019 in a trade with the Arizona Cardinals for a low-round pick by, you guessed it, the Dolphins. He should be running with a chip on his shoulder, trying to deal the organization a little payback.

While the Raiders are 0-4 ATS in the past four as a favorite, they are a much different team this season. Expect them to buck this trend.

Over/Under

The UNDER 43.5 (-105) is the lean, although it’s only worth a small-unit play. Brissett gets his first start under center, and while he’ll be better than last week when he was thrust into action, it will still be a work in progress.

And while the Raiders are No. 1 in total yards per game (458.0) and passing yards per outing (391.0), you can expect them to try and establish the run a little more at home. More runs equal more running clock, while Under bettors love.

Baltimore Ravens at Las Vegas Raiders odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing the Baltimore Ravens at Las Vegas Raiders Monday Night Football odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Baltimore Ravens and Las Vegas Raiders meet at Allegiant Stadium for Monday Night Football. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET and the game is televised on ESPN. Below, we look at the Ravens vs. Raiders odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Ravens have had a lot of difficulty with injuries. RB J.K. Dobbins suffered a season-ending injury two weeks ago in the preseason, and then RB Gus Edwards suffered a torn ACL this week. CB Marcus Peters also tore his ACL this week, so the Ravens are scrambling for replacements.

The Raiders finally get to open Allegiant Stadium to fans after closing the building in their first season in Las Vegas due to COVID-19. Owner Mark Davis didn’t want to open the team’s new palace to partial capacity last season. Look for a raucous crowd in front of fans who have been waiting a while to welcome their new team.

Ravens at Raiders odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Raiders 23, Ravens 20

Money line

The RAIDERS (+170) will have a raucous crowd at Allegiant Stadium in Sin City for this much-anticipated regular-season opener with fans in the stands. The home team also catches a huge break with the Ravens reeling due to injuries at several key positions.

Yes, Baltimore still has dynamic QB Lamar Jackson healthy and ready to go and he has a cadre of solid receivers but this is setting up nicely for Vegas to get off on the right foot.

Against the spread

If you’re not feeling the RAIDERS +4.5 (-115) straight up, you at least have to like them catching the points.

The Ravens are 5-0 ATS in their previous five regular-season openers, but they have never been banged up like this entering a new campaign. The Raiders are 4-1 ATS in their previous five season openers. They should continue that favorable trend.

Over/Under

The best play on the board in this Monday night battle is the UNDER 50.5 (-108). Baltimore’s defense remains stout, even without Peters. The Ravens still have 12 defensive backs on the roster, and they’ll fill the void, although no one can replace his ball-hawking skills.

The Under will come through because the Baltimore offense might be a bit predictable and one-dimensional without much of a rushing attack outside of Jackson. If the Ravens are forced to have an unbalanced offense with more passing than running, they’re going to be in trouble.

The Under is 5-2 in the past seven Week 1 games for the Ravens, while the Under is 4-1 in the last five Monday night appearances for the Raiders.

Las Vegas Raiders at San Francisco 49ers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Las Vegas Raiders at San Francisco 49ers preseason Week 3 matchup, with NFL odds, lines, picks, predictions and best bets.

The Las Vegas Raiders (2-0) meet the San Francisco 49ers (1-1) Sunday for a 4 p.m. ET kickoff at Levi’s Stadium. Below, we look at the Raiders vs. 49ers odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Raiders scratched out a 17-16 win on the road against the Los Angeles Rams last time out, going Under on the total. That comes on the heels of a 20-7 win Aug. 14 over the Seattle Seahawks in the preseason opener, posting a cover and Under result.

The 49ers posted a 15-10 win on the road against the Los Angeles Chargers, failing to cover for the second time in as many preseason outings while the Under cashed for the second straight contest.

Raiders at 49ers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

49ers 20, Raiders 16

Money line

The 49ers (-230) are likely to use both QBs Jimmy Garoppolo and rookie Trey Lance, which isn’t great news for the Raiders (+180). While head coach Kyle Shanahan has tabbed Jimmy G for Week 1, we’ll still likely see both going hard in this one.

However, you cannot risk more than two times your potential return on a preseason game, so AVOID, and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

The RAIDERS +5.5 (-108) are a decent play catching the points, as QB Nathan Peterman has been surprisingly effective seeing a bulk of the work under center in the preseason. QB Marcus Mariota could also make his preseason debut after dealing with a quadriceps injury.

Over/Under

OVER 35.5 (-115) is the lean, ever so slightly. We should see the starters go a little longer in this one, and that will make all the difference.

The Over cashed in all four of the preseason games Friday, and we should see a slight uptick in scoring in this one.
