Top Week 9 NFL predictions
We can tell you one of the model's strongest Week 9 NFL picks for the best betting apps is that the Commanders (+5.5, 48) cover at home versus the Rams almost 60% of the time. Washington is 3-1 ATS in games Jayden Daniels has started and finished, and the Commanders quietly top the NFL in turnover differential at plus-seven. They're averaging over 140 rushing yards in Daniels' starts, and the Rams were gashed for 234 yards on the ground when they faced a mobile quarterback in Josh Allen and the Bills in a Week 5 loss. Los Angeles is just 1-3 versus the spread over its last four games in the Eastern Time Zone as this game is projected to be decided by less than a field goal.
Another one of its Week 9 NFL predictions: the the Chiefs (-9.5, 46.5) cover versus the Jets at 1 p.m. ET. Kansas City has covered in both games as favorites of over a touchdown this season, and it is 4-1 ATS over the last five such instances. Meanwhile, the Jets are 2-4 ATS over their last six games when they were underdogs of over a touchdown. Kansas City's No. 5 scoring defense should have little issues against New York's No. 25 scoring offense. The Jets are projected to be held to just 3.8 yards per carry, with Geno Smith failing to reach 200 yards through the air. That won't be enough to stay within this number as Kansas City is forecasted to cover in over 50% of simulations, with the Over hitting nearly 60% of the time.
