We are now at the midway point of the NFL season, and a thrilling playoff race is starting to take shape. We have seen some incredible upsets, season-changing injuries, and a very busy trade deadline. The league is setting up for an exciting second half of the season, and we are going to make some money from it.
Our experts at USAlegalbetting.com have been studying each team over the first few weeks, and they are sharing their favorite eight bets heading into Week 9.
Below, we will share their picks, along with odds and insights, to help you win big at NFL betting sites this weekend.
The Titans may have found the future of their franchise in rookie quarterback Will Levis. The 24-year-old debuted last week and posted 238 yards and four touchdowns. He looked like a seasoned veteran, connecting with DeAndre Hopkins with ease. It was the best that the Titans' offense has looked this season, and we think he stays hot against a Pittsburgh team that will be without safety Minkah Fitzpatrick.
The Miami Dolphins bounced back from their loss to the Eagles to demolish a good Pats defense on Sunday. While there is no denying their pass attack is the best in the league, they have had some issues moving the ball on the ground. Raheem Mostert hasn’t found much room over the last two weeks, and things won’t be any different against a great Chiefs defense tonight.
The Vikings were turning their season around, but that came to an end last weekend when they lost Kirk Cousins to an Achilles tear. The team is still without Justin Jefferson, leaving them without a playmaker on offense. The team traded for Joshua Dobbs, but he’ll be learning a new offense if he gets the start. Minnesota doesn’t have the tools to score on this impressive Atlanta defense, and it will lead to a low-scoring loss this weekend.
The Rams may be without Matthew Stafford this weekend, but we still like LA’s chances to get the road win this weekend. One reason for that is their receiving corps, which is led by Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua. They will make life easier for whichever quarterback is starting, especially against a Packers defense without one of their top players, Rasul Douglas. The Rams' defense is good enough to shut down the Packers, giving their offense the support needed to get the win.
The Seahawks currently lead the NFC West, but we aren’t buying them as one of the NFC’s top teams. One reason for that is their schedule, which has seen them match up with teams like the Panthers, Giants, Cardinals, and the Browns. Now, they’ll be heading across the country to take on a Ravens team that is among the league’s best.
The Cowboys are coming off one of their most impressive wins of the season. They demolished the Rams 43-20 as they controlled the game on both sides of the ball. While they looked to be far improved from their beat down at the hands of the Niners, we see them backsliding against a hot Eagles team this weekend. Look for Jalen Hurts to expose the secondary, reminding everyone how important Trevon Diggs is to the Dallas defense.
The Bills have not looked good over the last four weeks, with losses to the Pats and Jags while barely avoiding an upset at the hands of the Giants. The loss of Tre’Davious White has taken a tool and is giving opposing offenses a way to do damage quickly. They traded for Rasul Douglas this week, but he’ll need at least one week to fit into this defense. Look for them to have a solid game, but lose to a hot Bengals team.
The Chargers offense appears to be cranking once again, with Austin Ekeler looking to be back to full(ish) health. They had no problems tearing through the Bears' defense last week, and we think they have the talent to score some points against this Jets' great defense. While LA’s secondary has some major issues, Zach Wilson doesn’t have the talent to expose them.
