NFL Expert Free Picks Week 9

Seahawks cheerIt’s anther week of big spreads and big mismatches in the NFL this week here are the Sportsbook Veteran NFL expert picks for week 9.

Kansas City Chiefs +7 (-115)
Total 42
Jacksonville Jaguars -7 (-105)
Jacksonville became the first victims of the Tennessee Titans this season but don’t expect them to play victim to the KC Chiefs. Maurice Jones-Drew should have a huge week against the Chiefs porous defense.
Sportsbook Veteran NFL Free Pick: Jacksonville

Baltimore Ravens -3 (EVEN)
Total 43½
Cincinnati Bengals +3 (-120)

Baltimore was a desperate team last week but was able to dominate the previously undefeated Broncos on both sides of the ball. The Bengals are coming off a bye week and will be well prepared for the challenge. I would normally make a play for the home dog here but I was so impressed with the Ravens I’m picking Baltimore.
Sportsbook Veteran NFL Free Pick: Baltimore

Houston Texans +9 (-115)
Total 48
Indianapolis Colts -9 (-105)

Peyton Manning failed to throw a TD pass in the Colts game versus the 49ers and the Colts still won. I don’t think Manning will have the same trouble this week against the Texans defense. Houston can put points on the board, which could turn this game into a shootout. I like the Over 48 in this game but I don’t think the Colts cover the 9 points.
Sportsbook Veteran NFL Free Pick: Houston

Washington Redskins +10 (-105)
Total 41
Atlanta Falcons -10 (-115)
The Redskins are a mess.
Sportsbook Veteran NFL Free Pick: Atlanta

Green Bay Packers -10
Total 43½
Tampa Bay Buccaneers +10
Tampa Bay is well on their way to 0-16, I don’t see one game on their schedule that they can win. Green Bay will light them up.
Sportsbook Veteran NFL Free Pick: Green Bay Packers

Arizona Cardinals +3 (-125)
Total 44½
Chicago Bears -3 (+105)
The Cardinals haven’t lost on the road and the Bears are perfect at home, something has to give when these two teams faceoff. Both quarterbacks are susceptible to interceptions so this game could come down to who can take away the ball more. I like the over in this game but picking a team isn’t so easy.
Sportsbook Veteran NFL Free Pick: Arizona Cardinals

Miami Dolphins +10½ (-115)
Total 47
New England Patriots -10½ (-105)
New England’s offense has exploded in their past two week but those games were against the Titans and the Buccaneers. Miami is a little tougher and are currently undefeated in the AFC East. I think the Pats win this game but the Dolphins are a good bet to cover the spread.
Sportsbook Veteran NFL Free Pick: Miami Dolphins

Carolina Panthers +13 (-105)
Total 52
New Orleans Saints -13 (-115)
The Saints defense has come through with big plays and take aways this season. The Panthers have given the ball away too many times and I see that trend continuing this game. The Saints win large.
Sportsbook Veteran NFL Free Pick: New Orleans Saints

Detroit Lions +10 (-105)
Total 43
Seattle Seahawks -10 (-115)
Detroit showed some promise with a couple of close losses to much better teams earlier this season but with Calvin Johnson and Matt Stafford injured the Lions aren’t any better than last year’s 0-16 team.
Sportsbook Veteran NFL Free Pick: Seattle Seahawks

Tennessee Titans +4½ (-115)
Total 41
San Francisco 49ers -4½ (-105)
Chris Johnson is a beast but Mike Singletary will have the 49ers ready for him. It will be interesting to see if the 49ers can exploit the Titans poor cornerback situation. The 49ers should win a close one but not cover the spread.
Sportsbook Veteran NFL Free Pick: Tennessee Titans

San Diego Chargers +5
Total 47½
New York Giants -5
The Chargers are perfect against teams with losing records, the Giants are losers of three straight. Both teams need a win badly. Look for Philip Rivers to have a big game in the 2004 draft revenge game.
Sportsbook Veteran NFL Free Pick: San Diego on the Moneyline

Dallas Cowboys +3 (-120)
Total 48
Philadelphia Eagles -3 (EVEN)
The key to this game is Tony Romo avoiding throwing interceptions like he’s done in the Cowboys three straight wins. The Eagles defense is playing out of this world right now, expect to see an Eagle defender have a pick six against the Cowboys.
Sportsbook Veteran NFL Free Pick: Philadelphia Eagles

Pittsburgh Steelers -3 (-105)
Total 39½
Denver Broncos +3 (-115)
A win over the Steelers will vault the Broncos into the elite of the NFL. They have been underdogs in all but two of their games this season and it’s no different against the Steelers. The Ravens exposed the flaws in the Broncos last week and you can be assured Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin took notes. I love what the Broncos have done this season but my head screams Steelers.
Sportsbook Veteran NFL Free Pick: Pittsburgh Steelers
