Baltimore is a one-point favorite at Indianapolis on Sunday. (Image: Sam Upshaw\/<em>USA TODAY Sports<\/em>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The first wave of games features the Seattle Seahawks (6-1) at Buffalo Bills (6-2), Baltimore Ravens (5-2) at Indianapolis Colts (5-2), and Chicago Bears (5-3) at Tennessee Titans (5-2). The Miami Dolphins (4-3) at Arizona Cardinals (5-2) highlights the afternoon block. The day closes with the New Orleans Saints (5-2) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-2), which figures to be one of the big games of the season at sportsbooks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cAnd then we have teams that are playing pretty bad playing each other. We have to book those like we have to book everything else,\u201d <\/strong>said Johnny Avello, the director of race and sportsbook operations for DraftKings, to <em>Casino.org<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a look at Week 9.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Big AFC South Games<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Titans and Colts are tied for first place in the AFC South with 5-2 records.<\/p>\n<p>Baltimore started the week as a 3.5-point favorite over Indianapolis. But that line was down to 1 by Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"main-blockquote\"><p><strong>[Ravens quarterback] Lamar Jackson is coming off a terrible game,\u201d <\/strong><em>Avello told Casino.org.<\/em><strong> \u201cThe question is, how does he rebound? They\u2019ve won nine straight road games. Even though this number got driven down, I expect to see some Ravens money by the time this game starts.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Tennessee is a 6.5-point favorite over Chicago. That\u2019s up from 5.5 to start the week. The marquee matchup features Tennessee running back Derrick Henry, whose 775 rushing yards are more than 100 yards better than anyone else. He will be attacking the NFL\u2019s eighth-best scoring defense. Henry\u2019s over\/under is 94.5 yards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cWe\u2019re in the middle of the season, and there\u2019s a lot of teams in the hunt,\u201d <\/strong>Avello said.<strong> \u201cThe Bears need to keep winning to stay in the hunt behind Green Bay in the NFC North, and the Titans are in a similar situation. With the Colts, whoever doesn\u2019t win the AFC South won\u2019t necessarily make the playoffs.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Crashing Cowboys<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s not quite as lopsided as last week\u2019s Chiefs-Jets game, but the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers are a whopping 14.5-point favorite over the Dallas Cowboys.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"main-blockquote\"><p><strong>You\u2019ve got a Steelers team that\u2019s 7-0 and 6-1 against the number going against a team that\u2019s 2-6 and 0-8 against the number,\u201d <\/strong>Avello said. <strong>\u201cI think the bettors have had it with the Cowboys. But you\u2019re paying the price here if you want the Steelers.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Dallas is a mess. Star quarterback Dak Prescott is on injured reserve. Veteran backup Andy Dalton, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/dallas-cowboys-remain-nfc-east-favorites-after-dak-prescott-breaks-ankle\/\">who was supposed to keep the team afloat<\/a>, was out first with a concussion and is now on the COVID-reserve list.<\/p>\n<p>After rookie Ben DiNucci flopped last week, embattled Dallas coach Mike McCarthy is choosing between Garrett Gilbert and Cooper Rush. Gilbert, who entered the NFL in 2014, has six career passing attempts. Rush, who entered the league in 2017, has three.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"main-blockquote\"><p><strong>It\u2019s almost like a starting pitcher. Who\u2019s going to start? Us, as bookmakers, we don\u2019t care. It doesn\u2019t matter,\u201d<\/strong> Avello said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Here\u2019s the rest of the schedule, with the lines from DraftKings.
