NFL Week 9 Odds and Betting Lines: Baltimore Line Shrinking With Ravens Nursing Injuries

9:15 A.M. ET, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 2: A few select sportsbooks are dealing Los Angeles as high as -3.5 while the market consensus is a field goal spread on the road at Atlanta for the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. According to DraftKings, 69% of bets and 89% of handle are backing the Bolts, who are coming off a bye in Week 8. This total has moved from 48.5 to as high as 49.5 points.

8:30 P.M. SUNDAY, OCT. 30: The Chargers enjoyed a bye in Week 8 and now travel across the country to play Atlanta in a 1 p.m. ET start on Sunday. Los Angeles opened as a 3-point road favorite, but we are seeing some cheaper L.A. -3 spreads, indicating a potential move to -2.5. Falcons do-it-all WR Cordarrelle Patterson could return from injury in Week 9 to face a dreadful Chargers run stop unit. This total hit the board at 48.5 points.

8:48 P.M. ET, FRIDAY, NOV. 4: After initially jumping from Dolphins -4 to -5 following Tuesday's trade deadline, books adjusted the number for this contest between Miami and Chicago back to Dolphins -4 on Friday. The total remains at 45.5.

9:15 A.M. ET, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 2: Both the Bears and Dolphins were active during the league’s trade deadline, but it was Miami making the biggest splash, landing RB Jeff Wilson from Mike McDaniel’s former team — the 49ers — and beefing up their pass rush with LB Bradley Chubb from Denver. The Fins have jumped from -4 to -5 for this matchup in Chicago. This total has been the interesting adjustment, jumping from 44.5 to 45.5 with early play on the Over, then sinking to 43.5 points with the extended forecast calling for 25 mph winds at Soldier Field. However, pro groups took the Over and it has jumped back to 45.5 points.

8:30 P.M. SUNDAY, OCT. 30: The Dolphins opened as 4-point favorites in Chicago for Week 9 and quickly moved to -4.5 at many online shops in the first hour of action on Sunday night. This total opened as low as 44 points and adjusted to as high as 45.5 with early play on the Over. 

1:57 P.M. TUESDAY, NOV. 1: The Bengals looked terrible without WR Ja'Marr Chase on Monday Night Football in a 32-13 loss to the Cleveland Browns. Coming into Monday evening, Cincinnati was anywhere from -8 to -9 for their Week 9 matchup against the Carolina Panthers, but coming out of their poor showing books slimmed that number dramatically to Bengals -7. The total dropped from 43.5/44 to 42.5.

2:51 P.M. MONDAY, OCT. 31: It looks like it's going to be another week of P.J. Walker at quarterback for the Panthers. Walker led the Panthers to what should have been a win over the Falcons in Week 8 but, in one of the wildest finishes to an NFL game in recent memory, Carolina handed the victory to Atlanta in a silver platter. The pointspread for this week's game in Cincinnati opened as high as Bengals -9.5 at some shops, but has slimmed slightly to -8/-8.5. The total hit betting boards at 43.5 and has pushed up at a few books to 44.

9:15 A.M. ET, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 2: After dipping from Packers -3.5 to -3, this spread is back to Green Bay with the half-point hook on the field goal after Detroit traded away top tight end T.H. Hockinson to Minnesota at Tuesday’s trade deadline. There are a few books still hanging an expensive Packers -3 as of Wednesday morning. DraftKings books are reporting split bet count but 73% of the early handle on the home side.

2:31 P.M. MONDAY, OCT. 31: Week 8 was not friendly to either of these teams as the Lions blew an early lead in an eventual 31-27 loss to the Miami Dolphins at home, while the Packers showed a bit of fight but were never really a threat to win in a 27-17 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday Night Football. Sportsbooks opened the Packers as 3.5-point road favorites for this NFC North rivalry game in Detroit, but some early Lions action pushed that figure down to Packers -3 by Monday morning. The total opened at 49.

8:45 A.M. ET, THURSDAY, NOV. 3: The market consensus is Raiders -1.5 on the road in Jacksonville in Week 9, with a few 1-point spreads available. DraftKings books were reporting 54% of bets on Las Vegas and 79% of the money on the visitor. This total has ticked up to as high as 48 points with 79% of money backing the Over.

8:30 P.M. SUNDAY, OCT. 30: The Jaguars opened around a 1-point home underdog for this Week 9 matchup with the Raiders, and quickly got bumped to +1.5. Jacksonville is coming off a loss in London this past Sunday while Las Vegas plays its second straight road game after a shutout loss in New Orleans but could have TE Darren Waller back from injury. This total opened at 47 points and is down to 46 points.

9:00 A.M. ET, THURSDAY, NOV. 3: After pros came in on the Colts and knocked this spread off of New England -6, it dipped as low as -5 before Indianapolis RB Jonathan Taylor sat out practice Wednesday. With his status unclear, the market is anywhere from Patriots -6 to -4.5. This total has climbed a touch from 39.5 to 40 points.

2:37 P.M. MONDAY, OCT. 31: After opening as high as Patriots -6.5 on Sunday, bettors showed the books that they do not trust this Patriots team as a big favorite. Early action from pro bettors on the underdog Colts pushed this number down to Pats -5.5 by Monday morning.

8:30 P.M. SUNDAY, OCT. 30: The Patriots picked up a big divisional win over the Jets in Week 8 and now host the Colts and their questionable QB play. Sam Ehlinger was less than impressive in his first start of the season for Indianapolis. That has New England as big as -6.5 right out of the gate and has this total trimming, down from 39.5 to 39 points at some books on Sunday night.

8:55 P.M. ET, FRIDAY, NOV. 4: After slimming from Bills -13 to -12.5 on Thursday, the pointspread for this AFC East showdown continued to slim Friday, to Buffalo -11.5. The total also saw some action, dropping from 47 to 46.

9:00 A.M. ET, THURSDAY, NOV. 3: This AFC East showdown has seen Buffalo slim from -13 to -12.5 with some injury concerns in the secondary, however, a few online shops have stood their ground at -13 and even -13.5 as public players will gravitate toward the Bills closer to game day.

2:24 P.M. MONDAY, OCT. 31: The look-ahead pointspread for this AFC East rivalry game was Bills -10.5, but they've looked every bit the part of the best team in the NFL. Following their 27-17 beat down of the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football, sportsbooks reopened the spread for this game at -12.5. Early sharp bettors pushed that number even higher to -13 overnight and into Monday morning. The total opened at 47 and edged up slightly to 47.5 on Monday.

9:00 A.M. ET, THURSDAY, NOV. 3: The red-hot Vikings bring a five-game winning streak to Washington and money on Minnesota has bumped any field goal spreads to an industry consensus of Vikes -3.5. Covers Consensus is showing 60% of picks on the visitor.

9:15 A.M. ET, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 2: After a near-instant move from Arizona -3 to -2.5, money keeps coming in on Seattle and now has this spread as low as -1.5 at some respected online shops. DraftKings sportsbooks are reporting 68% of bets and handle are siding with the visiting Seahawks in Week 9. This total has moved from 50 to 50.5 points.

8:30 P.M. SUNDAY, OCT. 30: Arizona opened as a 3-point home favorite and quickly got bet down below the key number to -2.5 with early play on the Seahawks.

9:00 A.M. ET, THURSDAY, NOV. 3: Tampa Bay is now a field-goal favorite at home to the Rams after money from pro gamblers showed up Wednesday and took the home team at -2.5. The Buccaneers are still available at that shorter spread at select books on Thursday morning. Covers Consensus is showing a dead-even split in terms of pick percentage for this contest.

9:30 A.M. ET, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 2: Rams star WR Cooper Kupp is day-to-day with an ankle injury heading into this Week 9 matchup with the Bucs. Tampa Bay is bouncing between -2.5 and -3 across the industry. This total is sitting between 42.5 and 43 points, with two of the more disappointing offenses taking the field. 

8:30 P.M. SUNDAY, OCT. 30: These teams were once favorites to win the NFC, but now limp into Week 9 off bad losses. Tampa Bay opened as a 2.5-point home favorite off a Thursday night defeat to Baltimore. Rams WR Cooper Kupp seemed to injure his ankle badly in Los Angeles’ loss to San Francisco on Sunday. His status will swing this spread. The total opened as 42.5 points. 

9:00 A.M. ET, THURSDAY, NOV. 3: Titans QB Ryan Tannehill was back at practice in a limited fashion Wednesday and told the media it’s just a matter of if he can withstand the pain and be able to “move around” on his injured ankle. This spread still sits as high as Kansas Cit -13 at some offshores but respected online books have the Chiefs as low as -11.5. This total is down to 46 after opening at 47 points.

1:51 P.M. TUESDAY, NOV. 1: Malik Willis is taking first-team reps at practice ahead of Sunday's matchup in Kansas City, and sharp bettors are hammering the Chiefs early in the week. The pointspread for this contest was as low as KC -10.5 on Monday, but jumped to -12.5 across the industry as of Tuesday afternoon. The total is at 46/46.5.

8:30 P.M. SUNDAY, OCT. 30: The status of Titans QB Ryan Tannehill will swing this line after he sat out Week 8. Kansas City is coming off a bye, opening as 11-point home chalk in Arrowhead. Head coach Andy Reid is 20-3 SU and 15-8 ATS off a bye, going back to his first season in Philadelphia in 1999. Some books are as high as Kansas City -11.5 in the hour after opening Sunday night. This total opened at 46 points and is available as high as 47 points.

1:15 P.M. ET, MONDAY, NOV. 7: After listing RB Gus Edwards and TE Mark Andrews as doubtful for tonight, the Ravens have fallen to -1 or -1.5 favorites.

9:30 A.M. ET, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 2: Baltimore added to its defense by trading for LB Roquan Smith from Chicago this week. The Ravens will be without WR Rashod Bateman but should have TE Mark Andrews in action for Monday Night Football. The Saints opened as 3.5-point home underdogs but have slimmed to +2.5 as of Wednesday. DraftKings books are reporting 73% of early bets on Baltimore but the handle is much more balances, with just 58% of the money riding on the Ravens. 

8:45 P.M. SUNDAY, OCT. 30: Baltimore opened as big as -3.5 but early play on NOLA has slimmed that spread to a field goal after the Saints rolled over the Raiders 24-0 at home on Sunday. New Orleans has been plagued by injuries but could be the healthiest it’s been since the start of the season for this Monday nighter. The Ravens have had an extended break since beating Tampa Bay on Thursday, which is a good thing. Baltimore has its own share of injuries, namely TE Mark Andrews and RB Gus Edwards. The total opened at 48.5 points and has dropped to as low as 47.5.
