Titans vs. Steelers odds

Opening line

With Pittsburgh QB Kenny Pickett nursing injured ribs on the short week, the Steelers could be stuck with backup Mitchell Trubisky. The Titans could also start a backup if Ryan Tannehill remains slowed by an ankle injury. Rookie QB Will Levis looked good in his pro debut, passing for four touchdowns. The total opened at 36 points at most books and is up to 36.5.

Dolphins vs. Chiefs odds

Opening line

The first Germany game of the year kicks off at 9:30 a.m. ET in Frankfurt. The Chiefs are coming off an upset loss at Denver and now travel as 2.5-point neutral-site chalk. This total had a look-ahead line as high as 54.5 points but the official Week 9 opener was 50.5 and that has dipped as low as 50 points on Sunday evening after a flat effort from the Chiefs offense in Denver.

Vikings vs. Falcons odds

Opening line

Vikings QB Kirk Cousins is out for the season with an Achilles injury, leaving Minnesota to start rookie backup Jaren Hall in Week 9. The look-ahead line before the injury was Vikings +1, putting Cousins worth around a field goal with the official Week 9 opener at Atlanta -4. The total opened at 38 points.

Weather

Seahawks vs. Ravens odds

Opening line

The Ravens didn't win over any friends after a late-game blip cost bettors the cover against Arizona in Week 8, but it was another win for Baltimore. That three-game winning streak has the Ravens opening as 5.5-point home chalk to Seattle for this 1 p.m. ET start on the East Coast (10 a.m. PT). The total opened at 43.5 points.

Weather

Cardinals vs. Browns odds

Opening line

The Cleveland QB situation keeps bettors guessing with Deshaun Watson missing Week 8 with a shoulder injury. Backup P.J. Walker could be to blame for Sunday's loss at Seattle, throwing two interceptions and fumbling away another turnover. Yet, here we are. Cleveland is laying more than a touchdown to the visiting Cardinals, who clawed their way to a backdoor cover versus Baltimore this past weekend. The total is a low 39.5 points.

Weather

Rams vs. Packers odds

Opening line

Los Angeles QB Matthew Stafford left the loss to Dallas with a thumb injury and early feelings from head coach Sean McVay was that the injury wasn't good. That could leave the Rams in the hands of backup Brett Rypien for this trip to Lambeau Field. The spread opened at a pick'em with the Packers coming off another poor performance in the loss to Minnesota at home in Week 8. This Over/Under opened at 41 points.

Buccaneers vs. Texans odds

Opening line

Tampa Bay gets a mini-bye before this non-conference clash, opening as a 2-point road underdog in Houston. The Texans came up short against Carolina and face a solid Bucs defense in Week 9. This total opened at 38.5 but is climbing upwards at some markets Sunday night.

Weather

Commanders vs. Patriots odds

Opening line

New England returns home to host the Commanders in Week 9, giving just shy of a field goal in this non-conference contest. The Patriots' once-mighty defense ranks in the bottom third of the NFL as does Washington, which could be why the early movement is pushing this total upward to 40 points on Sunday night.

Weather

Bears vs. Saints odds

Opening line

The Chicago Bears dropped a 30-13 decision to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday Night Football in Week 8, and take their road show to New Orleans for a meeting with the Saints (4-4) on Sunday afternoon. Books opened the Saints as 7.5-point home favorites and the total hit betting boards at 41.

Weather

Colts vs. Panthers odds

Opening line

The total is the big mover for this non-conference game, opening as low as 43.5 and jumping quickly upwards to as high as 45.5 points in the first hour of action. Indianapolis has been involved in three straight high-scoring games and the Panthers offense is revamped under the play-calling of OC Thomas Brown. The Colts opened as 2.5-point road favorites and have risen to -3 at some shops.

Giants vs. Raiders odds

Opening line

The Raiders return home on a short week after dropping a 26-14 decision to the Detroit Lions at Ford Field on Monday Night Football. The Giants come to town coming off their disgusting 13-10 loss against the Jets in the battle of New York (in New Jersey). Oddsmakers opened the Raiders as 3-point home favorites with a total of 38.5.

Weather

Cowboys vs. Eagles odds

Opening line

Philadelphia opened as low as -2.5 for this huge NFC East grudge match with the market consensus a cheap field goal favorite for the home team in Week 9. This opened as low as 46 points and is bouncing between that and 47 points on Sunday night.

Weather

Bills vs. Bengals odds

Opening line

The look-ahead line for the AFC Divisional Round rematch was Bills -2.5 but after the Bengals beat the 49ers 31-17 on their own turf, the official Week 9 opening spread came out at Cincinnati -1.5 and sits as high as -2. The Bills do get the benefit of a mini-bye due to playing last Thursday. This Over/Under total opened at 47 and is up to 48 points at some books. 

Weather

Chargers vs. Jets odds

Opening line

The Los Angeles Chargers get their second consecutive prime-time game in Week 9 as they travel to the east coast to take on the New York Jets on Monday Night Football. Both teams are coming off wins in Week 8, but oddsmakers opened the visiting Chargers (3-4) as 2-point favorites over the Jets (4-3). The total hit betting boards at 42.5.
