Top Week 9 NFL Predictions

We can tell you one of the strongest Week 9 NFL picks in the model is that the Bears (+1, 44.5) cover the spread vs. the Cardinals. Fortune turned against Chicago in Week 8 and Arizona on Sunday as the Bears lost on a last-second Hail Mary, while the Cardinals won on a last-second field goal. However, you shouldn't rely on luck with NFL picks and don't rely too much on the data, which favors the Bears. Chicago has the league's No. 4 scoring defense, holding 13 straight opponents to 21 or less, while Arizona is just 24th in scoring defense.

The Bears are scoring more points per game on offense, and only four teams have a better turnover differential (+5) than Chicago. The Bears have a tendency to bounce back after losses — even heartbreaks like Sunday's — as they are 6-3-2 against the spread since the start of last year. Although Arizona now has two wins in a row, they've won three in a row in more than three years. Chicago wins outright, according to the model, which says the Bears cover well more than 60% of the time. See other team picks here.

Another Week 9 NFL prediction: Seahawks (+1.5, 48.5) cover at home vs. Rams in nearly 60% of simulations. Both teams have struggled against the spread recently, covering only one of their last four games. However, Los Angeles is in a class of its own when it comes to street expansion struggles. It is 0-3 against the spread in away games this season, making it still the only team to cover on the road in 2024. The Seahawks have dominated this rivalry at home for the past two decades, winning 14 of their last 20 home games vs. the Rams.

Seattle has the league's No. 1 passing offense, while Los Angeles has some trouble defending through the air. The Rams are in the bottom five in yards per attempt allowed, yards per pass allowed, defensive sacks and quarterback hits. The Rams' passing offense is undoubtedly boosted by the return of Cooper Kupp and Pukka Nacua, but the run game still lags and ranks 30th in yards per carry. Seattle (-1) is projected to cover with the extra point, and the model also says the over (48.5) hits in more than 50% of simulations. See other team picks here.
