Week 9 NFL Point Spreads

5) Dallas (-3) at Washington

If you simply go by the record of these teams, this game is not worthy of Top 5 consideration. However, it makes the list because this is always an intense match-up, and the fact that the Cowboys are always interesting to follow because of the team drama.

Dallas (4-3) got a much needed win last week at Carolina with Tony Romo at the helm. The team exploded for 25 unanswered points in the fourth quarter for a 35-14 win. The Redskins are 2-5 and coming off a bye-week. No word yet on whether quarterback Mark Brunell will be replaced by Jason Campbell. Week 9 NFL Point Spread Dallas -3

4) Cincinnati (+3) at Baltimore

Cincinnati is 4-3 on the year after a 29-27 loss to Atlanta. That record is a disappointment for a team that has Super Bowl aspirations. The Bengals still have the necessary talent, but are desperate to put together a game in which both sides of the ball play their best.

Baltimore is 5-2 on the year after a 35-22 win over New Orleans. It was a great effort from the Ravens who handed the Saints their first home loss of the year. The game also marked the first play-calling effort this year by head coach Brian Billick. If Sunday’s game was any indication, more good things are to come for their formerly stagnant offense. Week 9 NFL Point Spread Cincinnati +3

3) Kansas City (+2.5) at St. Louis

This is the battle of Missouri, and each team has the same record at 4-3. Unfortunately for the Chiefs, a 4-3 mark means third place in the tough AFC West division behind Denver and San Diego. St. Louis is in a tie for first place in the NFC West with a Seattle squad playing without quarterback, Matt Hasselbeck.

Each of these teams has a new head coach in Herm Edwards and Scott Linehan. Edwards has his team playing conservative, yet solid, football even with quarterback Trent Green being sidelined. They are 4-2 with back-up Damon Huard, and a win over their in-state rivals would get the rest of the Chiefs’ fans back on the bandwagon. Week 9 NFL Point Spread KC +2.5

2) Denver (+3) at Pittsburgh

Denver is 5-2 after a 34-31 home loss to the Colts. The defeat did more than add a notch to their loss column, it bruised the ego of the entire defense.

The Denver defense had only given up two touchdowns all year, but Indy had three touchdowns and over 400 yards of total offense.

Pittsburgh is 2-5 after a stunning loss at Oakland, and the playoff hopes are shrinking for the defending champions. Quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger continues his season long struggle, as he added four more interceptions on Sunday. Home field may be a remedy for their troubles, but will it be the cure?
Week 9 NFL Point Spread Denver +3

1) Indianapolis (+2.5) at New England

If it seems like these two teams play each other every year, it is only because they do. This is the sixth meeting in the last four years, and most believe that number seven will be coming in this year’s playoffs. The Patriots had won four straight in this rivalry until the Colts won 40-21 last year in New England.

Indianapolis is 7-0 and coming off a tremendous win at Denver. It is the second year in a row that they started off the season at 7-0. The Colts deficiency at stopping the run is the Patriots (6-1) strength, but the way the Colts are throwing the ball, none of that might matter on Sunday night.
Week 9 NFL Point Spread Indy +2.5
