NFL odds, lines, picks, spreads, best bets, predictions, office pool, and survivor picks for Week 9, 2022

Just three games on the Week 9 NFL schedule are divisional matchups, which means there's not much familiarity in this week's slate. Games like Dolphins vs. Bears (+5) and Bengals vs. Panthers (+7.5) feature teams that haven't played each other since 2018. If recent results don't offer much NFL betting advice, then what other data could you utilize when making your Week 9 NFL predictions? NFL underdogs of more than three points in the NFL odds have covered well over 60% of the time this season. Does that make you more comfortable in backing teams like the Bears and Panthers with your Week 9 NFL bets? And who should you favor in NFL survivor pool picks and NFL office pool picks? All of the Week 9 NFL lines are listed below, and SportsLine's advanced computer model has all the NFL betting advice and predictions you need to make the best Week 9 NFL picks now.

The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up almost $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 9 of the 2022 NFL season on an incredible 148-107 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season.

The model also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past six years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 94% of CBS Sports Football Pick'em players four times during that span. Anyone who has followed it is WAY UP.

Now, it has turned its attention to the latest Week 9 NFL odds and locked in picks for every NFL matchup. Head here to see every pick.

Top Week 9 NFL predictions

One of the model's strongest Week 9 NFL picks is that the Bears (+5) cover the spread at home against Miami 60% of the time. Justin Fields has made major strides over the last few weeks and has five total touchdowns compared to just one turnover over his last two games. His ability with his legs has helped Chicago rush for at least 237 yards in its last three games, and that kind of ball-controlled offense will help keep Miami's potent playmakers off the field.

Miami has struggled against mobile quarterbacks, as it allowed 166 combined rushing yards to Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen earlier this season. Chicago has the No. 1 rushing offense in the league, and the model has the three-headed backfield of Fields, David Montgomery and Khalil Herbert totaling more than 150 yards on the ground. The Dolphins have the No. 26 pass defense, so there will be opportunities for Chicago through the air as well. This game is expected to be decided by less than a field goal, with Chicago (+4.5) covering in 60% of simulations. The model also says the Over (44.5) hits with the teams projected to combine for 47 points. See which other teams to pick here.

Top Week 9 NFL survivor picks

The model's Week 9 NFL knockout pool picks say to avoid the Cardinals, even though they are home favorites over the Seahawks. The Cardinals were favored when these two locked up in Week 6, but Arizona didn't score an offensive touchdown in a 10-point loss. The Cards have lost three of their last four, while Seattle has won three straight behind a retooled defense. After allowing 30.8 points per game over their first five contests, the Seahawks have allowed just 15 over their last three.

On offense for Seattle, rookie Kenneth Walker III has averaged over 100 rushing yards over his last four games, while Arizona is coming off a game in which it allowed a season-high 173 rushing yards to Minnesota. Those trends on the ground are expected to continue in Week 9, with the model projecting Seattle to rush for over 100 yards and average over 5.0 yards per carry. With an improved defense, a dominant ground game and the quarterback edge, the model favors Seattle and is bypassing Arizona with Week 9 NFL survivor pool picks. See which team you should pick here.

Top Week 9 NFL office pool picks

One of the strongest Week 9 NFL football pool picks from the model is that the Patriots beat the Colts. New England faces Sam Ehlinger who will be making just his second career start after failing to find the end zone in his first, a loss to the Commanders.

Ehlinger didn't get much help from Jonathan Taylor, as the reigning rushing champion has not scored since Week 1 and lost a fumble against Washington. The Colts rank 30th in scoring, 26th in red zone offense and have the most turnovers in the league. New England counters with a defense that has forced the most turnovers and held three of its last four opponents to 17 points or fewer. Indianapolis should struggle to generate offense in a tough road environment, and the model has it failing to reach 20 points. On the other hand, New England is forecasted to exceed its scoring average of 22.1 points per game and win outright in 67% of simulations. See which other teams to pick here.
