It's Showdown Sunday in the AFC, with four of the conference's top teams squaring off in two Week 9 games. In the afternoon, the AFC-leading Bills (6-1) will visit New York to face the Jets (5-3), who are tied for second in the AFC East. The latest Week 9 NFL odds at Caesars Sportsbook list Buffalo at -13 in that one. On Sunday Night Football, the AFC West-leading Chiefs (5-2) will host the AFC South-leading Titans (5-2). The games are two of 13 on the loaded Week 9 NFL schedule. Elsewhere around the league, quarterback Tom Brady and the struggling Buccaneers (3-5) will host the reigning Super Bowl champion Rams (3-4) in a rematch of a playoff game from last season, and the 6-1 Vikings will try to stretch their winning streak to six when they take on the Commanders. Before making any Week 9 NFL picks or NFL parlays, you need to see what SportsLine senior analyst Larry Hartstein has to say.
A former lead writer for Covers and The Linemakers, Hartstein combines a vast network of Vegas sources with an analytical approach he honed while working for Pro Football Focus. He entered the 2022 NFL season 427-344 all-time on NFL side picks (plus $3,764 for $100 players), including 394-330 against the spread. Hartstein went 68-50 ATS and 8-3 on money-line NFL picks last season for a profit of $1,552.
Hartstein also is 12-9 on his best bets this season, including 8-4 the past four weeks. Anyone who has consistently followed him is way up.
Now, Hartstein has locked in his confident picks for three Week 9 NFL games, and he has a parlay that would pay almost 6-1. You can only see his picks at SportsLine.
Top Week 9 NFL parlay picksAfter closely studying the Week 9 NFL lines, Hartstein loves the Jets (+13) to stay within the spread against the Bills. New York (5-3) has been one of the biggest surprises in the NFL so far this season, sitting in second in the division. The Jets have won four of their past five games.
Hartstein likes that New York faces a Buffalo defense that gave up 6.7 yards per carry to Green Bay last week. "James Robinson certainly will get more than the five carries he received in his Jets' debut," Hartstein told SportsLine. Hartstein expects a final score in the neighborhood of 27-16.
