Week 9 NFL straight up, against the spread, and survivor pool picks

NFL Week 9 Predictions, Picks and More

Lamar Jackson is set to return for the Ravens in this matchup against the Dolphins. Despite the injury report drama last week, Baltimore remains a strong contender in the AFC North. The team boasts an unblemished divisional record, with only two games separating them from their rivals. A win over Miami will keep the Ravens' championship aspirations alive.

Meanwhile, the Colts are looking like one of the most underrated teams in the league right now. Ranked seventh overall by Inpredictable.com's team rankings based on betting market information, Indy is a solid bet to cover the spread against the Steelers. The site ranks the Steelers 16th, while the Colts come in at 7th.

The Bengals are another team that's flying under the radar. At 29th in the league, they're not as bad as their rating suggests. The Dolphins, on the other hand, have struggled this season and could provide an upset for Cincy.

Caleb Williams has only had one impressive game so far this year, against a Cowboys defense that may be overrated. With Joe Flacco taking over quarterback duties in Cincinnati, things are looking up for the Bengals at home against the Bears.

The 49ers-Niners matchup feels like it will come down to defense, with the Giants' offense potentially putting points on the board against the Niners' injured defense. However, I'm not confident enough to make a pick against the spread in this one.

The Chargers have struggled on the road and may not be able to pull off an upset against the Titans.

Kyler Murray is set to lead the Cardinals against the Cowboys. The matchup between these two teams has all the makings of an entertaining primetime showdown, but I'm leaning towards taking the Rams in their next three games.

For my survivor pool pick, it's as simple as choosing the team with the best odds at home over the next few weeks. That means the Rams are my top choice this week.

As always, there are plenty of options for those looking to make some last-minute adjustments before the playoffs.
 
Man, I'm telling you something weird is going on in the NFL πŸ€”. First off, Lamar Jackson comes back from injury and suddenly everyone's talking about him being the best QB in the league again. Like, what's up with that? The Ravens are doing well, no doubt, but it feels like they're getting a pass because of their star player.

And have you noticed how all these teams seem to be performing way better when they play at home? It's like the stadium is giving them some sort of magic power 🏟️. The Bengals, in particular, are flying under the radar - I think that's because people want them to lose so they can make more exciting matchups.

I'm also suspicious about Caleb Williams' one good game against the Cowboys. Like, what was he eating before that game? Did someone give him a magic pill or something? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ It just doesn't add up.

And don't even get me started on Kyler Murray's primetime showdowns. I think he's just trying to distract us from something else. The Rams are getting all the attention, but what about the other teams that are actually doing well?

Anyway, my money is on the Bengals this week... or maybe not πŸ€‘.
 
im lowkey hyped 4 the rams chances vs the cowboys tho 🀯 kyler murray's gonna put up some crazy stats and the rams defense is looking solid atm. also think the colts have a legit shot at beating the steelers, they've been on fire lately 🏈
 
omg i'm so hyped for this nfl matchup lol 🀩 just watched a clip of caleb williams throwing a touchdown pass and i'm sold πŸ’ͺ the chargers have been struggling on the road so yeah i think the titans got this one πŸ”΄πŸˆ
 
πŸ€” I think the writer is kinda on point with their picks πŸ€‘, but what's up with all the paragraphs? Can't we just have a nice, simple table or something? πŸ“Š It's like they're trying to throw us off with all these short sentences and random thoughts 🀯. I mean, some of the team rankings are actually pretty interesting tho πŸ’‘. Like, 29th in the league for the Bengals? That's low πŸ’₯! And what's up with Caleb Williams only having one good game this year? Shouldn't that be a bigger deal? πŸ€”
 
I'm still waiting for Lamar Jackson to prove he's 100% fit after that injury scare πŸ€•... Ravens have been dominating in the AFC North so far, but Miami might be the perfect test for them... They're coming off a tough loss to Buffalo and their D-line is looking fierce 🐯. If Cincy can contain Tua, they might just pull off an upset πŸ€‘
 
I think Lamar Jackson's return is a big deal for the Ravens, lol πŸ’ͺ. They've been solid all season and with him back, their chances of taking down Miami look way up. But I'm still not convinced - that Dolphins team can be unpredictable, you know? πŸ€” I'd like to see them take care of business against Cincy first before putting my faith in them.
 
I'm so done with fantasy football this year lol I mean, can't we just focus on the playoffs already? but seriously, have you seen the schedule for next week? it's gonna be a crazy one 🀯 and I'm low-key rooting for the Colts to take down the Steelers they've been doing so well lately. I'm not sure about the Bengals though, they're still kinda sketchy even with Joe Flacco leading them.

anyway, back to football... Lamar Jackson is back in the game for the Ravens which is awesome news πŸ™Œ but we'll see how it plays out against Miami. I'm a bit skeptical about the 49ers-Niners matchup though, defense is always so intense and hard to predict πŸ”’
 
Ugh, football is like dating – you never know what's gonna happen πŸ˜‚. But seriously, have you seen the Bengals lately? They're like the quiet partner in the relationship – nobody gives 'em a chance, but they might just surprise ya with that one big kiss 😘. And can we talk about Caleb Williams' game against those Cowboys? That was like a Tinder match made in heaven πŸ’•. The Rams are looking solid too, especially at home. Can't go wrong with a team that's all about the win πŸ†. And who knows, maybe Lamar Jackson will bring his A-game and the Ravens will slay it 🐍. Fingers crossed for some awesome games this week! πŸ‘
 
Lamar Jackson is back and I'm feeling like it's gonna be a Ravens win 🏈! They've got that divisional record on lock and Miami doesn't stand a chance against their offense. And can we talk about how underrated the Colts are? Indy's been on fire this season and I think they'll cover the spread against Pittsburgh. The Bengals are looking good too, especially with Joe Flacco under center - that guy knows his stuff! 🀝
 
I'm so stoked that Lamar Jackson is finally back on the field 🀩. The Ravens' chances in the AFC North just got a massive boost with their star QB returning from injury. And you know what's even more interesting? The Colts being one of the most underrated teams this season. They're like a sneaky underdog waiting to pounce, and I love it πŸ’‘.

The Bengals are another team that's flying under the radar, but they've got some serious potential 🌟. Caleb Williams' impressive game against the Cowboys was just the start, and with Joe Flacco taking over at QB, things are looking up for Cincy at home.

But what really caught my eye is the Chargers struggling on the road. I mean, they're like a trainwreck that you can't look away from 🚨. They need to figure out how to get their act together and compete in away games.

The Rams vs Cowboys matchup is going to be EPIC πŸ”₯, but I'm not convinced Kyler Murray's team has what it takes to take down the Rams. And as for my survivor pool pick? The Rams all the way πŸ†. They're like the ultimate underdog story waiting to unfold.
 
πŸ€” I don't know about all these expert picks and whatnot... it's just football, right? Can't we all just agree that Lamar Jackson is going to do whatever he wants on the field and leave it at that? 🏈 And what's with all the stats and rankings and odds? It feels like everyone's trying to one-up each other. I mean, if I want to watch some football, I don't need to know who's ranked where or what the betting market says. Just give me a fun game and let's be done with it! 😐
 
omg i'm still trying to figure out this nfl thing can someone explain to me what a divisional record is again? like how do teams keep track of that kinda stuff? πŸ€” and whats up with all these quarterbacks coming back from injuries? i feel like lamar jackson is super important to the ravens...do they have like a backup or something? πŸ˜•
 
I gotta say, these NFL teams need to step up their game if they wanna stay relevant in the AFC and NFC... I mean, it's not like anyone wants a weak division or anything 🏈πŸ’ͺ The Ravens are trying to prove themselves, but can they keep that momentum going? And what about those Colts? They're flying under the radar, but can they fly high enough to make some noise in the playoffs? Meanwhile, the Bengals and Chargers need to get their acts together if they wanna be taken seriously... I'm rooting for some serious competition out there, not just a bunch of blowouts πŸ˜’.
 
think its crazy how teams like colts & bengals r flying under radar, r actually doin well πŸ€”. got a bad feeling about chargers vs titans tho, chargers r usually so clutch on the road 🚫. also love that ram pick, kyler murray against cowboys is gonna be a wild ride πŸ˜…
 
man i think the colts are gonna be a major factor in the playoffs this year they've been underrated for far too long and mckinnon is on fire rn i watched them take down the broncos like 30-10 it was a blowout lol anyway im loving the bengals right now joe flacco coming off the bench has me hyped for cincy
 
😍 Oh man, I'm so hyped for this week's NFL games! Lamar Jackson is back and I'm thinking Ravens all the way against the Dolphins πŸ‰πŸˆ. Those Colts are on fire right now and I love their chances against the Steelers. And can we talk about the Bengals? They're flying under the radar but Caleb Williams is looking like a star QB 🀩. Rams vs Cowboys though, gotta go with the team that's been consistent all season πŸš€. Survivor pool pick is easy peasy - Rams at home for me πŸ’ͺ
 
I'm tellin' ya, back in my day we didn't have all these predictions and rankings comin' outta thin air every week 🀯. We just watched the games and made our own picks based on how teams played. Nowadays it's all about analytics and betting markets πŸ“Š. I mean, I get it, stats are cool and all, but sometimes you gotta trust your gut, you know? Like with Lamar Jackson comin' back for the Ravens, that's a big deal, and I think they're gonna come out on top against those Dolphins 🐬. And don't even get me started on Caleb Williams, he's got some magic in him, but against the Cowboys defense? That's like tryin' to throw water against a firehose πŸ’§. Give me the Rams any day of the week, they're lookin' fierce πŸ”₯.
 
I gotta say, I'm loving this Ravens-Dolphins matchup 🀩 - Lamar Jackson is a total beast on the field and I think he's gonna lead his team to a big W. The Colts are lookin' strong too, all that hype about 'em not bein' underrated is for real πŸ’ͺ. And can't wait to see what the Bengals do with Joe Flacco at QB, that kid's got game 🀞. But I gotta say, I'm a bit skeptical about the 49ers-Niners matchup - defense is gonna win this one for sure 🚫.
 
Man... I was thinking about Lamar Jackson's return and it got me wondering... is it even possible to truly 'return' from an injury? Like, can you ever fully regain what you had before or is it always gonna be a little different? And that brings up this idea of 'aspirations' - are we setting ourselves up for disappointment by trying to achieve these championship goals? I mean, the Ravens have an unblemished record in the division, but will they actually win it all? Or will it slip away from them like sand between their fingers...
