It’s officially the second half of the season, which is honestly unbelievable. Once again we had an absolutely brutal Week 8 around the league with this unpredictable season giving us a firm kick in the gut. The best record for picks last week was 9-4.

This week the only “lock” we have is the Packers to beat the Panthers, which seems safe on the surface after Carolina’s beat down at the hands of the Bills — but who knows? Every game is a trap game in 2025, and nothing makes sense.

Here are our picks for Week 9.
