NFL Picks, Week 9: Predictions On Every Game

Peter King of Sports Illustrated started out the split picks by taking the Titans in a close one. He doesn’t believe Johnson will make the game-winning impact, however.

ESPN’s panel of experts split evenly at four votes apiece, though its simulator broke the tie in favor of the Bengals. CBS Sports isn’t quite as conflicted, however, as they have the Bengals across the board -- even when the spread is involved -- and the same goes with the fine folks at Yahoo! Sports.

That Super Bowl will have nothing to do with this matchup on Sunday ... except that you can expect to hear about it A LOT leading up to, during and after the broadcast. Oh, hey -- Peter King has a prediction over at Sports Illustrated:

As King mentioned, the Giants are banged up. New York’s receivers are dinged up, but so is their primary running back. The Ahmad Bradshaw injury could force the Giants to win this through the air, which has the experts leaning toward New England.

Sports Illustrated’s Peter King likes the Rams to win. But he really likes the idea of not watching this game.

Now I wouldn’t say this, but I’m sure there are some who’d rather watch the four-hour Kim and Kris Nuptials on rerun than three hours of Rams-Cards live. Maybe even some males.LOL!

King isn’t a lone wolf on this one either. Mike Freeman, one of the panel members at CBS, picks the upset. ESPN’s panel features a lone holdout too.

Perhaps the Colts will win a game at some point this season — they’ve been close a few times — but there’s simple principle in sports betting that applies to a game like this: never bet against a streak. Especially a streak that look like it’s definitely going to continue.

The experts are unanimous across all the different platforms, and they’re picking the Falcons. The eight football bros at ESPN are all picking the Dirty Birds, as are the guys at Yahoo! and at CBS.

Prisco is virtually alone in picking the Eagles by more than a touchdown. Peter King picks the Eagles narrowly. Pete Schrager at Fox has them by a touchdown. ESPN goes all in on Philly.
