NFL Week 9 Tips
?Philadelphia Eagles @ New York Giants
I found this game toughest to predict. The Giants are frustrating in they seem to have so much more potential than is coming out. The offence should be better. Maybe the lack of a viable running back is holding them back but it is always scary to predict under for this team as they could explode. The Eagles defence has looked superb this season especially at getting sacks. Considering the Eagles lack of offensive weapons they have been good on that side of the ball this season with Wentz looking superb. The Giants defence has deteriorated after looking good early in the season.
Tip: Over 60.5 total yards for Darren Sproles @1.83
Tennessee Titans @ San Diego Chargers
Why this game was picked by Sky Sports I will never know. The Chargers after a really rough start have improved and look like a potential playoff team. The Titans are a best a playoff team because their division is awful. The defence of the Chargers has improved a large amount since Joey Bosa has joined the team. Mariota may not be a good quarterback and that pressure will only harm him. The Chargers can cover here with a big win.
Tip: San Diego Chargers -4.5 on handicap @1.98
Denver Broncos @ Oakland Raiders
The best game of the week for me. Denver have a superb defence but the offence is below par. C.J Anderson has lost the season to injury while Booker is also hurt. The Raiders have a superb offence led by Derek Carr and a poor defence. Last season seemed to show us to go with the better defence here. However the defence has got worse and the offence is also probably worse while Oakland seem to be pulling games out of nowhere that they should not win.
Tip: Oakland Raiders to win @1.92
Seattle Seahawks @ Buffalo Bills
Neither of these offences are currently firing. The rushing attack of Seattle has disappeared. Without that threat teams can stop the passing of Russell Wilson. It also cannot help that they have the worst offensive line in the league. Bills have a great rushing attack led by LeSean McCoy but he has been hobbled for the last two weeks. The under has to the more likely option here.
Tip: Under 44.0 @1.83
Carolina Panthers @ Los Angeles Rams
The Panthers have had a problem all years. It is mainly defensive troubles as Panthers have no real options at cornerback. That usually harms them in this league but the Rams have the worst quarterback and receiver combination in the league. The running of Cam can also slow down the defence of the Rams.
Tip: Carolina Panthers -3.5 on handicap @2.14
Profit: +26.05
W/L: 9-6
