Denver Broncos +8 (-125) at Philadelphia Eagles -8 (+105) Total: 43.5
The Eagles lead the NFC in record at 7-1 after handling the 49ers at home last week easily, by a score of 33-10. They’ve been a powerhouse, and most of it has been thanks to the excellent play of sophomore, signal caller, Carson Wentz. Their weakness in coverage has been covered up by a top pass rush on defense.
Betting Action
We saw Philly open as a -7.5 favorite in this game. At some sites, +8 is available for Denver, but the Eagles haven’t moved much farther, despite the announcement of Osweiler over Siemian. Bettors have wagered heavily on the Eagles in this one, with 65 percent of bets coming in on them.
Denver Broncos vs Philadelphia Eagles Prediction
I’ll continue to rate Denver as an underrated team due to their elite defense. It simply has not been as dominant in recent weeks, and that’s mostly because the offense has not moved the ball or turned it over.
Many see Osweiler as some massive downgrade over Siemian, but if you’ve been watching the games, I am not sure how you can make that case. Osweiler is probably not even an average quarterback, but he does have familiarity with the offense and the system. He could easily provide an upgrade at the position over the futility of Siemian.
Furthermore, the Eagles, while dominant offensively, have not faced a defense as good as Denver’s. Their 7-1 record and lack of a division game could also make this a bit of a look-ahead spot, especially with a game against the Cowboys in Week 10.
Kansas City Chiefs +2.5 (-110) at Dallas Cowboys -2.5 (-110) Total: 52.5
Dallas has been up and down this season, but have stretched their winning streak to two games after defeating the Redskins last week 33-19 in a game that was never close, despite the scoreline. The Cowboys front dominated a depleted Redskins’ offensive line to improve their record to 4-3.
Running back Ezekiel Elliot was expected to be out this week after a court ruling, but he was granted an administrative stay in court on Friday morning and will suit up this week against the Chiefs.
Betting Action
The game opened as a pk but started moving towards Dallas -1 before the Elliot news was announced. After that, it’s moved to -2.5 at many sportsbooks, including SportsBetting.ag. The total is the largest in Week 9, at 52.5 points, coming up from a 48.5 opener.
Kansas City Chiefs vs Dallas Cowboys Prediction
I managed to get Dallas at pk before all the line movement began, but I still love the Cowboys at -2.5. I don’t doubt that the Chiefs will be able to put up points against this Cowboys defense. However, their pass rush looked excellent last week, albeit, against a makeshift Redskins’ offensive line. Still, with all their pass rushers back – I wouldn’t be shocked to see KC’s offense slowed down a bit in this game.
Dallas, on the other hand, should have no issues steamrolling this defense. The unit has played much worse on the road this season, and the Cowboys offense is considerably better than Oakland’s and Houston’s, which put up 34 and 31 points against the Chiefs, respectively.
Lay the points with Dak, Dez, and Zeke.
