The Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills will collide in the most anticipated matchup of Week 9, but a spooky ending awaits the home team at Highmark Stadium.

An 8-5 record last week (-0.77 Units) takes us into Halloween, with the Buffalo Bills looking for revenge at home as they play host to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Unfortunately, my NFL picks for Week 9 tell a different story, and one that will continue to give Josh Allen & Co. nightmares.Â

Expert Week 9 NFL moneyline picks
Ravens vs Dolphins: Ravens (-450)
Lamar Jackson will finally return under center for Baltimore, and with the Ravens’ defense coming off an impressive outing against Chicago, we’ve got the green light to back the favorite on TNF.
Read our full Ravens vs. Dolphins predictions.
Panthers vs Packers: Packers (-1200)
Green Bay outscored Pittsburgh 28-9 in the second half of last week’s primetime road win, and the Packers are set to embarrass a Panthers team that was just blown out at home.
Read our full Panthers vs. Packers predictions.
Vikings vs Lions: Lions (-510)
Detroit is well-rested off a bye, while Minnesota has seen QB Carson Wentz land on IR. J.J. McCarthy is set to make his first start since Week 2, but nothing from his early September performances warrants a bet on the Vikings.
Colts vs Steelers: Colts (-162)
Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh offense haven’t been the problem during the Steelers’ two straight losses — their defense has.
Jonathan Taylor and the Colts’ No. 1 scoring unit will gash a Steelers run defense that ranks 25th in the NFL, allowing 95.3 yards per game.
Read our full Colts vs. Steelers predictions.
Chargers vs Titans: Chargers (-460)
All-Pro safety Derwin James and CB1 Tarheeb Still are the latest Chargers to be banged up, but facing the Titans is essentially like a bye in 2025.
We can worry about the injury report when the Chargers take on Pittsburgh on SNF next week.
Read our full Chargers vs. Titans predictions.
Falcons vs Patriots: Falcons (+220)
When you get a chance to buy low on Atlanta, take it.
They always disappoint when given too much credit, but their stock has plummeted in the eyes of bettors following two rough losses.
The Falcons are back healthy, and their zone-heavy defense matches up well against Drake Maye.
Read our full Falcons vs. Patriots predictions.
Broncos vs Texans: Texans (-130)
Neither of these offenses is a sight for sore eyes; however, with reigning DPOY Patrick Surtain II out for Denver, the tiebreaker goes to the home team.Â

49ers vs Giants: 49ers (-152)
San Francisco laid an absolute egg in Houston last week, but the coaching duo of Kyle Shanahan and Robert Saleh is too savvy to let that slide.Â
Niners get back on track in the Meadowlands.
Read our full 49ers vs. Giants predictions.
Bears vs. Bengals: Bears (-154)
It’s unclear whether Joe Flacco or Jake Browning will start for Cincinnati, so I’ll back the Bears to prevail on the road.Â
Chicago can still run the ball, while the Bengals have struggled to get anything going on the ground.

Jaguars vs Raiders: Jaguars (-174)
Facing the lowly Pete Carroll Raiders is just what the doctor ordered for Jacksonville, which is chomping at the bit for a win following a humiliating display in London two weeks ago.
Despite a slight hiccup, the team has completely bought in under Liam Coen, while the Raiders have become a retirement home for Carroll’s former Seahawks players (welcome, Tyler Lockett!).
Read our full Jaguars vs. Raiders predictions.
Saints vs Rams: Rams (-1150)
The jury is out on whether Tyler Shough can be a viable starter in the NFL, but his first career start against the Rams is going to be ugly.Â
Los Angeles is going to bring the heat, so expect a turnover or two in a lopsided affair at SoFi.
Read our full Saints vs. Rams predictions.
Chiefs vs Bills: Chiefs (-126)
Listen, I have Chiefs fatigue as much as the next guy, but KC’s offense has been taken to the next level with the return of Rashee Rice.
Add in Buffalo losing DT Ed Oliver to a torn bicep, and the Chiefs should find some success on the ground in this one as well.
Kansas City spoils the party (again) against their AFC rivals.Â
Read our full Chiefs vs. Bills predictions.
Seahawks vs Commanders: Seahawks (-178)
Whether Jayden Daniels starts or not, this Commanders team is completely overrated. We put way too much emphasis on the trade for Deebo Samuel, and the defense remains dreadful against the pass.
The Seahawks are going to decimate Washington on Sunday night.Â
Read our full Seahawks vs. Commanders predictions.
Cardinals vs Cowboys: Cowboys (-152)
I’m still traumatized from having Jacoby Brissett as the starter of my Colts in 2017 and 2019.
Brissett’s actually looked half-decent for Arizona, but I can never bet on him when he’s taking snaps. There’s too much baggage.
My NFL moneyline record is 80-41 this season for +10.49 units.
