NFL Sunday betting picks & top props | Week 9 preview

Passing the halfway point of the NFL regular season, the stakes are rising as teams push for playoff spots. With 13 games scheduled this Sunday, here are our top betting picks across the slate.

Miami Dolphins @ Buffalo Bills

With an NFL-high total points line of 49.5 points, top online bookmakers expect this clash between the Dolphins and the Bills to have plenty of action. While both sides are filled with offensive talent, watch out for Buffalo rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman. He has found the endzone three times in his last six games, while in the last two weeks he has accumulated 195 receiving yards and a touchdown, with more targets than any other teammate.

Dallas Cowboys @ Atlanta Falcons

After winning four of their last five games, the Falcons should be confident as they welcome the struggling Cowboys. Dallas have allowed an average of over 200 rushing yards per game in the last two weeks, which suggests the Atlanta rushing duo of Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier should heavily involved. Allgeier averages 44 rushing yards this season, and if the Falcons can get on top early, he will be a great chance to clear 50 rushing yards at +140 with Bovada.

Los Angeles Chargers @ Cleveland Browns

Despite receiving just five targets through the first six weeks of the season, Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman has turned his form around in the last two weeks. The second-year player has collected 180 receiving yards and two touchdowns in that span, all while averaging over 10 targets per game. At +350 with leading NFL sportsbooks, back Tillman to continue his great form with over 75 receiving yards.

Washington Commanders @ New York Giants

The Commanders have been the surprise packet of the NFL season, sitting second in the NFC while being led by rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. Expect Washington to be too strong in this divisional matchup, as the Giants have won just one of their last five games. New York average less than 10 points over the last three weeks, so back the Commanders to cover the boosted spread of -6.5 points.

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Philadelphia Eagles

While it has been a disappointing season for Jacksonville so far, a clear positive has been wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. The first-round pick has been very consistent, scoring a touchdown in four of his last five games. As underdogs, expect the Jags to heavily favour the passing game, where Thomas should be an endzone threat.

Indianapolis Colts @ Minnesota Vikings

With news of Joe Flacco taking the starting quarterback job for the Colts going forward, expect the offense to favour a greater passing game. One player who should benefit is wide receiver Josh Downs, who was Flacco’s primary option during a three-game stretch earlier this season. Averaging 72 receiving yards and over 10 targets per game, Downs offer excellent value to find the endzone at +300 with major NFL betting sites.
