NFL Odds for Every Game of NFL Week 9

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Kansas City Chiefs Odds

• Opening point spread: Chiefs -9
• Opening moneyline: Chiefs -450/Buccaneers +375
• Opening total: Over/Under 44.5 points scored
• Time: 8:15 p.m. ET Monday (ESPN/ABC)

UPDATE 7:45 P.M. ET MONDAY: With 30 minutes until go time, Kansas City is 9-point chalk in DraftKings' NFL odds Week 9 market. The Chiefs opened -7.5 eight days ago and shot to -9 by last Monday, then spent a good chunk of the week at -8.5.

On Friday, the number returned to K.C. -9, and it stuck there at various juice save for a few hours earlier today at -8.5. The Bucs are taking 55% of spread bets, while 57% of spread money is on the Chiefs.

However, it's lopsided action on Chiefs moneyline (85% of bets/76% of money), and it's clear that there's a lot of parlay/moneyline parlay liability running to K.C.

DraftKings' Julian Edlow relayed from the trading room that the book needs the Bucs to win outright and also needs the Under.

The total opened at 45.5, bottomed out at 44.5 early last week, peaked at 46 a couple times and is now 45.5. The Over is seeing 69% of bets/62% of money.

UPDATE 3 P.M. ET MONDAY: Five-plus hours before kickoff, the Chiefs literally just moved from -8.5 to -9. Kansas City opened as 9.5-point chalk, got as low as -8 early last week, and spent most of the past few days bouncing between -9.5/-9, with -8.5 jumping in a couple times.

Still, Kansas City is landing 67% of spread tickets/80% of spread money. And when factoring in parlays, moneyline parlays and such, the Chiefs are seeing huge support.

"Overwhelming liability on K.C., especially around parlays and teasers. The Bucs are shaping up to be the biggest need of the year so far," TwinSpires director of retail sports Zachary Lucas said.

The total opened at 44, peaked at 46 and is now 45.5, with 55% of tickets on the Under/58% of money on the Over.

UPDATE 5 P.M. ET FRIDAY: As the weekend approaches, the line is moving toward home favorite Kansas City. Fanatics Sportsbook opened at Chiefs -9, dipped to -8.5, but is now up to -9.5.

Still, Tampa Bay is seeing 62% of early spread bets/52% of early spread dollars.

"The public might be a little wary to lay the Chiefs at bigger numbers. The Chiefs tend to eke out wins by one score. They win so many close games," Fanatics Sportsbook senior editor Max Meyer said.

Indeed, although K.C. is 7-0 SU, six of those wins came by one score.

Fanatics' total climbed from 44.5 to 46 and is now 45.5, with 58% of bets/89% of cash on the Over early on.

UPDATE 5 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: Kansas City opened -9.5 and fell as low as -8 early, and the line is now -8.5 at TwinSpires Sportsbook. The Chiefs are drawing 65% of tickets/54% of money at midweek.

"Sharp play on Tampa Bay +9.5," TwinSpires director of retail sports Zachary Lucas said.

The total moved from 44.5 to 45.5, but action leans toward the Under, at 58% of tickets/55% of money.

UPDATE 10:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Kansas City (7-0 SU/5-2 ATS) remained undefeated, but had its four-game spread-covering streak end. The Chiefs beat Las Vegas 27-20 as 8.5-point road faves.

Tampa Bay (4-4 SU and ATS) couldn't overcome the absence of wideouts Chris Godwin and Mike Evans. The Bucs lost to Atlanta 31-26 catching 1.5 points at home. Tampa is 2-4 SU and ATS in its last six games.

K.C. hit The SuperBook's NFL odds Week 9 market as 9-point chalk, with no movement tonight.

"Stop me if you’ve heard this before: We will be rooting against the Chiefs," SuperBook executive director John Murray said. "The parlays, the moneyline parlays and the teasers will be rolling to Kansas City at Arrowhead on Monday Night Football.

"Wish us luck!"

Completed Games for NFL Week 9

Indianapolis Colts vs. Minnesota Vikings Odds

• Opening point spread: Vikings -6
• Opening moneyline: Vikings -250/Colts +210
• Opening total: Over/Under 46.5 points scored
• Time: 8:20 p.m. ET Sunday (NBC)

UPDATE 6:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Less than two hours before kickoff, the Vikings are 5.5-point favorites in Week 9 NFL odds at BetMGM. Last Sunday, Minnesota opened -6.5 and went to -7 within about 30 minutes.

But the Vikes fell to -6 Monday, then -5.5 Tuesday, in part due to news that Indianapolis will start Joe Flacco at QB. BetMGM moved Minnesota to -5 (-120) Saturday afternoon, then returned to -5.5 early this afternoon.

Contrary to the line move, the book needs the 'dog tonight.

"We need the Colts any way possible. We need an outright win," BetMGM senior trader Tristan Davis said.

The total opened at 46.5, bottomed out at 45 Monday and rebounded to 46.5 Tuesday. This afternoon, the number bumped to 47. No surprise, BetMGM needs the Under in a prime-time game.

"I have never cheered the Over in my time in this industry," Davis said.

UPDATE 5 P.M. ET FRIDAY: Even before Indianapolis announced Joe Flacco would start this week, Minnesota dipped from -7 to -6 in Fanatics Sportsbook's NFL odds Week 9 market. The Vikings are now down to -5.5.

Indy is seeing 60% of early spread bets/52% of early spread money.

"The interesting thing about this is there's more Colts money at 5.5 than Vikings money," Fanatics senior editor Max Meyer said, indicating perhaps this line gets shorter still. "A little shine has worn off of the Vikings.

"The public trusts Flacco a lot more than Anthony Richardson. Bettors think the Colts' offensive machine will run better with Flacco under center."

Fanatics' total has bounced around a bit this week, from 46 to 45, then up to 47 and down to 46.5. It's now 47 again, with 83% of tickets/92% of money on the Over.

UPDATE 6:30 P.M. ET THURSDAY: DraftKings opened the Vikes -7, then Monday morning went to -6.5/-6 in its NFL odds Week 9 market. On Tuesday afternoon, Minnesota fell to -5, where the line remains tonight.

That said, 72% of early spread tickets/65% of early spread dollars are on the Vikings.

The total dipped from 46 to 45 Monday, but rebounded to 46.5 by Tuesday afternoon. The Over is netting 73% of tickets/62% of money.

UPDATE 10 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Minnesota (5-2 SU and ATS) surely was on the bad end of a noncall in the Week 8 Thursday night game. If the Vikes – down 28-20 at the L.A. Rams – got the proper call of facemask, there was 80 yards to go for a TD and 2-point conversion, with 1:36 remaining.

Instead, Minnesota gave up a safety on the missed call and ultimately lost 30-20 as a 2.5-point road favorite. After a 5-0 SU and ATS start, the Vikings dropped their last two games. Making matters worse, right tackle Christian Darrisaw (knee) suffered a season-ending knee injury.

Indianapolis (4-4 SU/7-1 ATS) had its 4-1 SU surge end in Week 8, but the Colts covered for the sixth straight game. Indy, a 4.5-point road 'dog, came up short at Houston 23-20.

The SuperBook opened Colts-Vikes at Minnesota -6 on the NFL Week 9 odds board.

"This is one where we saw instant sharp action, with players laying Vikings -6 and moving us up to -6.5," SuperBook executive director John Murray said. "Life comes at you fast in the NFL. The Vikings went from 5-0 to 5-2 and without their best offensive linemen in a period of 10 days.

"Let’s see how they respond here. They are a very well-coached team, but so are the Colts."

The total dipped from 46.5 to 45.5 tonight.

Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Packers Odds

• Opening point spread: Lions -4.5
• Opening moneyline: Packers -200/Lions +175
• Opening total: Over/Under 49 points scored
• Time: 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 3:45 P.M. ET SUNDAY: The Lions are -2.5 (-108) at The SuperBook, 40 minutes before kickoff. Detroit opened -4.5 last Sunday and quickly dipped to -4. On Monday, the line moved to Detroit -3.5/-3, and it's been mostly at -2.5 since Thursday.

"It's the most-bet game of the day. We need the Packers. There are a lot of big bets on Green Bay. But the public is all over Detroit," SuperBook executive director John Murray said. "That's pretty expected. Short road favorites in the Sunday late window and prime time have been very good to bettors lately.

"I think there will be so much parlay money running to Detroit that we'll need Green Bay."

The total opened at 49 and backtracked as low as 46.5 Monday. But it spent most of the week toggling between 47.5/48, and it's at 48 now.

"We definitely want the Under," Murray said.

UPDATE 5 P.M. ET FRIDAY: Detroit is now 2.5-point chalk, down from a -4.5 opener in Fanatics Sportsbook's Week 9 NFL odds. Still, the Lions are seeing 76% of spread tickets/72% of spread money.

Further, Detroit is No. 1 in spread ticket count and spread money in Week 9. The Lions have two times more money than any other team to cover this week.

"With this line crossing over the key number of 3, it shows that the market thinks Jordan Love is more likely to play this game than not," Fanatics Sportsbook senior editor Max Meyer said, alluding to the Packers QB. "Early on, when this line ranged from 3.5 to 4.5, there was more money on the Packers at those numbers than the Lions. But there has been very lopsided action on Detroit at 3 and 2.5.

"With how much of a public darling the Lions are, there will be heavy Detroit interest whenever they’re an underdog or a small favorite."

The total opened at 48.5, bottomed out at 47, returned to 48.5 and is now 47.5 at Fanatics. Ticket count is 3/1-plus and money 2/1 on the Over.

UPDATE 5 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: The Lions are down to -3 (-118) in TwinSpires Sportsbook's NFL Week 9 odds, after opening -4.5. Detroit is seeing 63% of early spread bets, but 58% of early spread money is on Green Bay.

That money has come in despite the questionable status of Packers QB Jordan Love (groin).

"Sharp play on Green Bay +4.5," TwinSpires director of retail sports Zachary Lucas said.

The total crept from 48.5 to 48, with 67% of bets/53% of money on the Under.

"Sharp play on Under 48.5," Lucas said.

UPDATE 10:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Detroit (6-1 SU and ATS) likely got more than it expected from Tennessee in Week 8. For a quarter and change, anyway.

The Lions were in a 14-14 tie early in the second quarter. But Jared Goff & Co. finished the game on a 38-0 run to post a 52-14 rout giving 12.5 points at home.

Green Bay (6-2 SU/4-4 ATS) saw QB Jordan Love exit with a groin injury early in the second half. But the Packers managed to escape Jacksonville with a 30-27 victory, clinching it on a field goal as time expired. Green Bay failed to cash as 3.5-point road chalk.

The SuperBook's lookahead line for Lions-Packers was pick 'em. When the game reopened this evening, with Love's status uncertain, Detroit opened -4.5. An hour after opening, the Lions dipped to -4.

"Right now, you could make a very good case that the Lions are the best team in the NFL," SuperBook executive director John Murray said. "And the Packers saw Jordan Love get injured again in their win over the Jaguars.

"So where did we see the opening money? On Green Bay, of course. We moved it down to Detroit -4. This is the best game of the week, and in that afternoon time slot will be a major game for handle."

The total also fell a half-point to 48.5.

Los Angeles Rams vs. Seattle Seahawks Odds

• Opening point spread: Seahawks -1.5
• Opening moneyline: Seahawks -110/Rams -110
• Opening total: Over/Under 48.5 points scored
• Time: 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 4 P.M. ET SUNDAY: As kickoff approaches, the Rams are -1.5 in The SuperBook's NFL odds Week 9 market. A week ago, the Seahawks opened -1.5 and quickly went to -1. The line jumped the fence to Rams -1 Monday and got to -2 a couple times, including early this morning.

"Really good handle on this game. We've taken some really sharp bets on the Rams and really sharp bets on the Over," SuperBook executive director John Murray said. "We don't have a major need. We'll need Seattle for a little bit. But there's a lot of money on both teams."

The total opened at 48.5 and briefly touched 49 last Sunday. That number bottomed out at 47 early Monday, the climbed back to 49 by late Monday morning. Since then, it's been mostly 48.5/48.

Murray said the book would actually prefer the Over in this game.

UPDATE 5 P.M. ET FRIDAY: Los Angeles opened as a 1-point pup, but the line flipped as far as Rams -2.5 and is now pick 'em at Fanatics Sportsbook. L.A. is landing 68% of early spread bets and spread cash.

"It was all Rams money early. We finally saw some Seahawks action come in at +2.5 and then +2," Fanatics senior editor Max Meyer said. "People saw the Rams look really good against the Vikings. That was the healthiest the Rams had been in a while."

Health is again a concern this week, with Rams wideout Puka Nacua – who just returned last week from a knee injury – questionable this week with knee issue suffered in practice. But on the flip side, Seahawks wideout DK Metcalf (knee) will miss his second straight game.

Meyer noted that on the Rams-Seahawks moneyline, L.A. is seeing 6.5 times more money and three times more tickets.

Fanatics' total opened at 48.5, peaked at 49 and bottomed out at 47. It's now back at 48.5, with 77% of bets/87% of money on the Over.

UPDATE 6:30 P.M. ET THURSDAY: This line jumped the fence a couple times early in the week. DraftKings opened Los Angeles at -1, then Monday went to Seattle -1 and back to L.A. -1.

The Rams advanced to -1.5/-2 Tuesday and -2.5 Wednesday morning, before backing up to -2/-1.5 Wednesday afternoon. Los Angeles is taking 68% of early spread bets/71% of early spread money.

The total opened at 47.5, peaked at 49 briefly Monday and has been at 48 since Wednesday morning. The Over is getting 71% of bets/82% of money early on.

UPDATE 10:15 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Los Angeles (3-4 SU/2-5 ATS) breathed some life into its season with back-to-back home wins. In Week 8, the Rams brought wideouts Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp back in style, beating Minnesota 30-20 as 2.5-point underdogs.

Nacua (knee), out since a Week 1 injury, had seven catches for 106 yards. Kupp (ankle), out since a Week 2 injury, had five catches for 51 yards and a touchdown in the Thursday night victory.

After a 3-0 SU start, Seattle is 1-4 SU and ATS in its last five games. In Week 8, the Seahawks (4-4 SU/2-5-1 ATS) got rolled by Buffalo 31-10 catching 3 points at home.

"There’s not much to say here. We opened Seattle -1.5 and haven’t seen much interest," The SuperBook's John Murray said. "That was a dreadful showing from the Seahawks today at home.

"The Rams are starting to get some guys back and have three extra days to prepare for this game."

Later this evening, Seattle fell to -1, and the total nudged from 48.5 to 49 in the NFL odds Week 9 market.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Philadelphia Eagles Odds

• Opening point spread: Eagles -6.5
• Opening moneyline: Eagles -335/Jaguars +275
• Opening total: Over/Under 47.5 points scored
• Time: 4:05 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

UPDATE 3 P.M. ET SUNDAY: An hour before kickoff, the Eagles are -7.5 (-105) in TwinSpires Sportsbook's NFL odds Week 9 market. Philly opened -6.5 and spent time at -7 this week.

Philadelphia is getting 70% of spread tickets and 63% of spread money.

"The public is all over the Eagles. Philly is a massive teaser liability, as well," TwinSpires director of retail sports Zachary Lucas said.

The total opened at 47.5, bottomed out at 45.5 and is now 46, with 72% of tickets/54$ of money on the Over.

"Sharp play on Under 47.5/Under 47," Lucas said.

UPDATE 6:30 P.M. ET THURSDAY: DraftKings opened Philly -7.5 (-105) Sunday evening, dipped to -7 briefly Monday morning and has been at various iterations of -7.5 ever since. The Eagles are now -7.5 flat.

Spread tickets are running 2.5/1 and spread money 2/1 on the Eagles.

The total opened at 47.5 and twice bottomed out at 45.5, where it sits now. However, ticket count is 3/1 and money just shy of 2/1 on the Over.

UPDATE 10:45 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Philadelphia (5-2 SU/4-3 ATS) found itself in a 10-10 draw with Cincinnati at halftime. But the Eagles rolled in the second half to win 34-17 catching 2.5 points on the road.

Jacksonville (2-6 SU/4-4 ATS) had an opportunity to upset Green Bay, but couldn't quite get there. The Jags, getting 3.5 points at home, lost 30-27 on a field goal as time expired.

Jags-Eagles opened at Philadelphia -6.5 in The SuperBook's NFL odds Week 9 market. Within 30 minutes or so, Philly jumped to -7 and is now -7 (-120). The total went from 47.5 to 47 and back to 47.5.

Chicago Bears vs. Arizona Cardinals Odds

• Opening point spread: Cardinals -1
• Opening moneyline: Cardinals -110/Bears -110
• Opening total: Over/Under 45.5 points scored
• Time: 4:05 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

UPDATE 3 P.M. ET SUNDAY: The Cardinals have been short favorites all week at TwinSpires Sportsbook. Arizona opened -1.5, dipped to -1 and went back to -1.5.

It's two-way spread play, with 56% of bets/55% of cash on Arizona.

"The Bears are a small need for us on the spread and moneyline. This is the lowest volume [late-afternoon] game," TwinSpires director of retail sports Zachary Lucas said.

The total opened at 45 and is now 44.5, with 61% of bets/64% of dollars on the Over.

UPDATE 6:30 P.M. ET THURSDAY: This line has toggled between Cardinals -1 and Bears -1 multiple times this week at DraftKings Sportsbook. On Wednesday night, Arizona moved to -1.5, where the line remains now in the NFL odds Week 9 market.

The Bears are drawing 53% of early spread tickets/59% of early spread money.

DK's total opened at 45.5, toggled between 44.5/44 a few times Monday and has been steady at 44.5 since Monday afternoon. The Over is getting 66% of tickets, while 57% of money is on the Under.

UPDATE 10:45 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Chicago (4-3 SU and ATS) played a relatively poor game at Washington. However, the Bears got a touchdown/2-point conversion to take a 15-12 lead with 25 seconds left.

But the Bears then gave up a Jayden Daniels 52-yard Hail Mary as time expired, losing 18-12 as 1.5-point road pups.

Here's our DraftKings promo code for the Bears vs Cardinals game!

Arizona (4-4 SU/5-3 ATS) is somewhat quietly on a 3-1 SU and ATS uptick, moving into contention in a logjammed NFC West. In Week 8, the Cardinals topped Miami 28-27 on a final-seconds field goal, cashing as 4.5-point pups.

The Cards opened -1 vs. the Bears, moved to -1.5 within minutes and later returned to -1 at The SuperBook. The total dipped from 45.5 to 45/44.5.

Washington Commanders vs. New York Giants Odds

• Opening point spread: Commanders -3
• Opening moneyline: Commanders -170/Giants +150
• Opening total: Over/Under 43 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 10:15 A.M. ET SUNDAY: Washington went from -3 to -3.5 last Sunday night and has been at -4 since Wednesday at BetMGM. The public once again can't get enough of the Commanders, who are taking 85% of spread bets/81% of spread money.

"The Lions, Commanders and Bills are the most popular bets. Any of those teams not covering would be good for the sportsbook, but a loss would be ideal," BetMGM trader Christian Cipollini said.

Bettors are playing Washington on the moneyline, too, currently at -210. The Commanders are netting 75% of tickets/86% of money.

BetMGM opened the total at 44.5, fell to 43 early in the week and peaked at 45 Thursday. The total is now 44.5, with 54% of bets on the Over/58% of money on the Under.

UPDATE 5 P.M. ET FRIDAY: Washington is up to -4 from a -3.5 opener in Fanatics Sportsbook's NFL odds Week 9 market. The Commanders are nabbing 76% of early spread tickets and 60% of early spread money.

"The public is fully back on the Commanders, after shying away from them last week with the Jayden Daniels injury uncertainty," Fanatics senior editor Max Meyer said. "There’s been really good two-way action at 4, despite the Commanders having three times the tickets at that number.

"What surprises me a bit is that the Giants have received the least moneyline handle of any team in Week 9. You’d think a home underdog in a division game with a not-so-big spread would get at least some moneyline interest. But not here."

The total dipped from 44 to 43, but now sits at 44.5, with tickets and money in the 2/1 range on the Over..

UPDATE 5 P.M ET WEDNESDAY: The Commanders are -3.5 midweek on TwinSpires Sportsbook's Week 9 NFL odds board. That's up a tick from the Washington -3.5 opener, with the Commanders grabbing 75% of early spread tickets/82% of early spread money.

"The Giants haven't covered in three straight weeks, and the public believes that will continue. The Commanders have terrorized us this year," TwinSpires director of retail sports Zachary Lucas said.

The total dipped from 44.5 to 43.5, with 63% of tickets on the Over/52% of money on the Under.

UPDATE 11:30 P.M. ET MONDAY: New York (2-6 SU/3-5 ATS) has lost three in a row and four of five (1-3-1 ATS) heading into Week 9. In the Week 8 Monday nighter, the Giants lost to Pittsburgh 26-18 getting 6 points on the road.

On Sunday evening, Washington opened -3 vs. New York at The SuperBook, and the line moved to -3.5 flat, then -3 even. When the Giants-Steelers game kicked off tonight, Commanders-Giants was taken off the board. It will go back up Tuesday morning.

UPDATE 10:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Washington (6-2 SU/6-1-1 ATS) got the miracle win of the week and perhaps of the season. Rookie QB Jayden Daniels chucked a 52-yard Hail Mary to Noah Brown, giving the Commanders a shocking 18-15 win over Chicago as 1.5-point home favorites.

The Bears had taken a 15-12 lead on a touchdown/2-point conversion with just 25 seconds remaining.

New York (2-5 SU/3-4 ATS) still has Week 8 work to complete. The Giants travel to Pittsburgh for Monday Night Football.

Washington is -3.5 (even) vs. New York tonight in The SuperBook's Week 9 NFL odds, up a tick from the -3 opener.

"Washington keeps finding ways to win, including by a miracle play today over the Bears. The Commanders are going to become a popular public side if they keep rewarding bettors. Daniels is electric at times," SuperBook executive director John Murray said.

Miami Dolphins vs. Buffalo Bills Odds

• Opening point spread: Bills -6
• Opening moneyline: Bills -265/Dolphins +225
• Opening total: Over/Under 48 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

UPDATE 10 A.M. ET SUNDAY: Buffalo is 6-point chalk in BetMGM's NFL odds Week 9 market. That's where this line spent most of the week, after opening Bills -6.5. But make no mistake, it's all Buffalo today.

The Bills are attracting 86% of spread tickets/88% of spread money.

"It's all Bills money so far. We want the Fins. A Miami cover would be great," BetMGM trader Christian Cipollini said.

Bettors are even laying Buffalo moneyline, which is currently -275. The Bills are landing 69% of moneyline bets/79% of moneyline dollars.

The total opened at 48.5, peaked at 50.5 midweek and fell to 49 by Friday. It's now 49.5, with 61% of tickets/63% of money on the Over.

UPDATE 5 P.M. ET FRIDAY: Buffalo went from -6 to -6.5 and back to -6 this week on Fanatics Sportsbook's NFL Week 9 odds board. The Bills are taking a hefty 82% of spread tickets and 72% of spread money.

In terms of actual wagers made, only Detroit has more spread bets than Buffalo.

"Most of the Bills action has come when this line has been 6," Fanatics Sportsbook senior editor Max Meyer said. "At 6.5, we found our Miami buyers, as the Dolphins actually have gotten slightly more money at that number.

"I definitely understand the Bills love. They've dominated the series of late, with five straight wins over Miami. Josh Allen has done a great job this season limiting turnovers and sacks, which is a reason why he’s the current +300 MVP favorite."

Fanatics opened the total at 48.5, fell as low as 47, but rebounded to 50.5. It's now 49.5, with 57% of tickets/63% of money on the Over.

UPDATE 5:30 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: ESPNBET opened the Bills -6, and that's where the line sits tonight. But it's all Buffalo on the point spread, at 91% of early tickets/88% of early money.

The total opened at 48.5, climbed to 49.5 and is now 48.5 (Over -115), with 79% of tickets/82% of money on the Over.

UPDATE 10:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Miami (2-5 SU/1-6 ATS) got Tua Tagovailoa back on the field in Week 8, but didn't get a win. The Dolphins lost a shootout 28-27 laying 4.5 points at home vs. Arizona. A final-seconds field goal was the difference.

Buffalo (6-2 SU/5-3 ATS) takes a three-game SU and ATS streak into Week 9. The Bills rolled over Seattle 31-10 as 3-point road favorites in Week 8.

The SuperBook opened Dolphins-Bills at Buffalo -6 in the NFL odds Week 9 market. There's no movement on the spread so far, but the total inched from 48 to 48.5.

"We haven’t seen much on this game yet," The SuperBook's John Murray said. "Miami gave away another today against Arizona, and Buffalo has been rolling. The book will need Tua and company in this one."

Dallas Cowboys vs. Atlanta Falcons Odds

• Opening point spread: Falcons -2.5
• Opening moneyline: Falcons -145/Cowboys +125
• Opening total: Over/Under 48.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 10:30 A.M. ET SUNDAY: With 2.5 hours until kickoff, Atlanta is -3 (-115) at BetMGM, on a line that toggled between -2.5/-3 during the week. It's two-way spread play, with 60% of tickets/56% of money on the Falcons.

The total is out to 52 from a 48.5 opener, but that's not due to overwhelming action. The Over is seeing 60% of tickets/52% of money.

UPDATE 5 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: Atlanta went from -2.5 to -3 and back to -2.5 by midweek in TwinSpires Sportsbook's NFL odds Week 9 market. The Falcons are taking 62% of early spread bets/72% of early spread money.

"The public has no faith in Dallas. We're seeing lopsided support for the Falcons," TwinSpires director of retail sports Zachary Lucas said.

TwinSpires total is already out to 52 from a 49 opener, with a stop at 50.5 along the way. The Over is landing 74% of tickets/80% of money.
