Week 9 of the 2020 NFL season gives us 14 games, and there are a litany of great ones to parse through. There is also the Monday night affair.

As always, all odds courtesy OddsShark.

5-2. 49. FOX. 4-4. 42. 8:20 p.m. ET. Thursday, Nov. 5. GB -4

It’s impossible to take the Niners here. They pounded the Packers twice last year, but they’re a shell of that team considering all the injuries. If Green Bay loses this one, it’s a full-blown disaster for Matt LaFleur and Co.

Pick: Green Bay 28, San Francisco 17

Sunday, Nov. 8. 16. 1 p.m. ET. SEA -2.5. 6-1. 36. FOX. 6-2

This is going to be a shootout. The Seahawks have the league’s best offense and perhaps the worst defense of any contender. Josh Allen can sling it and the Bills, who also can’t play defense, will need to score plenty.

Pick: Seattle 38, Buffalo 33

Sunday, Nov. 8. 60. MIN -4. 1 p.m. ET. 50. FOX. 2-5. 3-4

Minnesota is coming off a huge win over the Packers. Now the Vikings return home to take on the Lions in what is must-win for both teams. Frankly, it’s likely all over for both, but any hope of getting into the postseason picture requires a win.

Pick: Minnesota 27, Detroit 24

Sunday, Nov. 8. 58. WSH -3.5. 31. FOX. 2-5. 1 p.m. ET. 1-7

This division is an abject disaster, and both these teams are a great example of why. Still, take Washington with New York on a short week and Daniel Jones throwing picks at an incredible rate.

Pick: Washington 21, New York 19
