NFL Week 9 2020: Picks and predictions for each game
2-5. LAC -1.5. Sunday, Nov. 8. 13. 4:05 p.m. ET. 4-3. 28. CBS
The Raiders have to be the pick. Why? Because even though the Chargers may have the better roster, they can’t close games. It’s impossible to pick Los Angeles until that changes.
Pick: Las Vegas 31, Los Angeles 30
59. CBS. Sunday, Nov. 8. 32. 4:25 p.m. ET. 4-3. 5-2. AZ -4.5
Sneaky good game alert. Miami and Arizona are both in their respective division races, and while Tua Tagovailoa won his pro debut, he wasn’t good (94 yards passing). Kyler Murray and Co. are at home, off a bye, and drawing an opponent who needs to come cross-country.
Pick: Arizona 31, Miami 19
2-6. PIT -9.5. 4:25 p.m. ET. 7-0. Sunday, Nov. 8. 123. 55. CBS
Have you seen the Cowboys? This is going to be uglier than a SAW movie.
Pick: Pittsburgh 35, Dallas 6
NBC. TB -5.5. 8:20 p.m. ET. 5-2. 15. Sunday, Nov. 8. 6-2. 48
Best game of the week. Tampa Bay will look to exact revenge for its Week 1 loss at the Superdome. If New Orleans gets Michael Thomas back, this could be another Saints win. Still, it’s tough to bet against the Bucs right now.
Pick: Tampa Bay 31, New Orleans 28
47. ESPN. NE -7. 8:15 p.m. ET. 2-5. Monday, Nov. 9. 0-8. 30
I don’t care what New England’s record is, they aren’t losing to the Jets, who are basically on an unstoppable mission to put all their fans into a padded room by Christmas.
Pick: New England 27, New York 7
Last Week: 8-6
Season: 70-33-1
