We’ve reached the midway point of the football season, and it’s time for our Week 9 NFL picks, headlined by Patrick Mahomes hosting Aaron Rodgers.

As always, the odds are from our great partners at WynnBet.

IND -10.5. 46. 2-5. 30. NFLN. Thursday, Nov. 4. 3-5. 8:20 p.m ET

Who thought we’d be excited to see Mike White in primetime? Yet, here we are. The Jets feel frisky, while the Colts desperately need to win.

Pick: Indianapolis 28, New York 20

3-4. 44. 5-2. 15. NO -6. FOX. Sunday, Nov. 7. 1 p.m ET

The Falcons can definitely win this game with Jameis Winston out, but the Saints are a much better defensive team and so well-coached.

Pick: New Orleans 22, Atlanta 17

5-2. Sunday, Nov. 7. 1-6. 1 p.m ET. 16. CBS. 52. BUF -14

The Jaguars couldn’t beat Geno Smith with two weeks to prepare. They’re going to handle Josh Allen and the Bills this Sunday?

Pick: Buffalo 31, Jacksonville 16

4-4. CBS. 5-3. 1 p.m ET. 53. Sunday, Nov. 7. 56. CIN -2.5

The Browns appear to be falling apart. Meanwhile, the Bengals have to be embarrassed and irate after losing to the Jets.

Pick: Cincinnati 32, Cleveland 24

45. CBS. Sunday, Nov. 7. 1 p.m ET. 4-4. 6-1. 123. DAL -9.5

This is a mismatch. The Broncos don’t have the firepower to handle the Cowboys. Dak Prescott should have a big afternoon.

Pick: Dallas 30, Denver 18

59. 10. CBS. Sunday, Nov. 7. 1-7. 1-7. MIA -7. 1 p.m ET

Who cares, this game is offensive to the sport.

Pick: Miami 20, Houston 14

5-2. CBS. 1 p.m ET. 28. Sunday, Nov. 7. 2-6. 31. LV -3

This isn’t an easy spot for the Raiders. Even though they have a huge rest advantage, they are dealing with the Henry Ruggs tragedy, and go cross-country for an early game. Still, Las Vegas is the superior team.

Pick: Las Vegas 23, New York 21

Sunday, Nov. 7. 26. BAL -6. 1 p.m ET. 3-4. 60. FOX. 5-2

This could go a million different ways. That said, Baltimore is the better team, at home, off a bye. The Ravens are also much better coached.

Pick: Baltimore 34, Minnesota 31

4-4. 47. CBS. 87. NE -3.5. 1 p.m ET. Sunday, Nov. 7. 4-4

Big game for both teams. Huge chance to get to 5-4 on each side, trying to get into the playoffs. Which quarterback plays better?

Pick: New England 19, Carolina 17
