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.

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

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

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

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

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

Who cares, this game is offensive to the sport.

Pick: Miami 20, Houston 14

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

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

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
