Another week, another batch of storylines to sort through. At this point in the season, some teams are seeing their playoff hopes go up in smoke and it has some guys agitated. In Cincinnati, normally mild-mannered A.J. Green lost it and went after Jalen Ramsey as the Bengals lost, falling to 3-5. In New Orleans, Jameis Winston instigated a brouhaha that ended up with Mike Evans body-slamming a Saints defender and throwing punches. The Buccaneers lost by 20 points and dropped to 2-6.
In Philly, the Broncos completely fell apart – giving up 51 points – as Broncos Nation turns its lonely eyes to Paxton Lynch (Brock Osweiler?). The Giants are similarly hopeless and gave up 51 points to the resurgent Rams as Sean McVay has his team looking like a worthy challenger to the Seahawks in the NFC West. Week 9 ended with Detroit grabbing a rare win in Green Bay as Brett Hundley, it turns out, is not a worthy heir to Favre and Rodgers.
In Vegas, it was a good weekend for the favorites as they went 9-4 SU and 7-4-2 ATS. A couple of big underdogs won straight up, headlined by the Redskins waltzing into Seattle and winning at +350. The week’s games were capped with a brutal beat for anyone with the under (43) in the Lions-Packers game. With the score 30-10, the Packers were given one final play on the 1-yard line after a Defensive PI flag, allowing the Packers to score with no time on the clock.
