With 12 games on today’s docket, here are your NFL Week 9 odds and spreads for Sunday’s games.

Here are our top 3 games to watch on Sunday:

It’s strength vs. strength at Frankfurt Stadium as Miami’s NFL-leading scoring offense (33.9 points per game) takes on Kansas City’s second-stingiest scoring defense (16.1 ppg).

It’s also a reunion as Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill faces his former Chiefs teammates.

Philly (7-1) owns a two-game lead over the Cowboys (5-3) atop the NFC East and is a field goal home favorite here Sunday.

Dallas, though, has won and covered in eight of the last 11 head-to-head meetings.

This is a rematch of last season’s divisional playoff game won 27-10 by the Bengals in Buffalo.

Josh Allen and the Bills bring the slightly better record (5-3 to 4-3) into this Sunday Night Football clash, but Joe Burrow and Cincy are the hotter team, having won three straight following a 1-3 start.

The rest of the schedule:

Rookie QB Jaren Hall is slated to start for the Vikings (4-4) following Kirk Cousins’ season-ending Achilles injury in Week 8.

The favored Falcons (4-4) also will have a new starting quarterback as Taylor Heinicke replaces struggling second-year starter Desmond Ridder, who has thrown six interceptions and lost six fumbles in eight games.

There are yet more moving QB pieces in this matchup as it’ll either be rookie Clayton Tune or veteran Kyler Murray for the NFL basement-dwelling Cardinals (1-7) vs. either P.J. Walker or Deshaun Watson for the host Browns (4-3).

Regardless, Cleveland is one of the biggest favorites on the Week 9 board.

The Rams (3-5) are another team which could have a new starting QB after Matthew Stafford injured his thumb in Week 8 vs. the Dallas Cowboys and was replaced by Brett Rypien.

Struggling QB Jordan Love and the Pack (2-5) have lost four straight after a 2-1 start but still are a field goal favorite on the not-quite-frozen tundra.

Washington (3-5) has lost five of its last six, so it’s not much of a surprise that the equally-struggling Patriots (2-6) are a field goal-plus favorite at home, where they’re 1-3 so far this season.

It’s a tough task this week for rookie QB Tyson Bagent as he leads the Bears (2-6) into raucous Superdome to start against the Saints (4-4) and their top-10 defense.

Two division leaders clash here in one of the under-the-radar matchups of the week.

The Seahawks (5-2 SU, 4-2-1 ATS) and Ravens (6-2, 5-3) also have been two of the league’s best teams against the spread.

Baker Mayfield and the Bucs (3-4) have dropped three straight after a 3-1 start.

They now visit a Texans (3-4) team that is 2-1 at home this season.

Carolina (1-6) picked up its first win in Week 8, outlasting the visiting Texans 15-13, moving to 1-5-1 ATS as well.

Indy (3-5) and new starting QB Gardner Minshew have lost three straight following a 3-2 start and are entering a stretch of four road games among their next five.

How will the Raiders (3-5) respond after the late-Halloween night housecleaning that saw head coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler fired?

The Silver & Black are still slight home favorites against the injury-wracked Giants (2-6) who should have QB Daniel Jones back at the helm after he missed the last three games with a neck injury.
