Week 9 NFL Picks Against the Spread
— Joe Schad (@schadjoe) October 31, 2022
Chicago is #7 in the NFL at defending the pass (188.0 yards per game). However, the Bears sent up the virtual white flag in the past week, trading away defensive stalwarts Robert Quinn and Roquan Smith.
Pick: Miami Dolphins -3.5 (-110), 1 unit
NFL ATS Pick 2: Ravens (-3) vs Saints
The Ravens are just 1-3-1 ATS in their last five games, but they are 3-1 ATS on the road in 2022. Baltimore is facing the easiest schedule in the NFL over the remaining nine weeks. Not one opponent currently is showing a winning record.
New Orleans is 3-2 ATS at home. But the Saints have managed to lose outright to both the Buccaneers and Panthers this season.
Pick: Baltimore Ravens -3 (-110), 1 unit
NFL ATS Pick 3: Seahawks (+3) vs Cardinals
A full-time starter for the first time since 2014, Smith has thrown for 1,924 yards. He’s showing a 72.3 completion percentage, 13 touchdowns and just three interceptions. His passer rating is 107.2.
Arizona has lost two in a row and three of four to Seattle. At home, the Cardinals are 1-7-1 SU and 2-6-1ATS in the last nine games against the Seahawks.
Pick: Seattle Seahawks +3 (-110), 1 unit
- Eagles (-13) vs Texans: Eagles are 6-1 ATS in their last seven TNF games. Texans are 3-10 ATS on TNF.
- Patriots (-5.5) vs Colts: New England isn’t that good, but the Colts are a hot mess.
- Lions (+3) vs Packers: Detroit is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 against Green Bay.
- Vikings (-3.5) vs Commanders: Vikings are 4-2 in their last six at Washington.
- Bills (-13) vs Jets: Favorites in the Super Bowl odds, Buffalo failed to cover in beating Green Bay. The Bills are 7-1-2 ATS in the last 10 games following an ATS loss.
- Falcons (+3) vs Chargers: Once 6-0 Atlanta ends a two-game ATS losing streak.
- Raiders (-1) vs Jaguars: This is like trying to pick between a root canal and a colonoscopy.
- Buccaneers (-3) vs Rams: In this match of the last two Super Bowl winners, Tampa Bay is 0-5 ATS at home, but the Rams could be without WR Cooper Kupp.
- Chiefs (-12.5) vs Titans: Titans rookie QB Malik Willis won’t find going head-to-head with Patrick Mahomes to be the same as facing Davis Mills.
