Week 9 of the 2010 NFL campaign is going to get underway this weekend. Below you will find the current list of 2010 Week 9 NFL lines and spreads along with a breakdown of the Week 9 NFL odds. Be sure to check out the free NFL picks from the expert handicappers at Bankroll Sports this weekend…

A number of so called “better” teams are heading on the road to highlight the action this weekend, and here at Bankroll Sports, we’ll have all of our NFL Week 9 picks available for you throughout the week.

The Chicago Bears are probably in the most predictable spot this week, as they are heading into Ralph Wilson Stadium off of a bye week against the Buffalo Bills. The hosts have to be happy to be back at home, especially after crushing overtime defeats against the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs on the road in back to back weeks. Buffalo remains as the last winless team in the NFL, but that could change this weekend. Still, the oddsmakers are making the Bears 2.5 point chalks.

The biggest of the road favorites of the week 9 NFL lines are the New England Patriots. The Pats are laying 5.5 at the Cleveland Browns, who are coming off of their bye week as well. Cleveland looks as though it has a great, new look on offense with QB Colt McCoy calling the shots, and this will be the ultimate test to do what fellow rookie QB Sam Bradford did in the preseason: Beat the Patriots. You know that this is a huge game for Cleveland fans, as New England HC Bill Belichick was a miserable failure with the Browns. However, the Mad Scientist knows how hot and heavy the Dawg Pound can get, but he loves really sticking it to the team that he first coached way back in the day.

At this point, the biggest favorites of all the NFL Week 9 lines are the Atlanta Falcons. They’re taking on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in what might be the biggest game of the season for both teams. First place in the NFC South will be on the line, as the Bucs are only trailing Atlanta by a half game. We know that Tampa Bay really hasn’t played a solid schedule as of yet, but it has a chance to really prove the oddsmakers wrong in this one with what would be an excellent win on the road. The problem is that the two times that the Bucs have run up against definitive postseason teams this year, they were crushed by both the New Orleans Saints and Pittsburgh Steelers. The Falcons are getting healthy and are coming off of their bye week, and they have no desire to fall back to the pack in the NFC South. Atlanta is lined at -9 on the opening lines.

Perhaps the most interesting matchup of the week is that of the Miami Dolphins and Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens don’t lose at home often, though they were threatened by the aforementioned Bills in their most recent game two weeks ago. However now, they are coming off of their bye and certainly have their hands full with the Fins this week. Miami improved to 4-0 SU and ATS on the road this year last week by upsetting the Cincinnati Bengals 22-14, and the oddsmakers have appropriately adjusted the line accordingly. The Fish are still dogs, but only catching 4.5 points at M&T Bank Stadium seems like a short line.

As always in the NFL, we’re on QB Brett Favre alert, as we are worried about whether he’ll be able to keep his streak alive of consecutive games played after last week’s jarring hit against the New England Patriots that knocked him out of the lineup. We know that WR Randy Moss won’t be with the team anymore, as he was released on Monday just three games after being traded for from the same Pats that beat Minnesota last weekend. The Vikes are currently off the board against the Arizona Cardinals at home on Sunday until the Favre situation is officially sorted out.

In regards to the ‘total’, at least at this point, all eight games on the board are listed with ‘totals’ between 40 and 45, but we fully expect to see some bigger numbers by the time these games all go up and go off the board on Sunday.

It could be the biggest game in the history of the Houston Texans and one of the darker days in the last decade for the Indianapolis Colts. First place in the AFC South will be on the line, as the winner of this Monday Night Football betting affair will take over the lead in the division and be in the driver’s seat for the postseason. For Houston, this has never happened in franchise history. Of course, neither has winning a game in Indy, nor has sweeping the Colts. For Indianapolis, a loss would really be damaging to its postseason chances and could mark the beginning of the end of the Colts’ dynasty. You know that we have Monday Night Football props covered in this one, and you aren’t going to want to miss out on any of these great chances to make some coin on MNF.

Peyton Manning Passing Yards Over/Under 300.5
Simply put, this number just couldn’t be high enough for us. Manning is just going to tear this Houston secondary apart just like he did in Week 1 when he threw for well over 400 yards in one of the best passing days of the entire season by a quarterback. Many think that the Texans have the worst secondary in football, and based upon the fact that they are allowing 306.2 yards per game through the air, there is some really good justification for that. Unless the pressure gets to be too tough in the backfield for Manning, there’s no way that he doesn’t reach this number. Of course, nothing ever really ruffles the feathers of No. 18, so there’s no way that we are doing anything but playing Manning Over 300.5 Passing Yards (-115 at Hollywood Sportsbook) on Monday Night Football.

Arian Foster Over/Under 99.5 Rushing Yards
Are we certifiably insane here? Foster ran the ball 33 times in Week 1 and had the best rushing day of the season against the Colts, rumbling for 233 yards and three scores! However, we just aren’t so sure about the former Tennessee Volunteer’s chances in this one. Indianapolis has gotten significantly better against the run in recent weeks, and with LT Duane Brown out of the lineup serving a suspension, the Texans are missing perhaps their best run blocker in the lineup. There’s also something significantly different about playing this game from behind than from ahead, and we know that Houston isn’t going to march into Lucas Oil Field and absolutely beat the Colts down physically like they did in Week 1. Foster has a chance of getting to 100 yards on the day, but we tend to think that this is a bet for suckers only. The Texans are a passing team, and they’re going to show it on Monday. Go with Foster Under 99.5 Rushing Yards (-115 at Hollywood Sportsbook).

Andre Johnson Over/Under 78.5 Receiving Yards
Let’s be real here for a second. Andre Johnson is a man amongst boys on the field, and it seems like he can single handedly take over a game when need be. He is the best player in Houston’s lineup and it isn’t even close, and there is no way that he is going to be taken out of a game like this like he was in Week 1. It’s not that Indy really did anything special to eliminate the Miami Hurricanes standout in the first clash of the year. It’s that the running game was working so well that there was no need to put the pigskin in the air. Don’t be shocked if Johnson gets involved early and often, especially after the bye week that should help heal any nagging wounds that have kept him on the sidelines at times this year. After that huge performance against Kansas City when he single handedly won the game, Johnson should have no problem going Over 78.5 Receiving Yards (-115 at Hollywood Sportsbook).

Pierre Garcon Over/Under 3.5 Receptions
With TE Dallas Clark out of the lineup and WR Austin Collie considered extremely questionable, we know that someone has to step up to take over the reception load of one of the best tight ends in the game. Normally speaking, we would suggest that WR Anthony Gonzalez would be able to do that, but we aren’t so sure that he’ll be 100% effective even if he is able to start to play again for the first time since the very beginning of last season. We aren’t so sure that Garcon is going to be that man either, but if Manning is going to be throwing 45-50 passes in this game, we are very sure that at least a half dozen of them are heading in the Mount Union product’s direction. We find it very unlikely that Garcon doesn’t go Over 3.5 Receiving Yards (-155 at Hollywood Sportsbook).
