NFL analysts provided predictions and insights for Week 9 games, including fantasy sleepers and betting picks. Seth Walder highlighted three statistical trends: the Bills' defense's ability to disrupt the Chiefs' middle-of-the-field passing game, the 49ers' running back Christian McCaffrey potentially finding efficiency against the Giants' poor run defense, and the strength-on-strength matchup between the Broncos' offensive line and the Texans' pass rush.
Eric Moody identified five fantasy football sleepers: Sam Darnold (QB, Jets) who faces the Texans' weak pass defense, Jauan Jennings (WR, 49ers) who could see increased targets against the Giants, Luke Musgrave (TE, Bears) who might be a key option against the Bengals' vulnerable tight end defense, Jaylen Warren (RB, Steelers) who could get more touches against the Bills, and Nico Collins (WR, Texans) who has big-play potential against the Steelers' secondary.
Ben Solak predicted potential upsets, suggesting the Bears could bounce back against the Bengals and the Steelers might upset the favored Colts due to potential overconfidence from Indianapolis. He also noted that if the Vikings' current quarterback struggles against Detroit, they might explore trading for a more viable backup or starter.
