CBS Sports analyst Pete Prisco enters Week 9 with a 50-68-3 against-the-spread record but a solid 72-48-1 straight-up mark. He leans on several underdogs this week in an attempt to correct his ATS slump.
Key Predictions
Prisco favors the Dallas Cowboys (-6) to rebound with a 31-17 win over the struggling Indianapolis Colts. He also likes the Green Bay Packers (+3) to edge the New England Patriots 19-16 in a low-scoring affair, citing Jordan Love's late-game playmaking.
Other notable picks include the Denver Broncos (-2.5) over the Carolina Panthers (26-20), the Detroit Lions (-7) routing the Miami Dolphins 30-13, and the San Francisco 49ers (-10) dominating the Las Vegas Raiders 31-17. Prisco also projects the Kansas City Chiefs to snap a two-game skid against the New York Jets (24-17) and the Buffalo Bills (-3.5) to outlast the Minnesota Vikings 21-14 in Monday night's marquee matchup.
International games feature the Cincinnati Bengals (-3) over the Atlanta Falcons in Madrid (33-21) and the Jacksonville Jaguars (-10) capitalizing on Lamar Jackson's absence to beat the Baltimore Ravens 27-16 on Thursday night.
