80 Week 9 NFL best bets from sharp handicappers

Best bets to make from respected handicappers and sharp plays from sportsbooks

Week 9 of the NFL season is here, and there are a few games that are shaping up to be big decisions for sportsbooks. The biggest is the Washington Commanders (-4) at the New York Giants. Coming off Jayden Daniels’ Hail Mary and given how explosive the Commanders’ offense has looked compared to the stuck-in-molasses attack from the Giants, it’s easy to see why the public like the road favorite. Over 85% of the bets and 80% of the total dollars wagered at DraftKings are on Washington to cover, and Commanders -4 is the most-bet game by both tickets and money at BetMGM sportsbooks.

The public also loves the high-flying Detroit Lions (-2.5/-3) at the Green Bay Packers, even though it appears Jordan Love will start. The Lions are the second-most bet game by both tickets and dollars wagered at BetMGM, and the second-most lopsided game by total bets at DraftKings, with 77% of the wagers on Detroit (and 68% of the money).

Below, I’ve aggregated 80 Week 8 NFL best bets from respected handicappers and public betting info from BetMGM and ESPN BET. I also give more sharp plays from my conversations with oddsmakers in my paid chat, so subscribe today!
