Teams on a bye week: Cleveland Browns, New York Jets, Philadelphia Eagles, Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Let's not waste any more time and get into the previews!
And be sure to check out who our experts picked this week.
Bears (-2.5) @ Bengals
Bears (4-3) are coming off a loss to the Ravens after being held to a season-low 17 points, and the Bengals (3-4) are heading into the game after gifting the New York Jets their first win of the season.
Bears enter Week 9 with the No. 12 offence and No. 25 defence, but the Bengals aren't any better, rocking the No. 29 offence and No. 32 defence.
After being a question mark for the game, Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco will be good to go for Cinci, who are heading into the game having scored 33 and 38 points in the past two games with the veteran under centre.
The over-under is set at 51.5.
Vikings @ Lions (-8.5)
In the lone divisional matchup of the week, Minnesota will be getting back starting QB J.J. McCarthy for the first time since Week 2 to take on Detroit's No. 8 defence.
It's the first meeting of the two this season, and the Vikings (3-4) are starting to fall behind the rest of the NFC North, having lost three of their last five games and failing to score more than 22 points in all of them.
Meanwhile, the Lions (5-2) are coming off their bye week after they handed the Buccaneers their worst loss of the season by holding them to a season-low nine points. Their +64 point differential is the best in the entire NFC and fourth-best in the NFL.
The over-under is set at 47.5.
Panthers @ Packers (-13.5)
Carolina are getting back starting QB Bryce Young as they're heading to Green Bay off a brutal 40-6 loss to the Bills without him.
As for the Packers, their three-game win streak is currently the best in the NFC and they have scored 27-27-35 in each of those games, respectively. They are just one of five teams that have yet to lose at home this season.
QB Jordan Love is coming off his best game of the season after he tossed 360 passing yards and three touchdowns, along with a stellar 78.4% completion percentage (29-of-37), against the Steelers.
The over-under is set at 42.5.
Chargers (-9.5) @ Titans
Things are looking bleak for a 1-7 Titans team that ranks dead last in overall offence and 29th in defence. They've been outscored 89-37 over the past three weeks, failing to score more than 14 points in each game, as rookie QB Cam Ward is averaging one touchdown and one interception in the same timeframe.
Now, they'll be going up against a Chargers team that boasts the No. 4 offence and No. 7 defence. They've put up 27-24-37 points in each of their last three games, respectively, and have only one loss to an AFC team - the conference's No. 1 team in the Indianapolis Colts.
The over-under is set at 43.5.
Falcons @ Patriots (-4.5)
Only the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots are riding a five-game win streak heading into Week 9. Granted, the Pats' opponents' combined record in that span is now 13-26, with the past three weeks against the Cleveland Browns (2-6), Tennessee Titans (1-7), and New Orleans Saints (1-7).
They did upset the Bills in Buffalo back in Week 5 and now have sole possession of the AFC East and QB Drake Maye is our leading MVP candidate on our tracker heading into the new week (check out our MVP tracker here).
But for the Falcons, they're coming off back-to-back losses in which they put up 10 points in each game - the lowest for the team in a two-game span this season. Yet, their defence still remains the second-best overall in the league.
The over-under is set at 45.5.
49ers (-2.5) @ Giants
The Giants losing rookie sensation Cam Skattebo for the season with a dislocated ankle is a massive blow to an offence that began to rely on him more and more. Now, rookie QB Jaxson Dart is going to have to put the entire offence on his back going forward.
They've lost three of their last four games, all of which were on the road, but they're back home in MetLife, where they've won two of three home games.
San Fran will be heading into the matchup coming off their worst loss of the season, where they put up a season-low 15 points. Their 26 points allowed against the Texans for their third loss is also their second loss where they gave up exactly that amount of points (Week 4 vs JAX).
They followed up that Week 4 loss with a 26-point win against the Los Angeles Rams in the following week. Can history repeat itself?
The over-under is set at 48.5.
Colts (-3.5) @ Steelers
The wheels might be falling off in Pittsburgh as they've lost back-to-back games for the first time this season. Now, they'll be hosting the best team in the NFL on Sunday afternoon.
Indy not only have the best record, but they have an MVP candidate in both Daniel Jones and Jonathan Taylor, an Offensive Player of the Year candidate also in Taylor, and an Offensive Rookie of the Year candidate in tight end Tyler Warren - all leading the NFL's No. 1 offence, which will face Pittsburgh's 30th-ranked defence.
They could become the first team in NFL history to have three separate players win all three awards in one season.
Jones and Taylor could be the first QB-RB duo since Kurt Warner/Marshall Faulk (STL) to win MVP-OROTY (2001, 1998).
The over-under is set at 51.5.
Broncos @ Texans (-2.5)
Denver's offence is on fire right now. Their 77 points scored over the past two weeks are more than any team in the league and just one ahead of the Colts' 76. They now boast the No. 9 scoring offence and No. 8 overall offence and also house the No. 5 defensive unit that leads the league in sacks with 36 - no other team has more than 26.
Texans have their work cut out for them, but they're coming off a solid 26-15 over the 49ers for what was arguably their best game of the year after putting up a season-high 475 total yards of offence.
Both of Denver's losses this season have come on the road, while only one of Houston's four losses was at home.
The over-under is set at 40.5.
Jaguars (-2.5) @ Raiders
After putting rookie sensation Travis Hunter on the IR, Jacksonville will now be scraping for a win where they can find one after coming off two straight losses where they were outscored a whopping 55-19, failing to score more than 12 points in either game.
Since the Raiders' Week 1 win against the Patriots, they've only accumulated one more - against the 1-7 Titans. They're coming off a 31-0 loss to the Chiefs and have now scored 26 points in the past three weeks - the worst in the NFL - 20 of which came against the Titans.
This could be an ugly matchup all around. Don't expect Raiders rookie Ashton Jeanty to do much this week as Jacksonville reps the No. 6 rushing defence this year.
The over-under is set at 43.5.
Saints @ Rams (-14.5)
Saints rookie QB Tyler Shough will be making his first official start of his NFL career after the team benched Spencer Rattler during their Week 8 loss to the Bucs. He finished that game completing 17-of-30 passes for 128 yards and one interception.
Unfortunately for him, his first start will be up against the NFL's No. 2 pass rush. The Rams put up seven sacks last week against the Jaguars, and four on the Ravens in the previous games, while the Saints have given up nine in the past two weeks.
The Saints have been outscored 101-59 while on the road this season, failing to score 20+ points in each of those three games, while the Rams are 3-1 at home, causing the Colts' only loss of the season in Week 4.
The over-under is set at 43.5.
Chiefs (-2.5) @ Bills
The rematch of the AFC Championship is finally here, and it could prove crucial in determining who will eventually get home-field advantage in the playoffs between the two.
After the Bills' hot start, they've dropped two of their last three and now have five wins on the season and are second in the AFC East. The Chiefs, who had a rough start to the season, have won their last three and are on the upturn, also with five wins, but sit in third in the AFC West.
Could this be the test to see which team is better?
The over-under is set at 52.5.
Seahawks (-3.5) @ Commanders
The hurting Commanders will be taking on a Seahawks team fresh off their bye week. Washington has dropped three straight and have been outscored 72-29 in their past two.
QB Jayden Daniels is coming back this week after missing the Chiefs game. He hasn't been on the level he was his rookie season, but he has still put up 1,242 total yards and nine touchdowns with just one interception in his five starts this year.
However, the Seahawks pose the No. 1 rush defence (10th overall) in the NFL and have given up a league-best two touchdowns on the ground.
Daniels is going to need to have a great game through the air to break his Commanders' current three-game skid despite Washington possessing the No. 4 rushing attack.
The over-under is set at 48.5.
Cardinals @ Cowboys (-3.5)
The Cowboys (3-4-1) have yet to lose at home and have scored at least 40 points in those games. Their top three offence this season hasn't changed much in the rankings, but their current 31st-ranked defence has been the bane of their season.
As for the Cardinals (2-5), after starting the year 2-0, they have now lost five straight games heading into Week 9. The silver lining is that all of those losses have been by four points or less - they're not getting blown out by anyone.
They are fresh off their bye week, so possibly the extra break could be beneficial in this week's Monday night showdown. But with Kyler Murray out for the Cardinals, will backup Jacoby Brissett lead an upset?
The over-under is set at 53.5.
