NFL Picks Week 9: Bills at Jets Battle in AFC East

The NFL season has reached the midway point and teams are trying to position themselves for a postseason run. There is a full slate of games for week 9 with the AFC East battle between the Bills and Jets headlining the action.

Los Angeles Chargers versus Atlanta Falcons

The Chargers come into the contest “average down” and +26 on the Power Ranks Indicator, while the Falcons are “average up” and +15, respectively. The Chargers are road favorites with odds of 1.590 to 2.352 with a line of -3.5 and an “over/under” at 49.5. The Score Predictor likes the Chargers by a 30-29 score with 67 percent confidence. It’s worth noting that the Falcons are the more stable team, at +4 to +2 on the Team Volatility Oscillator. I like the Chargers on the road to win and cover in a game “over” the line.

Buffalo Bills versus New York Jets

In the AFC East battle, the Bills head to New York as 12.5-point favorites with odds of 1.14 to 5.60 and an over/under set at 46.5. Buffalo is “burning hot” on the Team Strength Oscillator and +29 on the Power Ranks Indicator compared to “average” and +27 for New York. The Score Predictor likes Buffalo by a 28-15 margin with 48 percent confidence. Be aware that New York has been very unstable at -1 on the Team Volatility Oscillator. Go with the Bills in a game “over” the line, but don’t be surprised if the Jets cover at home.

Tennessee Titans versus Kansas City Chiefs

In a battle of two of the top teams in the AFC, the Chiefs host the Bills. Kansas City is “average up” and +22 on the Power Ranks Indicator, while the Titans are “burning hot” and +24, respectively. The Chiefs are huge favorites of 12.5 points with odds of 1.14 to 5.6 with an over/under set at 45.5. The Score Predictor has Kansas City by the narrowest of margins, 26-25 with 72 percent confidence. I like the Chiefs at home in a game “over” the line, but pick the Titans to cover.

Los Angeles Rams versus Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Tampa Bay enters having lost five of their last six games. They are 2.5-point favorites over the Rams with odds of 1.67 to 2.18 and an over/under of 42.5. The Score Predictor has the Buccaneers by a 27-25 score with 65 percent confidence. Los Angeles is “average down” on the Team Strength Oscillator and +19 on the Power Ranks Indicator compared to “dead” and +8. Be aware of the fact that both teams are only moderately stable, at +2 and +1 on the Team Volatility Oscillator. I like Tampa Bay to break the skid in a game “under” the line.
