2 Best Bets for Week 9 in NFC West
1. Back Rams to Continue Momentum
Our best NFL picks for Week 9 include the Rams to score a road win over the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field.
Winning on the road isn’t easy in the NFL, but the Rams have suddenly regained form with wins over the Las Vegas Raiders and Minnesota Vikings. We were particularly impressed with the win over the Vikings on Thursday Night Football, and they get extra time to prepare for this division game.
Quarterback Matthew Stafford is also back to his best, and he’s a tough QB to beat when his confidence levels are high. He was complimentary of receivers Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua, who showed good effort and energy in their return from injury.
“They brought a lot of energy to our team, and a ton of confidence,” Stafford said. “It’s not only just the offense. I know the defense feels it too when those guys are out there making plays.”
Improving to 3-4, the Rams are a half-game out first place in the division, which features three teams tied at 4-4. Los Angeles could be worth at flier at +450 to win the NFC West in NFL futures odds.
They would leapfrog the Seahawks, who are coming off a dreadful outing in a 31-10 home loss to Buffalo on Sunday.
Seattle’s defense allowed at least 29 points in four of their last five games and we think it will have trouble shutting down the offense of Los Angeles.
Therefore, our NFL picks include the Rams to win in what is a pick ‘em in early lines. We would have made them favorites, so bettors get a good line from our BetUS sportsbook for the Week 9 NFL clash.

2. Cardinals to Pile on Bears
The Chicago Bears had their game in hand against the Washington Commanders, but some horrendous Hail Mary defense was enough to get the Commanders the miraculous win.
Picking up the pieces won’t be easy for the Bears, which is why we’re backing the Cardinals to pile on the hurt and hand the Bears another road loss.
NFL betting odds have the Cardinals at even money, and we’re happy to include them in our picks. They scored a gutsy 28-27 win over the Miami Dolphins, and that was an excellent effort after scoring another close 17-15 win over the Chargers last week.
Caleb Williams quickly learning what it means to be a Chicago Bear

Consistency hasn’t been easy for them, but with the Bears still licking their wounds after seeing their comeback fall short, the mindset of the Cardinals will be superior. Arizona is the second choice in NFL lines to win the division at +400.
Quarterback Kyler Murray has been good without being brilliant. He has nine touchdowns and three interceptions, and he’s a much better QB than Caleb Williams, who was close to awful against the Commanders.
Williams went 10 of 24 for 131 yards, and most of those yards came late in the game. His rating was 59.5, and we can’t see his form improving enough to worry the Cardinals.
