Week 9 AFC North Prop Bet Preview: Take 2 Performance Doubles and Baltimore’s Defense FTW!

Let’s take a closer look at some NFL odds worth considering.

Ladies and Gentlemen, an AFC North Double Prop Bet

Do you know what’s more dangerous than a well-oiled Bengals team playing host to you for a football game? A well-oiled Bengals team came into the game with a three-game winning streak that includes beating Super Bowl LVIII odds favorites, the San Francisco 49ers, last weekend.

This Sunday, as the Bengals play host to the Bills, I’m looking at two specific scenarios that form one of the best double performance picks for week 9.

Firstly, I’m going with Ja’Marr Chase, Cincinnati’s star receiver going big on prime-time TV. Even with his scoring numbers not being the best thus far, now that Burrow is playing in full health and starting to show his best football once again, the one that could make him leap up in our NFL MVP odds page, that means great results for Chase.

Last week for example Chase put on a stunning performance going for 100 receiving yards and one TD. And it’s no secret that when Burrow and Chase are in sync, that’s when Cincinnati’s best offensive football starts to come through.

Riding on the high of beating the Niners, and with the chance to assert a massive blow to Buffalo, one of Cincinnati’s top contenders in the race for the AFC title, take Chase scoring at least once and Cincinnati collecting the dub for a big payday.

NFL Pick: Ja’Marr Chase to have 1+ TDs and CIN to Win (+174)

And now, Another AFC North Double Prop Bet

Unlike other seasons this is clearly Lamar Jackson’s best when it comes to his passing game. Having a career-high 70.5% pass completion percentage, it could be argued that we are witnessing Jackson’s best version as a passer. Yes, better than when he won the 2019 NFL MVP award.

One of Jackson’s main contributors to his success continues to be one of his favorite targets down the field and one of the best tight ends in the game, Mark Andrews. Andrews continues to be one of Baltimore’s most important pieces on offense, especially in short- and mid-range passing options.

He is the kind of player Jackson loves to target when he needs to open up the field more and more down the middle, all while giving his rushing attack a breather. While Seattle’s secondary will have its hands full trying to contain the rest of Baltimore’s receiver corps, I would definitely be keeping an eye on Andrews, especially close to the red zone for a possible TD pass coming his way.

In a game that Baltimore should be able to win, take this player double and run with it as one of the best NFL picks of the week.

Looking for a Lock? Take Baltimore’s Defense To Come Up Big

I know, my expert NFL pick in itself reads like something regarding the Seahawks instead of the Ravens. But, I’m here to talk about Baltimore’s defense, a unit ranked third in passing yards allowed as Geno Smith’s worst nightmare on Sunday.

The thing about Smith and the rest of Seattle’s offense is how inconsistent they can be from week to week. Last week, for example, Seattle put on quite a performance beating Baltimore’s divisional rivals Cleveland. This week, I don’t see the Hawks taking down another AFC North team, especially not one that has been playing so well this season.

With this Ravens defense destroying opposing offenses like it’s kids’ play, take Baltimore’s secondary intercepting Smith at least once and make your peace.

NFL Pick: Geno Smith Over 0.5 INTs (-108)
