After two rough weeks, my results were more respectable in Week 8. I hit on three of five game props and broke even on player props, bringing the season record to 31-40.
We have a slate of compelling matchups, and I’ve highlighted the major ones in the game props. I’m also riding with the New York Jets and Seattle Seahawks defenses for Unders in the player props section.
Week 9 NFL Prop Bets
NFL Week 9 odds used for prop bets are current as of Friday, Nov. 2
Dolphins vs Chiefs: Both Teams to Score 25+ Points (+220)
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 Unit
Against the two contenders they have played, the Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles, the Miami Dolphins have totaled 37 points.
The Kansas City Chiefs allow 16.1 points per game, second in the NFL, but the Dolphins will be out to prove that they can hang with another top-level team and won’t be held down.
Tyreek Hill will propel Miami to a healthy output against his former team. Patrick Mahomes, meanwhile, will be forced to respond as he rebounds from a flat Week 8 performance.
Back this featured matchup to be a shootout as our NFL bet of the day.
Seahawks @ Ravens: SEA Under 25.5 Points (-112)
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1.5 Units
This game between two playoff-bound squads looking to earn a statement win over a good team from the other conference has an Over/Under of 44. The defenses will control much of the game flow.
The Baltimore Ravens lead the NFL in points allowed, at 15.1 points per game. The Seahawks have not scored more than 24 points in their last four games.
Eagles vs Cowboys: PHI to Win From Behind (+160)
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 Unit
The Dallas Cowboys have won four of the last five games in this legendary rivalry, and they will be determined to hang tough and erase the stigma of their last loss against a top contender.
The Cowboys were demolished by the San Francisco 49ers in Week 5, and this is their chance to regain a lot of respect.

But the Eagles will ultimately prevail at home. The NFC champs knocked off Miami at Lincoln Financial Field two weeks ago, and they have the edge in a clash that can help to decide the NFC East title.
In a playoff atmosphere, I will count on Jalen Hurts over Dak Prescott when it counts, although the Dallas QB will move his team out to a lead more than once.
Bengals vs Bills: CIN Last To Score (-120)
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 Unit
Much like Miami and Dallas, Buffalo wants to score a big win over another top team to show it belongs with the better teams in its conference.
The Bills are coming off three uninspiring performances and are dropping in the NFL Power Rankings.
The Cincinnati Bengals look like they might be a major threat to win the AFC again, and they are coming off admirable wins over Seattle and San Francisco.
The Bills will make this a tight game, but the Bengals will pull it out at home when it matters most.
Chargers @ Jets: LAC 11-20 Total Points Band (+155)
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 Unit
The Los Angeles Chargers have scored 17 points in two of their past three games. Meanwhile, the New York Jets have allowed 24 total points in their last two games and have held the Eagles and Bills to under 21 points this season.

Week 9 NFL Player Props
Justin Herbert Under 1.5 TDs (-125) @ Jets
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 Unit
Robert Saleh has bragged about how well his team has played against the “gauntlet” of top QBs it has faced. The Jets held Josh Allen, Mahomes and Hurts to one TD pass each, and Justin Herbert is not going to outdo those guys against the New York secondary.
Tyreek Hill: Over 91.5 Receiving Yards (-125) vs Chiefs
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1.5 Units
This is just too much fun of a wager not to go in on it. Hill vs. the Chiefs is the ultimate “revenge”matchup in what may indeed be the most exciting game of the week.
Hill has 88-plus yards in six of eight games this season, and five 100-plus-yard performances.
Nico Collins: Over 58.5 Receiving Yards (-115) @ vs Buccaneers
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1.5 Units
Will Nico Collins actually double the receiving totals projected here? The No. 1 wide receiver for the Houston Texans has averaged 131.3 receiving yards in three home games this season, which is second-best in the NFL.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers rank 22nd in receiving yards allowed to opposing WRs.
Gus Edwards: Under 51.5 Rushing Yards (-120) vs Seahawks
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 Unit
I included Gus Edwards on my list of Week 9 fantasy football busts. He has totaled 144 rushing yards in his last two games, but the Seahawks rank fourth in rushing yards allowed to running backs and just acquired Leonard Williams to further bolster the defensive front.
Kyle Pitts: Anytime TD Scorer (+290) vs Vikings
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 Unit
Taylor Heinicke takes over at QB for the Atlanta Falcons and can pump some life into the passing game.
Getting the ball to one of his top targets will be a prime focus, and Atlanta should get into scoring position often enough for the new starting QB to find Kyle Pitts for a TD connection.
