Three alternate spreads make up this Week 9 NFL parlay.
The pregame narrative: The Buffalo Bills have dominated the Miami Dolphins lately and I expect that to continue this weekend. Elsewhere, Cincinnati Bengals and Jacksonville Jaguars should cover as alternate favourites and underdogs, respectively.
Check out my NFL Week 9 parlay picks for Sunday’s action.
NFL Week 9 parlay picks
Go to full NFL Week 9 betting markets.
Parlay: Bills -2.5 + Bengals -6.5 + Jaguars +10.5 (+310)
Bills -2.5 (-223): This is a must-win game for the Dolphins (2-5) but that means nothing to me.
Sure, Miami was missing quarterback Tua Tagovailoa for three of its last four losses but he looked rough against Buffalo in Week 2 before suffering a concussion.
The QB threw three interceptions in a 31-10 loss and is now 1-7 against his AFC East rival with a 74.1 passer rating. For context, Tyler Huntley posted a 74.6 passer rating in his three games with Miami this season.
The Bills are rolling right now, with three straight wins – two of which came by 21-plus points. Buffalo is 12-1 against Miami in its last 13 games, covering this line nine of those contests (three straight).
Other parlay picks
Bengals -6.5 (-130): This is also a must-win game for the Bengals (3-5), and they really have no excuse to throw this one away.
Cincinnati (3-5) hosts a Las Vegas Raiders team in freefall.
The Raiders have lost four straight games and three of those have come by seven-plus points. Davante Adams is a New York Jet and Gardner Minshew has been wildly inconsistent.
It’s fair to be worried about the Bengals defence, which is horrible, but Joe Burrow is still balling out and I think he can put up a boatload of points against a Raiders team which has allowed an average of 28.25 points during its losing streak.
Cincinnati has covered this number in two of its last three games.
Jaguars +10.5 (-163): I took a flier on the Jaguars as one of my Week 9 upset picks so will gladly bank 10.5 points with them for this parlay.
It’s been a miserable season for Jacksonville but Doug Pederson’s squad has covered this number in six of eight games.
The Jags are also 2-3 over their last five with tight losses to the Houston Texans and Green Bay Packers. In that span, they’re 4-1 against this spread, while averaging 26.4 PPG, and ranking ninth in offensive EPA per play.
The Eagles have beaten up on some bad teams lately but are 2-5 against this number this year and 2-16 against this number dating back to Week 8 of 2023.
