talkSPORT betting tips – Best NFL bets and expert advice for Week 9 of the season

Wait 5 sec.

The 2025 NFL action continues in Week 9 with all teams jostling for positions in their respective divisions, which are starting to take shape.Last season’s Super Bowl runners-up, the Kansas City Chiefs, have started to find their feet but face a quick turnaround when they head to the Buffalo Bills in the pick of the week’s fixtures.The San Francisco 49ers have an opportunity to improve their position in the NFC West when they take on the injury-plagued New York Giants at MetLife Stadium, while there’s an NFC North grudge match to look forward to, as the Minnesota Vikings host the Detroit Lions.All three of these Sunday games provide value picks for the Week 9 NFL selections, so let’s take a closer look.GET £40 IN BONUSES ON THE NFL WITH TALKSPORT BET*NFL – Week 9 TipsBuffalo Bills to win @ 21/20San Francisco 49ers -4.5 handicap @ 7/5Detroit Lions -10.5 handicap @ 21/20Bills to bring Chiefs out in the coldStarting with the pick of the Week 9 games, Super Bowl title contenders Kansas City head to Highmark Stadium to face the Buffalo Bills.After a wobbly start with three defeats in their opening five games, the Chiefs have hit their stride, with Andy Reid’s men currently on a three-game winning streak.A 28-7 win over the Washington Commanders at Arrowhead Stadium was an impressive result but that was on Monday night and it’s a quick turnaround for the Chiefs ahead of a tough trip to a cold Highmark Stadium.Buffalo are 3-1 at home this season and Josh Allen looks capable of winning the head-to-head with Patrick Mahomes in the battle of the star quarterbacks.The Bills won 30-21 the last time they hosted the Chiefs and a similar scoreline might well be on the cards.49ers can add to Giants’ woesThe New York Giants endured a Sunday to forget last time out at the Philadelphia Eagles, in a game in which they lost star running back Cameron Skattebo to a serious ankle injury.With Skattebo’s injury set to bring his rookie season to an abrupt end, the Giants have lost another key weapon in their offence ahead of their clash with the San Francisco 49ers.The 49ers are no strangers to injuries either, but star quarterback Brock Purdy is nearing a return after his recent toe problem.Whether Purdy makes it or not, the 49ers are good value to cover the spread against a New York side who have lost their last two games against San Fran by a margin of 18 points or more.Lions to land bragging rightsWith one of the most dangerous offences in the NFL, especially at home, the Detroit Lions are likely to be in the playoff mix once again this season.Sitting in second place in the NFC North, the Lions will be determined to make home advantage at Ford Field count when they host divisional rivals Minnesota.The Vikings look set to be without experienced quarterback Carson Wentz due to a shoulder injury and the Lions, who have scored 215 points this season, can win this one comfortably, covering the handicap in the process.All odds correct at time of writing.GET £40 IN BONUSES ON THE NFL WITH TALKSPORT BET**18+ New Customers Only.
