Here are some notable trends to watch for in Week 9.
Ravens (-2.5, 47) @ Colts, 1 p.m. ET
Having already lost key starters to injured reserve or the reserve/COVID-19 list, the Ravens could be in a tough spot against the Colts after last week’s loss to the Steelers. Baltimore has lost four straight against the spread after facing its bitter rival, and it’s 0-5-2 ATS in its last seven games following a defeat.
Seahawks (-2.5, 55) @ Bills, 1 p.m.
The Bills have now lost four straight ATS, and things won’t get any easier this week against a Seahawks team riding a 7-1-1 ATS run as road chalk since the start of 2019. Seattle has also covered five straight as a favorite when giving fewer than three points.
Dolphins @ Cardinals (-4.5, 48), 4:25 p.m.
After upsetting the Rams as live underdogs a week ago, the Dolphins are in another solid spot here. Miami is 7-3 ATS in its last 10 as a road ‘dog and 9-3 ATS in its last 12 games overall. The Cardinals, meanwhile, are 10-17 ATS as favorites dating back to late 2015.
Steelers (-13.5, 42) @ Cowboys, 4:25 p.m.
When any team is favored by this many points, it’s worth paying attention. Double-digit favorites are 85-54-5 ATS (61.2%) since the start of 2015, including a 38-22-4 ATS (63.3%) mark when favored by at least 13 points. The Steelers are 5-1 ATS as favorites this year, while the Cowboys are 0-4 ATS as underdogs and 0-8 ATS overall in 2020.
