NFL Week 9 picks and predictions
Lorenzo Reyes is back with his best bets for NFL Week 9 games.
Lorenzo’s Locks
NFL fans won’t be lucky enough to experience another bye week hiatus in Week 9, but the league’s Sunday slate still looks loaded.
The first Sunday of November will feature 13 games, meaning 26 of the NFL’s 32 teams will play that day. The schedule includes an anticipated divisional matchup between the Lions and Packers, a great offense vs. defense matchup in the Ravens-Broncos game, and a nightcap between two wild-card contenders, the Vikings and Colts.
These matchups will surely excite NFL fans, but we’re also at the point in the season where injuries are becoming extremely important for each opponent. Notably, Jordan Love is questionable to play against the Lions, while several other stars have landed on the injury report for Week 9.
USA TODAY Sports will provide live updates on the latest actives and inactive players heading into NFL’s Week 9, 1 p.m. ET slate of games on Sunday:
