NFL Week 9 2026 Predictions & Picks
Updated · market prices
Quick Answer
As of October 31, 2026, our Week 9 calls: the model sides with the market favorite in all 15 called games straight up. The model disagrees with the Kalshi price on 6 of 15 games; the widest gap is Patriots at 59% to win versus Kalshi's 55¢. Week 9 picks straight up: Ravens over Jaguars, Bengals over Falcons, Broncos over Panthers, Cowboys over Colts, Chiefs over Jets, Lions over Dolphins, Saints over Browns, Giants over Eagles, Rams over Commanders, Texans over Chargers, 49ers over Raiders, Patriots over Packers, Seahawks over Cardinals, Bears over Buccaneers, Bills over Vikings.
Next widest: Ravens at 60% to win versus Kalshi's 57¢; Bills at 59% to win versus Kalshi's 56¢.
Every game below carries the published win probability, the Kalshi price, and the gap between them — plus the straight-up winner and the model's lean.
Week 9 straight-up picks
Kalshi has priced 15 of these 15 games and our published probability is anchored to the market on each, so the straight-up pick matches the market favorite by construction — that agreement is the method, not a finding. Widest disagreement this week: our own ratings line sits 4.0 points closer to the Jets than the market's, a read we grade separately and never publish as an edge.

Winner = the side with the higher published win probability. Once Kalshi prices a game that probability is market-anchored — it is the market’s number, which is why the Model and Kalshi columns sit within a point of each other and why no upset is labelled. Before a market opens it is the model’s own read. The model’s separate opinion is the lean, in points, graded on its own and never published as an edge. Kalshi = the mid price of the winner’s contract, in cents. A straight-up call is not the play — the play on each game is the edge side on its matchup page.

Week 9 QB & injury watch
Where a quarterback's status moves our number. An unconfirmed starter gets two lines that collapse to one when the team names him; an unvetted room gets no line until it is.
QB out, pricedWatching both quarterback rooms in Giants at Eagles because both teams are without their usual starter (J.J. McCarthy and Tanner McKee start), and the QB-out terms net 4.3 points toward the Giants in our line; if either usual starter is cleared, our line moves back toward the Eagles. Giants at Eagles →

NFL Week 9 predictions — frequently asked
Who does the model pick in NFL Week 9 2026?
The fair value (books) disagrees with the Kalshi price by 2 points net of the book's spread on 6 of 15 Week 9 games. The biggest gap is Packers at Patriots, where the pick is the Patriots at a 59% win probability against a Kalshi price of 55¢. Every game's pick, line and edge is in the board above.
How are these NFL Week 9 predictions made?
Every game runs through DAEPA (Defense-Adjusted Expected Points Added), the play-by-play engine behind our PWR power ratings. It produces a neutral-field margin and a home win probability for each matchup, then the pick is wherever that probability and the Kalshi price disagree. Backtested on 3,266 games from 2013 to 2024, DAEPA picks the straight-up winner 59.6% of the time.
What does the edge on each game mean?
Edge is the published win probability — the fair value (books) once a game is priced — minus the Kalshi price for the same side, in percentage points. A +8pp edge means that number has a team at 62% while the market prices its contract at 54¢. We only call a pick when the gap clears 2 points net of the book's spread; anything smaller sits inside the noise of both numbers, so the row shows no edge.
Who will win each NFL Week 9 game?
The model's straight-up winner in each of the 15 Week 9 games, with its win probability. Ravens over Jaguars (60%); Bengals over Falcons (60%); Broncos over Panthers (59%); Cowboys over Colts (65%); Chiefs over Jets (80%); Lions over Dolphins (75%); Saints over Browns (59%); Giants over Eagles (55%); Rams over Commanders (69%); Texans over Chargers (62%); 49ers over Raiders (82%); Patriots over Packers (59%); Seahawks over Cardinals (84%); Bears over Buccaneers (70%); Bills over Vikings (59%). The winner is the side with the higher published win probability (the fair value (books) once a game is priced); an upset is a winner priced under 50¢ on Kalshi. The straight-up winner and the play are different calls — the play is the side where that number and the price disagree by 2 points net of the book's spread.
What are the NFL Week 9 picks straight up?
Week 9 picks straight up: Ravens over Jaguars, Bengals over Falcons, Broncos over Panthers, Cowboys over Colts, Chiefs over Jets, Lions over Dolphins, Saints over Browns, Giants over Eagles, Rams over Commanders, Texans over Chargers, 49ers over Raiders, Patriots over Packers, Seahawks over Cardinals, Bears over Buccaneers, Bills over Vikings. Each pick is the side with the higher published win probability (the fair value (books) once a game is priced) — the model's straight-up call, not a position. The play on each game is the side where that number and the Kalshi price disagree by 2 points net of the book's spread, on its matchup page.
How often are the Week 9 picks updated?
Daily through kickoff. Kalshi prices are re-captured and the model reruns against them, so the Updated stamp under the title is the last time a number on this page actually moved; it is never a render clock. Power ratings refresh weekly once games are played.
Why read this pick instead of a preview from a big sports outlet?
Two things a bigger outlet does not do. The number is posted before kickoff against the live Kalshi price, so you can see where the model and the market disagree while it still matters. And the page keeps the call after the game — result, hit or miss, closing-line value — so the record is public. Every graded call is at predictionmarketspicks.com/track-record.
Win probabilities are the market-anchored fair value (books) once a game is priced; the model’s own line is the lean. Prediction markets carry risk; contracts can settle at $0. Informational only — trade responsibly.
