While the Ravens may have been favored by 9.5, that didn’t stop bettors from plunking down plenty of cash on Baltimore over the lowly Browns.

Cleveland’s 29-24 win meant a nice score for sportsbooks, according to reports, as they faced an unusual risk after bettors used the game in straight bets, parlays, and moneyline wager.

For oddsmakers, the Browns beating the Ravens meant big bucks.

“Cleveland outright creates a nearly eight-figure swing nationwide,” Fox Sports contributor Patrick Everson noted on X.

That’s what makes picking NFL games so challenging – any time can really rise up on any week. This week, there aren’t any real overwhelming matchups, but a few games stand out.

The Lions-Packers may be the best of those and sees two six-win teams in a key NFC North Showdown.

The Broncos at Ravens also both have 5-3 records and square off this week. The Cardinals surprisingly lead the NFC West at 4-4 and battle the 4-3 Bears.

Other games to keep an eye on include the Colts-Vikings and Buccaneers-Chiefs.

Matchups to Watch

The Lions (6-1) continue simply beating teams up and that continued last week with a 52-14 trouncing of the Titans.

Detroit boasts one of the best offenses in the league and the defense is only allowing an average of 19 points a game.

Can the Packers slow them down? Green Bay has a decent defense, but this is probably the biggest test the team has seen so far this year. Quarterback Jordan Love was also injured in Week 8 and is day-to-day.

Here’s a look at a few other key matchups this week.

  • Broncos at Ravens – Baltimore will be looking to bounce back from an embarrassing loss to the Browns. Jameis Winston passed for more than 340 yards and three TDS against the Ravens, so the Broncos may try and test that passing defense.
  • Cardinals at Bears – The Cardinals (4-4) have been a real surprise with some nice wins over the Charger, Rams, and 49ers, but has big losses to the Packers and Commanders. The Bears have been a bit up and down, but are looking for a win to stay in the playoff race.
  • Colts at Vikings – Minnesota saw the team’s first loss of the season in Week 8 and will be looking to get back in the win column. The Colts (4-4) have been game in most matchups this season with three of those losses coming by just a field goal.
  • Buccaneers at Chiefs – The Chiefs remain unbeaten at 7-0 and just continue finding ways to win. The Buccaneers (4-4) have one of the best offenses in the league, but one of the worst defenses.

Interesting Prop Bets

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow came up one touchdown short of topping the 1.5 TD passes last week.

This week, the Cowboys have the 31st-ranked rushing defense in the country and face a tough test against the Falcons.

Look for Bijan Robinson to top 80 yards on the ground at +100.

Picks for the People

Our winning ways continued last week with a solid 5-3 record and 15-6 over the last three weeks. That Browns upset of the Ravens was one of those losses, unfortunately.

Here’s a look at a few picks to watch for this week.

  • Texans at Jets – The Jets (2-6 against the spread) are really struggling and the Texans have a pretty tough defense. C.J. Stroud remains solid for Houston with over 1,900 passing yards with 11 TDs and only four interceptions. The Texans will cover that 1.5 and the over 42.5 total also looks nice.
  • Chargers at Browns – Cleveland may have won in Week 8, but tha offensive production may be an anomaly. Look for the Chargers to win by at least a field goal to cover the 1.5. The Browns are just 3-5 against the spread this season.
  • Dolphins at Bills – The Dolphins are injury-ravaged and the Bills have been punishing opponents of late. The Buffalo defense may not be the best, but is keeping opponents out of the end zone and is sixth in average points allowed per game at just 18.3. Look for the Bills to top the 6.5.
  • Lions at Packers – The Lions are 6-1 against the spread this week and should continue that this week and cover the 3.5. Lions coach Dan Campbel loves scoring lots of points, and that continues paying off for bettors. The squad is solid on both sides of the ball and simply outclasses the Packers here. Look for the over 48.5 to hit as well.
  • Colts at Vikings – Minnesota should get back to winning, but the Colts are 7-1 against the spread and keep this one within the 5.5.
