Week 9 NFL Picks: Can the Vikings Get off the Snide vs. Bills?

Last weekend was the start of the turnaround; I can feel it. It was the most confident I d been in making my picks in a long time, and the results followed with an 8-6 week against the spread and a 10-4 record straight up. With this much ground to make up to get back to .500 on the year, it s all about just gaining ground each week. Let s try to do it again. Before we get into the Week 9 NFL picks and officially cross the midway point in the NFL season, here is a look back at how I fared last weekend: GB -3.5 (W) BUF -3.5 (W) JAX -9.5 (W) CIN -10.5 (L) DET -3.5 (W) PIT -3.5 (W) NYJ -1.5 (L) ATL +1.5 (L) DAL -6.5 (L) LAR -6.5 (W) NE -6.5 (L) KC -1.5 (L) WAS +5.5 (W) CHI +3.5 (W) Season Record ATS: 47-74Season Record Straight Up: 69-51-1 Week 8 NFL Picks Oct 4, 2026; Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA; Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O Connell looks on before the game against the Miami Dolphins at U.S. Bank Stadium.
