NFL Week 9 betting lines: Bears, Colts on opposite ends of early respect

NFL Week 9 betting lines: Bears, Colts on opposite ends of early respect

Early betting action for Week 9 moved the lines toward the Colts and against the Bears. Chicago is a 1-point road favorite at the Steelers, while Chicago is a 5-point dog in Philadelphia.

Early betting action for Week 9 moved the lines toward the Colts and against the Bears. Indy is a 1-point road favorite against the Steelers, while Chicago is a 5-point road dog in Philadelphia as it looks to avenge last season's [wild-card loss](https://www.betchicago.com/cody-parkey-bears-eagles-missed-kicks-playoffs), according to the betting market’s early consensus lines. Coming off an Adam Vinatieri 51-yard field goal with 22 seconds remaining for a narrow 15-13 win over the Broncos, the Colts-Steelers game opened pick ‘em Sunday afternoon, but early wagering moved the line in favor of the Colts (5-2 straight up, 4-2-1 against the spread) by 1 point. The Colts, co-favorites with the Texans to win the AFC South, have laid points on the road just six times since the start of the 2015 season, going 4-2 SU and 3-3 ATS. Should the spread hold, next Sunday's contest in Pittsburgh will be the first time this season the Colts have been favored on the road. __MORE:__ [Week 8 NFL betting recap](https://www.betchicago.com/bears-colts-week-8-nfl-betting-recap) The Bears-Eagles point spread, meanwhile, has bounced between Philadelphia -4.5 and -5 during the first two days of wagering, moving off the key number of Philly -3 on last week's advanced lines at the Westgate SuperBook. With a 17-16 loss to the Chargers as 3.5-point home favorites, the Bears dropped to 3-4 SU and 2-5 ATS on Sunday, and their latest inept offensive performance has resulted in deeper disrespect from the betting market. While Bears fans want to see quarterback Mitch Trubisky benched, he faces a positive matchup with a leaky Eagles secondary in Week 9. Philadelphia (4-4 SU, 3-5 ATS) is coming off an impressive [31-13 road win](https://www.buffalobills.com/news/eagles-run-away-from-the-bills-in-31-13-win-game-recap) as a 1-point underdog against the Bills in which it out-rushed Buffalo 218-98. The Eagles boast one of the best run defenses in the league, but they also held Bills QB Josh Allen to just 16-of-34 passing for 169 yards. Trubisky, who ranks [slightly higher](http://www.espn.com/nfl/qbr) than Allen in adjusted QBR, must have a better day passing if Chicago is to avenge last season's "double-doink." Elsewhere on the NFL's Week 9 slate, the league's two remaining undefeated teams -- 49ers (-8 at Cardinals) and Patriots (-3.5 at Ravens) -- are road chalk, but the AFC favorites have seen the line move against them in early trading. The look-ahead line was adjusted from New England -6.5 to -4.5 last week, and when the game re-opened after Sunday's action, the number fell from 5 to 3.5 on some oddsboards. While the Patriots' defense continues to lead the NFL in nearly every metric, it allowed 159 rushing yards [to the Browns](https://www.espn.com/nfl/matchup?gameId=401127895). The Patriots also played with backups at center, left tackle and right guard on Sunday and struggled to protect Tom Brady, who completed just 55.6% of his passes. New England's offensive issues [have been masked](https://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/patriots/2019/10/27/forget-about-receivers-tight-ends-patriots-need-offensive-linemen-and-kicker/4bmJWwxf6GyhOwD6Yzj5uK/story.html) by its dominant defense, and early bettors believe the time is now to bet against Brady and Bill Belichick, who are 6-2 ATS, tied with the Packers, Rams and Saints as the league's most profitable teams. ## NFL Week 9 point spreads and totals Consensus lines listed __Thursday, Oct. 31__ 49ers (-8, 44) at Cardinals __Sunday, Nov. 3__ Texans (-2, 47) vs. Jaguars in London Redskins at Bills (-10, 37) Titans at Panthers (-3.5, 41) Bears at Eagles (-5, 44) Vikings at Chiefs (OFF) Jets (-4.5, 41.5) at Dolphins Colts (-1, 43) at Steelers Lions at Raiders (-2, 51.5) Buccaneers at Seahawks (-6.5, 53) Browns at Broncos (-1.5, 43) Packers (-3, 46) at Chargers Patriots (-3.5, 45) at Ravens __Monday, Nov. 4__ Cowboys (-7.5, 48) at Giants __Bye week:__ Falcons, Bengals, Rams, Saints __Check out our new site:__ [BetIndiana News](http://betindiananews.com/)
