"Note: Odds at time of publication, courtesy of ESPN BET Sportsbook. Bowen: Tough to bet on the Steelers right now given the lack of team speed and the poor level of play we are seeing on the defensive side of the ball from Mike Tomlin's club. Pittsburgh has given up 30-plus points in each of its last two games, and the Colts' balanced offensive structure can create matchup issues and explosive-play opportunities. I'm taking Indy to cover the spread here.Last week: Bucs -5.5 at Saints (Bucs won, 23-3)"
"Maldonado: The difference is firepower. Dallas piles up the points at home with multiple explosive options in George Pickens, CeeDee Lamb and Jake Ferguson. The Cowboys defense, while leaky, still creates pressure and turnovers to disrupt. Arizona is scrappy, and Kyler Murray can produce when kept clean, but the Cardinals are bottom 10 in yards per play; they're more steady"
Week 9 NFL slate opens with the Baltimore Ravens, with Lamar Jackson hopeful to play, visiting the Miami Dolphins on Thursday Night Football. Early Sunday features the Detroit Lions as heavy favorites over the Minnesota Vikings and the Indianapolis Colts visiting Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Kansas City Chiefs face the Buffalo Bills in a late afternoon matchup with the Bills underdogs at home. Monday Night Football pits the Dallas Cowboys against the Arizona Cardinals in Arlington. Betting notes include Steelers' recent defensive lapses, Colts' balanced offense creating matchup problems, and Cowboys' potent home offense versus Cardinals' low yards-per-play.
