The Sunday of week nine of the NFL season looks like it could be the most thrilling one of the campaign so far with a host of great teams up against each other in what could equate to some wonderful matches.
We have divisional battles and tasty match ups among the schedule on Sunday with two of them on TV for those of us in the UK as ever and plenty of ways to keep up with the other games on a good night of action.
1pm Kick Offs (6pm UK time)
The big match among the early games is the AFC North clash between the Baltimore Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers. That is the TV game for those of us who are in the UK. There are three other divisional contests in these matches with Carolina Panthers hosting NFC South rivals Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Miami Dolphins play the New York Jets in the AFC East and Minnesota Vikings up against Detroit Lions in the NFC North.
Elsewhere the Washington Redskins face the Atlanta Falcons while Cleveland Browns are the latest team to run into the Kansas City Chiefs juggernaut. The only other match in these early games see the Chicago Bears taking on the Buffalo Bills in what could be a long afternoon for the Bills.
4.05/4.25pm Kick Offs (9.05/9.25pm UK time)
There are three matches in the later section of games with the TV match looking as tasty as they come as the New Orleans Saints look to be the first team to beat the Los Angeles Rams this season. The other two games sees the Denver Broncos hosting the Houston Texans while the Seattle Seahawks face the Los Angeles Chargers.

Betting
My bets come in the TV matches on Sunday where I think the points line could be too high between the Baltimore Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers. These two have been involved in some high scoring matches this season but whenever they meet that seems to go out of the window and defences play tough. I see no different here given the need both have of winning and the rivalry that is on show in the match. Under 47.5 is the play here.
I’m expecting the offenses to dominate in the second live game as the Los Angeles Rams and the New Orleans Saints go at it. Both offenses have shown their worth already this season and neither have any issues getting stuck into shootouts. That is exactly how I expect this one to play out so I like the look of over 6.5 touchdowns in what has all the hallmarks of being a top encounter.
