NFL Week 9 gambling preview: Bet on Tyler Warren, plus other picks

Time sure does fly by. We have already reached the ninth Sunday of the 2026 NFL regular season. It’s time to sit back, relax, and enjoy some football. Before the Sunday festivities kick off, here are our Week 9 gambling picks.

2026 Record: 6-7-1

Burrow has recorded 10 or more rushing yards in five of Cincinnati’s seven games this season. In the Bengals’ last three games, the signal-caller has recorded at least one run of nine yards or more in each contest. Look for Burrow to use his legs on Sunday and surpass 10 rushing yards again.

After a slow start to the season, Lions wideout Jameson Williams has come into his own the past few weeks. In Detroit’s last four games, Williams has recorded 17 receptions for 310 yards with an exceptional 18.2 Y/R. This week, the speedy wideout faces a Dolphins defense that ranks last in the league in Dropback EPA (0.288) and Dropback SR (53.7%). Williams has a great chance to continue his upward trajectory on Sunday.

Another player rounding into form has been Bears tight end Colston Loveland. The 22-year-old has recorded at least 60 receiving yards in each of Chicago’s last three games and seven or more targets in each matchup. The Bears have made a concerted effort to get Loveland more involved in the offense, and it’s been working well. Against a Buccaneers defense that likes to send pressure, look for Loveland to be targeted early and often on Sunday night.

For the first time this season, I’m going against Dallas in this pick. The Cowboys’ defense has been the ultimate get-right matchup for opposing teams this season. I don’t see a way that trend will not continue this week. If the Colts have success through the air, Tyler Warren will be a big reason why. The tight end has had a disappointing start to his second season, but he’ll bounce back in a big way on Sunday against this awful defense.

2026 Parlay Record: 1-4
