NFL Week 9 early predictions, odds, picks: Broncos vs. Panthers, Cowboys vs. Colts

Erich Richter of the New York Post shares early betting predictions for NFL Week 9, highlighting early value on opening lines for two matchups. Richter recommends backing the Denver Broncos at -2.5 against the Carolina Panthers and taking the Dallas Cowboys at -5.5 against the Indianapolis Colts.

The writer argues that Denver's defense, ranked eighth in DVOA, will overwhelm Bryce Young and a struggling Carolina offense. For the second matchup, Richter highlights potential trade movement surrounding Indianapolis running back Jonathan Taylor and notes the Colts allow 7.4 yards per pass attempt.
