The excitement should start early Sunday in NFL Week 9 when the Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins face off in Frankfurt, Germany. The 9:30 a.m. ET matchup will pit quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce of Kansas City against Tua Tagovailoa and Miami's stable of playmakers. The Chiefs have the NFL's second-best pass defense, so should you back or fade Tagovailoa, with his over/under for passing yards set at 272.5 in the NFL prop bets? Mahomes' over/under is 283.5 passing yards, while Kelce's receiving total is 77.5 in the NFL player props.

There are 12 games on the NFL Week 9 Sunday schedule, and every one offers plenty of NFL prop picks. Before you lock in any Week 8 NFL prop bets on sites like PrizePicks, you need to check out the top NFL picks and predictions from SportsLine NFL props expert Alex Selesnick.

Top 2023 Week 9 NFL prop picks

One play PropStarz is backing on his NFL Week 9 props is Bills quarterback Josh Allen over 26.5 rushing yards. The Bills' star is well-known for his ability to get out of trouble when he is under duress, and the Bengals can bring pressure. In last season's playoff loss to the Bengals, Allen was pressured on 45% of his dropbacks and rushed for 26 yards. The Bengals are allowing 32 more rushing yards per game than they did in 2022.

Cincinnati ranks 28th in the NFL against the run, giving up 139 per game on the ground. Allen averages 5.3 yards per carry to lead the Bills and comes off a game in which he rushed for 41 yards. With Trey Hendrickson (eight sacks) expected to be breathing down Allen's neck, PropStarz expects the QB to run for it enough to cash this prop. You can see all of PropStarz's Week 8 NFL prop bets at SportsLine.
