A pair of two-win teams will link up when the Jacksonville Jaguars host the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Hopes had been high for the Jaguars in their first year under new head coach Doug Pederson. Pederson brought a Super Bowl pedigree to a franchise that had been saddled with controversy last year. Still, the Jaguars are 2-6. The Raiders, meanwhile, are 2-5 and in last place in the tough AFC West. A brutal schedule has not been kind to Las Vegas, and a middling offense and below-average defense hasn't helped matters either. The Raiders are 1.5-point favorites in the Week 9 NFL odds at Caesars Sportsbook, one of the slimmest NFL spreads of the week. Which Week 9 NFL lines should you target with your Week 9 NFL bets? Before you make any Week 9 NFL picks or NFL parlays, be sure to see the NFL predictions and betting advice from SportsLine's proven computer model.

Top Week 9 NFL picks
After simulating every game 10,000 times, the model is high on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-3) to cover against the Los Angeles Rams. The two most recent winners of the Super Bowl, the Buccaneers and Rams are both hungry for a win.
Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady will be particularly motivated. He currently sits at two games under .500 for the first time in his entire career, a hole he is undoubtedly eager to crawl out of. Brady is also 164 yards shy of reaching 10,000 career passing yards. Already the NFL's all-time passing leader, the 10,000-yard threshold would be a finishing touch to his Hall-of-Fame career. Top Tampa Bay receiver Mike Evans, who has been nursing an ankle injury, appears to be on track to play on Sunday and help Brady lead a winning effort. That is one reason the Buccaneers are covering the spread in over 50% of simulations. See which other NFL parlay picks to make here.
