NFL Week 9 Picks From the MMQB Staff: Chiefs Face Dolphins in Germany
It’s Week 9! Several teams will look a little different this week, after both the trade deadline and some injuries to quarterbacks last week. The Vikings are underdogs in Atlanta after losing Kirk Cousins to a torn Achilles. And the Rams are underdogs in Green Bay, with Matthew Stafford dealing with a thumb injury. The Raiders will host the Giants with a new quarterback and a new coach, after Josh McDaniels was fired and Jimmy Garoppolo was benched. All three teams were still picked by at least one of our staffers.
In the three biggest games of the week, the high-flying Dolphins will take on the defending-champion Chiefs in Germany, the Bengals will host the Bills on Sunday Night Football, and our crew is unanimous in picking the Eagles to beat the Cowboys and grow their lead in the NFC East.
