Colin Cowherd Week 9 2025 Blazing 5

- 49ers -2.5 at Giants
- Bears -2.5 at Bengals
- Chiefs vs Bills Over 52.5
- Commanders +3.5 vs Seahawks
- Cowboys -2.5 vs Cardinals
49ers -2.5 at Giants
San Francisco’s passing game is a bad matchup for a Giants secondary that’s been leaky, and the Niners are 2-0 after losses this season. With New York missing key playmakers and piling up penalties, a buttoned-up Niners team in a bad mood should control the script. Projection 28-23 Niners.
Bears -2.5 at Bengals
Chicago’s offense leads the league in explosive plays since Week 4, while Cincinnati’s defense has cratered in most metrics. Even without turnover luck last week, the Bears moved it and should again against a unit that doesn’t stop the run or deep shots consistently. Projection 33-27 Bears.
Chiefs vs Bills Over 52.5
Clean weather plus two top offensive lines equals time for Mahomes and Allen to hunt. These matchups usually turn into execution contests in the red zone with very few true stops. Kansas City probably edges it, but the safer angle is points. Target range 28-27 or higher.
Commanders +3.5 vs Seahawks
Washington’s red zone efficiency travels and getting healthier helps. Seattle’s offense has drifted into sloppy stretches and the protection has been inconsistent. Taking the home dog over the field goal in what profiles as a one-score game. Projection 28-27 Commanders.
Cowboys -2.5 vs Cardinals
Dallas has been a different animal at home with a top scoring rate and minimal giveaways in Arlington. Arizona’s defense has sprung leaks and the injuries keep stacking. Dak’s efficiency plus a steady run game should be enough to separate late. Projection 28-24 Cowboys.
