The Bears and Cardinals couldn't have had more polar finishes to their games last week, as Chicago lost on last-second Hail Mary to Washington, while Arizona won on a walk-off field goal versus Miami. Riding different waves of emotion, Bears vs. Cardinals takes place on the Week 9 NFL schedule, with the Cardinals two-point home favorites. That is the slimmest of the Week 9 NFL spreads, per the latest Week 9 NFL odds, while the largest is Ravens vs. Broncos (+9.5, 46.5). These teams have the same 5-3 straight-up records, but the Vegas lines tab Baltimore as the superior squad even though Denver has won and covered in five of its last six games.
That game is one of five that has NFL spreads of at least a touchdown, while Saints vs. Panthers (+7, 43.5) is the only of those five in which the road team is favored. The Saints' six-game losing streak is the longest active in the league, so that Week 9 NFL spread says lots about the destitute Panthers, who lost by 37 to New Orleans in the season-opener.
