Ala Hann Sport picks

NFL odds get more and more action each day at sportsbooks around the world with baseball finished and the football playoff races heating up. Here are a few NFL picks to consider for Week 9.

Arizona Cardinals @ Chicago Bears (-3)

Sunday, November 8, 1:00 p.m. ET

Careful not to trust the home team too much here. Chicago’s O-line isn’t playing too well right now; it had a tough time protecting Jay Cutler against the Browns of all teams. The Cardinals are fresh off an embarrassing home loss to Carolina but are quietly 3-0 on the road this season. Kurt Warner and Larry Fitzgerald can beat a suspect Bears secondary and the Cards overall will duplicate their Week 7 effort versus the Giants.

Sportsbook pick: Cardinals +3

Carolina Panthers @ New Orleans Saints (-13)

Sunday, November 8, 1:00 p.m. ET

Usually we can trust the high-octane Saints to cover virtually every spread but I’m not totally sold on them this week. Sedrick Ellis’ injury left a big hole up the middle in New Orleans’ run defense last week and Michael Turner exploited it for the Falcons in the Monday nighter. Even if the Saints contain DeAngelo Williams, bullish Jonathan Stewart may gouge them up the middle. The Panthers shocked the Cardinals with a dominant win last week; maybe they’ll catch the Saints looking past them and at least cover the spread.

Sportsbook pick: Panthers +13

San Diego Chargers @ New York Giants (-4.5)

Sunday, November 8, 4:15 p.m. ET

It’s time for the Giants to win decisively lest we get seriously worried about them in online betting circles. New York looked as dominant as any team over the first few weeks but their defensive injuries, especially in the secondary, are taking their toll. The Chargers are a nice matchup for the Giants, however. They struggle mightily to stop the run, allowing 130-plus rushing yards per game, so New York should romp if it hands the ball to Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw 35-40 times.

Sportsbook pick: Giants -4.5
