Commanders vs. Patriots prediction, odds, spread, injuries, trends for NFL Week 9
A full betting preview for NFL Week 9 action between the Commanders and Patriots
The New England Patriots weren't able to pull off a second straight upset against an AFC opponent and as a result have fallen to 2-6 on the season with little hope of making the playoffs.
Luckily, the Pats get to face a Washington Commanders team in Week 9 that just traded away two of their best defensive players, Montez Sweat and Chase Young. Can New England get the job done at home?

Commanders vs. Patriots prediction and pick
With the Commanders trading away two of their best defensive players, the only bet to make in this game is the OVER.
Washington's defense was already one of the worst in the NFL, ranking 29th in opponent yards per play, giving up 5.7 yards per snap. The biggest strength of that unit was their pass rush, but with Sweat in Chicago and Young in San Francisco, they aren't going to be able to find any way to pressure Mac Jones.
With that being said, the Commanders' offense has some weapons that New England should be wary of. Jahan Dotson, Curtis Samuel, and Terry McLaurin are one of the best wide receiver trios in the NFL.
Don't be surprised if both offenses are able to move the ball up and down the field, so with the total set at a low mark of 40, the move is to bet the OVER and root for points.
