AI & Analysts Predict High-Scoring Week 9 in the NFL, Potential Upsets Loom
Table of Contents
Artificial intelligence and NFL analysts are forecasting a compelling Week 9 slate, highlighted by potential shootouts and closely contested divisional matchups. Several games feature significant rest advantages or key player availability concerns that coudl swing outcomes, according to insights from Copilot and expert observations. Here’s a game-by-game breakdown of predictions:
Buffalo bills 28, Cincinnati Bengals 24
AI’s take: Copilot anticipates a tight contest, acknowledging the Bengals’ strong offense but predicting Josh Allen should still have a strong showing. This may be another classic battle between the two AFC contenders that comes down to the final possession.
our take: The Bengals’ offensive line struggles could prove decisive against a relentless Bills pass rush. A strong defensive performance from Buffalo is likely to be the difference.
Seattle Seahawks 27, Washington Commanders 20
AI’s take: Copilot pointed out the Seahawks will have a significant rest advantage over the Commanders. Seattle was on bye last week while Washington played (and lost) on “Monday Night Football” against the Chiefs. That may make it difficult for the Commanders to break through against what copilot called “a top-10″ Seattle defense and a ”consistent” offensive attack led by Sam Darnold and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
Our take: If Jayden Daniels (hamstring) returns for this game, perhaps the Commanders will be able to put up more of a fight then anticipated. with Terry McLaurin (calf) out, it’s hard to imagine Marcus Mariota leading his team to an upset victory.
Dallas Cowboys 34, Arizona Cardinals 27
AI’s take: Copilot expects a “Monday Night Football” shootout to close the week. It pointed out the Cowboys have scored at least 40 points in all three of their home games this season and that Dak Prescott,ceedee Lamb and George Pickens should find a way to lead a strong attack against Arizona.
Our take: The Cowboys had a terrible matchup against the Broncos last week. This week, they are getting a much weaker Cardinals defense that has been inconsistent. Expect a bounce back from Prescott and for Dallas to earn a key win ahead of its Week 10 bye.
