All right, time for our weekly dive into an Underdog 10x pick, and because we love life, we are once again going — as always — with all “highers.”

NFL Week 9 Main Slate Parlay – 10X Value Picks

The Cleveland Browns look like a different team last week with Jameis Winston at quarterback, and that’s because … they’re a different team with Jameis Winston at quarterback. Namely, a team that can actually compete.

This week, they are home against the Los Angeles Chargers, a team that is going to give Winston a few more fits than the Ravens were able to. In fact, no team has allowed fewer receptions to wide receivers on the year than the Chargers, with 60.

But they’ve given up 44 receptions to tight ends, which is sixth-worst in the league, and so with that in mind, let’s go David Njoku higher than 51.5 receiving yards. Njoku has passed that number the last two weeks, and should exceed it again this week.

Next, let’s go to Carolina, where we’re going to take Chris Olave to go higher than 64.5 receiving yards. Put simply, he’s going to get fed. He’s healthy, Rashid Shaheed is done for the year, there’s really no real competition for targets. And, of course, he’s facing a Panthers secondary that is objectively terrible. Olave might cruise by this number in the first quarter. Even Courtland Sutton got to 100 yards against the Panthers.

For our third leg, let’s head to Buffalo and take De’Von Achane higher than 32.5 receiving yards. In the three games he’s played with Tua Tagovailoa this year, his reception yardage has been 76, 69, and 50, with the 69 coming against these same Bills. Achane is effectively the team’s third wide receiver. (Maybe even second, sorry Mr. Waddle). We like Achane to smash through this number.

Finally, off to Cincy, where we’re taking the higher on Jakobi Meyers receiving yardage at 50.5.  He’s gone over this number four out six games, missed one by a yard. The Bengals pass defense isn’t anything so scary, and Meyers should get all the work he can handle.

NFL Week 9 Picks

David Njoku higher than 51.5 receiving yards

Chris Olave higher than 64.5 receiving yards

De’Von Achane higher than 32.5 receiving yards

Jakobi Meyers higher than 50.5 receiving yards

10x at Underdog

As a reminder, this is a longer-shot combo of picks that carries more risk but a higher return if all hit. Good luck with all of your NFL plays in Week 9!
