NFL Week 9 best bets: Two picks based on betting systems hitting at more than 63% include Texans vs. Chargers
SportsLine's Jeff Hochman has identified two selections for the NFL Week 9 schedule based on proven betting systems


After their Week 8 bye, the Houston Texans (2-5) head west as 5-point road favorites to face a Los Angeles Chargers team that is winless at 0-7, and also 0-7 against the spread.
This non-divisional conference matchup sets off a post-bye travel trend that has paid out more than 63% of the time ATS since 2019. The game is one of two I'm attacking in Week 9. The other game features a system with an even better win rate of 65.8% ATS. Both systems have produced a selection rated on a confidence scale ranging from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest).
I've also included my model's score projection, a predictive metric that is entirely independent from the system. When both the system and my model align, I view it as a stronger selection.
(Below, Jeff Hochman, who is up $1,133 on his last 172 NFL picks, shares his two favorite systems plays for Week 9.)
