Here are our analysts' favorite bets for Week 9.

Trevor Sikkema (4-4)

QB Drake Maye, New England Patriots: Over 5.5 rush attempts (-145 BetMGM)

Maye has cleared this number in three straight weeks. Given how long he tends to hold the ball while waiting for plays to develop, taking off and running has become a regular part of his game. It’s a trend worth continuing to back, given his playing style.

Dalton Wasserman (5-3)

QB Jaxson Dart, New York Giants: Under 39.5 rushing yards (-118 BetMGM)

Dart has rushed for just 28 yards combined over his past two games after totaling 167 in the previous three. The 49ers haven’t allowed more than 37 rushing yards to a quarterback in any game this season. With Cam Skattebo sidelined, San Francisco’s zone-heavy defense and athletic second-level defenders should be able to key in on Dart and limit his scrambling opportunities.

Ben Linsey (6-2)

RB Kareem Hunt, Kansas City Chiefs: Anytime TD (+120 DraftKings)

Hunt has a defined role as Kansas City’s short-yardage back, and he’s thrived in it. He’s converted 20 of his 22 carries this season when needing two or fewer yards and is the only Chiefs running back to record a rushing attempt inside the 5-yard line.

With the Chiefs’ offense rolling — they rank first in offensive success rate since Week 4 — and a high-scoring game expected (total of 52.5), Hunt should have multiple opportunities to find the end zone as Kansas City frequently reaches scoring range.

Mason Cameron (1-6-1)

RB Bijan Robinson, Atlanta Falcons: Over 4.5 receptions (+105 Fanatics)

With Michael Penix Jr. back in the lineup, Bijan Robinson should see a noticeable boost in his effectiveness as a pass-catcher. The dynamic back has been one of the league’s most consistent receiving threats out of the backfield, ranking third among running backs in targets per game through Week 8. He’s recorded five or more receptions in four of his six games with Penix this season.

Robinson is likely to see heavy volume again this week against a Patriots defense that has allowed the most receptions (45) to running backs in the NFL.

Max Chadwick (3-4-1)

RB Aaron Jones, Minnesota Vikings: Under 8.5 rushing attempts (-130 BetMGM)

Jones has gone under this total in every game this season and is still working his way back after missing four contests with a hamstring injury. Expect the Vikings to continue deploying a committee backfield featuring Jones and Jordan Mason. And given that Minnesota enters as a 9.5-point underdog to the Lions, this could be a game where J.J. McCarthy is forced to throw more than usual in his first start since Week 2.

Gordon McGuinness (1-6-1)

RB Zach Charbonnet, Seattle Seahawks: Under 40.5 rushing yards (+100 Fanatics)

Charbonnet has gone under this total in all but two games this season, and with a 2.8 yards-per-carry average through six games, he’d likely need around 15 carries to eclipse 40.5 rushing yards. The Commanders rank seventh in the NFL in PFF run-defense grade (73.1), while the Seahawks sit 14th in run-blocking grade (64.4).
