NFL Week 9 brings some monster matchups including Tyreek Hill and Miami heading to Germany to face his former team in Kansas City.
It's debatable whether Dolphins-Chiefs should get top billing because the Cowboys and Eagles will also do battle in Philadelphia. The Bills and Bengals then clash on Sunday Night Football.
Let's take a look at NFL Week 9 look-ahead lines for the biggest matchups as the 2023 regular season officially hits the halfway mark.
Look-ahead lines for Week 9 of the 2023 NFL season
Look-ahead lines are typically offered on the Tuesday before that following week's slate of games. Favorites can often be found earlier at more advantageous odds. The public loves to bet on favorites, who'll be priced accordingly the closer you get to game day.
Here are NFL Week 9 look-ahead lines for the biggest games on the slate.

Dolphins (5-2 SU, 5-2 ATS) vs. Chiefs (6-1 SU, 5-2 ATS)
Think there'll be any offense in this game?
Tyreek Hill's absence hasn't hindered QB Patrick Mahomes, as Kansas City's signal caller has connected with nine different players on passing TDs this year. There isn't a big-name player among the Chiefs wide receivers, but Rashee Rice may emerge as one in the future. Rice added another TD in last week's 31-17 win over the Chargers, as one of four different Chiefs to record a TD reception in that game.
Miami gets a lot of pub for being the NFL's fastest team, but the Dolphins have yet to prove they can go on the road and beat the league's upper echelon teams. They got smacked in Buffalo, 48-20, and drilled in Philadelphia, 31-17. Maybe a neutral field will help the cause.
Cowboys (4-2 SU, 4-2 ATS) vs. Eagles (6-1 SU, 4-2-1 ATS)
The Eagles have been the NFL's last undefeated team each of the last two seasons. Philadelphia rebounded nicely from its first loss to the Jets by winning and covering in last week's 31-17 home win against the Dolphins.
The Cowboys and Eagles split the season series last year with both teams winning at home. Dallas would love to taste victory on the road here with potential walkover games in Week 10 and 11 versus the Giants and Panthers, respectively. That could create some serious momentum heading into the Thanksgiving matchup against the Commanders.
The Cowboys struggled on the road before beating the Chargers in their last game on Monday Night Football, 20-17. Dallas dropped a 28-16 decision as a double-digit favorite in Arizona, and then got pasted, 42-10, in San Francisco.
The Eagles are 3-0 SU at Lincoln Financial Field this season, but just 1-1-1 ATS. This should be another classic NFL East rivalry game in Philly.
Bills (4-3 SU, 3-4 ATS) vs. Bengals (3-3 SU, 2-3-1 ATS)
Buffalo needs no wake-up call after barely getting by the Giants and losing to the Patriots in successive weeks. This will be a good test on the road in Cincinnati for Sunday Night Football.
Can Joe Burrow & Co. get back to their explosive ways on offense? Cincy averages just 16.7 points per game this season (28th in NFL) compared to 25.7 last year.
With the exception of one big game against Arizona, WR Ja'Marr Chase has been largely absent. All three of Chase's TD catches on the season came in the 34-20 win over the Cardinals, as did a big chunk of his receiving yards (192 of 556).
RB Joe Mixon has also been a veritable no-show with only one rushing TD this year and less than four yards per carry. This week, the Bengals will be coming off their bye and hoping Burrow is fully recovered from the calf injury that contributed to the team's slow start.
