For the rest of the Week 9 slate, divisional rivals and matchups between playoff contenders will highlight Sunday's games. Here are the must-see games of the weekend, as well as the betting odds from ESPN BET.

Spread: -10 BAL

O/U: 46.5

ML: +340 DEN, -450 BAL

Both teams come into this hoping to keep up with the leaders of their respective divisions. A Wild Card spot could be on the line when the Denver Broncos take on the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens are heavy favorites, but that doesn't mean much. Baltimore did lose to the Cleveland Browns last week.


Los Angeles Rams vs. Seattle Seahawks

The NFC West has been more like the Wild West this season. Any of the four division members have a chance at the crown. This is why the game between the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks will be a can't miss matchup.


Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Packers
