Opening lines for NFL Week 9 are out, and the headliner is in Foxborough: Green Bay opens as an underdog against Drake Maye and the Patriots, per Yahoo Sports — a telling marker of how far New England's stock has climbed.

In the NFC East, oddsmakers aren't buying an Eagles rebound. Yahoo's read on the Eagles-Giants opener is blunt — asked whether Philadelphia can finally stop the bleeding, the answer offered was "probably not." The Jets, meanwhile, draw a brutal assignment for a reeling team: they visit a tough Kansas City Chiefs squad while trying to avoid a seventh loss in their last eight games.

The week's international showcase sends the Bengals and Falcons to Madrid, where oddsmakers expect a high-scoring affair. With a shootout projected in Spain and multiple struggling teams catching unfriendly numbers, Week 9's early board tilts toward offense — and toward more pain for the teams already buried in their seasons.
