Chicago Bears at Cincinnati Bengals – NFL Week 9 Predictions According to Madden 26

The Bears manage to hold off the Bengals to keep their playoff hopes alive.

Joe Flacco and the Bengals' offense struggled early on, but two touchdown drives late in the 2nd quarter allowed them to take a 14-13 lead before the half. The Bear retook the lead in the third quarter when D.J. Moore caught a pass from Caleb Williams for a TD. However, they missed the two-point attempt, making things 19-14.

Cairo Santos ended up converting all four of his field goal attempts as he helped the Bears win their fifth game on the season.

Minnesota Vikings at Detroit Lions – NFL Week 9 Predictions According to Madden 26

The Detroit Lions sour J.J. McCarthy's return as they defeat the Vikings with ease.

The Lions started the game perfectly.  Four plays after David Montgomery ran for a 30 yard TD run, McCarthy threw an interception to Amik Robertson, who returned it to the MIN 12. Two plays later, Jameson Williams caught a TD pass to make things 14-0. And just 1 minute before the quarter ended, Jahmyr Gibbs took it to the house on a 52-yard TD run.

The Vikings finally got on the board in the second quarter, but they were still down 24-7. Justin Jefferson's TD reception was negated by an 18-yard TD reception from Amon-Ra St. Brown.

Carolina Panthers at Green Bay Packers – NFL Week 9 Predictions According to Madden 26

The Green Bay Packers survive an ugly first half to come back and beat the Panthers.

Green Bay's first offensive drive was a success. Jordan Love completed five of five passes, and Josh Jacobs capped the drive off with a score.

The Packers tied the game back up with a FG in the third quarter. Eventually, they took the lead again as Jordan Love threw a TD pass to Tucker Kraft. Furthermore, the Packers went on to score another 10 unanswered points, including a TD reception from Christian Watson.

Los Angeles Chargers at Tennessee Titans – NFL Week 9 Predictions According to Madden 26

The Los Angeles Chargers defeat the Titans in what was one of our strangest sims yet.

For some reason, the Chargers' offense was completely inept in the first half. While they did reach the end zone three times, all three drives ended in FGs. It wasn't until the fourth quarter where they finally enjoyed some success. Up 9-3, Keenan Allen caught a 38-yard TD pass from Justin Herbert to make things 16-3.

After Cam Ward threw his 2nd interception of the day, L.A. scored again when Herbert completed a TD pass to Ladd McConkey. The Titans' offense, who had done nothing else all day, failed to even score in garbage time.

Atlanta Falcons at New England Patriots – NFL Week 9 Predictions According to Madden 26

Outside of a solid second quarter, Atlanta had no luck in overcoming the surging Patriots.

Drake Maye continues to excel, scoring three passing touchdowns and throwing no interceptions in the convincing win for New England. Meanwhile, Michael Penix Jr. struggled in his return, throwing 1 TD to just 3 INTs in the loss. Maye only threw for just over 200 yards, and that was because he was always set up in great field position.

The Falcons did have some success in the second quarter. Penix threw his only TD pass to Bijan Robinson in the two-minute warning. Down 17-10, it seemed like they still had a chance. Instead, New England scored 17 unanswered as they dominated the Falcons.

San Francisco 49ers at New York Giants – NFL Week 9 Predictions According to Madden 26

The Giants kept it somewhat close, but the 49ers pulled away in the end to claim victory.

It wasn't easy for the Giants, who were without Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo. Jaxson Dart struggled, throwing an interception and only completing 59% of his passes. But he did throw a touchdown pass, and led the team on two other scoring drives, which limited the Niners to a one score lead.

But San Francisco's offense was playing too well. Outside of an ugly third quarter, they scored three touchdowns and added a couple of FG drives. Christian McCaffrey caught a 39-yard TD pass in the second quarter to make things 17-0.

New York scored 10 unanswered points, but the Niners responded with a FG to make things 20-10. When the Giants scored another FG, Christian McCaffrey ended things with a 22-yard TD run in the final three minutes.

Indianapolis Colts at Pittsburgh Steelers – NFL Week 9 Predictions According to Madden 26

The Indianapolis Colts beat the Steelers an exciting offensive matchup.

While the Steelers never actually had the lead in this game, they never let the Colts take a two-possession lead. Every time Indianapolis scored, they responded the same way.

Indianapolis' offense thrived with a two-touchdown performance in which he carried the ball 18 times for 140 yards. Daniel Jones tossed another two TD passes as he threw for 262 yards.

The Steelers, on the other hand, relied heavily on their passing attack. Aaron Rodgers completed 30 of 43 passes for 352 yards and three touchdowns. He threw an 81-yard TD pass to Calvin Austin III in the third quarter, which actually ended up being their last TD of the game.

Tied 24-24, Jones threw his 2nd TD pass to Tyler Warren with 2:31 left. Although the Steelers had time, they ultimately failed to tie the game, giving the Colts the win.

Denver Broncos at Houston Texans – NFL Week 9 Predictions According to Madden 26

Denver took a 14-0 lead early on, and an early third quarter score put them up 21-7. Bo Nix was playing extremely well, throwing three touchdown passes in the first three quarters. But the Texans kept things close with two touchdowns of their own.

Needing a touchdown, the Texans were instead forced to settle for a FG with over 11 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Down 21-17, they would still need a TD in order to win the game.

Things were pretty quiet until the five minute mark, when RB R.J. Harvey scored on a 15-yard TD run to extend Denver's lead to 11. At this point, things seemed hopeless for Houston, but they still drove down all the way to the DEN 10. But an interception from Pat Surtain II closed things for good.

Jacksonville Jaguars at Las Vegas Raiders – NFL Week 9 Predictions According to Madden 26

The Jaguars survive a close encounter with the Raiders as they continue to fight for a playoff spot.

The first half was nothing but FGs, with Las Vegas scoring one more right before the half ended. In fact, the first touchdown didn't come until there were two minutes left in the third, when Ashton Jeanty scored on a two-yard run.

Down 13-6, the Jaguars eventually tied the game after Travis Etienne scored on a two-yard run of his own. Both teams went on to trade one FG each, and the Jaguars ended up having the ball with over three minutes left.

A tight drive consisting on three third-down conversions saw Jacksonville enter the Red Zone. From there, they wasted the clock down to the last second, with Cam Little converting the 34 yard game-winning score.
