NFL betting: Cowboys still perfect ATS, top Week 9 rankings

Halloween was a spooky weekend for favorites. Underdogs went 10-5 against the spread in Week 8, with eight dogs winning straight up.

Here's an ATS rankings breakdown for all 32 teams heading into Week 9:

1. Dallas Cowboys 7-0 against the spread (have covered by +61 points)

No Dak, no problem. Cooper Rush threw 40 times for 325 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winner with less than a minute left.

Week 9: (-10) vs. Denver Broncos

2. Green Bay Packers 7-1 (-1.5)

What's more impressive: the Packers covering seven in a row or Aaron Rodgers growing his hair out for a year for his Halloween costume?

Week 9: (+1) at Kansas City Chiefs

Ask Admiral Ackbar what he thinks about Arizona getting points against San Francisco.

Week 9: (+1) at San Francisco 49ers

Week 9: (+7.5) at Los Angeles Rams

5. Buffalo Bills 5-2 (+63.5)

I warned you last week that it was time to scoop up a Josh Allen MVP ticket. He's now the odds-on favorite to win the award.

Frank Reich is embracing the philosophy of "just put the ball in your best players' hands."

The Raiders are a game up in the AFC West but they're third-favorite behind the Chargers and Chiefs to win the division.

The right side of the offensive line is absolutely killing the Chargers.

Week 9: (-1.5) at Philadelphia Eagles

A week after thrashing the Ravens, the Bengals lost to the Jets as double-digit favorites.

Week 9: (-3) vs. Cleveland Browns

Week 9: (-3.5) at Carolina Panthers

14. Los Angeles Rams 4-4 (+18)

Matthew Stafford has 10 touchdowns and one interception over his last three contests. The offense is a buzzsaw and the defense just added Von Miller. Sheesh.

The injuries keep piling up for the Browns as they'll be without stud offensive lineman Jack Conklin for multiple weeks.

Pittsburgh has covered two of their last three games and will face a Bears team that has dropped three in a row against the spread.

Week 9: (+14.5) vs. Buffalo Bills

30. Kansas City Chiefs 2-6 (-58)

Green Bay coming off a long week where they went on the road to beat the last undefeated team in the NFL, the Chiefs barely edging out the Giants at home, annnnd guess who's favored?

Week 9: (-1) vs. Green Bay Packers

31. Miami Dolphins 2-6 (-62.5)

The Dolphins have failed to cover five in a row and I'm not so sure they break that streak this week.

Week 9: (-6.5) vs. Houston Texans

32. Washington Football Team 1-7 (-48.5)

Just let them take the rest of the season off.

Week 9: BYE
