"The Week 9 NFL schedule for the 2025 season brings some spooky matchups this Halloween weekend. Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen face each other again for what's expected to be another thriller. The Vikings and Lions will square off in an NFC North battle, and Saints rookie QB Tyler Shough will make his regular-season debut against the Rams."
"Our NFL Nation reporters take you inside the locker room with the best thing they heard this week, and ESPN Research provides a key stat to know and a betting nugget for each contest. Plus, analytics writer Seth Walder makes a bold prediction for each matchup, and fantasy analyst Eric Moody shares fantasy football intel."
"What we're hearing on the Texans: The Broncos lead the NFL in sacks (36) while the Texans' offensive line ranks 28th in pass block win rate (55.1%). One group is perceived as a strength, and the other group is slowly improving. Last week, Houston gave up zero sacks for the first time this season, so the hope is the line can carry that momentum against one of the NFL's top defenses. -- DJ Bien-Aime"
