Week 9 gets underway with the Baltimore Ravens , presumably with Lamar Jackson (whom coach John Harbaugh is "hopeful" will play ), visiting the Miami Dolphins on "Thursday Night Football."
In the early Sunday window, the Detroit Lions are heavy favorites over the NFC North rival Minnesota Vikings , and the surging Indianapolis Colts visit Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers , who are coming off a loss the Green Bay Packers .
The Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills match up in perhaps the game of the day in a late afternoon tilt, with the Bills currently an underdog at home.
"Monday Night Football" closes out the week, as the Dallas Cowboys welcome the underdog Arizona Cardinals to Arlington, Texas.
So which games offer early appeal?
