Week 9: 9-5 Overall: 81-51
Giants vs. Bengals
The Bengals are struggling this year to reach .500 but with Dalton and Green on the team still they are fully capable of keeping up with most anyone. The Giants have been winning in spite of less than exceptional play out of Eli. Once Nicks gets more involved (which you’d assume has to be eventually), this offense should start clicking.
Pick: Giants
Titans vs. Dolphins
Titans get Jake Locker back in the fold this week against the Dolphins. Although Chris Johnson may have a hard time getting things going against this rush defense, they can be thrown on. Although the Dolphins are the better team, I see the Titans pulling out the W.
Pick: Titans
Lions vs. Vikings
The Vikings have lost two straight and do not look like they are on the right track. The once tough defense of the Vikings, now are having a tough time stopping people from scoring on them. The Lions who have been great offensively and defensively, finally are making that translate to wins. Their streak will continue.
Pick: Lions
Bills vs. Patriots
The Bills are in shambles. They aren’t even confident in Fitzpatrick who just got a huge contract last year. They also cannot stop the run. Look for a big day from Ridley.
Pick: Patriots
Falcons vs. Saints
I don’t know about you but I keep waiting for the Falcons to lose a game and for the Saints to start winning more often. Well the Saints for 3-1 the past 4 weeks but would probably need to win out in order to sneak in the playoffs. I think they’ll have a hard time stopping Matty Ice and this potent offense though.
Pick: Falcons
Chargers vs. Buccaneers
The Chargers are hot and cold all year and the Bucs are streaking. Freeman has being playing some of his best football the past few weeks and it finally looks like Doug Martin is living up to the hype. The Chargers are tough to run on so look for Vincent Jackson to have a big game against his former team.
Pick: Buccaneers
Broncos vs. Panthers
The Broncos are on fire still and look to put some more hurting on the Panthers. Steve Smith finally got his first TD last week but the Broncos defense is much better than Washington’s. Manning will keep it rolling.
Pick: Broncos
Raiders vs. Ravens
People are saying the Ravens aren’t as good as their 6-2 record. Although the Raiders are pesky, the Ravens are the better team.
Pick: Ravens
Jets vs. Seahawks
I’m not so sure that the Seahawks will win by the 6 point spread but they should beat the lowly Jets. Look for Lynch to get a heavy workload after a few weeks of a pass heavy offense.
Picks: Seahawks
Cowboys vs. Eagles
This pick was a tough one. These two teams are pretty similarly disappointing. Until McCoy gets more involved the Eagles offense will continue to turn the ball over with Vick in charge. The Cowboys have their own struggles but Romo is due for a big game like he occasionally gets.
Pick: Cowboys
Rams vs. 49ers
The Rams will have a really tough time scoring against this D.
Pick: 49ers
Texans vs. Bears
This is the game of the week by far. Some people might even think of this as a SuperBowl preview. The Bears defense has been ridiculously good. Cutler and Marshall have been hooking up often and Forte continues to run the ball well. The Texans who in my opinion are the best team in the AFC will face the team who is playing the best football in the NFL right now.
Pick: Bears
Chiefs vs. Steelers
The Steelers should roll on the Chiefs. A 12 point spread is quite a lot but they could very easily reach that.
Pick: Steelers
