Week 9 Picks

Week 9 already? Wasn't this season supposed to be cancelled? Or was that the NBA? The NFL season has been very exciting and the Bengals are surprising a lot of people. If they get a win this week I might go all in on the young team from Cincinnati. Right now, they are a feel good story that comes back down to earth this week.

I'll take the NY Jets over Buffalo, Houston over Cleveland, Atlanta over Indy, New Orleans over Tampa, San Francisco over Washington, St. Louis over Arizona, Tennesee over Cincinnati (I hope I'm wrong), Green Bay over San Diego and New England over the NY Giants.

Intriguing game of the Week: Oakland over Denver- Carson Palmer makes his first start as a Raider against the immortal Tim Tebow. The fact is, Oakland has a better running game and defense even with their star running back out. Tim Tebow will keep his team in the game, but Oakland wins by a FG.
Oakland: 24    Denver: 21

Upset Special- Miami over Kansas City- Miami played well last week and almost got their first win. Now, they face a Kansas City team who has won four games in a row. Kansas City seems like a lock right? Wrong. Miami's run defense will hold Jackie Battle and co. in check and the Miami Dolphins will get their first win of the season.  Miami:17    Kansas City: 14

Lock of the Week- Dallas over Seattle- The Cowboys are at home and need a win this week. I think Cowboys' QB Tony Romo leads his team to a much needed victory. Dallas is a very good survivor pool play this week.
Dallas: 31   Seattle:17

Game of the Week: Pittsburgh over Baltimore- The Steelers were dominated bythe Ravens in week one. Well, since then Pittsburgh has went 6-1 and is fresh off of a big win over Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. I think Pittsburgh gets their revenge.
Pittsburgh: 20    Baltimore: 17

I think Big Ben and the Steelers will come out and get revenge
on Joe Flacco and the Baltimore Ravens.
