Week Nine in the NFL.....

This week I am starting with the Home Team....What a WIN against Pittsburgh last week.  If you were paying attention, it was quite different than the win against Tampa Bay. In the the win against the Bucs, it felt like the Bucs just played poorly not necessarily that the Saints played well. However, in the game against the Steelers we definitely played a much more complete game which now has me convinced we have turned the corner. We shall see....So here we go into the wild world of predictions......Got to go with the Saints against Carolina...and if I am reading the right signs, this could be a blow out. Saints win. Next up Dolphins at the Ravens. I have to go with the Home Team here. Ravens win. An interesting game and a big test for the Tampa Bay Bucs who travel to Atlanta to take on the Falcons. If this were in Tampa I might pick the Bucs but on the road against a good Falcon team will be tough. Falcons bring the Bucs down to earth. Falcons win. The Bears are just what Buffalo needs to cure there winless ills. The Bills have never given up and have been close against some stiff competition. Today they get the right opponent. Bills win first one. Patriots at Cleveland. I would love to see Cleveland play like they did against the Saints but the Patriots won't take them so lightly. Patriots win. The Jets at the Lions. You just have to know Rex Ryan is steamed about the loss last week and getting shut out. Jets will come out with focus and win. San Diego at Houston.....this will be a battle. If the Chargers hope to salvage their season they will have to win out....a pretty tall order. I believe the Chargers problems will continue. Texans win. Norv, start looking for another job. Cardinals travel to Minnesota....Look for Brett to make his 293rd consecutive start and lead the Vikings to a win at home. Colts at the Eagles....this game comes down to two things....Too many injuries for Indianapolis and the return of Michael Vick for the Eagles. Eagles win at home. Giants at Seattle...It appears that the Giants have settled down. Giants win in a close one. Chiefs at the Raiders...Wow! What can you say about this one? Finally a meaningful game between two old arch rivals. This too will come down to the last possession. Chiefs win. Dallas at Green Bay.....At one time this was a meaningful game but not today. Cowboys troubles continue. Packers win in Lambeau. Wade may not finish the season at the rate he's going.  Finally Monday Night Football with the Steelers at Cincinnati. Pittsburgh rebounds from the loss at New Orleans and takes out their frustration on the Bengals. Steelers win. You really should challenge me after the last two weeks I've had. Last week a horrible showing of 5-9 and total for the season 65-52. Let's see how it goes this week. Hope you have a Great Football Day!
