Week 9 Preview


     Big week again for division games, with four this weekend. Some interesting storylines to watch out for while enjoying another Sunday of NFL football:
·      Eagles quarterback situation- Michael Vick is out. Nick Foles has done nothing to show he should be the starter however neither has the guy behind, Matt Barkley. Look for a short leash on Foles
·      Patriots injury situations- Defensive tackle has been a huge blow as both day 1 starters, Vince Wilfork and Tommy Kelly, are now both on IR and will not be coming back this season. The Isaac Sopoaga acquisition will be under the spotlight, as will the young players in Chris Jones and Joe Vellano. Another injury to monitor: the growing concern behind Tom Brady’s swollen hand.
·      Falcons dagger- A division loss would drop the Falcons to 2-6 and the third in their division. That would pretty much be the nail in the coffin for Atlanta, a preseason Super Bowl favorite.


Week 9 Predictions:


Kansas City Chiefs: 27                                                     Atlanta Falcons: 24
Buffalo Bills: 10                                                                 Carolina Panthers: 27

Dallas Cowboys: 30                                                           Philadelphia Eagles: 6
Minnesota Vikings: 17                                                      Oakland Raiders: 17

Tennessee Titans: 20                                                       Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 0
St. Louis Rams: 17                                                             Seattle Seahawks: 27

New Orleans Saints: 34                                                    Baltimore Ravens: 24
New York Jets: 27                                                              Cleveland Browns: 7

San Diego Chargers: 17                                                   New England Patriots: 30
Washington Redskins: 20                                              Pittsburgh Steelers: 23

Indianapolis Colts: 27                                                     Chicago Bears: 7
Houston Texans: 20                                                        Green Bay Packers: 35

Sure pick of the Week- Seattle over the Bucs in Seattle.


Upset of the Week- Redskins over the Chargers. RG3 looks better and Washington picks up a much needed win to stay in the NFC East race.
