I was just a boneheaded rookie running back fumble on Monday night away from a 5-2 record last week but had to settle for 4-3… Not terrible, but it’s certainly not what we’re looking for !!! Anyway onto the picks for week 9….
Please note I am not affliated in any way with NSA Wins professional handicapping service…
Last Week 4-3 (57%)
Season 28-30 (48%)
Sunday 11/8
Miami plus 10.5 – New England has lit up the scoreboard in their last 2 games but it was against 2 of the worst teams in the league. I’m not saying they shouldn’t beat Miami, but this isn’t Tampa or Tennessee and the Dolphins are physical. If Miami can run and eat clock, they will limit Brady’s chances on offense so I’ll take the points in what should be a competitive divisional game.
Baltimore minus 3– The Ravens got their swagger back by smacking the undefeated Broncos and I think this week is the start of the end for Cincinnati’s dreams of winning the division… I say the Bungles return this week and the Ravens romp and get their revenge.
Green Bay minus 10 -Sure, the Pack can’t handle Brett Fossil and the Queens, but they are surely capable of ripping Tampa a new one… Lay the points.
Atlanta minus 10- The Falcons aren’t ready to knock off good teams on the road but at home, they can certainly lay the wood to teams of Washington’s caliber.. Falcons in a let’s-get-home-and-whip-somone’s-ass-to-feel-better-about-ourselves game…..
Philadelphia minus 3- The Birds play well at home and while I know Son of Bum has the Girls playing well at home, I see Dallas struggling on the road in a hostile environment in a big divisional game. Philly by 7 plus….
Monday 11/9
Pittsburgh minus 3- Denver isn’t sneaking up on anybody after their fast start and they will have the Steeler’s full attention. Plus, there is now 7 games on film to figure out how to beat Denver….Baltimore has and now Pittsburgh will too.
Pittsburgh/Denver Over 39.5 – Let’s ride this Over horse for all its worth, pilgrims!!!!
