Man, didn't have such a great week last week. Only 7 wins for me! But it's all good! We're going to turn it around this weekend! So here it comes! Week 9 my friends!
Washington @ Atlanta: I remember the days when the Skins were winning super bowls!! This franchise has fallen far, and they are a long way from getting back up. Atlanta is a franchise on the rise. They may not be Super Bowl caliber, yet, but they are a lot higher caliber than the skins, Falcons take this one.
Arizona @ Chicago: This will depend on which Arizona team shows up. Will this be the team the surprised and confused the Giants? Or will it be the team that got beat down by the lowly Panthers. It's just hard to tell with them! I'm going to say that if they can confuse Eli Manning and hold the Giants in check, they should be able to do the same against Jay Cutler. I'll take the Cards.
Baltimore @ Cincinnati: This is another good one in the making. Ravens have their confidence back, but will now face a test against the team that gouged them running the ball a few weeks back. Defense will still be tight on both sides, but I think the Ravens will pull this one out, since their offense came back last week.
Houston @ Indianapolis: You know, some teams just have another team's number. Indy has had trouble with Houston in the past, but they've always managed to beat them some how. I don't see it being any different here. Colts.
Kansas City @ Jacksonville: Remember when people thought of the Jags and immediately thought of a team that was tough as nails and would grind one out against you? I mean, they were in the AFC Championship game 2 years ago! They aren't much more than an afterthought now, and they will be even less than that after KC beats them this week.
Miami @ New England: It's really hard to beat New England at home, but this team has done it. For some reason, New England just has a ton of trouble against that Wild cat. If the fins can control the game with the wildcat and keep brady and the offense off of the field, we could see another big upset here. I am, however, going to go with the Pats because they just tend to win at home.
Green Bay @ Tampa Bay: Same comment that I used with the Jags, but this time with the Bucs. Nobody fears them anymore, and they just aren't very good. Pack.
Carolina @ New Orleans: This will be a long one for the Panthers. Saints stay unbeaten and pummel the Panters.
Detroit @ Seattle: Another game that would have the potential to be good if the teams weren't both so bad. I'll give the edge to the more experienced QB here and take Seattle.
San Diego @ NY Giants: San Diego needs to keep winning in order to keep their hopes alive in the AFC West. I'm not so certain that that will happen. I think the Giants are looking to come out and hurt somebody, and a not so great Chargers team might be the ones to do it. They aren't quite as much of a vertical threat as Philly and New Orleans both were, and the Chargers run game has been anemic. I'll take the Giants at home.
Tennessee @ San Francisco: Same comment about the Jags, but with the Titans here. Who knew Albert Haynesworth meant THAT much to that defense. Obviously he meant a lot, but you've gotta be kidding me here! 1 win? San Fran is another team that is still learning how to win, so this could be a close one. Vince Young may be the X factor here. I'm actually going to take Tennessee in this one, because of Vince Young.
Dallas @ Philadelphia: Philly is rolling. Dallas is quite inconsistent. The Philly D is always bringing the heat, and you know that Romo is quite inconsistent, especially when heavily pressured. I give this one to Philly.
Pittsburgh @ Denver: Well, I have to say that Denver really surprised me last week. Not by losing, there's always a chance of losing when you play the Ravens in Baltimore. It was the fashion in which they lost. They honestly looked like they were playing scared, and refused to deviate from a seriously conservative game plan. They had been great at making adjustments all year to this point, but didn't adjust against the Ravens. I'm not down on the D, the D was the reason they still had a shot at the start of the fourth quarter. At any rate, Big Ben will have a big test. He always seems to be running for his life, and the Denver D is quite fast and capable of keeping up. I'm going to go ahead and stick with Denver, as long as they realize that they need to not play so cautiously especially against sure tackling defenses. It'll be a good one, but I think Denver can pull this out.
