Sports: NFL Week Nine Predictions
Whew! Last week was ugly. 4-6 SU, 3-7 ATS.
For the season:
47-33 SU
39-39-2 ATS
AT least my reverse jinx worked for the Cowboys. Maybe it was Roy WIlliams' injury that really did it.
On to the games...
(6-1) NY Jets [-3] at (2-5) Buffalo: Curtis Martin is running like he was when he faced the Texas defense as a Pitt Panther.
Jets 27, Bills 16
ATS- NY Jets
(7-0) Philadelphia at (6-1) Pittsburgh [E]: The Keystone rivalry matches contender v. pretender. The Steelers will fold like Arlen Specter's GOP loyalty.
Eagles 22, Steelers 16
ATS- Philadelphia
(2-5) Washington at (4-3) Detroit [-3.5]: Even though he didn't play last week, Roy Williams is still a 100% badass. F Washington.
Lions 23, Redskins 13
ATS- Detroit
(3-4) Dallas at (2-5) Cincinnatti [E]: There's a medical crisis in Big D; there aren't enough hospital beds to hold the injured Cowboys players.
Cowboys 20, Bengals 17
ATS- Dallas
(2-5) Arizona at (1-7) Miami [-3]: That's not a misprint; the Dolphins are actually favored this week. And I'm... picking them?
Dolphins 21, Cardinals 20
ATS- Arizona
(3-4) Kansas City [-3] at (2-5) Tampa Bay: Watch out, the Chiefs finally seem to remember that they're a playoff-caliber team.
Chiefs 31, Buccaneers 21
ATS- Kansas City
(4-3) Seattle [-6.5] at (1-6) San Francisco: The Hawks have a good opportunity here to try and turn things around.
Seahawks 34, 49ers 20
ATS- Seattle
(6-1) New England [-2] at (4-3) St. Louis: More Jekyll & Hyde? St. Louis' football team or their baseball team (in the playoffs, that is)?
Patriots 27, Rams 23
ATS- Patriots
(4-3) Houston at (5-3) Denver [-6.5]: 6.5 point faves? Am I reading this right? Didn't the Broncos get blown out at home last week?
Houston 24, Denver 23
ATS- Houston
(5-2) Minnesota at (4-3) Indianapolis [-6.5]: Boy, I made a great call when I picked these bunch of lollygaggers to meet in Jacksonville.
Colts 31, Vikings 20
ATS- Indianapolis
