Week 9 NFL Picks Part 1

By kingarthur11 on October 31, 2013

Well last week went rather well for me, and I am sitting pretty at 71-49 Overall. Let’s get off to another fast start in this intra-conference clash in Cincinnati.

Bengals at Dolphins

(6-2-0)

Bengals

—

(3-4-0)

Dolphins

—

Miami has struggled as of late, and the Bengals are coming off a blowout 49-9 victory over the Jets. Cincinnati also has four straight wins so don’t expect much to change this week.

My Pick: Bengals

Falcons at Panthers

(2-5-0)

Falcons

—

(4-3-0)

Panthers

—

Carolina seems to have gotten hot at the right time, while Atlanta is trying to shake off a loss to the Cardinals. Crown the Falcons the NFC’s biggest disappointment as their Super Bowl dreams vanish for good this weekend.

My Pick: Panthers

Vikings at Cowboys

(1-6-0)

Vikings

—

(4-4-0)

Cowboys

—

It seems the gameplan for taking Adrian Peterson out of the game is proving effective for NFL defenses. If only there was a certain quarterback that could come out of retirement and join this franchise to make them relevant again….Just kidding! I don’t think even Favre would want to come out of retirement to “re-join” this team.

My Pick: Cowboys

Saints at Jets

(6-1-0)

Saints

—

(4-4-0)

Jets

—

My Pick: Saints

You didn’t seriously think I’d pick the Jets did you?!

Titans at Rams

(3-4-0)

Titans

—

(3-5-0)

Rams

—

As terrible as both these teams are, having a starting quarterback leading your team versus a backup leading your team is a huge advantage in the Titans favor. There’s also Chris Johnson to deal with too…

My Pick: Titans

Chiefs at Bills

(8-0-0)

Chiefs

—

(3-5-0)

Bills

—

Granted the Chiefs haven’t played the best competition, but they’re still 8-0 and they know how to win football games. You can’t say the same for the Bills though.

My Pick: Chiefs

Chargers at Redskins

(4-3-0)

Chargers

—

(2-5-0)

Redskins

—

Considering the pleasant surprise the Chargers have been this season I expect for them to get the win in our nation’s capital. Washington has talent, and I still don’t trust San Diego’s defense, but by the same token Washington’s offense has proven to be very inconsistent. Inconsistency loses football games.

My Pick: Chargers

Eagles at Raiders

(3-5-0)

Eagles

—

(3-4-0)

Raiders

—

Trick or treat, the Raiders will be .500 if they win this game. I think Oakland will “treat” themselves to a win, while Philadelphia “tricks” no one in the loss and commits multiple turnovers.

My Pick: Raiders

Buccaneers at Seahawks
