Week 9 NFL Picks/MVP Watch

NY Jets (4-3) @ Buffalo (5-2)

The comeback against the Chargers two weeks ago might have smartened the Jets up once and for all after their mediocre 2-3 start. The Bills defense may have shut out the Redskins “offence” last week, but this defensive group has had their issues this year. The Sanchize needs to have a breakthrough game here if he wants to be taken seriously.

NY Jets 27 Buffalo 10


Seattle (2-5) @ Dallas (3-4)

Expect another outstanding game from newfound Cowboys phenom RB DeMarco Murray.

Dallas 35 Seattle 13


Cleveland (3-4) @ Houston (5-3)

The Texans won’t need Andre Johnson for this one.

Houston 29 Cleveland 7


Atlanta (4-3) @ Indianapolis (0-8)

Imagine how fun it will be when the Colts finally win a game and I can say that I predicted it would happen.

Indianapolis 23 Atlanta 21


Miami (0-7) @ Kansas City (4-3)

Despite what the Colts are doing, I still think the Dolphins are the favourite in the Suck for Luck derby.

Kansas City 27 Miami 16


Tampa Bay (4-3) @ New Orleans (5-3)

Usually when the Saints lay an egg like they did against the Rams, they come back the next week and obliterate their opponent. And with Josh Freeman and his horrific road play going into the Superdome, the Saints should show that they’re still the class of the NFC South.

New Orleans 34 Tampa Bay 13


San Francisco (6-1) @ Washington (3-4)

Remember when Rex Grossman guaranteed an NFC East title for the Skins?

San Francisco 21 Washington 18


Denver (2-5) @ Oakland (4-3)

There’s no way Carson Palmer can be as bad as he was against the Chiefs. And even if he is, he has the king of the wounded duck, Tim Tebow, on the other side.

Oakland 27 Denver 21


Cincinnati (5-2) @ Tennessee (4-3)

Andy Dalton has been good, but he hasn’t been great. Look for a letdown against a decent Titans team.

Tennessee 28 Cincinnati 16


St. Louis (1-6) @ Arizona (1-6)

So how’s that Kevin Kolb trade working out for you, Arizona? I’ll give them the win because they’re at home.

Arizona 20 St. Louis 17


NY Giants (5-2) @ New England (5-2)

The Pats get revenge for Super Bowl XLII.

New England 31 NY Giants 24


Green Bay (7-0) @ San Diego (4-3)

Certainly one of the Packers tougher tests this year, flying all the way out West to a place where the Chargers play well at. It’s so tough to pick against the Pack right now, but would not be in the least bit surprised to see the perfect season come to an end.

Green Bay 30 San Diego 27


Baltimore (5-2) @ Pittsburgh (6-2)

The Steelers have a much tougher test in the Ravens defence than they did in the Patriots defence. This is a Ravens defence that made Ben Roethlisberger look like a peewee quarterback in week 1. In a game that will be decided on which team makes the most mistakes, the Ravens will come out on top again.

Baltimore 21 Pittsburgh 20


Chicago (4-3) @ Philadelphia (3-4)

I’m pretty confident the Eagles are going 12-4 this year.

Philadelphia 35 Chicago 14


MVP Watch


5. Tom Brady (4) QB New England 2361 yds 18 TD 8 INT

Could see himself off this list if he doesn’t return to form against the Giants.


4. Matthew Stafford (5) QB Detroit 2179 yds, 19 TD 4 INT

Moves up a spot after he did what Drew Brees didn’t do. Dominate a game that you’re supposed to.


3. Drew Brees (3) QB New Orleans 2746 yds 19 TD 10 INT

Atrocious game against the Rams prevents him from moving up.


2. Cam Newton (2) QB Carolina 2393 yds 11 TD 9 INT 7 rushing tds

Oustanding 3-TD game against the Vikings, only to watch the kicker blow the game.

1. Aaron Rodgers (1) QB Green Bay 2372 yds 20 TD 3 INT

Bye last week.
