WEEK 9 NFL PICKS

LOCK OF THE WEEK


HOUSTON (+4.5) @ Minnesota

The Texans boast one of the hottest offenses, putting up point totals of 27, 27, 29, 28 and 35 in their last five games (the last three wins). The aerial attack is close to unstoppable with Andre Johnson becoming the leagues most dominant receiver and Kevin Walter doing his best impersonation of Wes Welker from 2007. The Vikings have not been able to put up any level of consistency in a year that many predicted they would by one of the top teams in the league. Fortunately for you and I, Vegas has not caught on to this yet. Expect a high-scoring game and plenty of fantasy points for ADP as well, but not nearly enough help from Gus "noodle-arm" Frerotte as he's fresh off a 4 interception day. LOCK IT UP!




REST OF WEEK 9

1 pm games

BUFFALO (-5.5) vs. New York Jets

Brett Favre has comitted 8 turnovers in the past 3 games. That wouldn't be so bad by itself for old greybeard, but the opponents in those games have been the Bengals, Raiders and Chiefs. Not exactly the class of the NFL. Look for the Bills to bounce back at home after a surprising loss last week.

CHICAGO (-12.5) vs. Detroit
Detriot is in so much trouble that they are attempting to coax Daunte Culpepper from retirement. Not a good sign...

Also, if you have Forte in you fantasy league then start him. 160 yards and 2 TDs is a safe prediction.


JACKSONVILLE (-7.5) @ Cincinnati
The Bengals are as functional as the man you see to the right after he's had two Cosmos.

CLEVELAND (-1.5) vs. Baltimore
In all honesty I have no idea what to think for this game. Both teams are coming in with some level of momentum. I'll take the home team after my coin landed on heads.


ST. LOUIS (+2.5) vs. Arizona

High scoring game here and don't be afraid to take the over of 48. These teams are to defense what Sean Tate is to sobriety. I like St. Louis' passing game to get going and Torry Holt to have his breakout game of the year. Start everyone you own from these teams in fantasy.


TENNESSEE (-6.5) vs. Green Bay
I said it last week and I will stick with it: Ride her til she bucks you. Take the Titans.

TAMPA BAY (-8.5) @ Kansas City
Its been well documented that I am a fan of of the Bucs this year. Graham and Dunn will combine for huge number against a horrendous Chiefs run D.

4pm games

MIAMI (+3.5) @ Denver
Denver's rush D is hurting which will create a lot of lanes for the explosive Ronnie Brown.

NEW YORK GIANTS (-7.5) vs. Dallas

PHILADELPHIA (-6.5) @ Seattle

ATLANTA (-2.5) @ Oakland

8pm game

NEW ENGLAND (+5.5) @ Indianapolis
The Colts have shown me no reason thsi season why they should be favored by greater than 3 points in this game. Until they do, don't be like teh rest of teh suckers who bet based on team reputation and not on performance from this year.

Monady Night

PITTSBURGH (+2.5) @ Washington
This was one of the easier games for me to pick. The Steelers are a far superior team to a Redskins team that has overacheived and has its only two offense weapons ailing. Grab that Money-Line.
