NFL WEEK 9 PREVIEW

Last Week- 10-4
Overall- 27-15

New York Jets at Buffalo- Farve usually comes up big in big games and this is the definition of a big game. The Jets are a game back of the first place Bills so a win will put them in first place. A loss could be devestating to their AFC East title hopes though. Farve has been terrible since he broke out with 6 TD's vs the Cardinals in Week 5 so he is OVERdue. David Harris will miss this one for the Jets with a pulled groin and thats a big loss because he always puts up double digit tackle numbers every game and is sort of the QB of the defense. The Bills are pretty middle of the pack in both passing and rushing defense so look for a balanced attack by the Jets offense. I like this matchup for the Jets because the Bills like to run the ball but ever since the Jets got Kris Jenkins they've been very stingy against the run. So I've got Jets 24-20

Detroit at Chicago- Detroit sucks and if you look at their schedule they don't play any easy teams the rest of the season. In fact I predict they throw up a goose egg for the season. That's right ZERO wins. Chicago 34-10

Jacksonville at Cincinnati- Bengals suck and Jax desperately need a win. Jags 31-13

Baltimore at Cleveland- I have yet to get a Cleveland game right all year and just dont think a 49 percent passer will fare well vs the Ravens D. Ravens 16-10

Green Bay at Tennessee- Titans aren't going to go undefeated but have been damned impressive so far. Especially considering that Kerry Collins is their QB. I mean Collins couldn't even keep a starting job with the Raiders and now he can QB an undefeated team? Doesn't make sense. Not a good matchup for the Pack seeing how they have one of the worst run defenses in the league while the Titans have the number 1 rushing attack. Titans 24-17

Arizona at St. Louis- Wow give Jim Haslett around of applause. He turned the Rams around in 5 seconds. Since he became head man the Rams have beaten the 6-2 Redskins, the Dallas Cowboys, and lost by a TD to the Pats in New England. With a win they will be a game behind in the NFC West. But, sadly, I don't believe in the Rams and believe in Kurt Warner, who's putting up MVP numbers and has the best WR duo in the league. Cards 31-27

Houston at Minnesota- Interesting game. Two teams looking to be contenders but probably aren't on par with the other contenders. The Texans have the FOURTH best offense in the league. Andre Johnson has been the best wideout in the league so far. He's put up 131, 178, 141, and 143 yards the last 4 weeks. WOW. Schaub has played well. Mario Williams is sacking QBs. The Texans have won 3 in a row. Better make it 4. Texans 28-20

Tampa Bay at Kansas City- Even though the Jets made the Chiefs look like a top 10 team and made Tyler Thigpen look like Joe Montana the Chiefs suck. They are BAD. Really Really bad. Bucs 24-6

Miami at Denver- Here's an upset for you. Pennington is putting up a hell of a season and it looks like the Fins have gotten the better QB. If the Jets had Pennington they'd be 6-1 right now. If the Fins had Farve they'd be 0-7 right now. Denver sucks against the pass and are without Champ Bailey for this one. Joey Porter's got 10.5 sacks and is talking shit just like the old days. A lot to like if your a Fins fan. Dolphins quadruple their win total from last year. Dolphins 30-24

Atlanta at Oakland- Even though the Jets made the Raiders look like a top 10 team the Raiders suck. Matt Ryan is 100 times better than JaMarcus Russell too. Just like to add that.
Falcons 20-10

Dallas at New York Giants- Brad Johnson will get killed in this game. Mark my words. I'm thinking 6 or 7 sacks. Johnson is 40 and immobile whike Kiwaunuka and Tuck are in their 20s and fast as hell. Dallas just needs to get to their bye already. Everyone's wondering whats wrong with the Cowboys but its really simple. Brad Johnson is their QB right now, their top 4 or so defensive backs are out. They'll lose to the G-Men and get to their bye at 5-4 but I refuse to believe they'll miss the playoffs. Once they get healthy they'll run off a 6-1 or 5-2 run and make the playoffs at 11-5 or 10-6. Romo and Felix Jones two of their biggest weapons on offense will most likely be back after the bye and the D-backs should too. Once Romo gets back he'll have T.O, Roy Williams, and Witten to throw to. He'll have Marion Barber and Jones to hand off to. Come on thats scary. They'll make the playoffs. Giants 24-17

Philadelphia at Seattle- Seattle still has a shot. Especially if Hasselback ever gets back. The only reason theyre 2-5 is that they've been unbelievably unhealthy. Frye and Wallace have been their QB the last 4 weeks. In fact at one point Wallace was their number 2 WR. If they could somehow find a way to win this game they will be right in the hunt. But they won't.
Eagles 26-13

New England at Indianapolis- Boy has this game turned into a shit one. No Brady and a crappy Peyton and crappy Colts equals a pretty damn ordinary game. This has got to be the game Peyton goes back to his 400 yard 5 TD ways right? Not quite but they'll find a way to win.
Colts 24-20

Pittsburgh at Washington- Jason Campbell still hasn't thrown a INT. I say that streak will end Monday Night. Clinton Porits has been amazing and may be the MVP of the league right now. I'll say he wont be amazing Monday night. The Steelers are steaming over their loss to the Giants. The backup snapper cost them the game. They hadn't given up anything but FG's until they had to punt from their own end zone and then all hell broke loose. Unless the Redskins can sack the shit out of Big Ben the Steelers will win a low scoring game. Steelers 17-13
