week nine, NFL picks

In what is a great weekend for T.V, we should just sit down in front of our televisions at about 8 p.m (Alabama vs. LSU) Saturday and not move until about 11 p.m Sunday (Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Baltimore Ravens).  We start with college football and end with the NFL and we can mix in some of the Breeders Cup tomorrow, if thats your cup of tea.  Their is some great television watching this weekend.  As far as the NFL we have some good games on the local slate, with the NY Jets in Buffalo and in a rematch of Super Bowl XLII the NY Giants are up in Foxboro to meet the Patriots.        

Week 9 picks:

1) The Indianapolis Colts Can't do much right this season, Peyton is out and that is exposing some other holes on that team.  Atlanta has been disappointing this season and their is some concern this week because the Falcons are coming off a bye and facing a winless team.  Let me have the Atlanta Falcons (-7) on the road in Indy. Atlanta Falcons -7  

2) The Washington Redskins are having some problems not to mention that they changed quarterbacks,  the San Francisco 49ers aren't great but they are going to win the west and soon.  I'll take San Francisco 49ers (-3.5) in Washington.  San Francisco 49ers -3.5 

3) I am going to go out on a limb here because sooner or later the Green Bay Packers are going to loose and/or the Miami Dolphins are going to win a game.  Miami has looked impressive and almost every week they are right there and if they don't win this one they'll have to wait.  This could be a tricky game for Kansas City who's coming off the short week.  Let me have Miami (+4) in Kansas City.  Miami Dolphins +4  

4)  The NY Jet defense isn't as good as it could be and they might not be able to get a pass rush on Ryan Fitzpatrick who doesn't go through and read the whole defense.  Ill take the Buffalo Bills (-2) who will make enough plays to beat the New York Jets at home.  Buffalo Bills -2

5) In a rematch of Super Bowl XLII the NY Giants travel to Foxboro. The Giants are suffering from injuries most notable to Ahmad Bradshaw (offense) and will now have to give to ball to a disgruntled Brandon Jacobs, and Jason Pierre-Paul (concussion) on defense.  The Patriots are good at home and are near  unbeatable coming off a loss.  Although the Giants (+9) will score the Patriots will win at home, but not cover. New York Giants +9, New England Patriots win
