NFL Week 9 Picks and Wagers

It was a busy weekend for me, so no time for the In Depth analysis this week, but here are the picks with one-liners:

Atlanta -7 at Colts - Falcons set to roll, get back Julio Jones, and could run the table rest of the year.

Tampa +8.5 at Saints - Saints are turning the ball over and struggled vs. the Bucs couple weeks ago, should be a close one.

Houston -10.5 vs Cleveland - Texans are getting their swagger back and Foster should put up huge numbers, while the Browns are a mess.

Jets +3 vs Bills - Jets are well-rested and I like the Bills to win, but just by a FG.

Chiefs -4.5 vs Dolphins - Chiefs go for 5 wins in a row in Miami will be unable to get anything going in this one.

49ers -4.5 at Skins - 49ers D is too good for John Beck and the Skins and should be able to win this by double digits.

Seahawks +11.5 at Cowboys - Seattle has shown the ability to play on the road this year, and a much better team with Tavaris Jackson, and can play strong D to force some Romo turnovers to keep it within 10.

Broncos +7.5 at Raiders - The Raiders find ways to keep games close and have questions at QB and without McFadden, and also struggle against rushing QB's.

Bengals +3 at Titans - Cincy is looking good on D and Dalton to Green is hot, while Titans are up and down each week, but I like Cincy to win here.

Rams +3 at Cardinals - Rams coming off impressive performance and Cards with Skeleton at QB

Pats -9 vs Giants - Patriots have too much offense and Giants missing Nicks, Bradshaw and countless others.

Packers -6 vs Chargers - The Pack are setting up for a 16-0 season and Rivers is struggling, Matthews potentially out, going to struggle on D to stop Rodgers and Co. as well.

Ravens +3.5 at Steelers - Baltimore has not looked good and Steelers have looked great, but this match-up is always a toss-up, so I think Baltimore steps it up and plays a tight one.

Chicago +8 vs Eagles - Vick has struggled against Bears in career and Forte should have plenty of running room. As long a Cutler avoids turnovers, Bears have a chance although Birds putting it together finally.
