Regular Season Week 9

As you may know I’m in the middle of training to get my Montessori credentials. This weekend I have training in Raleigh and I leave tonight. I won’t be able to watch much football this weekend but, I think its cool that the people who run the training really must have had my best interest in mind.  They scheduled my training weekend the same weekend the Giants have a BYE!

 This past weekend was probably the best weekend ever when it comes to football. I mean, the Giants won AND the Cowboys, Redskins, and Eagles lost!!!!! There were some GREAT games this past weekend and I found myself hugging and dancing in the Ginn’s living room after more than one game. Man I love football.

Now, because I’m not playing fantasy I figured I would put up my picks against “The Insiders” on Showtime’s Inside the NFL and this past week I went 13 for 13! That’s right, I beat Phil Simms and Cris Collinsworth!    

The best part of week 9 is the Giants can’t lose! But before we get to that let’s recap week 8 first.

Week 1	2012 Season 9-7	2013 Season 10-6
Week 2	7-9	13-3
Week 3	6-10	8-8
Week 4	12-3	10-5
Week 5	9-5	7-8
Week 6	8-6	10-5
Week 7	11-2	9-6
Week 8	10-4	11-2

Panthers (4-3) @ Buccaneers (0-7) 31-13

This was a pretty easy win for the Panthers. I mean, Tampa Bay made Carolina look stellar. Why can’t the Giants play the Bucs?

Cowboys (4-4) @ Lions (5-3) 30-31

 This. Game. Was. Awesome. Thanks Detroit for not letting me down. Megatron is still a beast and I’d like to give Matt Stafford a high five. I haven’t given out the binky award in some time but I think Dez Bryant deserves it this week…. Throwing a fit on the sideline… come on man!  

49ers (6-2) @ Jaguars (0-8) 42-10

I feel bad for the British fans… this game took place in London again but they only got to see one NFL team…

NY Giants (2-6) @ Eagles (3-5) [1pm FOX]

YESSSSSSSSSSSS! HOW ABOUT 2 WEEKS IN A ROW ELI HASN’T THROWN AN INTERCEPTION!!!!!! And our defense hasn’t allowed any points! Now our special teams still need a ton of work and I’d like to see Eli throw a TD. BUT I’ll take it! A win is so much better when it’s against a division opponent.

Browns (3-5) @ Chiefs (8-0) 17-23

Close, heartbreaking game for Browns fans. I still can’t believe that the Chiefs are STILL undefeated.

Dolphins (3-4) @ Patriots (6-2) 17-27

 No surprise here. Not gonna lie, didn’t watch this game.

Bills (3-5) @ Saints (6-1) 17-35

I’d like to say that the Saints are really, really, good this year… but I don’t believe it.

Steelers (2-5) @ Raiders (3-4) 18-21

My mom picked the Raiders to win. She was right I was wrong in this report. But I took her advice and picked it right when playing the insiders.

Jets (4-4) @ Bengals (6-2) 9-49

I thought I typed the score incorrectly… nope. Wow.

Falcons (2-5) @ Cardinals (4-4) 13-27

How are the Falcons so bad?

Redskins (2-6) @ Broncos (7-1) 21-45

Peyton had 3 interceptions and the Broncos still beat their opponents soundly. The Redskins are BAD! YAY!

Packers (5-2) @ Vikings (1-6) 44-31

Even with most of the Packers injured I just knew they would win.

Seahawks (7-1) @ Rams (3-5) 14-9

Wow, I watched this game and I thought that the Rams were really going to pull an upset. Too bad, so sad.  

WEEK 9

Thursday October 31^st  

Bengals (6-2) @ Dolphins (3-4) [8:25pm NFLN]

Taking the Bengals.

Sunday November 3^rd   

Falcons (2-5) @ Panthers (4-3) [1pm FOX]

 I’ve got to take the Panthers at home.  

Vikings (1-6) @ Cowboys (4-4) [1pm FOX]

I’ll be rooting for the Vikings, hoping they’ll win but I’m going to have to pick the Cowboys to win.

Saints (6-1) @ Jets (4-4) [1pm FOX]

I’m picking the Saints for the win, the Jets were embarrassing last weekend.

Titans (3-4) @ Rams (3-5) [1pm CBS]

Tough call, the Rams almost beat the Seahawks last week…  I think I’m going to pick the Titans for the win.

Chiefs (8-0) @ Bills (3-5) [1pm CBS]

 Taking the Chiefs, sorry Bills fans.

Chargers (4-3) @ Redskins (2-5) [1pm CBS]

I’m pulling for and picking the Chargers

Eagles (3-5) @ Raiders (3-4) [4:05pm FOX]

Going with the Raiders for more than one reason.

Buccaneers (0-7) @ Seahawks (7-1) [4:05pm FOX]

Ha! I’m going with the Seahawks

Ravens (3-4) @ Browns (3-5) [4:25pm CBS]

Upset of the week… I’m picking the Browns

Steelers (2-5) @ Patriots (6-2) [4:25pm CBS]

I was listening to sports radio today and they were talking about how awful Tom Brady’s been the past few weeks. It was awesome. PS I’m picking the Patriots to win this one.

Colts (5-2) @ Texans (2-5) [8:30pm NBC]

Picking the Colts.

Monday November 4^th

Bears (4-3) @ Packers (5-2) [8:40pm ESPN]

Go Pack Go! I’m picking Green Bay.

If you are a Broncos, Jaguars, Giants, Lions, Cardinals,  or 49ers fan you’re in luck…. Your team won’t lose this week!

BYE: Broncos, Jaguars, Giants, Lions, Cardinals, 49ers
