Regular Season Week 9

We had a great trip to DC so there wasn’t a lot of football watching last weekend. I was able to catch the Thursday night game, most of the Sunday morning game, and the Monday night game. Needless to say, I watched more baseball than football #worldseries. I stayed up to watch game seven of the series last night and man oh man am I tired, and glad baseball is over. Congrats to the Cubbies, the curse of the Billy goat has been broken. Now, back to football. There were three games this past week that went into overtime and one ended in a tie. This really messed up my picks and I went 8-5. I did win in fantasy and am currently in 4^th place in my league, not bad for a 4-4 record. Anyway, let’s recap week eight.

Jaguars @ Titans 22-36

This score is deceiving because the game was much more lopsided.  The Titans looked like they were playing a college team (and not a good one)

Redskins @ Bengals 27-27 OT

This was the only game on Sunday I actually got to watch and I’m so glad we did. We went out to brunch in DC and were surrounded by a sea of Redskins fans. (I was kicking myself for not wearing my Giants t-shirt out) When the game went into overtime emotions were running high all around and then it seemed like there were a million turnovers. Dustin Hopkins had kicked the game winning field goal only to find out that the Bengals had called a timeout in attempt to ice the kicker. It worked, I called a wide left from my seat and was probably the only one in the building that was happy about it. All the air seemed to go out of the restaurant, we finished our meal and left.

Cardinals @ Panthers 20-30

It only took 8 weeks but the Panthers finally looked like the Panthers.

Chiefs @ Colts 30-14

The Chiefs routed the Colts with their second string QB. The Colts are horrible.  

Seahawks @ Saints 20-25

The Seahawks are killing me. I can’t believe they lost to the Saints!!! SMH

Raiders @ Buccaneers 30-24 OT

Raiders are still rolling.

Lions @ Texans 13-20

Brock had a good day; therefore the Texans had a good day and beat the Lions.  

Patriots @ Bills 41-25

This shouldn’t shock anyone.

Jets @ Browns 31-28

Maybe some of the Browns players were able to go the World Series so they can know what it’s like to make it to the post season…

Chargers @ Broncos 19-27

The Broncos defense is amazing. The end.

Packers @ Falcons 32-33

Ouch.  

Eagles @ Cowboys 23-29 OT

I almost got my tie…

Vikings @ Bears 10-20

Stupid Vikings, messing up my picks.  

WEEK 9

Thursday, November 3^rd

Falcons (5-3) @ Buccaneers (3-4) [8:25pm NFLN]

Even though the Falcons have the better record they have lost their last three games. I’m still going to pick them to win, though I wouldn’t be surprised if they lost to the Bucs. Thursday Night Football seems to be a waste of time.

Sunday, November 6^th  

Lions (4-4) @ Vikings (5-2) [1pm FOX]

Vikings OC, Norv Turner, has resigned after losing two games. I’m still picking the Vikings to win this game.

Eagles (4-3) @ NY Giants (4-3) [1pm FOX]

 I hate Eagles/Giants games; too many painful memories. The Giants are coming off their bye and theoretically could win this game, I hope they do, but I’m picking the Eagles and hoping (and praying) I’m wrong.  

Jets (3-5) @ Dolphins (3-4)  [1pm CBS]

I’m going with the Dolphins at home.

Jaguars (2-5) @ Chiefs (5-2) [1pm CBS]

I’m picking the Chiefs to win this game.

Cowboys (6-1) @ Browns (0-8) [1pm FOX]

 Watch, this will be the only game the Browns win this season. They’ll do it for Cleveland after the loss of the World Series. But, I’m picking the Cowboys.

Steelers (4-3) @ Ravens (3-4) [1pm CBS]

I’m picking the Steelers, there’s a good possibility that Big Ben will be back.

Saints (3-4) @ 49ers (1-6) [4:05pm FOX]

I’m going with the Saints.  

Panthers (2-5) @ Rams (3-4) [4:05pm FOX]

I’m picking the Panthers. I think they finally figured out what to do to win.

Colts (3-5) @ Packers (4-3) [4:25pm CBS]

 I’m picking the Packers.

Titans (4-4) @ Chargers (3-5) [4:25pm CBS]

I’m taking the Titans.

Broncos (6-2) @ Raiders (6-2) [8:30pm NBC]

Both teams are 6-2 going into this game but I think it’ll be the Broncos that come out on top.

Monday, November 7^th

Bill (4-4) @ Seahawks (4-2-1) [8:30pm ESPN]

I’m picking the Bills…  I’m not sure why.

BYE: Patriots, Bengals, Texans, Redskins, Bears, Cardinals

GO GMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the edit Eric!!
