2016 NFL Week 9 Predictions

Week 9 Predictions:

Falcons -4.5 over Bucs, 27-16

-Bucs’ season may start to fall apart here. I’m not sure Jameis is good, and their running game is falling apart a little bit. Could be a big Julio game here.

Ravens -2.5 over Steelers, 20-16

-Assuming Ben doesn’t play, or plays injured.

Cowboys -7 over Browns, 24-10

-Boring, run, win, move along.

Jags +7.5 over Chiefs, 23-24

-Too many points versus a team potentially on a backup QB and 3^rd string RB.

Fins -3.5 over Jets, 21-13

-Absolutely no confidence in this pick. No idea. Just picking against Fitzpatrick here. Moving right along….

Lions +6 over Vikings, 20-16

-Vikings are suddenly having trouble scoring, and the Lions will do some of that. That will keep this close enough to cover the line.

Eagles +2.5 over Giants, 23-21

-I still believe this Eagles team is better overall, and they concentrate on eliminating Beckham and making the Giants run.

Panthers -3 over Rams, 24-13

-Panthers are finding their offensive rhythm again, and the Rams never had one. Goff me please.

Saints -4 over Niners, 30-20

-This should be an easy one. Should.

Packers -7 over Colts, 35-20

-Rodger is humming now, and the Colts just aren’t a good team.

Chargers -4 over Titans, 28-23

-Chargers have a stronger dynamic ability to score and make plays, and thus take this game.

Raiders -1.5 over Broncos, 23-20

-The Broncos’ limited air attack should finally get revealed as they have to score to compete with a Raiders attack that will find ways to produce points against even this tough Denver defense.

Seahawks -6.5 over Buffalo, 22-10

-My only nervousness about this one is that Seattle cannot score well enough to cover. But this should be the point in the season in which Seattle starts going upwards and the Bills really turn downward.
