Week 9 NFL Picks - Danny

NFL Week 9 Selections – Danny

 

Denver @ Cincinnati +5

Upset special of the week?  Maybe, but I definitely think the Bengals hand tight in this one coming off a bye week with extra time to prepare.   This will be a good test for Peyton because the Bengals rush the passer as well as anyone in the league.

Pick – Cincinnati 27 – Denver 24

 

Arizona @ Green Bay -10

Pick – Packers 24 – Cardinals 13

 

Miami @ Indianapolis +1.5

Pick – Dolphins 20 – Colts 17

 

Baltimore @ Cleveland +4

****LOCK OF THE WEEK****

The Ravens are coming off a bye week following their horrible loss to the Texans two weeks ago.  The Browns are coming off a big win against San Diego last week (7-6 at home…not big score wise) but now they host the Ravens the week before their bye week.  The stats on teams going into their bye weeks are astonishing.  They are losing 70% of the games and against the spread they lost 75% of the time.  This is a 7-10 point win for the Ravens.  I would bet the house on this one ladies and gentlemen.  Weeden will get his first taste of Ed Reed on Sunday, INTERCEPTION lock.

Pick – Ravens 27 – Browns 13

 

Buffalo @ Houston -10.5

Pick – Texans 27 – Bills 23

 

Carolina @ Washington -3

Pick – Redskins 30 – Panthers 28

 

Detroit @ Jacksonville +6

Pick – Lions 30 – 17

 

Chicago @ Tennessee +4

***LOCK****

The Titans have the  arguably the worst defense in the league, with a struggling offense as well.  They will not get it done against the best defense in the NFL that will shut down Chris Johnson and take a few years off the life of the aging quarterback behind center for Tennessee.

Pick – Bears 24 – Titans 13

 

Minnesota @ Seattle -4

Pick – Seahawks 20 – Vikings 12

 

Tampa Bay @ Oakland -2

Pick – Buccaneers 30 – Raiders 24

 

Pittsburgh @ New York Giants -3

Pick – Steelers 27 -  Giants 24

 

Dallas @ Atlanta -3.5

Pick – Falcons 17 – Cowboys 16

 

Philadelphia @ New Orleans -3

Pick – Eagles 34 – Saints 24
