Week 9 predictions

First off, I would like to give a shout out to my Boston Red Sox for winning the 2013 World Series! It was a great series against the St. Louis Cardinals and provided one of the most memorable plays in World Series history, the obstruction call in Game 3. The Red Sox were picked by most people to finish dead last in their division this year. Considering the Bobby Valentine season last year, the beer and chicken incidents and the collapse in September of 2011, this was a dramatic change for a storied franchise. This team had a lot of grinder players that played hard everyday and just wanted to win. It was a lot of fun to watch them all year long and even better when they raised the World Series trophy on Wednesday October 30. Boston Strong!!

     

                     Here are my NFL predictions for Week 9:


Kansas City Chiefs @ Buffalo Bills
The Chiefs are 8-0 and looking to take advantage of an injured Bills team. The Chiefs defense will play well and cause havoc for whoever starts at QB for Buffalo. Jamaal Charles will be the star of the game and Alex Smith will manage the offense like he has done all season. The Bills have scored a lot of points this season, but the Chiefs defense is solid and will slow them down.
Chiefs 24, Bills 13

Minnesota Vikings @ Dallas Cowboys
The Vikings are weak at the Quarterback position and Dallas will take advantage of that. I feel bad for Adrian Peterson and hopes he goes to a better team someday. Romo and his offense will have a break out game and run the score up. It will be a fun day in Big D.
Cowboys 34, Vikings 10

Tennessee Titans @ St. Louis Rams
The Titans have played good football this year and look to take advantage of an injured Rams team. The Rams defense played great against Seattle last Monday, but won't be as good this Sunday. Jake Locker returns at quarterback for the Titans and will have a great game. The Tennessee defense will shut down a weak Rams offense and cause them to commit several turnovers.
Titans 24, Rams 13

New Orleans Saints @ New York Jets
This could be a trap game for the Saints because they have games against Seattle and San Francisco coming up. Drew Brees and Jimmy Graham are unstoppable and look for Darren Sproles to play a huge role in this match up. The surprise Jets have a great front line on defense and feed off the fans at MetLife stadium. Look for the Jets to keep this a closer game thank most think until the 4th quarter. The Saints defense will make a few plays that will give them the win in New York.
Saints 27, Jets 14

Pittsburgh Steelers @ New England Patriots
Will the Pittsburgh offense finally break out? Tom Brady is so good but  his young receivers will have a tough time against a stiff Steeler defense. The Patriot defense will play well and do enough to make Big Ben and the Pittsburgh offense uncomfortable. Somehow, someway the Patriots, like always, will win the game.
Patriots 20, Steelers 13

  The rest of my predictions are:

- Washington Redskins 27, San Diego Chargers 24

- Carolina Panthers 30, Atlanta Falcons 13

- Oakland Raiders 23, Philadelphia Eagles 13

- Seattle Seahawks 30, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 6

- Cleveland Browns 17, Baltimore Ravens 10

- Indianapolis Colts 24, Houston Texans 13

- Green Bay Packers 34, Chicago Bears 17
