NFL Week 9 thread

1 p.m.
SF at Atlanta

Denver at Detroit
Green Bay at Kansas City
SD at Minnesota
JAX at New Orleans
Washington at NYJ
Arizona at TB
Carolina at Tennessee

3 p.m.
New England at Indy

Monday night
Baltimore at Pittsburgh

Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I'm thinking the Colts have a shot against Coach Hoodie and the Pats.

 

I think it's wishful thinking, Doc.

And why is Kansas City a three-point favorite against Green Bay? Is it the two-week layoff coupled with Green Bay's Monday night game?

 

Colts are the SB champs.

They have not lost.

They are motivated (disrespected).

They will have a loud, rabid crowd behind them.

Their headphones will work.

I think they should be favored.

 

Yea, I have to think that's the reasoning, and GB's inability to run the ball (Monday's game was against the worst rush defense in the league).

However, GB is 8-3 in road games under McCarthy, including wins in the last five.

 

Except they are not, because the Patriots are a better team. Not to say the Colts can't win, but right now New England has to be favored against any opponent.

 

Not lost in all this is TO's return to Philly again. Hopefully he'll get his revenge tomorrow, at least for my sanity

 

My picks. As always, best best in bold.

1 p.m.

SF
Buffalo
Detroit
Green Bay
SD
New Orleans
Washington
TB
Tennessee
4:15 p.m.
Indy
Oakland
Cleveland
8 p.m.
Dallas
Monday night
Pittsburgh

 

I would be surprised if the Pats didn't win by 20.

I'd be thrilled if they lost, but I don't see it happening. Maybe not until 2008.

 

Maybe I'm hoping against hope, but I hope the classy Colts kick the shit out of Team Run Up The Score.

 

One high ankle sprain by Moss makes NE a defendable team again.

 

Or one torn knee ligament by Brady.

 

And that happens during a blowout, when The Hoodie-wearing Homewrecker has Brady throwing in the fourth quarter, up 20 on some team.
