It's Week 9 in the NFL

Bengals-Dolphins is a pretty solid Thursday night game.

Case Keenum gets his first start on Sunday Night Football against the Colts. That won't end well.

Again, there's no great matchup, but a couple that have the potential to get interesting... Chargers-Redskins could be interesting. Raiders-Eagles could be interesting.

Bears-Packers would be a lot more interesting if Cutler was healthy.

Bucs at Seattle, I'm guessing that's everybody's suicide pool pick, unless you had the Seahawks in Week 1 over the Panthers...

With all the injuries to their D last week, and a short week to get the replacements up to speed, added to the fact that the Bengals D has been much better at home than on the road, I like the Dolphins outright on Thursday.

A bold pick indeed.

I think Keenum will be fine. The extra week to prepare should help him and I don't think Indianapolis' defense is anything beyond average.

When I watched Keenum in his senior year at the University of Houston, I told a couple of people he could be a legitimate NFL quarterback in the right system. From a passing standpoint. Good arm and good accuracy. Was surprised he wasn't drafted. Whether he has all the intangibles to be an NFL quarterback, awfully early to say?

Greatest OP ever.

The way the Steelers rush the passer, the Patriots are going to get very tired running up and down the field. Take the over.

Interesting game in the Meadowlands, where Rob Ryan gets to game-plan against his bro.

Not sure what to make of the Jets. They've won a couple of games they had no business winning, but they've looked awful in a few others. Could be a trap game from the Saints, if they're not careful.

rex May do enough to keep his job and doom the Jets

Games will be played Thursday, Sunday and Monday. Take it to the bank.

Panthers vs. Falcons in an interesting NFC South match-up.

What is interesting about the 2-5 Falcons?

I don't think too many people believe they're as bad as their record. Just two weeks ago, the Falcons won a game convincingly. Once Roddy White comes back, too, they could very well make a run at a playoff berth.

Surprised there weren't more deals considering the amount of injuries this year and how many teams can write off the playoffs.

Surprised there weren't more deals considering the amount of injuries this year and how many teams can write off the playoffs.

Part of the reason there is less movement is because teams don't want to forfeit the compensatory picks that they get when these guys leave via free agency.

It's not a huge deal, but it would be cool if they fixed this, so there was more movement before the deadline.

I'm predicting Seattle looks ****ing invincible this week. I haven't checked who they're playing yet.

That and the reality is only the Vikings, Bucs and Jags are really out of the playoff hunt. Outside a couple teams, each conference has a whole bunch of mediocrity.

No one is that optimistic.

Where's everyone rank Dez Bryant among current receivers? All things considered.

How many (and which) others would you take before Bryant?
