NFL Predictions: Week 9

Not a bad week, but four huge misses with the Packers, Jets, Lions and Titans all losing by a lot. Still solid, and next week there are some good spreads so hopefully we can pick up some momentum with a winning week.
Last Week: 6-6-2
Overall: 60-54-5

Cleveland Browns @ Cincinnati Bengals (CIN -12) -> Cincinnati Bengals
Oakland Raiders @ Pittsburgh Steelers (PIT -4.5) -> Oakland Raiders
Jacksonville Jaguars @ New York Jets (NYJ -7.5) -> New York Jets
St. Louis Rams @ Minnesota Vikings (MIN -2) -> Minnesota Vikings
Miami Dolphins @ Buffalo Bills (BUF -3) -> Miami Dolphins
Tennessee Titans @ New Orleans Saints (NO -8) -> New Orleans Saints
Washington Redskins @ New England Patriots (NE -14) -> New England Patriots
Green Bay Packers @ Carolina Panthers (GB -2.5) -> Green Bay Packers
Atlanta Falcons @ San Fransisco 49ers (ATL -7) -> Atlanta Falcons
New York Giants @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers (NYG -2.5) -> Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Denver Broncos @ Indianapolis Colts (DEN -5) -> Denver Broncos
Philadelphia Eagles @ Dallas Cowboys (PHI -2.5) -> Philadelphia Eagles
Chicago Bears @ San Diego Chargers (SD -4) -> San Diego Chargers

A couple notes...
- I haven't been able to get a Falcons pick right for a few weeks now, but San Fransisco has been atrocious as of late, so I think the Falcons should pull through this week and cover the spread.
- Oakland vs. Pittsburgh should be a great game, as the Raiders have proven to me that they are for real. I think this game will end up being a toss up, as both these teams have great offenses, but it should be close between them.
- The undefeated Bengals against Johnny F****** Football in week 9 on Thursday night. Just like we all drew up this past offseason right? Should be a slaughter by the Bengals, but for some reason that makes me think it will be close. Still putting my money on Cincinnati though.
- Green Bay vs. Carolina, hell yeah! That's what Sunday's should be. I'm expecting Green Bay to come out and try and punch Carolina in the mouth. Mainly so they can get the taste of blood out of their respective mouth's after Denver destroyed them in all facets of the game. Either way, two great teams facing off is what every football fan should want.
- Speaking of marquee games, the undefeated Broncos are facing off against the struggling Colts, but Manning is on the verge of breaking a huge record (passing yards), and it seems fitting that he would do it against his old team.
- Another toss-up for me, St. Louis against Minnesota, should be a hard hitting game. St. Louis' D-line matches up extremely well against Minnesota's O-line, but I think Minnesota's D is more well-rounded and will feast on Nick Foles. They're also at home, so that makes me lean there way. Either way, Gurley vs. Peterson should be incredibly exciting.
