NFL Week 9 Bettors Guide.

Had an atrocious week last week to put me below .500 ATS for the first time this season.

Last Week: 7-6 straight up & 3-10 against the spread
Overall: 66-34 straight up & 49-50-1 against the spread

Miami Dolphins (+10.5) @ New England Patriots: Pats have been world beaters the past two weeks...albeit it has been against the Bucs and Titans and they are fresh off of a bye. Meanwhile, if it wasn't for Ted Ginn Jr, the Dolphins would have gotten rocked by my Jets. Sounds like a mismatch...but this is a team that gives others fits. New England 27 Miami 20

Kansas City Chiefs (+6.5) @ Jacksonville Jaguars: I hate Jaguars games with a passion. When you think they'll win...they lose or struggle. When you think they'll get rocked...they win or put up a fight. The Chiefs try hard and with Jekyll and Hyde in the house they may very well pull this one out. Kansas City 23 Jacksonville 20- OT

Baltimore Ravens @ Cincinnati Bengals (-3): The Bengals own the Ravens for some reason...and they have proven they are for real. The Ravens are no slouch either and put Denver in their place...but all that did was expose who Denver is- smoke and mirrors. A high scoring game but the Bengals come out on top. Cincinnati 28 Baltimore 24

Green Bay Packers (-9.5) @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Angry Packers team + Worst Team in NFL= oy. Green Bay 31 Tampa Bay 10

Arizona Cardinals (+3) @ Chicago Bears: They are who we thought they were! Or are they? The Bears are as average as they come...but they did lay the smackdown on the Browns. The Cardinals looked horrible against a Panthers teams looking for redemption and it's also hard to get a read on them. I just have more trust though in a team like Arizona to get up in a game like this. Arizona 24 Chicago 21

Washington Redskins @ Atlanta Falcons (-10): Ugh. Atlanta 24 Washington 9

Houston Texans (+9) @ Indianapolis Colts: The Colts aren't invincible...as the 49ers proved last week. The Texans look better every week...but were dealt a huge blow with the loss of Owen Daniels for the season. Nevertheless they always get up to face the class of the AFC South and a win here will serve notice to the rest of the NFL. Do they do it here...no. Do they earn respect tho? Absolutely. Indianapolis 31 Houston 24

Carolina Panthers (+13) @ New Orleans Saints: You ever had a weird feeling about a game? The Panthers swept the Saints last year, and actually held them to 7 points last year in a game. SEVEN. The Saints have never had this much attention squared on them before and the Panthers after making a statement in Arizona last week are gonna be feeling high for this one. Upset City. Carolina 30 New Orleans 27

Detroit Lions @ Seattle Seahawks (-10): Shakes head. Seattle 31 Detroit 10

Tennessee Titans @ San Francisco 49ers (-4.5): Titans actually looked good last week. Which 49ers team will show up however? They've given the Texans and Colts fits and those are the better teams in the AFC South. The Titans...not so much tho. San Francisco 27 Tennessee 14

San Diego Chargers @ New York Giants (-4.5): Schizophrenia meets Slump. With the Chargers traveling east you cannot trust them. NY Giants 27 San Diego 21

Dallas Cowboys @ Philadelphia Eagles (-3): TAKE THE OVER. Philadelphia 34 Dallas 27

Pittsburgh Steelers (-3) @ Denver Broncos: The Broncos get these magical Mile High Powers but not Monday Night. Pittsburgh 24 Denver 16

And so on.
