NFL Week 9 Predictions

Green Bay at Tennessee - The Packers' defense is listed towards the bottom of the league against the run. The Titans' rushing offense is third-best in the league.
Tampa Bay at Kansas City - Tampa Bay's offense struggled in Dallas' red zone last week, but the Chiefs' overall D is 31st in the NFL. Earnest Graham and Warrick Dunn especially should have a good day running all over the Chiefs' last-place rushing defense.
Baltimore at Cleveland - The Browns have managed wins against the defending Super Bowl champions and the Jaguars in their last three games, but they just don't have the offensive juice to top one of the best defenses in the league.
Detroit at Chicago - After Bill Parcells rebuilds the Dolphins he can move to Detroit to help the terrible Lions.
New York Jets at Buffalo - It's Brett Favre, man.
Jacksonville at Cincinnati - The Jaguars have struggled this year so far, but playing the Bungles should give them a shot at recovering.
Houston at Minnesota - Who cares?
Arizona at St. Louis - The Cards haven't played well on the road this season, but they should be able to score a 'W' against the Rams.
Miami at Denver - The Dolphins might go 8-8 this year, but they're not getting a win here.
Atlanta at Oakland - Atlanta threw Matt Flynn into the fray too soon in his career, and that will be evident again this week.
Dallas at New York Giants - It looks like Brad Johnson is starting again. The Giants love defensive wizardry when it comes to blitz packages which should allow another close victory for them.
Philadelphia at Seattle - Donovan McNabb looked like vintage No. 5 last week and the Seahawks are collapsing like a poorly-made flan.
New England at Indianapolis - No pick. I hate the Patriots and cannot bring myself to predict them winning. At the same time, I don't think Indy can win this one. Call it a 17-17 tie.

Monday
Pittsburgh at Washington - Did you know that the Redskins predict presidential elections? It's true. If the 'Skins win their last home game before an election, the incumbent party stays in power. If they lose, the challenger takes office. That's been the case 94.4% of the time, going back to 1936 (the year John McCain was born). Of course, in 2004 the 'Skins lost at home to the Packers and George W. Bush stayed in the White House, so who knows?
