Week 9

So far the biggest surprises at the midway point of the season are easy to call.
The team that has exceeded all expectations are the Tampa Bay Bucaneers and the biggest disappointment of course is the Dallas Cowboys. I'm very embarrassed that I picked them to make it to the superbowl. The Cowboys just need to look across the street to the Ball Park in Arlington to see how a professional team plays when they are run properly.
Here are my picks this week.

Atlanta 23 Bucs 20 (7). Bucaneers will come down to earth this week. W
Bears 17 Bills 10 (3) . If the Bears were playing any other team I doubt I would pick them. W
Patriots 35 Browns 7 (13). Patriots are currently playing like the best team in the NFL L
Jets 28 Lions 14 (11). Jets rebound from a tough loss last week. W
Saints 30 Panthers 17 (12). Saints are finally getting over their superbowl hangover. W
Ravens 20 Dolphins 10 (2). Tough one to call but the Ravens defense should handle Miami's offense. W
Chargers 24 Texans 20 (5).Texans are overrated. W
Cardinals 28 Vikings 17 (4). Vikings downward spiral goes further. L
Giants 30 Seahawks 17 (8). Giants make a push to show they are the team to beat in the NFC. W
Eagles 21 Colts 17 (1). Toughest game to pick. Since the Colts have key players injured on offense, I'll take the home team. W
Raiders 24 Chiefs 14 (6). Raiders get better each week. W
Green Bay 31 Dallas 18 (9). Green Bay has injuries on offense and the Cowboys will make their back ups look like all pros. W
Steelers 27 Bengals 14 (10). If it weren't for the Cowboys, the Bengals would be the most disappointing team in the NFL. W
