NFL Week 9 Picks

4-2 vs the spread last week, 27-26 for the year. . .

Atlanta -3.5 at Tampa Bay: The Falcons are coming off a big crossroads win over Green Bay which should put them on the path to a Division title.  The Buccaneers did the impossible last week: lost a game in which their opponent was flagged 23 times for 200 yards.  The biggest problem for the Bucs is their QB isn't as good as they thought he was gonna be.  Some games he looks like an All-Pro, other games he looks like Case Keenum. . .in other words, he's a nigger version of Ryan Fitzpatrick.  Atlanta.      

Pittsburgh EVEN at Baltimore: This game used to be must-watch NFL, but the Ravens roster has deteriorated badly, and while the Steelers still have Super Bowl talent, their QB limps on and off the field almost as much as Reggie Bush did.  Supposedly old Big Ben is gonna give it a shot Sunday, but, really, the Steelers could win this game with Landry Jones. . .but, oh yeah, I forgot the Steelers are coached by nigger Mike Tomlin, who somehow always manages to find a way to get his team to play below their potential.  Pittsburgh. 

Detroit +7 at Minnesota: Man, what happens if the Vikings lose this game??  Mike Zimmer blew a gasket two weeks ago after Minny lost their first game to an Eagles team that blew apart their crummy O-Line, and then he must have shit in Norv Turner's mouth after the Bears punked them last week, because out of the blue the old journeyman coach Norv up and quits on Zimmer and the Vikings. . .quits right in the middle of a season that still could end in a Super Bowl run.  Zimmer has to be one A-1 prick to work for if a lifer coach like Norv quits when you're sitting 5-2.  Zimmer needs to take a realistic look at his offense: the O-Line is filled with scrap heap parts, Teddy Bridgewater (who wasn't Johnny Unitas, to begin with) and #28 are out for the year, the receivers are mediocre, and you had to get the cast-off faggot Samantha Bradford to girl-throw the ball.   What did Zimmer expect Norv Turner to do with that crap?  You can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit.  What Zimmer really should be worrying about is the way his defense got run over by the Bears rookie running back Jordan Howard.  The Vikings are gonna live and die on their defense, and if it's already cracking from the strain of having to carry the faggot Bradford, then that's where Zimmer needs to stick his nose, not in Norv Turner's face.  This is probably the best week for Dee-troit to play the Vikings, while they are in mini-turmoil.  I don't see the Lions being able to run the ball like the Bears did, but Matt Stafford only needs a couple scores for the Lions to beat the spread.  Vikings will win, but won't cover.  Detroit.

New Orleans -3 at San Francisco: The Saints have won three of their last four, and have crawled back into the NFC South race. Now they get to play the NFC's worst team, so they'll look like contenders for one more week.  After this game, expect the Saints to start losing again.  The 49ers are hopeless, only a great professional football coach could get this team, with its two shitty QBs (Blame Gabbert and Colin Halfernigger) to be even mediocre, and Chip Kelly ain't a great professional football coach. . .that must be obvious even to him, now, and I suspect he's planning his return to college (Texas? LSU? USC? Oregon Part II?) while he goes through the motions of what will probably be a 2-14 season.  The line on this game is a joke.  Bet the house on the Saints.  New Orleans.

Denver EVEN at Oakland: Just like the old days, the Raiders and Broncos battling it out for the AFC West Division.  The Raiders pulled off one of the most improbable wins in NFL history last week, overcoming the zebras who were trying to fix the game for Tampa while tossing 23 flags at them, AND they had to survive two late missed field goal attempts from their pollack kicker.  Derek Carr had one of the All-Time great games.  Flag after flag came raining down on him, but he just kept throwing darts, and ended up with a 500 yard/4 TD game.  Carr might be, he just might be the #2 QB in the League behind the Legend, Tom Brady.  Denver's defense is 10x better than the Raiders. . .but with their shitty offense, their defense would have to be 20x better for the Broncos to win. Carr is the difference.  Oakland.
