Steelers Gab NFL Week Nine Picks

Here we go with a big NFL week 9, as there’s big games all across the board, as well as the Steelers and Patriots, which we will cover in our official preview.

For now, here is the picks for the rest of the games in the NFL this weekend.

This week the Steelers have the daunting task of going to a place they don’t normally play well – New England.

As a matter a fact, they have never beaten the Pats with Tom Brady at QB, and that’s the task they will face Sunday against the 6-2 Patriots.

Today we take a look at the big matchups, as well as give our final score prediction for the contest.

Kansas City at Buffalo – The Chiefs are getting the benefit of a soft schedule, and again they are playing a team that is beat up and just not all that good. The Chiefs win going away. Kansas City 27 Buffalo 13

Tennessee at St. Louis – Remember when this was a Super Bowl? Yeah, both teams are a very long way away, and this game will be a snooze fest between two teams that are ugly. St.Louis 17 Tennessee 16

San Diego at Washington – The Skins are 2-5, but are still dangerous at home, and I think the Chargers, who are traveling east, won’t be able to slow down RG3 enough to hold them down to take home a win. Washington 27 San Diego 17

Atlanta at Carolina – What happened to the Falcons? Unreal how bad they have fallen from a near Super Bowl a year ago. Against Cam and the Panthers, I think Carolina continues to show they are improving, and they will send the Falcons home with another loss. Carolina 30 Atlanta 27

Minnesota at Dallas – The Cowboys should have beat the Lions last week, but this week they go against a Vikings team that is just downright bad. Look for the Boys to get back on track with a big win over a bad Minnesota team. Dallas 34 Minnesota 19

New Orleans at NY Jets – Interesting game, can Drew Brees and the Saints go on the road and lay down another win? I think so, despite a Jets team that has shown fight as of late, I think the Saints are just too good to lose here. New Orleans 26 New York Jets 10

Tampa Bay at Seattle – The Hawks are so good at home, and while the Bucs are not very good anyway, I think the Hawks are going to be playing for a Lombardi in February, they won’t lose here. Seattle 35 Tampa Bay 14

Philadelphia at Oakland – The Raiders showed at home they are tough, and against a flat Chip Kelly offense, the silver and black will once again take down another foe at home. Oakland 21 Philadelphia 10

Baltimore at Cleveland – The Ravens say things have changed coming off the bye, and while they are still nowhere near the team that won the Super Bowl, they still will beat up the Browns who are trying to hold off the Steelers for last in the AFC North. Baltimore 24 Cleveland 17

Indianapolis at Houston – It’s do or die for the Texans, who have been a bust this season. The Colts still seem to have the Eye of the Tiger, and I think here they go for the kill on prime-time. Indianapolis 29 Houston 23

Monday:

Chicago at Green Bay – Two very banged up teams go at it on Monday night in Green Bay, and while I think the Bears will hang around, can’t go against the Pack at home with Aaron Rodgers. Green Bay 20 Chicago 12
