This is by far the worst I've done in a season so far. I'll throw out a spoiler. After this week, I'm 60-66. For comparison, last year, after week 9, I picked 72 games right. That's an average of picking 1.33 games per week right. Ouch. Anyway, here we go.

• New York Jets 17 (-3), Buffalo 22: This was a shock to me, but looking over the schedule this week, only five favorites covered, and only six won. Parody at it's finest! Oh wait. It's parity. Not parody.
• Philadelphia 3 (-1), Pittsburgh 27: The Steelers rocked the Eagles. I said it a while ago - I'm on the Steeler bandwagon, and I meant it. I just didn't think they were that good - beat two undefeateds in a row. Very nice. The '72 Dolfins say thank you.
• Washington 17, Detroit 10 (-3): The talk on the local shows is that Harrington can't handle the crowd at home. Detroit is really hard on quarterbacks, but he needs to have thicker skin than that. But this would explain why Detroit is better on the road than at home, though.
• Dallas 3 (-1), Cincinnati 26: The Bengals dominated the Cowboys. Seven turnovers? Seriously? Isn't this the second time Dallas has had a very high turnover number?
• Oakland 27, Carolina 24 (-6.5): I still can't get over how far these two teams have fallen. Well, Carolina, maybe. They were a flash in the pan (just like the Hurricanes in hockey), but I thought Oakland would be better than this.
• Arizona 24, Miami 23 (-3): Miami becomes the first team to fire a coach during the season after winning 10 or more games in the previous season. Now, the only remaining question is when Steve Spurrier is announced as the new coach.
• Kansas City 31 (-3), Tampa Bay 34: KC goes from on track to losing to the Bucs in one week. What a rollercoaster season they are having.
• Chicago 28, New York Giants 21 (-9): The Giants' trip through the NFC North hasn't been the best. They won a game they shouldn't have, and then lost two they should have won. And I should have known - Chicago as a nine point dog is now 3-1 against the spread. Pretty good. And they've won two of those three.
• Seattle 42 (-7), San Francisco 27: Seattle is back on track. Maybe. It was the 49ers after all. I guess we'll see next week.
• New Orleans 17, San Diego 43 (-6): Drew Brees for league MVP? Doesn't sound possible, but it could be the case if he continues. Given the Vikings / Colts match up, who picked San Diego to score the most points this week?
• New England 40 (-2.5), St. Louis 22: I watched some of this one. Apparently Tom Brady relayed an experience he had in college to the Patriots coaching staff. You see, the play where Vinatieri through the touchdown pass - you know, when Troy Brown (why was he playing defense, too?) acted like he was leaveing the field and then caught a TD? Well MSU ran that same play against Michigan, and scored then too. At least he's not bitter!
• Houston 13, Denver 31 (-5.5): Denver stomped on Houston. Was this an anomoly for Houston, or are they coming back down to earth?
• Cleveland 13, Baltimore 27 (-6): Baltimore was all over Cleveland, and in my mind, Cleveland wasn't really in this one (at least the part I saw).
• Minnesota 28, Indianapolis 31 (-6): This didn't live up to the hype in my mind. But they rarely do. Don't get me wrong - it was a good game to watch, but it wasn't the offensive shoot out it was made out to be. Yeah, Manning had four TDs, but I was hoping for a combined point total of over 80. Instead, we barely hit 60.

I already stated I did poorly, so let's just show the results and get out of here. Maybe a little XBox to relax? No Halo 2, but it's still fun to play!
