    Underdogs To Check for Week 9

    Underdogs in bold


    Carolina at Tenn

    The Panthers are 4-0 on the road and the Tenn has not been impressive in my opinion. They should have lost to Atl and Oak at home plus the Panthers can stop the run and make life miserable for Young.



    Jacksonville at New Orleans


    The Saints have won 3 straight but they still can't run the ball. I can't see Brees droping back and throwing the ball 35-45 times against Jacksonville's pass rush. Jacksonville will just line up and run with Taylor and Drews-Jone and Gray will make enough passes against that suspect secondary.



    Denver at Detroit


    Detroit appears to have turned the corner on offense know that the they are getting Kevin Jones involved in the running the game, but I still don't trust their defense. I see Denver doing anything they want on offense. Remeber this is the same defense that let Philly score 56, Jason Campbell look like Peyton Manning and Earnest Graham look like LT



    Seattle at Clevland


    The Browns look good on offense but they still struggle to run the ball and D Anderson who has been playing well is prone to throwing ints and is average against tough defenses. I see Seattle doing what ever they want on offense because the Browns defense is horrible



    NE at Indy


    No need to explain. There are enough threads about this game.

    My favorite dog pick in my preliminary look is Cardinal @ Buccs
    I still got a lot of work to do on break downs though so perhaps my mind will change.

    There are other games being played this week besides the Pats/Colts? I thought the rest were canceled, ESPN is only covering them so I thought the rest were postponed.

    In any case, I don't know that now is the time to fade the Lions. Wow I never thought I'd say that. It appears Jon Kitna has actually got his Nostradamus cap on and is deadset to reach 10 wins. No opinion on others at the moment.

    I agree with much of your thinking NardVa. Only one thing stood out as maybe worth a look. "Panthers can stop the run and make life miserable for Young." Panthers' defensive line has been a problem. Only 4 sacks on the season, worst in NFL. Panthers' run defense is mediocre, as is its pass defense.

    You are right the Panthers pass defense isn't that good and they can't sack anybody, but against the run I think they're average. They give up 113 yards a game, but remeber Tenn has only rushed for more than 100 yrds 3 out of 7 games.

    In my opinion Tampa is to good against the past and I don't trust Kurt Warner with the messed up left arm. If the Cardinals can get their running game going they might get the upset but I doubt it. Kurt looked a little shaky playing Washington.

    This week doesn't really seem to have any good matchups to bet on. Looking at most of these games all the teams appear to be equally crappy. I don't see a whole lot of plays that I feel strong about. I like NE, SD, and not sure yet but maybe DAL. Otherwise I'm not betting on any of the other games.

    Only have to disagree on one, as I like the Saints on Sunday.

    Good luck with them.

    Carolina?! Depends who starts?!?! So, it's a huge difference whether it's Vinny, Carr, Jeff George?!?!?! When it comes to Carolina, just leave this sleeping dog alone.

    Same with Arizona.


    Otherwise I'm on board with Jax & Seattle. Browns need to show me one more quality win, and beating Seattle would do it, but I doubt it. Saints are coming alive, but Jax is too tough for the Saints to cover this week.

    I'll add Buff against Cincy. Cincy is just horrendous right now.

    If young keeps playing like he has the Carolina D won't need a pass rush.

    I'll take Cincy. Bills won on the road and now come home and lay points. Cincy will score points and the Bills can't. Cincy D will make enough stops to win.

    I like Buf a lot but I'll play the ML unless it gets up to +3 or better.

    I like Jax against NO as well.

    Right now, I would take Detroit over Denver, with the way their secondary is beat up.
