Who would have thought going into Week 9 of this NFL season that Arizona would hold a solid lead atop the NFC West? Not the strongest division in football, to be sure, but still, the Cardinals have been on their game recently, with solid wins over Dallas and Buffalo.

Somehow with a record of 2-5, St. Louis is tied for second place in the NFC West. The Rams have found new life in a team that seemed destined after Week 4 for a winless season. A tough road loss to New England last weekend interrupted a two-game win streak over teams hailing from the strong NFC East division. Taking down Washington and Dallas was both unexpected and breathed some much-needed life into this ball club.

Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner is having his best season in years. Formerly the QB for the Rams, he led them to their only Super Bowl win in 1999, while also garnering MVP honors.

This season Warner has one of the best wide receiver tandems in the league with Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin at his disposal. With the Arizona passing game at No. 2 in the league and the St. Louis pass defense at No. 25, it’s looking like a stellar day through the air for the Cardinals.
Baltimore (+1) at Cleveland

The AFC North heats up with a battle between the No. 2 Baltimore and No. 3 Cleveland. The Browns were the only team in the league to start the season with two home games – unfortunately for Cleveland, they also started with two loses. In Week 3, these Browns took their third straights loss in the form of a 28-10 beating from the Ravens. Now on their home field and with three wins under their belt, including an impressive 35-14 clobbering of the New York Giants, the Browns look in good form to tie up second place in their division. Browns.

Spammer.

I've got over 4,000 posts here, have been posting the link to my column on this site for 3 seasons and used to allow the SBR forum to post my column on their front page for free before my editor put a stop to it. Yep. I'm a spammer.

[daggerkobe]

But 0 since being hired away by EOG. Well, other than the you post for your own enrichment.

You backstabbers left this forum to die 5 months ago..... except not only did it survive but thrived, surprassing EOG in traffic.

You only post here when you want to use it for your own benefit.

You really shouldn't speak about things which you obviously know nothing. I don't work for EOG and if you can find some proof that I do - then by all means post it. There is no more proof of that than there was when people used to accuse me of working for SBR - after all, money is the only reason that I would post on a sports gambling forum, right?
Sometimes people such as yourself are just too stupid to even bother with. You talk about me as if you know me - both presumpteous and rude. Try this for a rule in the future, it may help you to appears as somewhat less of an idiot:

"It is better to remain silent and thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt."

[daggerkobe]

Yeah, you post 4000 times.... then all of a sudden, stop posting altogether. Why else could it be?????

hag

[Sportsgirl]

Hey, MR. SBR: why aren't you supporting your forum by participating in the bracket contest. I'm in

[daggerkobe]

Because backstabbing, two-timing spammers like you stole my spot.

Sporty, ignore the bitter idiot.

[Sportsgirl]

I know, Nina, I try. They don't even acknowledge that without me, you, Robyn, Bread, and Swede wouldn't even know about this site let alone post here.

[LT Profits]

Indeed, Dagger has some agenda today. At least I am not the only one he is bickering with.
