Mark's week 8 and 9 picks

Sorry for the late picks. I had meant to write down my picks, but was away all weekend and did not get a chance to. Jeff and I reviewed the picks on our weekly radio show today, but I will write them down for all of you that were not able to listen

Ravens at Bengals
In what may be an upset pick of sorts. I'm taking the Bengals. I have always been a fan of Carson Palmer. One of the VERY few players, that I like that have come out of USC. I've drafted him in fantasy the past few years, along with Chad Ochocinco. What a dissapointment they were last year, but a bit of a surprise with how well they are doing, but they beat the Ravens here for the second time this year

Packers at Bucs
This is a no brainer. The Pack in a landslide. The BUCS are an awful team, and they have a QB that I don't think any of us have heard of, or know where he came from. Aaron Rodgers leads an onslaught of a game

Dolphins at Pats
In another upset pick of sorts. I'm gonna go with the Wildcat offense and the Dolphins. Lately the Pats have struggled with the Dolphins, and this will continue, with the Dolphins getting the BIG W up in Foxboro!

Chiefs at Jags
Another awful game. Who would EVER want to watch this game, let alone go to it. Two just awful teams playing each other. You got a crybaby with a foul mouth of the one team, and two overrated QB's in the game. The Jags should be chanting we want Byron back, because once you let him go, their went the future of your franchise. I gotta go with the Jags, just because their at home

Texans at Colts
Pretty good game here, but its an easy pick. Colts. Texans have never won in Indy, and this trend will continue

Cardinals at Bears
Cardinals. Bears frankly I don't think are a very good team. Jay Cutler, I don't think you're very good either. Bears you gave up WAY too much to get him. Yes you beat the Steelers, but that was more of a collapse on the Steelers part, then the Bears deserving to win the game.

Redskins at Falcons
Ever since I picked the Redskins to beat the Eagles on Monday Night, I've realized what stupid pick that was, and am NEVER going to pick them again. Once again Jason Campbell is not a franchise QB. Jim Zorn needs fired. Falcons win

Lions at Seahawks
I was really tempted to pick the Lions here. Really was, because the Seahawks are frankly awful. They do have a decent QB in Hasselback, but they have UGLY jersies, and they play in the middle of nowhere. Seahawks win

Pathers at Saints
Pretty easy. Delhomme your career should be done. 9 INT's to start the year, your a terrible QB. Saints in a landslide

Titans at 49ers
49ers. Not really a believer in the Titans. Wasn't last year. Didn't think they were very good. Kerry Collins was frankly too old, and this year his age caught up to him. Vernon Davis is finally having his coming out party, after 6 years in the NFL. He will have another big game

Chargers at Giants
Have to go with the G men, and their defense. LT is washed up, Phil Rivers is an overrated QB. I mean with that offense and that defense, how haven't you won a Super Bowl yet, my goodness. Eli leads his team to victory

Cowboys at Eagles
In a big Sunday night game here. Going to go with the Birds. Donovan shows up on National TV, and has a big game.

Steelers at Broncos
I will NEVER pick agaisnt the Steelers, so this pick is really easy. Steelers!

Bears at 49ers
I didn't realize their was a Thursday night game on the air yesterday, but if any of you listended to the radio show, we did on Monday, I believe I picked the 49ers. Alex Smith has finally developed into a half decent QB. Vernon Davis is finally living up to all the hype he had when the 49ers drafted him out of Maryland

Bucs at Dolphins
This is a pretty easy pick. Dolphins is a not so close game. The Bucs have a rookie QB starting in Josh Freeman, who frankly wasn't that great of a QB at Kansas State. Dolphins with that wild cat offense, and Ronny Brown run all over Tampa and win the game

Detriot at Minnesota
EASY EASY PICK. Viking is a landslide. Lions are one of the worst teams in all of football, and Vikings are one of the best. Vikings roll to victory

Jaguars at Jets
This one is a tough game. Both teams suck in my oppinion. The Jets have Sanchez at QB and Braylon Edwards at WR. Jags have a more experienced QB in Garrard. This is a tough game to call, and even if the Jags have been struggling all year, I think they pull off the sort of upset at the Medowlands agaisnt the Jets

Bengals at Steelers
Big big game for both teams. I just don't see us losing to the Bengals twice, especially losing at home. We're rock solid at home. We just came off a big game agaisnt Denver, and our momentum is going to continue rolling. I LOVE Carson Palmer, and have always held out hope for the Bengals, but I WILL NEVER go agaisnt my Steelers, so Steelers win and take over the division lead

Saints at Rams
Simple pick. Saints. Saints stay undefeated, and roll over the AWFUL Rams

Bills at Titans
I picked the Bills before to win, but their a disgrace right now to football with how bad they are. Lynch hasn't done anything all year, and to make things worse was suspended for the first 4 games of the year, so I have to go with the hometown team and the Titans. I'm done picking the Bills to win. The TO experiment is OVER!

Denver at Washington
I'm gonna go with Denver. They had been on a roll, but now their on a two game losing streak, and I think they end the skid here. Their playing agaisnt a Redskins team that is frankly terrible. Jason Campbell was never an answer to a franchise QB, and Jim Zorn needs to go!

Chiefs at Raiders
The Raiders. The Black Hole will swallow the Chiefs up. Matt Cassel you're overrated, and Russell you need to learn how to throw a football and complete a pass. For goodness sake, your making a ton of money. You have an arm, learn how to control it and complete a pass. Raiders win this game

Seahawks at Cards
Super bowl bound team last year has been dissapointing this year, but their playing the Hawks. The Hawks have ugly jersys and a horrid team, so Cards and that great offense of theirs rolls big over the Hawks

Dallas at Green Bay
HUGE GAME. Probably best game of the week I think. I struggled with my pick here. On the radio I originally picked Dallas. They had the big win in Philly last week, but I just don't see them going into Lambaeu this week and upsetting Green Bay. Well it wouldn't be much of an upset, but I have switched picks, and am going to go with the Pack

Philly at San Diego
Eagles you had a tough loss at home, and traveling all the way across the country is not going to help the bad taste left in your mouth. Once again your going to be licking your wounds, because your going to lose to the Chargers

New England at Indy
In one of the most anticipated games of the year, in what has become one of the biggest rivalries in the 2000's, I think Peyton wins at home. I hope he doesn't, because I don't want Indy getting home field for the playoffs, because its always tough going into that STUPID dome, with all that crowd noise. Indy you should've built a stadium outdoors. I have always said if they can have outdoor stadiums in New Enngland and Green Bay, why can't everyone have one? Its stupid. Indy wins, because they have that stupid dome, yes its a retractible roof, but its still indoors

Ravens at Cleveland
Why o Why is this a Monday night game. Put the New England Indy game here. Ravens win BIG! Cleveland sucks and everyone is going to see them suck nationally. They can't seem to decide who their starting QB is. They have a TON of problems.
