Observations and Predictions... Week 9

The Cowboys kept the good times rolling. They won their third in a row, a third consecutive game without an INT for Romo, and 3 games in a row with TDs by Miles Austin. Eagles pounded the Giants. Saints stayed undefeated. I tallied a decent 9-4 last week.

Here were the top performers of the week:
QB-Brett Favre: 244 yards and 4TDs as the prodigal son went home to Lambeau last week.
WR-Reggie Wayne: 147 yards and a TD as the Colts slipped by the Niners.
RB-Chris Johnson: 228 yards and 2 scores helped the Titans grab their first victory.
TE-Dustin Keller: 76 yards and a score in this shootout with the Dolphins
Def-Bears: A sack, 2 INTs, 3 Fumble recoveries, a TD and a blocked kick made this a very dominant day for Chicago.
Special Teams-Dolphins: Ted Ginn Jr. found the endzone twice on long returns.

Atlanta is my lock of the week over the Skins. I have Chicago in a close one over the mess that is Arizona. The Bengals proving they're for real against the Ravens. Colts in a shoot out against the Texans. Pats big over Miami, Brady pays back the fins for last years wildcat debacle. Green Bay huge over Tampa Bay. Jacksonville behind a big MJD day over KC. Saints over the Panthers. Seahawks beat the Lions in close one. Giants over the Chargers. The Titans beat the Niners. Dallas wins a tough one on the road against Philly. Pittsburgh on the road beats the Broncos.

Fantasy Picks of The Week
QB-Aaron Rodgers: Has a favorable matchup against the Bucs defense.
WR-Reggie Wayne: Keeps the huge numbers going in a shootout in Houston.
RB-Maurice Jones Drew: The inviting KC defense awaits.
TE-Vernon Davis: Should have a big week against the Titans.
Def-Packers: The Tampa offense is as bad as their defense. Plus they are wearing their creamisicle unis... yuck.
Special Teams-Saints: I expect big returns in the kicking game.
