2012 NFL Week 9 Predictions

Can you say nail biters? That's what it what it felt like with quite a few games this week. As far as who is the best team in the NFL is. Until the Atlanta Falcons are defeated there is no discussion to be had. With that being said here are my predictions for week nine. As always, my predictions are in bold.

Chiefs at Chargers 
Bears at Titans 

Broncos at Bengals
Lions at Jaguars
Cardinals at Packers
Panthers at Redskins 

This could be the most dynamic matchup of the year. Cam Newton vs. RG3. I think this is a game that a lot of folks have been wanting to see. Both have similar styles and face the same struggles every week. I look for the Redskins to edge out the Panthers in a very competitive and close game.
Dolphins at Colts
Ravens at Browns
Bills at Texans
Vikings at Seahawks
Buccaneers at Raiders
Steelers at Giants 

This will be a battle of two banged up teams who find ways to win and have new stars being made each week. The Giants have been dominant at home and this week they continue that dominance by beating a very well matched Steelers team.
Cowboys at Falcons 

Eagles at Saints
