Holic's Week 9 Predictions...

Hey everyone!  Happy Saturday!  Can't wait for Monday's game; it's going to be a good one (win or lose).  The predictions are below.  Hope you like them!

Washington @ Atlanta -- Will Washington's offense be able to overcome the Atlanta defense?  I don't think they will, so Atlanta wins this one, 27-12.

Arizona @ Chicago -- Arizona has one of the best run defenses in the league.  Their pass offense is stellar and should do pretty well against the Bears.  Arizona wins, 24-23.

Baltimore @ Cincinnati -- The Ravens' rush defense should be able to stop Cedric Benson, for a while at least.  The Cincy offense is just too good, they win, 23-17.

Houston @ Indianapolis -- Indy's offense has been superb this year.  The Texans' defense won't be able to stop them.  Houston will be able to keep up with the Colts on offense, but the Colts should be able to stop the Texans on a few of their drives.  This turns out to be the difference.  Colts win, 31-27.

Miami @ New England -- Last time Miami played in New England, the Dolphins unveiled their Wildcat offense.  New England is sure to be ready for it this time around.  Plus, the Dolphins' defense is struggling this year; no way they stop New England's offense.  Pats, 34-24.

Green Bay @ Tampa Bay -- The only thing that Tampa has going for them in this game is their home field advantage (if anyone shows up to their game).  Green Bay dominates the Tampa defense and offense.  Packers, 24-10.

Kansas City @ Jacksonville -- Kansas City's offense is atrocious, but so is the Jaguar's.  It all comes down to which offense makes less mistakes.  I give Jacksonville the advantage; they win 13-9.

Detroit @ Seattle -- The Seahawks, believe it or not, have a secret weapon on offense and his name is TJ Houshmanzadeh.  He and Matt Hasselback, if he plays, should play pretty well against the meager Detroit defense.  Seahawks, 24-13.

Carolina @ New Orleans -- Is there any team that can stop the New Orleans' offense?  I don't think Carolina will be able to, Saints, 38-24.

San Diego @ NY Giants -- The Giants' defense hasn't been playing up to expectations.  At home, with their play-off hopes on the line, they show the NFL that they still have a respectable defense.  Giants win 27-21.

Tennessee @ San Francisco -- The Niners play with a lot of discipline and Tennessee, not so much.  San Francisco should be able to stop the Titans' offense, winning this game 24-17.

Dallas @ Philadelphia -- This should be a fantastic game.  Division rivals, with play-off hopes, who are both 5-2.  Can it get any better?  Dallas seems to have a tough time winning the big games, and Philly always seems to show up when a big game arrives.  Philadelphia's offense comes out firing, winning 28-23.

MNF Game:

Pittsburgh Steelers  vs.  Denver Broncos -- Pittsburgh is coming off their bye week and is looking to continue their play-off run.  They are going to come out prepared and ready for our defense, and will be attacking our offense all game long.  Denver cannot afford to start this game out slow.  They can't give up any special teams' touchdowns or lose the turnover/TOP battle.  Don't get too confident Bronco Country, it might lead to our downfall.  Always act as if every game will be tough, like this one will be.  Denver wins 20-17.
