Week 9 on the Gridiron

   Hey guys, it is so hard to believe that it is week 9 already. Well as you know what we do here, and if this is your first time on the Hotline, I pick the games I am looking most forward to seeing this weekend, and you are more than welcome to leave your comments, favorite match-ups, and who is going to win, right in the comment box under this post.

   Okay, I think that the first game that I will pick is the Buccaneers @ Falcons. This game will be a playoff atmosphere game for the Buccaneers. They know that this is a game that they need to win, if they think they are the best in the N.F.C. Matt Ryan is 16-1 at home, and really feeds off of the home crowd in Atlanta, and if Michael Turner gets going, watch out. On the other side, Josh Freeman is playing so well for as young as he is. Being his second year, he looks more experienced than that. If Freeman can drive the ball in the dome, then it might be a closer game than you may think. My Pick= Falcons

   Dolphins @ Ravens. This game will spark your interest. I like the match-up a lot. The Dolphins have not lost on the road this year, and it might just continue for them. Joe Flacco having is having a decent season, after a somewhat struggling early part of the season. The Dolphins offense, on the other hand is looking very well. If the Dolphins can get the passing game going, getting it to his receivers like Brandon Marshall, and Bess, then their chances will be better. The Ravens then have to worry about the good Dolphins running game. The Ravens are at home, the fans will be loud, and Flacco needs to hit his weapons. The Ravens have had close games with the Steelers, who didn't have their starting QB at the time, and the Bills, who have not had a win yet this season. The Dolphins are better than those two match-up I would say, and I don't think the Ravens are going to poll away with this one. My Pick= Dolphins

   Chargers @ Texans. Another match-up that will spark your interest. If the Texans will run the ball, there is no doubt that I think the Texans win, but I think the Texans are not running the ball enough with Arian Foster. This guy is truly electrifying. The Chargers need to take charge in this game, and get on the board fast. Phillip Rivers, is having a very good year, needs to have another game this weekend. The Texans need to play better defense. It is a nice match-up, and who knows what will really happen, that is what's so great about it. Watch to find out! My Pick= Texans

   Chiefs @ Raiders. This is a game that is defiantly worth talking about. Loving the way both teams have played. The Chiefs have the first rank in rushing yards per game, and the Raiders have the second ranked rushing yards per game. So maybe you would say that who has the best rushing game will win? Well maybe that is true, but I think that more things are needed than that. The Raiders defense, in my opinion, is better, and might cause some turnovers. Matt Cassel probably wins in the passing game. The running backs match-ups are about the same, when you have Darren McFadden and Michael Bush, an the Chiefs have Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones. Both teams are really rolling right now, and I am very interested to see this match-up today. My Pick= Raiders

   Well guys, it has been fun like always, I hope you read the Gridiron Picks, and leave your comments. Have a great weekend guys, bye!
