NFL WEEK 9 Schedule BREAKDOWN....RAVENS and STEELERS for the AFC North....JETS n BILLS...G-MEN n PATS...BEARS n EAGLES

The 3rd Quarter of the SEASON is now starting and teams are starting to position themselves for the PLAYOFFS Runs. HUGE match-ups are on tap for WEEK 9 and the CREAM is starting to rise to the TOP.

The RAVENS and STEELERS lead the fray in WEEK 9 and it needs no explaining. The BEARS travel to the LINC to play the NEW EAGLES and that is a MONDAY Tilt.

The JETS and BILLS renew their RIVALRY with the BILLS having the upper hand in this one. The JETS will be challenged by the BILLS in all phases and this game is for the last SPOT in the AFC Playoffs.

The PATS have another tough one in the G-MEN coming to town. The PATS must fix that D because the G-MEN have THUNDER n LIGHTNING and they have a really tough WR Corp.

NFL WEEK 9 Schedule Breakdown....powered by the LIKE Button at BLUEDUDE SPORTSTALK in FACEBOOK:

November 6, 2011

1PM ET

JETS @ BILLS: Who ever wins this game will have the Upper hand in either winning the AFC EAST or getting to one of AFC Playoff Seeds. The JETS have to be on the TOES for this one. SANCHEZ needs to be sharp and the JETS need to help him with the RUN GAME. The JETS will be challenged playing FITZ and JACKSON leading that BILLS OFFENSE.

The BILLS on the other hand have the DEFENSE and the Confidence to take it right to the JETS and that from 4 led by ROOKIE DT Marcell DAREUS of 'ROLL TIDE fame is underrated and doing the JOB.

WINNER: BILLS 23-21.....too much BILLS D at the END creating turnovers

SEAHAWKS @ DALLAS: Who said you need a GAME that is Winnable in your house. Well the COWBOYS have their Homecoming Game and the 12th ZONE and NEON Green Uniforms are invited.

ROMO and Company need to get that OFFENSE on track and if they have to rely on the DEFENSE keeping them in games it is the WRONG Approach. DALLAS couldn't NOT RUN the BALL at the LINC last Sunday and that killed them. They must also incorporate Dez BRYANT into the Offense more.

The SEAHAWKS are coming off a BAD HOME LOSS to the New BENGALS and this will be a tough one for them. BAD Teams don't play well on the ROAD, excusing the SAINTS, and the HAWKS will have trouble in this one unless the COWBOYS help their cause.

WINNER: 'BOYS...34 - 10...it's the SEAHAWKS

BROWNS @ TEXANS: Can BROWNS QB Colt McCOY move the BALL down field and can PEYTON HILLIS get some touches? After that it is all about the TEXANS and Super-RB Arian FOSTER.

BROWNS....if you can STOP HIM...you might stay within striking distance.

WINNER: TEXANS..too much FOSTER...27-3

DIRTY BIRDS @ COLTS: Watching PAINT DRY....this is one that has REGIONAL COVERAGE all over it. The FALCONS need to do what they have to do to WIN the GAME. The COLTS need to A.....W.

WINNER: DIRTY BIRDS...easy 31-16....COLTS Coach on HOT SEAT

DOLPHINS @ CHIEFS: DITTO...from the FALCONS and COLTS Tilt. One of the toughest places to play in the NFL and the DOLPHINS are coming to town. Like mixing Kim KARDASHIAN and MARRIAGE.....Not Happening...and the FINS are K-DUB

WINNER: CHIEFS...does the SCORE matter

BUCS @ WHO DAT?: The SAINTS are virtually unbeatable at the MERCEDES-Benz SUPERDOME and they owe the BUCS for that early season loss.

SAINTS can't WIN on the ROAD...and BUCS QB Freeman has regressed. So what is going to happen in this one. Do the BUCS get back on track because the SAINTS are going to SCORE points. Or do the BUCS lay in EGG and the LOSING continues.

WINNER: WHO DAT?...at HOME...37-13..FREEMAN still LOST

49ERS @ REDSKINS: Just when you think as a REDSKINS Fan it has to get easier....it won't. The NINERS come to town as arguably the 2nd Best Team in the NFC and they take NO PRISONERS. Led by QB Alex Smith on O and What YOU TALKIN' 'BOUT WILLIS on D....it will be a Tough TASK to overcome for the 'SKINS.

Can the"SKINS find a QB.......let me see...Doug WILLIAMS....Mark RYPIEN....Jay SCHROEDER.....JOE......NO. Well there lies the $1 million question. This is a really tough one for the 'SKINS and SHANAHAN...WOW

WINNER : 49ERS...they are hitting on all cylinders and way too much FIREPOWER for the 'SKINS


4PM ET

BRONCOS @ RAIDERS: No time to be TEBOWING n the BLACK HOLE...i know they are not having an of that. Meanwhile for the RAIDERS and QB Carson PALMER..they need a game where CARSON can get familiar with the OFFENSE. They will not have Run DMC...so they will have to WALK THIS WAY by running back by committee led by Michael BUSH.

The BRONCOS have TEBOW at the CONTROLS and he must show improvement or else.....HE might be GONE or the BRONCOS use a PICK in the 2012 Draft on Matt BARKELY or Landry JONES.

Winner: RAIDERS 30-20.....PALMER looks comfortable

BENGALS @ TITANS: Someone tell CJ28 to tighten his chin strap because the new BENGALS are in TOWN looking for a little RESPECT.

The BENGALS have everything rolling in their favor and that DEFENSE is of TOP SHELF Quality led by head coach MARVIN LEWIS. Thrown in an Offense led by a ROOKIE QB and WR in ANDY DALTON and AJ GREEN....they will be a tough out from here and out.

The TITANS ever since the STEELERS Road Game have not gotten back to the BASICS and they are a team still fighting their way back to get to their IDENTITY. As far as CJ28 getting off...not this week and you could go out on a limb and say CJ 28 has packed it in for the season....REAL TALK.

WINNER: BENGALS....24-13......BENGALS D Story here

RAMS @ CARDS: HMMMMMMMM..where do I start.....OH!...the SCORE....WINNER....PICK'EM

G-MEN @ PATRIOTS: A really tough one to diagnose. The PATS coming off of a LOSS where they were just dominated by the STEELERS and the G-MEN ned to use that BluePrint.

The GIANTS have to establish the RUN but all those G-MEN WRs have to be licking their CHOPS watching the PATS Secondary. If the GIANTS can keep the PATS D on the FIELD.....they will easily win this one. The PATS need to establish lomg enough drives to keep their DEFENSE off the FIELD.

This is one of those GAMES where the HOME Team will be on the CLOCK for the GAME and for their SEASON.

WINNER: G-MEN.....too much OFFENSE and the PATS go into a FREE FAL.....where are the DOLPHINS on the SCHEDULE

PACKERS @ BOLTS: Now after a LOSS like that on the ROAD....the BOLTS host Aaron RODGERS and the PACK at Home coming off of a BYE WEEK. The only good in this one has to be the WEATHER.

Can the BOLTS stop the PACK O. Can the PACKERS get to RIVERS and force all those turnovers as RIVERS leads the WORLD in that category this season.

WINNER: PACKERS...too much PACK Offense and the BOLTS keep turning it over...34-23

820 PM ET

RAVENS @ STEELERS: It IS WHAT IT IS.....now having said that the STEELERS and BIG BEN's New Offense has to have TEAMS shaking in their BOOTS as BEN has never in his career looked as comfortable as he looks now. That is a HUGE Problem for the RAVENS as their OFFENSE and QB Joe FLACCO have had their PROBLEMS since the WEEK 1 beat down they put on the STEELERS.

Something is going to have to give, I know the STEELERS will be without 3 of their STARTING Linebackers and watch what they do on D...they still won't fall off...enter VETERAN LEADER and ILB Larry FOOTE from the D and all that GOOD DEPTH. The STEELERS will need all hands on DECK but the RAVENS must STOP BIG BEN.....no one's come close in the last month.

WINNER: STEELERS...BIG BEN and the O keep it rolling.....31 - 13

MONDAY NOVEMBER 7th, 2011

830PM ET

BEARS @ EAGLES: Can the EAGLES STOP BEARS RB Matt FORTE?........Can the BEARS STOP EAGLES RB LeSean MCCOY?...now having said all that CUTLER needs to play really well in the PASSING GAME for the BEARS to have any chance.

The EAGLES look like they have found an IDENTITY and that is SCARY for the rest of the LEAGUE. The BEARS WRs have thier work cut out facing the EAGLES And their new BUMP and RUN Man on the OUTSIDE Cover Scheme with ASOMUGHA and SAMUELS.

This will be one of the better games you will see all year....and it's MNF.

WINNER: EAGLES 23-20....Both Defenses hold their end of the BARGAIN UP
