PATRIOTS try to hold down #1 Spot in recent NFL Power Polls..DOLPHINS try 4-0 on the road at BMORE... NFL WEEK 9

We know this much....as of the upcoming NFL GAMES for week 9......The best teams and the toughest fight to get a playoff spot lies in the AFC. In the BLUEDUDE"S recent NFL POWER POLL at least 7 teams in the top 10 were from the AFC. The top spot being held down by the PATRIOTS and the STEELERS, JETS, COLTS, RAVENS were the other 4 of the 5.

With all that parity in the AFC an NFC Team with 11 wins will probably be at home waiting for an opponent on WILDCARD Weekend. The Top 3 Teams in the NFC that are any threat to the top AFC Teams are the FALCONS, SAINTS, and PACKERS.

With that said lets see what's on tap for NFL WEEK 9:

Sunday November 7, 2010

1PM ET

1. NY JETS @ FORD FIELD IN THE D: The Duel of two of the best young QB's in the League in the JETS Mark Sanchez and the Lions Matthew Stafford. This game is pretty simple in that the game will be won if the LIONS can get to the JETS and Coach Rex Ryan Defense. WR and Main Target Calvin "MEGATRON" JOHNSON will have to beat ANTONIO CROMARTIE and a host of DB's in the NFL's Most talented Secondary. On the other hand the JETS have to get back to running the ball so SANCHEZ can have easier reads to throw down field. I like the JETS in this one but Lions Coach Jim SCHWARTZ has Rookie DT NDAMUKONG SUH and The Defense up for the challenge this will be a game that goes deep into the 4th qtr.
WINNER: GOTHAM CITY GREEN

2. TAMPA @ GEORGIA DOME IN A T L: In the Sundays best match-up the upstart BUCs will try to see if they are contenders or pretenders to the NFC SOUTH Throne. Buc QB JOSH FREEMAN is the real deal and BUCS coach Raheem Morris has already said, " We are the best team in the NFC". Slow down there partner...But they are playing lights out for a young ball club. The Falcons may have the best 1-2 punch in the league in QB Matt Ryan and WR Roddy White. In order for the Falcons to control and win this tough divisional game they have to establish Northern Illinois' Micheal Burner Turner early and often. If they do this and keep FREEMAN and the BUCS O in 3rd and long the Dirty Birds will be a top of the NFC South by their lonesome.
WINNER: DIRTY BIRDS

3. DIEGO @ RELIANT STADIUM IN ROCKET CITY: The Texans started the year off with a bang by SMASHING the COLTS and what a difference 2 months make. After MONDAY Night's loss at INDY to give the COLTS First Place and seems like the TEXANS are back to their old tricks again TALKIN' but not WALKIN'. Now they Face a CHARGER Team on paper that is statistically the best in football and most balanced until you see penalties and turnover margin. BOLTS QB Phillip RIVERS looks like DAN FOUTS on MONSTER and TE ANTONIO Gates is a beast and If lions WR CALVIN JOHNSON is MEGATRON GATES is OPTIMUS PRIME......for real. The Texans to win this game must make plays on defense and slow down MR. RIVERS and COMPANY on Offense.
WINNER: CHARGERS

4. MIAMI @ M&T BANK STADIUM IN BMORE: The 2nd best match-up of the day that pits a DOLPHINS Team that is coming in 3-0 on the road and look like the '72 dolphins. The RAVENS coming off a bye week will have to start fast to keep up with DOLPHINS and their Road Dominance. QB JOE FLACCO will need a heavy dose of RB's RAY RICE and Willis McGaHEE to offset the Dolphins pass rush and nickel packages. RAVENS WR ANQUAN BOLDIN vs FINS CB VONTAE DAVIS is one of the better WR vs CB matches you will see this year. Ray LEWIS and his Defense must slow down FINS running attack and make QB HENNE throw it.
WINNER: DOLPHINS

5. WHO DAT? NATION @ BANK OF AMERICA STADIUM QUEEN CITY NC: QB Drew Brees and Head man SEAN PAYTON needed not only get a convincing win but to get one vs a quality DEFENSE and opponent like the STEELERS. If the SAINTS continue to improve every facet of their team the sky is the limit. The return of RB's Pierre Thomas and Reggie Bush will be a welcome addition to a Pass first and second and third down team. Panthers have no chance in this one and I know that's why they play the game but the BLUEDUDE's not going to watch this game so why play it.
WINNER: SAINTS'

6. CARDS @ MALL OF AMERICA STADIUM TWIN CITIES MN: Do the Vikings have any pride left because mathematically they are still alive and barely. The VIKINGS need to give QB TAVARES JACKSON a crack at it to see what they have moving forward. The Vikings Defense isn't the same defense when JARED ALLEN can't rush the QB the CARDS on the other hand appear to be in a little bit of a funk because of their QB Situation. If you have LARRY FITZGERALD on your fantasy team you might want to sit him this game. CARDS RB BEANIE WELLS .......where you at DAWG?
WINNER: VIKINGS

7. MONSTER OF TH MIDWAY vs BISON CITY at ROGERS CENTRE TORONTO ONTARIO: BEARS have a lot of things to fix and the BILLS , though 0-7, and way under the Mendoza line, the Bears need this one to stay with the PACKERS at 5-3 in the NFC NORTH. Offensive Line Protection and turnovers, especially of the PICK 6 Variety, can't happen anymore for the BEARS to be productive. BILLS QB RYAN FITZPATRICK has been playing well the last few weeks and WR LEE EVANS has been his main target along with WR Roscoe Parrish from........THE U. The Bills half way through the season should open up the playing for rookie sensation RB C.J. SPILLER. Bills Coach Chan GAILEY has a chance especially if the BEARS look like the BEARS.
WINNER: DA BEARS

8. NE @ CLEVELAND BROWNS STADIUM in C-TOWN: Coming off an impressive win at NAWLINS before their bye week, the BROWNS have a new confidence they have not seen around there since they moved from that dump of a stadium in MUNICIPAL STADIUM. The PATRIOTS winning equation is easy keep Browns RB PEYTON HILLIS from chewing huge chunks of yards and keep rookie QB COLT McCoy in third and long. The PATS need TOM BRADY to establish and sustain long TD Drives early yo kill some of the buzz and moral that the BROWNS are playing on. The GAME will be won on both fronts through the turnover battle and time of possession. BELICHEK looks like he may have found something with his young defense they are starting to play well and the season is getting into cold weather.
WINNER: PATS

405PM ET

9. G-MEN @ QWEST FIELD IN THE EMERALD CITY: ELI and his new found trio of Wide Receivers are doing damage and catching their stride at the right time. Throw that in with a pretty good running game of late the GIANTS are arguably the best team in the NFC. The Defense led by pro-bowl DT JUSTIN TUCK has been doing a fabulous job of keeping teams in passing downs. The Seahawks got throttled in EAST BAY last week and they play better at home anyway. They will need to get RB's LYNCH and FORSETT going and going early. If HASSLEBACK Can't go the SEAHAWKS are doomed and I don't care if they have the ZORN TO LARGENT DUO back playing in this one........IT WILL BE A DONE DEAL.
WINNER: GOTHAM CITY BLUE

10. COLTS @ THE LINC IN PHILLY: A pretty good one especially if the MIKE VICK EXPERIENCE 2.0 Version is back in the building. Hey DESEAN JACKSON instead of practicing the celebration at the end of TD's maybe you should learn to tell the difference between man coverage and zone coverage because if it is a zone there will be somebody on the other side of that thing to open the door for you and would love to let you in again. EAGLES have a huge problem in this one and it is their defense. If they can't put pressure on #18 it will be a long day for them. Vick can put up points on just about anybody but the game will be won with the EAGLES D getting stops on drives and keeping MANNING in 3rd and a lot.
WINNER: EAGLES

11. CHIEFS @ OAKLAND COLISEUM in EAST BAY: Man probably the last time this game was a must see was 2002 when the RAIDERS were making a run to another Super Bowl. I quit saying this about three weeks ago, "ARE THE CHIEFS FOR REAL", and THE BLUEDUDE will answer that for you.....YES.....and is the RAIDERS recent success a fluke........NOPE......A new found running game a WR CLIFF BRANCH.......No......TIM BROWN..........No.......RONALD CURRY........no.....RANDY MOSS.....no....DARIUS HEYWARD-BEY.....I KNOW I won't go there but you can......is catching not only passes but TD's....maybe Al DAVIS isn't done yet. Todd HALEY and his CHIEFS Group are young and exciting and leading the World in Rushing with nearly 190 yds per....hell you would think PRIEST HOLMES, CHRISTAIN " THE NIGERIAN NIGHTMARE" OKOYE, and MARCUS ALLEN were back there sharing duties. It's not them but the SMURFS 2K10 led by PAPA SMURF JAMAL CHARLES from HOOKEM' HORNS U. In order for the RAIDERS to have any chance load the box up with 11 and make MATT CASSELL earn some of that POWERBALL TICKET MONEY he won back in NEW ENGLAND.
WINNER: SILVER & BLACK

820ET PM

12. COWBOYS @ LAMBEAU IN UPPER WISCONSIN: Man U know what I am thinking.........JERRY is away from his phone in his office ringing off the hook like he has been missing payments and is about to default on that mammoth of stadium in ARLINGTON TX. What's the over and under when the 'BOYS win their next game. I know they won't win on TURKEY DAY with BREES and his BOYS trying to make quick work of them fools to back to some of that CRESCENT CITY SOUL FOOD TURKEY DAY SPREAD..........THE PACK on the other hand will rely on QB Aaron RODGERS and the OFFENSE to win this one. Look if the Cowboys can't stop the JAGS in BIG D they will have no shot in beating the banged up PACKERS....and its a night game on november in GREEN BAY.....nothing like knowing you are about to get spanked in the cold and then getting spanked. ITS NOT THE ACT IT'S THE ANTICIPATION OF THE ACT.......HOLLA 'BOYS the BLUEDUDE hopes you 1-15 so AMERICA's TEAM can be on the THREE RIVERS......
WINNER: WHO ELSE?........I DONE RAN MY MOUTH AND I AM NOW GOING WITH THE COWBOYS.....MAN......KISS THE BABY

MONDAY NOVEMBER 8, 2010

830PM ET

13. STEEL CURTAIN @ THE JUNGLE (PAUL BROWN STADIUM CINCY OH) or should I say SIX FLAGS: It's a division game so throw out the records. THE BLUEDUDE has been going to this game for years and I have to give it to CINCY FANS when they are winning they are talking playoffs.............................. and when they are taking the G off of LOSING.....which is a lot.........Their Super Bowl is the STEELERS....DON'T get mad at me yall have a few things going for you............No more tailgating in cold weather after Decmeber 2010..........If it wasn't enough you have not 1 but 2 wide recievers with a TALK SHOW on VERSUS...which is 2 more than any STEELERS WR.....and.......PUT MORE PORTA POTTIES out in the parking lots when tailgating.....I HATE PEEING on the railroad tracks next to the STADIUM.....Can't do that country S*** in a real city like CHICAGO.......Oh...The game.....BIG BEN will get back on track and RB MENDENHALL needs a big game or the BENGALS will win this one. STEELERS Defense just has to be patient with QB PALMER he will throw you some balls. BUNGLES still have DIVISIONAL Hope.....If the STEELERS win that will be gone too.
WINNER: THREE RIVERS
