The Chippers Top 5

Predictions for Week 10:

This will be a close one. The Lions are on the rise while the Vikings are stumbling. This is a chance to get back on track for the Vikings. Adrian Peterson will carry the offense and grind out the clock to keep the Lions’ offense off the field.

Prediction:  Vikings 23 Lions 17

The Saints can run the ball and will work off play-action and try to controll the clock. They’ll have to against a Falcons team that will be able to move up and down the field at will against a bad Saints defense. The Saints are at home and divisional opponents always play each other tough. Who Dat??  It’s a W for the Saints.

Prediction:  Saints 28 Falcons 27

The Chargers are good enough to beat the Bucks, but it’s a lot of traveling in the last two weeks even off a long week. You can’t bet on Norv Turner. The Bucs have been the best team in the NFC South recently & TB has found a gem in rookie running back Doug Martin.

Prediction:  Buccaneers 34 Chargers 31

Two teams on the brink of a clearance sale. The difference will be which quarterback has fewer turnovers, and there may be plenty. The Eagles get the edge here, thanks to LeSean McCoy and the speed of their offense against a banged-up Dallas defense.

Prediction:  Eagles 21 Cowboys 17

Solider Field is a tough place to play no matter the time of year, but in the cold of mid-November, with the Bears’ defense playing as well as any in the NFL, Houston will run into a brick wall and suffer its second loss of the season.

Prediction:  Bears  24  Texans  23

Week # 9 Recap:

Prediction:  Broncos 28 Bengals 14 Win – My boy Peyton stays on the MVP path as the Buncos rack up another 4^th Qtr Come-From-Behind Win.  The Denver D stepped up as well.

Prediction:  Giants 21 Steelers 17 Loss –On Sunday morning I told my dad I had a feeling the Steelers were going to win this game.

Prediction: Falcons 38 Cowboys 24 Win – The Cowboys are the most overrated team in the NFL. It’s time to go Jason Garrett.

Prediction:  Saints 34 Eagles 24 Win – The Saints may just be back on the winning path having won the last 3 of 4.  This week against the Falcons will show where they are. 

Prediction: Raiders 24 Buccaneers 23 Loss – The Raiders suck and Tampa got robbed. 

Weekly Total:  3 – 2  total for the Year:  27 – 18

Predictions for Week 9:

Denver Broncos @ Cincinnati Bengals

Peyton Manning has never lost to the Bengals in his career, and it won’t start this week. The only way Cincinnati can get out of this game with a win is to outscore, and out-pass, the veteran Manning. Second-year quarterback Andy Dalton has A.J. Green on his side, but it won’t be enough.

Prediction:  Broncos  28  Bengals  14

Pittsburgh Steelers @ New York Giant

Eli and Big Ben have put their respective teams on their shoulders and are playing great football this season. So the tale of the tape there doesn’t give any real clear advantage. Ahmad Bradshaw is going to have tough sledding against the Steelers, but at least the Giants have a chance to move the ball along the ground. They’ll win for that reason alone.

Prediction:  Giants 21 Steelers 17

Dallas Cowboys @ Atlanta Falcons

The mistake-prone, depleted Cowboys could be in for a very long night in Atlanta. As much as the Falcons are beatable, they appear to be picking up steam after a bye and a nice victory over the Eagles.

Prediction: Falcons 38 Cowboys 24

Philadelphia Eagles @ New Orleans Saints

The Eagles should be able to put points up regardless of the quarterback situation, but if they couldn’t stop Atlanta there’s little reason to believe they can go into the Superdome and slow down the powerful Saints offense. 

Prediction:  Saints 34 Eagles 24

Tampa Buccaneers @ Oakland Raiders

Oakland’s only shot at winning lies on Carson Palmer’s shoulders. If he can stay mistake-free and torch this Buccaneers secondary (like many have before) Oakland may have a chance—a small one.

 Prediction: Raiders 24 Buccaneers 23
