Week 9 has some interesting games, moreso than previous weeks. Not sure who plays at home in all cases, but these are the games:

Steelers vs. Ravens, Bills, vs. Jets, Bears vs. Eagles, Packers vs. Chargers, Patriots vs. Giants.

All of these teams have a positive record with the exception of the Eagles, but they have been gearing up lately. Much better than last week's schedule when all of the early games (seven, I think) had at least one team with a negative record. Well, the Saints managed to lose anyway and the Ravens almost.

I expect the Pack's passing game to shred the Chargers, in order for the controversy around Philip Rivers to continue for one more week. I get the feeling though that Chargers RBs may gash Green Bays, despite all their injuries. The Chargers should win next week and Rivers will probably make a turnaround barring an injury (which he is probably masking right now.)

Steelers are building momentum, and should beat the Ravens by 10 points. Bills will get a whoopin from the Jets;Fitzpatrick is coming down to earth and I feel sorry for anyone residing on Revis Island in this game. Jets D is too good for Bills O to stop.

Eagles vs. Bears should be a shootout....if it happened 3 weeks ago. The Eagles D seems to have tightened things up, and I only see Philly losing if there are turnovers on their end. Nnamdi Asomugha will make life difficult for Jay Cutler, so Matt Forte's performance is crucial.

I also see the Giants beating the Patriots in the upset of the Week. The hype will be concerning a Super Bowl rematch of sorts, and I feel the Pats will once again underestimate the Giants. In order to win, the Pats have to abuse the running game, but with their backfield being so confusing, I'm not sure they will use who they have effectively. Who knows the roles of each man back there (Faulk, Green-Ellis, Ridley, etc).
