NFL Week 9 Hot Finger Louie Pro Predictions

The Colts and Chargers are two power house teams coming off a bye week and the Chicago Bears hope to remain above 500. The Bears have deep rooted problems on offense due to Jay Cutler falling prey to a groin tear injury in week 7.

Joe Flacco is far from having an MVP season and he is not in-tune with his wide receiver play makers. The Baltimore Ravens are not the Cinderella team of 2013, nor have the Texans or Titans played up to their preseason hype potential.

The Broncos and 49ers are two teams who welcome a mid-season bye week, and this rest period will give both teams the resilience required to contend in week 10. The bye week for the Lions ushers in a opportunity to be fresh for their week 10 outing. With only a few seconds left in the fourth quarter - Matthew Stafford scored a touchdown that would give the Lions a one point victory over a decimated Cowboys team. Another heartbreaking loss for Tony Romo.

The Cardinals bye week helps its players rest up for a chance to make a run for a playoff spot in the NFC West. The Giants and Jaguars have no chance whatsoever to make a playoff appearance in 2013.

Cincinnati Bengals 28 – Miami Dolphins 21
The Bengals are on a roll and Andy Dalton is finding exciting ways to help his team be king of the hill in the AFC North.

Kansas City Chiefs 35 – Buffalo Bills 19
Coach Andy Reid and Alex Smith have been a good mix in their can do win attitude and this spells doom for a Buffalo Bills team holding a losing hand in week 9.

San Diego Chargers 31 – Washington Redskins 23
This is a game the Chargers need to win - as they fight to stay 2 games above 500.

Minnesota Vikings 24 – Dallas Cowboys 28
A must need win the Cowboys must have to remain favorites in the lethargic NFC East.

Tennessee Titans 19 – St. Louis Rams 23
The woeful Rams find a way to pull off a victory over a disappointing Titans team.

Atlanta Falcons 19 – Carolina Panthers 31
Cam Newton is finally getting into a good grove with his receiving core, and as the Panthers put together a 3-game winning streak, this will be a game they will dominate.

New Orleans Saints 38 – New York Jets 23
Between the Saints offense fire power and their stout defense, the Jets don’t stand a chance to get over the 500 mark.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers 17 – Seattle Seahawks 35
Russell Wilson will produce more touchdowns this week and will help fantasy players make up for last weeks disappointing point difference.

Philadelphia Eagles 23 – Oakland Raiders 21
One more win may help the Eagles inch their way back to a possible wild card spot in the NFC East.

Pittsburgh Steelers 20 – New England Patriots 27
Tom Brady exudes leadership on offense and this will become a contagious recipe that will help the Patriots defeat a dead in the water Pittsburgh team.

Baltimore Ravens 23 – Cleveland Browns 17
A much needed win against a depleted Cleveland Browns team helps the Ravens get back to 500 in the AFC North.

Indianapolis Colts 35 – Houston Texans 17
Andrew Luck becomes the ultimate game manager to help his Colts defeat the Houston Texans in a no comprende contest.

Chicago Bears 19 – Green Bay Packers 35
Aaron Rodgers is having another Pro Bowl season and his leadership on the field will lead his team to another impressive win over their division rival. Defensive Coordinator Dom Capers has put together an impressive 4 game winning streak for his Packers defense and this means double trouble for a depleted Bears offense.

NFL Week 8 NFC South Power Rankings: Which Team will be “Top Gun” or a Flight Risk?

The Saints come off a bye-week and are ready to regain their dominance in the NFC Southern Division. A struggling Buffalo team on offense equals to a big plus for the rough and tough Saints defense. The Buffalo Bills defense has had their share of problems with costly penalties that has kept their team in limbo.

Drew Brees is having another Pro Bowl year and he is right on the heels of Peyton Manning in the yardage category.

Will Drew Brees make it a “Top Gun” game and make the Buffalo Bills be deemed a flight risk on their trip back home?

Cam Newton has taken giant steps in his quarterback decision making during the past three weeks, and his ability to read the field more precisely helped the Panthers get back to 500 in their week 7 win over a struggling Rams team.

Are the Carolina Panthers capable of becoming a “Top Gun” juggernaut in week 8?

Tony Gonzalez may perhaps have second thoughts on his decision to return to the Falcons lineup in 2013 due to their unflattering 2-4 record. It has been a disappointing and dismal 2013 season so far - for a Falcons team that has been a flight risk on all levels of their game.

Is it possible that the Atlanta Falcons veteran leadership on both sides of the ball can possibly help turn around their dismal 2013 NFL campaign?

Basically, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are not playing good football. This was supposed to be the year that the Buccaneers were touted as having a winning season, but their prediction has turned sour and their 2013 season is “Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay.”

NFL Week 5 Fantasy Players Drop List: Chicken Dinner Losers

Week 5 will prove to be a recycling time for the Minnesota Vikings and the Washington Redskins. Both teams have come off week 4 wins, but both teams are still struggling to make it on the way to 500. It has been a most disappointing start of the 2013 NFL season for a declining Steelers team, and even looks more grim for the Buccaneers – which are on pace to have the worst losing record ever.

The players listed in this fantasy list for week 5 will not be the top money earners, and it may be time for fantasy players to adjust their ranking list accordingly.

QB Drop List:                                      Running Back Drop List:
1 Mathew Stafford                                 1 Reggie Bush
2 Matt Schaub                                        2 Darren Sproles
3 Jay Cutler                                            3 Ray Rice
4 Cam Newton                                       4 Knowshon Moreno
5 Tony Romo                                         5 Eddie Lacy

Top 5 Wide Receivers Drop List: Calvin Johnson, Dez Bryant, Victor Cruz, DeSean Jackson, Andre Johnson.

Top 5 Tight End Drop List: Charles Clay, Brandon Myers, Jared Cook, Greg Olson, Kellen Winslow.

The compilation of this week 5 fantasy list is designed by my personal view - resting on how these players may perform in comparison to their top-notch counterparts.
