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 East Power Rankings: Which Big Time Playas’ Will Eat Crow?

The Cowboys remain number one in the NFC East, but the drama continues to unfold for the Cowboys as they battle to establish their ghost like identity in week 8. Tony Romo will continue to receive damming criticism from Dallas fans, the NFL community, and his peers on his fourth quarter antics.

Can the Cowboys stop the bleeding and capture a victory in week 8?

Will the Detroit Lions make owner Jerry Jones eat crow?

Matthew Stafford took his lumps in week 7 against a nasty Bengals defense, but that beat down may help him be a big time playa’ in week 8 – “the nightmare before Halloween.”

Coach Chip Kelly has been under fire with Philly fans for his play book schemes that have seemed to run out of steam. Rookie head coach Chip Kelly will soon come to find “the city of brotherly love” has little tolerance on having to live through another losing season.

RG3 second season has been a bumpy one filled with up and down feel good moments. The road for RG3 does not get any easier as he faces one of his most formidable opponents in the Denver Broncos in week 8.

Does RG3 have the skills to make the Denver Broncos eat crow in a supposed lopsided week 8 matchup?

Will the Giants defense make Michael Vick eat crow, or will the Eagles defense make it a very long day for Eli Manning?

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.
