NFL Picks: Week 9

I only picked one underdog last week, and they won. By far the weirdest thing about last week was the fact that Kellen Clemens covered against the Seahawks. Then of course, because he's Kellen Clemens, he failed when they had a chance to win at the end of the game.

As for this week, as always, I made my Thursday Night pick on twitter (@WilliamBotchway):

My Pick for Tonight's game: Bengals (-3) over DOLPHINS.

Well thanks to Giovani Bernard in the fourth quarter (FANTASY TEAM ALERT!), the Bengals had a real chance to cover as long as they scored a touchdown in overtime. But of course, Andy Dalton got sacked in the end zone by Cameron Wake, and the Bengals not only failed to cover, but failed to win. In the process, Geno Atkins tore his ACL, all but killing their chances of winning the AFC.

This makes be 0-1 on the week, 6-3 on Thursday night games, and 62-58-2 on the season. I have a lot of things to do, so just picks this week.

UPSET ALERT next to games in which I think the underdog will win outright, not just cover. Home team in CAPS. 

Chiefs (-3.5) over BILLS.
COWBOYS (-9.5) over Vikings.
Titans (-1) over KELLEN CLEMENS. 
Saints (-6) over JETS.
WASHINGTON PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM (+1) over Chargers. UPSET ALERT.
PANTHERS (-7.5) over Falcons.
RAIDERS (-2.5) over Eagles. 
SEAHAWKS (-15) over Buccaneers. 
BROWNS (+3) over Ravens. UPSET ALERT.
PATRIOTS (-7) over Steelers.
Colts (Pick'Em) over TEXANS. 
Bears (+12) over PACKERS.

Last Week: 8-5
This Week: 0-1
Season: 62-58-2
