NFL Daily Presents: Week 9 ATS

All the great picks and analysis with The Football Scientist KC Joyner and Ken Moll and Matt Williamson from Scouts' INC.

-Detroit-Denver is a really interesting one right off the bat. The Broncos played well last week, but got heartbroken by the Packers. How will they respond? I'm gonna side with the Lions and Jon Kitna at home, and I'll put my money on Kevin Jones having a really good game against a weak Denver run d.
-Who do i trust more, the Falcons or those Phishing sites? I mean, I might believe some fake person pretending to be a diamond trader in Burkina-Faso more than Atlanta. I think that Alex Smith and Vernon Davis are back at full strength and I'll take the Niners in an upset.
-Buffalo is on the rise, the Bengals are in decline. It will be closer with Just Pathetic Losman at the helm for the Bills, Cincy is on such a downward spiral that I'll go with Marshawn Lynch and Buffalo.
-The Titans defense will be primed and ready against a Carolina team with David Carr at QB. The Panthers must get Steve Smith the ball if they want to win; he had a grand total of two catches in a loss last week, and they'll be toast once again in a hostile environment if that is once again the case. I think that Vince Young will have to play a bigger role this week, because LenDale White won't be studly forever. I'll take Tennessee by five plus.
-Packers-Chiefs. Favre and Larry Johnson. What's gonna happen, Ken Moll?
"The K.C. defense has played better in the past few weeks but Favre will get his yards. They need to make sure that the Packers don't have an effective ground attack as they did vs. the Broncos. The Pakcers will crowd the LOS and over play LJ and this should open up the passing game for K.C."
A major reason why Green Bay won last week is that Ryan Grant kept the defense honest with a really good game, which enabled Favre to go deep over the top for the win. The Pack will definitely key on Johnson on the defensive side, which could open things up for Tony Gonzalez and Dwayne Bowe. That being said, I'll take the Pack riding the momentum wave.
-The Vikings lack of QB play will once again doom them against the Chargers. San Diego could put nine men in the box against AP and still shut them down. Can the Minnesota slow LaDanian Tomlinson down, and force Phillip Rivers to throw more than he should? This has blowout written ALL over it.
-Saints-Jaguars is a great battle of two opposing units. The New Orleans offense is finally hitting its stride, and Jacksonville's defense is always supertough. If THE GAME ends up being a blowout, this could be the best of the weekend. I'll take the Jags D in a close one.
-The Scientist has arrived! What is KC Joyner's lock of the week?
"Skins over Jets in a blowout. Jets can't stop the run, can't stop the pass and Clemens looked positively mediocre last week. Skins will bounce back in a big way and dominate this game."
-Arizona usually plays a team like Tampa Bay tough, but I think that Gruden gets the Bucs up for this one, and they'll cover against the Cards.
-The Browns and Seahawks is also one of those overlooked games in a great matchup week. Matt Williamson has the keys to this one:
"I think Seattle will come out throwing from multiple WR sets much more so than they have in the past this season. Can Cleveland get to Hasslebeck at ALL? Can the DBs keep up?"
I also think that Alexander will have a good game, and Marcus Trufant could do a really good job against Braylon Edwards. How will the Browns respond in a big game when they're favored. I say they'll wilt, gimme the Hawks.
-I'm sure you've heard analysis from everyone in the world about Pats-Colts, but I'll make it really Miss Teen South Carolina simple: Until someone is able to slow New England down, they won't lose, and I don't think it'll be the Colts. Pats between 10-20 points.
-I'll take the Raiders to win plus a field goal against a down Texans team.
-Does the NFC East really go through Philly? If so, then give Dallas the division crown and the three points.
-Great MNF rivalry match. The Ravens and Steelers always play really close, and though PGH may win, they won't cover a TD plus.
