NFL Week 9 Preview/Predictions/John Fox Likley Needs Heart Surgery

Here are my predictions for NFL week 10. This is another mostly dull week around the league. Let's get into it.
Note: Praise the Lord the Jacksonville
1:00 P.M.

 

Jaguars are not playing this week.
Chiefs(8-0) at Bills(3-5)
The Chiefs have been in my opinion the feel good story of this season. Just when it looked like Andy Reid's coaching career had reached it's end, he has completely turned around a franchise that was 2-14 in 2012. Add that to the tragedy Reid has had to endure with the death of his son, and it is really hard not to be happy for him to have the success he is having in KC. I expect the Chiefs to continue the roll that they are on against a mediocre at best Buffalo team, although I think it will be close considering KC is not known for blowing teams out.

Prediction: Chiefs 28, Bills 24

Vikings(1-6) at Cowboys(4-4)

The Cowboys are resembling a reality show more than a Superbowl contender, as they are nothing but drama, weather it has been blown out of proportion or not(Dez Bryant). However, Minnesota has had an awful year after making the playoffs in 2012. Tony Romo and Dallas will roll after that heartbreaker in Detroit last week.

Prediction: Cowboys 38, Vikings 17

 

Titans(3-4) at Rams(3-4)

Prediction: Rams 31, Titans 21

Saints(6-1) at Jets(4-4)
Drew Brees will once again do what Drew Brees does, and the Saints will take care of business against a Jets team that is looking more like the team we expected to see coming into the year after last weeks awful effort against the Bengals.

Prediction: Saints 45, Jets 24

Chargers(4-3) at Redskins(2-5)

Even though the Redskins nickname has been talked about more than their play on the field, I expect them to carry the momentum from last week's win over Chicago and win this one led by Robert Griffin III.

Prediction: Redskins 38, Chargers 24

Falcons(2-5) at Panthers(4-3)

QB Cam Newton and Carolina have been surprising this season at 4-3, while the Falcons have been incredibly disappointing at 2-5. I expect Cam and the Panthers to pull this one out because I fell that they have more momentum right now.

Prediction: Panthers 34, Falcons 24

4:05

Eagles(3-4) at Raiders(3-4)

2 mediocre teams. I will take Oakland in this one. They are playing at home and QB Terrell Pryor has the tools and is playing very well this season.

Prediction: Raiders 31, Eagles 20

Buccaneers(0-7) at Seahawks(7-1)
This game will prove that Halloween is not over yet. It will be scary.

Prediction: Seahawks 45, Buccaneers 10

 

4:25

Ravens(3-4) at Browns(3-5)

Baltimore has been disappointing a year after their Superbowl title. I still expect them to win this one over the Browns who are, well, the Browns. Art Modell will be watching from upstairs, as he owned and loved both of these teams.

Prediction: Ravens 28, Browns 17

Steelers(2-5) at Patriots(6-2)

Although New England is not the same team you are used to seeing, they are still good and the Steelers are not. Tom Brady is still Tom Brady and will do his thing.

Prediction: Patriots 38, Steelers 17

Sunday Night Football

Colts(5-2) at Texans(2-5)

Andrew Luck and the Colts will prolong the Texans disappointment, as they have been very good this season. I think they will win this one despite the loss of key WR Reggie Wayne.

Prediction: Colts 28, Texans 17

                                                           
                                                          Monday Night Football
                                                          Bears(4-3) at Packers(5-2)
Probably the best game of the week, I expect Aaron Rodgers, in my opinion the best QB in the game today, and the Packer offense to have another big night against the struggling Bears defense.
Prediction: Packers 41, Bears 24

In other football news, Broncos coach John Fox is expected to need heart surgery this week that could sideline him for as long as 2 months according to a team official. The 58 year old Fox was hospitalized after feeling light headed while playing golf in Charlotte, North Carolina, near his offseason home with friends and family on Saturday. Fox was aware that he had a heart condition that would require surgery and was hoping to avoid it until after the end of the season. Fox claimed to be ''doing fine'' in a text. Offensive coordinator Adam Gase and defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio are expected to have additional duties. This type of story reminds you that there are more important things in life then football, and I pray that Coach Fox has a strong recovery.

That's it for this article. Thanks for reading.
