Flea Flicker Week 9 Predictions

The NFL had to be thrilled with an unprecedented flurry of trades this past week. Exciting times. Hopefully this week's games can match those thrills.

Byes: Chicago Bears, Cleveland Browns, Los Angeles Rams, Minnesota Vikings, New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers

Atlanta Falcons @ Carolina Panthers
Pick: Falcons
One of these days the Falcons might play like they played last season and 3/4 of the Super Bowl.

Baltimore Ravens @ Tennessee Titans
Pick: Titans
The Ravens are nearly as inconsistent as the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Indianapolis Colts @ Houston Texans
Pick: Colts
Andrew Luck vs DeShaun Watson. That would be a fun game. That quarterback matchup will have to wait a year. In it's place we'll be treated to Jacoby Brissett vs Tom Savage.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ New Orleans Saints
Pick: Saints
The Saints are playing as well as nearly anyone in the league right now. And they're at home.

Denver Broncos @ Philadelphia Eagles
Pick: Eagles
Will Brock Osweiler be the Broncos savior? I don't think so.

Cincinnati Bengals @ Jacksonville Jaguars
Pick: Bengals
The Jaguars are up one week down the next. Unless they break that pattern this is scheduled to be a down week.

Los Angeles Rams @ New York Giants
Pick: Giants
This is just a wild stab at an upset.

Arizona Cardinals @ San Francisco 49ers
Pick: 49ers
The 49ers have to win one of these weeks. This seems like a better opportunity than most.

Washington Redskins @ Seattle Seahawks
Pick: Seahawks
The Seahawks are gaining steam.

Kansas City Chiefs @ Dallas Cowboys
Pick: Chiefs
The ridiculous soap opera of the Ezekiel Elliott suspension takes some shine off of this fine matchup. But he's playing this week so maybe this game is shiny.

Oakland Raiders @ Miami Dolphins
Pick: Raiders
Both teams have been disappointing but someone has to win. The Raiders are more explosive. And the Dolphins have Jay Cutler.

Detroit Lions @ Green Bay Packers
Pick: Lions
I actually feel like Brett Hundley is going to surprise on the big stage of Monday night. But I'm still picking the Lions.
