NFL Week 9 Preview | TV Schedule – Announcers – Point Spreads – Over/Under

Click here for the current NFL TV schedule and Announcer Pairings for Week 15

Every week in a 16-game season is huge, and Week 9 of the 2008 NFL season is no exception. There are a plethora of games, and many of them already have playoff implications.

And we’re going to start a new and completely subjective feature this week. I will be splitting the games into 5 different categories based on how interesting I perceive them to be. The theme of this week’s categories, in honor of the recent announcement by the Big Ten Network, will be Announcers.

Let’s get right to them, going from most important to least important.

(FYI — All times are ET. Point spreads and Over/Under are according to Danny Sheridan’s line as of 10/29. For injury information, go to the NFL.com injury report. Also, follow the link to see the Week 9 coverage map to figure out which games will be shown in your area.)
