Week 8 was just weird. St. Louis put a totally unexpected beatdown on New Orleans, Dallas didn’t even compete in their divisional battle against Philadelphia, and after eight weeks of play the San Francisco 49ers have a damn-near-clinching four game lead in the NFC West.
Wha-what?
So what could Week 9 possibly have in store for us?
As I mentioned in this week’s Bettor’s Guide, that 49ers-Redskins game may not the slam-dunk San Fran victory some seem to think it will be. The 49ers have to travel east to play in the early time slot. Remember that when they beat Philly earlier this year in the early time slot, they had stayed out in Ohio the previous week after their game against Cincinnati.
Another game to keep in an eye on that should be fun will be Green Bay-San Diego. Both offenses are capable of putting up big numbers. We’ll see if Philip Rivers and the Chargers’ offense can actually do it though; they need to, to make amends for last week’s “worst day ever” debacle.
And don’t forget to pay close attention to the Atlanta-Indy and Miami-Kansas City games to see if either team can gain an advantage in the Suck for Luck Sweepstakes.
