Sean’s Top 3 Games For Week 9.

Week 8 of the NFL season is officially in the books.

We had ourselves a good ole fashioned butt whooping, with Dallas beating up on Los Angeles.

The Jets beat the Giants in the “Battle of New York City”, in a game that was dreadful to watch and seemed like nobody wanted to win.

It took 3 turnovers and a “missed” holding call for the Seahawks to beat the Browns in a nail bitter.

There are some interesting games to choose from, especially now after the NFL Trade Deadline has passed.

So, without further ado, here are the 3 games that you should watch for during Week 9.

Denver Broncos, Detroit Lions, San Francisco 49ers and Jacksonville Jaguars, are on their bye week.

Game One.

Dallas Cowboys (5-2) at Philadelphia Eagles (7-1).
Game starts at 4:25 PM (EST) on FOX.

• The Cowboys have won 4 out of the last 5 games in the series, but the Eagles have won 3 of the last 4 in Philadelphia.
  
• Both teams come into the game with Top 10 Defenses in the NFL. Philly at #10 and Dallas at #3.
  
• Eagles WR A.J. Brown has been on fire, will Cowboys CB Stephon Gilmore be able to keep him under wraps?

My Prediction:

The Cowboys offensive line is banged up and the Eagles defensive line has been playing well all season. They’re 6th in league, coming in with 26 sacks through 8 games.

Eagles win 34-30.

Game Two.

Seattle Seahawks (5-2) at Baltimore Ravens (6-2).
Game starts at 1:00 PM (EST) on CBS.

• The Baltimore Ravens have the #1 overall ranked defense in the league. The Seahawks have the 13th ranked defense.
  
• Seattle has the 11th ranked offense in the league. Meanwhile the Ravens have the 14th ranked offense.
  
• Both teams also rank in the Top 5 in team sacks. Baltimore is #1 with 31 sacks and Seattle is 5th with 26 sacks.

My Prediction:

Both teams are coming into this game relatively healthy. Seattle has the far more superior skill players. But Baltimore just seems to find a way to continue picking up wins though.

Ravens win 31-28.

Game Three.

Miami Dolphins (6-2) vs Kansas City Chiefs (6-2).
Game starts at 9:30 AM (EST) on NFL Network.

• Mahomes vs Tua. I mean come on folks.
  
• The Chiefs have the 6th ranked defense in the NFL, meanwhile the Dolphins come in ranked 19th.
  
• Both teams get to the QB. Kansas City ranks 3rd in team sacks with 28 and Miami is right behind them in 4th with 27 sacks.

My Prediction:

The NFL went all out for the first ever game in Frankfurt, Germany. They are hoping for a high powered, high scoring game. I think they’ll get only half of their wish.

Dolphins win 35-21.
