Before diving into the predictions for NFL Week 9, I want readers to know that if all my choices are incorrect this week, I hold Halloween responsible. It’s easily one of my top three favorite holidays: indulging in candy, buying more pumpkins than necessary (I really should stop with the pumpkins), and binge-watching horror films.
Recommendations for NFL Fan Bases
Based on my horror movie viewing, I’d like to recommend a few titles for specific NFL fan bases this week:
- Saw: Perfect for Bengals fans, who would perhaps prefer to remove a body part rather than endure another down of their defense.
- Scream: Ideal for Steelers fans amidst constant frustration whenever their defense is on the field.
- The Ring: Recommended for Cowboys fans who haven鈥檛 won a Super Bowl ring in 30 years; this might be the closest they come to obtaining one.
The Cowboys, Bengals, and Steelers boast among the league’s weakest defenses, but will that deter me from picking them this week? Let’s get to the predictions!
