Big NFL Games for Week 9

It is a big week for the NFC East and AFC North. The NFC East - leading Giants go up against their Division rivals, the Dallas Cowboys. Despite the Cowboys’ well-publicized struggles this season, their record is just one win less than the Giants. If they could pull out a victory against NY, they would draw even with them in the win column although they would still have one more loss. However, a Cowboy win would have a secondary effect as well. A Dallas’ victory could open the door for the Redskins to take sole possession of the NFC East lead.

Allow us to use the Redskins to segue into our next big game: The 6-2 Redskins against the NFC North – leading Steelers. At 5-2, the Steelers lead their Division by just one game over the Ravens. Pittsburgh needs this victory to maintain this lead.

The 4-3 Ravens are our third feature game. They will be playing the 3-4 Browns. Earlier this season it seemed the Browns were out of contention but with their recent wins, which include a big victory over the Giants, they have managed to bring their record up to 3-4. If they can beat the Ravens, they would pull even with them at 4-4. Should the Redskins beat the Steelers and the Browns beat the Ravens, the Ravens and Browns would both be one game behind the Steelers opening the playoff door for any team who gets hot later in the season except for - of course - the Bengals.
