Tony's Week 9 NFL picks against the spread
Tony's Top 5
Week 9 NFL picks against the spread
5
NY Giants -5 over San Diego. So Eli Manning hasn't been playing well of late. So what? Something suggests that the Giants are going to run wild in this game.
4
Indy-Houston Over 48. Not impressed much by the Houston defense and the Colts have injuries in the secondary. Winning money on games like this should qualify as a misdemeanor.
3
Miami +10 1/2 at New England. Pats will win this game, but spread seems unusually high for a divisional game against a well-coached team. Are Pats as good against the run as we think?
2
New Orleans -13 at Carolina. Normally would take a big number at home, but what happens when Jake Delhomme has to start throwing in the game. Bar the door.
1
Green Bay -9 1/2 at Tampa Bay. Packers got humiliated by Favre last week and Tampa Bay's pass defense stinks. Aaron Rodgers will shred this team.

Tony's Top 5
NFL quarterbacks of all-time
5
Troy Aikman. One of the great big-game quarterbacks of all-time, his regular-season stats don’t impress. But he was a winner.
4
John Elway. OK, so he didn’t win a Super Bowl until Terrell Davis came along. But he the arm, head and guts. Complete package.
3
Peyton Manning. When it’s all over, he will go down as the greatest passer of all-time. With another title or two, he could be more.
2
Tom Brady. The closest thing to Joe Montana since Montana retired. Had the Pats won Super Bowl XLII, he might have been No. 1.
1
Joe Montana. In four Super Bowl appearances, Montana went 4-0 and threw 11 touchdowns with no interceptions. Enough said.

Catching Tiger by the taleTiger doesn't need a swing coach he needs a swinger coach. Someone who can teach him how to step out. Calling her from his cell phone, leaving a recorded message on her phone what a dope.

A comprehensive breakdown of the PatsLet there be no doubt that this is a highly flawed team. However, there is no one in the AFC who scares me to the point that I don't think the Pats could beat them in January, even on the road which they will clearly have to do now.
