Fearless Rick & Coin Flip NFL Week 9 Early Games
All times Eastern
Week 8 Results: Rick 7-7; Flip: 7-7
Thursday, November 5
Jacksonville Jaguars (-10, 40.5) @ Baltimore Ravens (8:15 pm, Amazon Prime Video) - The Ravens are in a world of hurt without Lamar Jackson, who may be gone for the season via a thumb injury early in Baltimore’s 36-10 loss at Buffalo last week.
Jacksonville is coming off a 42-7 throttling of the Colts last week in Indy. They are riding high and the Ravens look like victims.
Coin Flip: Jacksonville
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Jaguars 31 Ravens 13
Cincinnati Bengals (-3, 52.5) @ Atlanta Falcons (9:30 am NFL Network, Madrid) - Atlanta can be excused for its 16-0 loss at home to the Buccaneers last week. The game was played in a swamp. Put a line through it.
The Bengals had to go to overtime to defeat the Titans in Tennessee last week, 43-36. Their defense means that Joe Burrow and gang will likely have to outscore their remaining opponents. Edge to the Falcons, lads.
Coin Flip: Cincinnati
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Falcons 27 Bengals 24
Denver’s epic, 28-24, win over KC last Sunday, may have given the Broncos a needed boost of confidence, but they must avoid a letdown after such an emotional victory. They should. Bo Nix looked focused in the second half and the offense really got rolling. Denver’s defense is solid as a rock.
Coin Flip: Denver
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Broncos 24 Panthers 14
The 4-4 Rams are obviously not meshing well enough on offense. Beating the 0-7 Chargers 24-9 is not a testament to prolific offense.
Coin Flip: Washington
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Commanders 26 Rams 24
Having to play on the road against a likely playoff team doesn’t bode well for a Jets’ victory.
Coin Flip: New York Jets
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Chiefs 34 Jets 17
Cleveland hits the road for a second straight week and has thus far been impressive, running up a 5-3 record (2-3 in road games). Both teams play matador-style defense, so expect the final score to be in the ozone.
Coin Flip: Cleveland
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Saints 34 Browns 27
At least the Giants have a serviceable QB in J.J. McCarthy.
Coin Flip: Philadelphia
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Giants 23 Eagles 16
About the best thing that can be said about the Colts is that they have won one of three home games this season and may find a defense willing to even up that mark, even though their own defense has allowed more points than has Dallas (222-213). Take the OVER.
Coin Flip: Dalas
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Colts 35 Cowboys 31
Miami is getting a little better every week and Detroit is coming off a statement win over Minnesota last week, so they might not be fully engaged in Miami. Could be the upset of the week.
Coin Flip: Miami
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Dolphins 27 Lions 24
