Week 9 in the NFL

Hey football fans, guess who is not going to be bored on sunday night again, us! After not having a sunday night game last weekend the NFL has placed the Indianapolis Colts and the New England Patriots in the spotlight of SNF, sunday night football. Although it is not prime time like monday night football is, it will at least give football fans something worth watching on sunday night this week. Not only will we get to enjoy football but we will get to enjoy a great game between the Colts and Patriots. So many people have counted the Patriots out just because of Tom Brady's knee injury, which by the way has been giving him problems due to an infection and he will most likely miss the remainder of the season. The Patriots are 5-2 and tied for the lead of the AFC Eastern division but for some reason the NFL community has forgot about them. Their presence will be shown tonight when they face the 3-4 Colts. The Colts have given up an average of 23 points per game thanks to their run defense which ranks 26th in the NFL. This plays perfect into New Englands hand's because of their tendency to run the football and their inability to throw the football. Althought this game is in the beautiful, new Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, the New England Patriots will come out with the win.

Injury Updates:

-PIT Willie Parker (knee) has been practicing and is listed as probable after missing 4 straight games.
-NE Sammy Morris (knee) is out for this weeks game against Indianapolis.
-IND Reggie Wayne (knee) is listed as questionable and a game-time decision.
-DAL Jason Witten (ribs) is questionable but did make the trip to New York with the team.
-DAL Tony Romo (finger) is still out and should return in week 11.

Week 9 Studs:

QB- Donovan McNabb: Facing the 30th rank pass defense of Seattle, McNabb should have a great week especially due to the return of one of his favorite targets, Kevin Curtis. McNabb is the quarterback of the week and will throw for 3 touchdowns along with 255 yards.

RB- Rookie Matt Forte is going to show the league why he should have been picked in the first round of last years draft when he plays this week. Forte is up against the winless Detroit Lions defense who is 31st in the league when it comes to run defense. Forte will have 2 touchdowns and his second 100 yard rushing game when he puts up 115 yards of rushing.

WR- This week im going out on a limb and saying that Houston's Andre Johnson will be the leading reciever. He is playing against Minnesota who has had a rough time stoping the pass. Look for Johnson to have a breakout game with 2 touchdowns and 130 yards.
