Week eight was a solid week. With only two losses, I notched the best picking week of the season with a 12-2 record. Of course, my Philadelphia Eagles cost me near perfection, but I was also way off on my Panthers vs. 49ers prediction. The 49ers are extremely good; I have no idea why I doubted them. Week 9 has a couple of tough games – like the Panthers vs. Ravens, – and I’ll enter week 9 still searching for perfection. Here are my week 9 predictions:
