NFL Week 9 - Predictions, Thoughts, and Ramblings
And congrats to the Texas Rangers....
There are a couple of big games this weekend. Kansas City and the Dolphins butt heads in Frankfurt on Sunday morning. The Dolphins have been in Frankfurt since Monday, climatizing, having fun as a team, and working on their game.
The Chiefs arrived on Thursday.
Games Sunday.
There’s little time to adjust. Some won’t have any problems sleeping. Others will. I think this is a huge advantage for the Dolphins. Dolphins win and we’ll have to hear Tyreek Hill continuing to talk trash about Patrick Mahomes.
The second big game is the Cowboys vs. the Eagles. This is a more critical game for the Cowboys than the Eagles. Eagles are a tough team. Mentally and physically. Cowboys are perceived as a soft team despite their top rated defense and dynamic pass rush. They crush good teams. Disappear against great teams.
Yes, the Cowboys were 7 - 1 last year against teams over .500. But two of those victories were against the Giants - a team they were suppose to beat - the Vikings that were about 7 plays away from being a winless team, the Bengals without a healthy Burrows, and the Eagles when they were resting half of their team. 7 -1 doesn’t look so impressive.
Cowboys need to prove to themselves they can play with the big boys. I’ll give them the nod. Cowboys win. But if they get blown out, I’m done with them.
