The Twins Week 9 Picks!

Yvonne's Game of the Week - Indianapolis Colts at Philadelphia Eagles

Indianapolis Colts are visiting the Philadelphia Eagles, who should be well-rested after their Bye week. This game will be show of two star QBs with two different QB styles.
Indianapolis is trying to extend is 5-2 record and stay atop the AFC South. Meanwhile the 4-3 Eagles are in 2nd place in the NFC East.
This should be pretty interesting. The Colts have been on a winning streak of late, but they have also shown some kinks that could be exploited.
Will Vick be healthy and able to play his style of football?
Honestly, I am a Mike Vick fan, and I am rooting for him to do well. But Vick's mobile-quarterbacking abilities works well in the NFC, but not so much in the AFC, where defensive ends are fast, and Dwight Freeney is one of the fastest. Additionally, I am firm in my view that any AFC South team (including the Jaguars) is better than most NFC teams. No disrespect.

Given that, I'm of course going with the Colts, 24-14.

Yvette's Game of the Week -Dallas Cowboy at Green Bay Packers

How low can they go?!?!  This is my game of the week for the wrong reasons. I am curious to see what the Cowboys can do to salvage their season. Will they fight back and win against an injury riddled Green Bay, or with they lay down and wish for better days?  I say the latter.
NOTHING about the Cowboys screams 'FIGHT'. Look at their 1-6 record. It speaks volumes about their mental toughness. 

The Packers however, with all the injuries to key players could have an excuse for under perfoming. Instead, they are the polar opposites. They are staying afloat and getting healthy leading the NFC North with a 5-3 records.

With the injuries to Al Harris, Atari Bigby and now add cornerback Pat Lee, the Cowboys receivers could  attempt to taken advantage of the weak Green Bay secondary.  But unfortunately for them, the key Cowboy injury, Tony Romo,  greatly hurts a team already in disarry.
Could you have imagined the Cowboys being 1-7?!?!?

Green Bay now adds Donald Driver to the injury list.  He is out for the game on Sunday. With a running game hampered by injuries points are going to be hard to come.
But unlike the Cowboys,  Green Bay is the tough team and toughness will prevail.

I pick Green Bay, 31-24
