Yvonne’s Game of the Week – Philadelphia Eagles @ Washington Redskins
Nothing beats Monday night Football! And this match-up will be intriguing. This is a tale of two teams on two different trajectories; the Eagles going up, the Redskins going down. The rested Washington Redskins, despite McNabb’s call to “move on”, are still reeling from their loss to the Detroit Lions and Coach Shannahan’s questionable 4th Quarter QB change and baffling series of explanations thereafter.
The Eagles, on the other hand are ready to avenge their Week 4 loss; Mike Vick was knocked out of the game early, and his absence was immediately felt. Michael Vick looked incredible last week against the Indianapolis Colts, easily his best game of the season (if not, ever) thus far.
The Redskins will need the same kind of physical play from their defense as in week 4. They will also need to rely heavily on their run game, since their air game appears to be sputtering.
The Eagles will need to match the Redskins physicality. Their run defense in Week 4 was missing, but has since improved. And of course, Mike Vick will need to continue his fantastic play.
Overall, The Eagles just appear to be a team on the rise, the Redskins are not. Philadelphia Eagles, 24-10
Yvette’s Game of the Week - New England Patriots @ Pittsburgh Steelers
Sunday Night Football. Two 6-2 teams. Both are arguably the best of the AFC…
Well, I happen to believe that the New England Patriots aren’t as good as people tout them to be. And Sunday evening, the Pittsburgh Steelers will prove it.
With an Un-Patriot-like loss to the Cleveland Browns last week, I fully expect them to rebound.
However, facing the toughness of the Pittsburgh defense is not what you want, when you are trying to get over a tough loss.
Although the Patriots have their newest weapon, Peyton Hillis performing out of his mind, The Steelers will take away the run, leaving Tom Brady to will the Patriots to Victory. But the sack-happy Steelers will make Brady’s job very difficult. Some teams have had some success passing against the Steelers; I don’t expect the Patriots to be one of them.
Pittsburgh on the other hand has the tough Big Ben Roethlisberger at the helm and I not certain they have an answer for him.
I just believe that the Steelers are the better team. Pittsburgh Steelers 28-14

Yvonne: I would say Vincent Jackson is the Lisa Wu-Hartwell of the NFL....
Yvette: RIGHT! He ain’t on the show! LOL!

Yvonne: WRONG! LOL! Matches his jersey, though! LOL!
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
