The NFL is about to pass the halfway mark on what is shaping up to be another crazy season.  While Major League Baseball just wrapped up another season where a team who operates on a different economic platform then lesser opponents won the World Series we are knee deep in another season of parity that has left oddmakers, bookies, office poolers and arm chair quarterbacks scratching their heads.  What do we know?  What teams are legit?  How are we supposed to predict this stuff?  Week 9 leaves us with another tough slate of games, for full thoughts on each matchup click here for our Week 9 podcast. (I apologize for bypassing the New Orleans game, I wrote down the picks by hand from my phone and totally missed it.  My bad.)
