We’re officially at the midpoint season — or as midpoint as you can get with 17 weeks on the schedule.
As we approach Week 9 there’s a murderer’s row of difficult picks to make that are on par with the scariest stuff you’ll see this Halloween. One of the most fascinating games this weekend comes from the AFC with the Chargers and Browns facing off. Los Angeles is still finding its way with Jim Harbaugh, but are on the right trajectory — while Cleveland has stopped its descent into utter despair thanks to Jameis Winston.
We also have Saints vs. Panthers in the ugliest game of the week and who knows what will happen there. It’s all getting trickier down the stretch with the majority of teams giving their best Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde impressions, turning up week-to-week as completely different teams.
If you’re trying to make sense of it all these are our picks for Week 9.
