Headline: The Disappointment Bowl – Eagles face Saints in Week 9
There is no shortage of NFL fans that had Monday, November 5 circled on their calendar as one of the most anticipated games of the season for both the Philadelphia Eagles and the New Orleans Saints. It’s too bad that Monday night’s showdown will be a battle for respectability rather than one of potential playoff teams.
Headline: Cowboys Try to Knock Falcons from the Unbeaten Ranks in Week 9
The Dallas Cowboys face their second straight elite NFL team Sunday when they travel to Atlanta to take on the unbeaten Falcons. Atlanta was impressive yet again last week in defeating the Eagles 30-17 while the Cowboys were impressive minus the first quarter in a thrilling Week 9 loss to the Giants. Sunday will be a statement game for both teams – who wants it more?
Headline: Post Bye-Week Battle – Buffalo Travels to Houston in Week 9
The top team in the AFC the Houston Texans return to action this week after an uber-impressive beat down of the Baltimore Ravens and a bye week to take on a thus far underwhelming Buffalo team also coming off a much needed bye. The oddsmakers aren’t giving the Bills a whole lot of love in this one – a double digit spread will likely be a reality ahead of this game.
Headline: Surprising NFC Teams Clash – Vikings at Seahawks in Week 9
Two of the nicest stories in the NFC write another chapter on Sunday when the 5-3 Minnesota Vikings travel to Seattle to take on one of the best home teams in the league – the Seattle Seahawks. Although it is still early in the season, both teams are coming off Week 8 losses and both absolutely need wins to stay in the NFC Wild Card picture.
Headline: Heavyweight Showdown Sunday – Steelers visit Giants
Two of the more successful NFL franchises of the last decade meet in an important Week 9 game Sunday with the visiting team absolutely needing a win and the home team not exactly needing to claim victory in order to maintain their lead in what has turned out to be a weak NFL East. Both teams are coming off wins in Week 8 and will be looking to keep the momentum going.
Headline: The Strive for .500 – Bucs vs. Raiders in Week 9
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers head to Oakland this week – both teams will be looking to build of Week 8 wins and will be in search of a respectable 4-4 record. We saw some good things from both of these teams in Week 8 – both are still alive as far as the playoffs go but each needs a win to keep that dream alive.
Last week was a quiet one for the Canadian Football League, with just four teams in action. It’s more of the same this week, with another four teams enjoying a bye.
1 (1). Winnipeg Blue Bombers
Winnipeg holds onto the top spot after getting a bye last week. The Blue Bombers have just a single loss this season and, at 6-1, lead Montreal by a game in the East Division.
The “D” has gotten a ton of credit for the hot start, and deservedly so, but the offense hasn’t been too bad either—Fred Reid is second in the CFL in rushing yards.
2 (2). Montreal Alouettes
Montreal was one of four teams with a bye last week. The Alouettes won back-to-back games heading into the week off, and they’re doing it just like you might expect—with offense. Anthony Calvillo has been typically brilliant; he leads the CFL with 14 touchdown passes and is second with 2095 passing yards. 
3 (3). Calgary Stampeders
Another team with a bye… another team holding its spot from last week’s power rankings. Calgary has exploded in its past two games, racking up 77 points. Henry Burris has cranked up his game after a solid but unspectacular start, throwing four touchdowns, 639 yards and no interceptions in his past two outings.

4 (5). Hamilton Tiger-Cats
Hamilton rounds out the bye-week teams, all of which oddly either held ground or moved up. The Tiger-Cats haven’t been able to build much momentum, and at 4-3 they have some work to do in the East Division. Perhaps the week off will give them a chance to regroup and string together their second winning streak of the season.
5 (8). British Columbia Lions
The Lions hammered Edmonton 36-1 last week, and B.C. wound up with two CFL Player of the Week awards. Receiver Arland Bruce exploded for nine catches, 129 yards and two scores—in just his second game with the Leos, no less. Defensive tackle Aaron Hunt earned defensive honours after notching five tackles and three sacks. [ad-4437448]
6 (7). Toronto Argonauts
Toronto creeps up a spot after squeaking past Saskatchewan 24-18. The Boatmen have just two wins this season, but taking a win into their bye this week is massive. Of course, it would help if the Argos got to play the lowly Roughriders every week.
7 (4). Edmonton Eskimos
There’s no getting around it—the Eskimos are free falling. Ricky Ray has completely melted down, and he threw three interceptions in last week’s 36-1 embarrassment against British Columbia. That makes it three straight losses for Edmonton, which has scored just 21 points in the past three weeks—and only five points (five!) it its past two outings.
8 (8). Saskatchewan Roughriders
Woof. The Roughriders can’t get much worse at 1-7. They were competitive in last week’s 24-18 loss to the Argonauts, but competitive doesn’t mean squat—just ask Greg Marshall. Marshall was fired as head coach and replaced with VP-Football Operations Ken Miller.
Miller led the Roughriders to back-to-back Grey Cup appearances during a three-year stint as Saskatchewan’s head coach in 2008-2010.
