Greg Cote's Week 9 NFL picks

We busted the shackles of our mini-slump and were flat-out smokin' in a Week 8 that saw us 12-2 straight-up and (even more satisfying) a wondrous 11-3 against the spread. That included another Upset of the Week bull's-eye on Seahawks winning at Lions ("Aawwk!"), two other tiny upsets by Cardinals and Saints, and a pair of 'dogs-with-points in Packers and Bucs. We were also right-on with Dolphins' Thursday night loss. For the year we're up over .700 (hallowed ground) overall and better than 57 percent slaying the Evil Betting Line. Can we keep it going? Oh let's do! (Note: Thursday night pick was Raiders (+3) over 49ers, 23-20.)
