Greg Cote's Week 9 NFL picks

History! I have been at these NFL picks in the Miami Herald since 1991 _ that's 29 seasons _ and last week's 15-0 record straight-up was my first-ever perfect week. (Where's my welcome-to-the-club from Don Shula and his '72 Perfectos?) I stumbled in an OK 7-8 against the spread, nailing another Upset of the Week with Chargers' win at Chicago ("Aawwk!"), and a second outright upset hit with Eagles winning in Buffalo. Also had Dolphins with points in Pittsburgh. Usually my ATS record means more to me, but, hey, 15-0 is 15-0! My previous record for best weekly win percentage was .929 (13-1), and for most wins I'd had a handful of 14-2s. But never a Perfecto _ until now. The only negative: Nowhere to go but down? (Note: Thursday night pick was 49ers (-10) over At Cardinals, 27-13.)
