Harmon forecast:
Week 9 - Sunday, Nov. 6, 2005
Atlanta 23 *Miami 14 -- The Falcons' Warrick Dunn is having a terrific season and could be the difference here. The Dolphins will need to maximize the running back tandem of Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown.
*Kansas City 28 Oakland 24 -- Randy Moss surprised everyone by returning to action in Week 7. Moss' presense will help the Raiders, but the Chiefs have home-field advantage and an offense that has started to click after some early season woes.
*Jacksonville 21 Houston 17 -- The Texans' offensive struggles continue. There's no protection for David Carr and the running game has underachieved. Jacksonville is strong defensively and should be able to handle Houston with ease.
Tennessee 21 *Cleveland 20 -- The Titans have coped with a lot of offseason changes -- but so has Cleveland. The difference in this game will be Titans QB Steve McNair.
Cincinnati 21 *Baltimore 14 -- Chad Johnson and Carson Palmer have helped Cincinnati's offense execute at a high level. The Ravens are decent defensively, but the running game has stalled.
Carolina 21 *Tampa Bay 17 -- Rookie RB Carnell Williams started strong but an injury slowed him down. His inability to play at full strength will hurt here against the Panthers.
San Diego 24 *NY Jets 14 -- The Chargers have too much talent for New York. LaDainian Tomlinson might be the best offensive player in the league and he'll prove it against the Jets' defense.
Detroit 20 *Minnesota 17 -- The Lions switch QBs again -- Joey Harrington returns to replace Jeff Garcia. The Vikings had an impressive home win against Green Bay in Week 7, but Detroit is a bit stronger than the Pack.
NY Giants 28 *San Francisco 10 -- Eli Manning's quick development has helped the Giants evolve into an offensive force. The 49ers, meanwhile, have suffered with inexperienced rookie QB Alex Smith.
Seattle 21 *Arizona 14 -- It sure helps to have Shaun Alexander's ability to run for big yards and score touchdowns, especially when the opponent can't answer.
*New Orleans 14 Chicago 13 -- The Bears defense is one of the league's best -- but the team's offense is one of the worst. The much-maligned Saints have been inconsistent, but when QB Aaron Brooks is on, the team plays well.
Pittsburgh 28 *Green Bay 17 -- The Steelers have a strong running game, which should help QB Charlie Batch against the Packers, who continue to suffer from injuries to key players. Lambeau Field no longer guarantees a victory for the Pack.
Philadelphia 20 *Washington 17 -- The Eagles have been relying on a powerful passing attack and an aggressive defense. The Redskins, who have been somewhat of a surprise this season, will come back to Earth against Philly.
Week 9 - Monday, Nov. 7, 2005
Indianapolis 24 *New England 21 -- This should be a fun game to watch thanks largely to two of the league's top quarterbacks. Peyton Manning hasn't had to air it out because of the improved play of the Colts defense. The Patriots defense have been hit hard by injuries.
