NFL Week 9 picks

November 5, 2020

 

As the trade deadline has now come and passed, the crew from Eastern Maine Sports is ready to make their picks for Week 9 in our weekly contest. Chris Lessner kept his first place lead for a second straight week by posing a 9-5 Week 8. Anthony DelMonaco also was in at 9-5, and sits three games behind Chris. Marc Calnan (8-6) is in third place, while Jeff Hoak (7-7), and Cassidy Lessner (9-5) are in fourth and fifth respectively. The big games in Week 9 sees a pair of possible NFC contenders meet in San Francisco in a rematch of the 2019 NFC Title game when the 49ers host the Green Bay Packers. A pair of division leaders meet in Buffalo when the Bills host the Seattle Seahawks, while a clash in the NFC South takes place Sunday night when Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints visit Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Here are the week 8 results, season standings, and then the Week 9 projections-

Chris (9-5) 78-40-1

Anthony (9-5) 75-43-1
