Week Nine is in the books and the Pickle is back with his thoughts and observations on the past weekend's action in the NFL. The Eagles disappoint on Sunday night, Fast Willie is done in Pittsburgh, give me Chris Johnson, Steelers and the Colts are the teams to beat in the AFC, and more.

Here are the free NFL predictions for week 10 and five can't miss games for NFL fans.

Week Nine of the NFL season is upon us and that means it is time to start breaking down the fantasy match ups for this weekend. The marquees showdowns this week feature Dallas traveling to Philly for the Sunday night game and the Broncos host the Steelers on Monday night. The Texans also travel to Indianapolis looking to game respect around the league but it will be tough road to hoe after losing Pro Bowl tight end Owen Daniels to a knee injury this past weekend.

As we get to the midpoint of the NFL season the contenders start to separate themselves from the pretenders. Heading into week nine the Indianapolis Colts remain as the lone unbeaten team in the AFC with the Broncos holding tight with just one loss. The Bengals and Steelers sit atop the AFC North at 5-2 with the Bengals holding the head-to-head tie-breaker beating the Steelers a few weeks ago. The Patriots sit comfortably atop the AFC East and as long as Belichick and Brady are around they should never be taken lightly. So, the question remains who are the contenders and who are the pretenders in the AFC right now.

Free NFL Predictions from Week 9 of the 2009 NFL season, along with five can't miss games.

As we get to the midpoint of the NFL season the contenders start to separate themselves from the pretenders. Heading into this week's Monday night game the Saints remain as the lone unbeaten team in the NFC with the Vikings nipping at their heels with just one loss. The Eagles and Cowboys sit atop the NFC East at 5-2 with the Eagles holding the tie-breaker due to Dallas losing to the Giants earlier in the season. So, the question remains who are the contenders and who are the pretenders in the NFC right now.

One of the marquee college football games from Week 10 of the 2009 season will be between two teams who are ranked in the top ten in the country; the LSU Tigers and Alabama Crimson Tide.

Week Eight of the NFL season is upon us and it is time to start giving out the fantasy tricks and treats for Halloween weekend. This week's match ups feature the Eagles hosting the Giants for supremacy in the NFC East, Brett Favre makes his return to Lambeau Field as the Vikes take on the Packers, and Alex Smith officially takes over the reins for the Niners as they travel to Indy to battle Peyton and the Colts.

There have been a couple of new developments over the past day or so around the league. Another team makes a quarterback change while another sticks with what they have. Jeff Fisher is set to make a decision today on who his quarterback will be. Walter Jones is officially done for the year and possibly his career, Larry Johnson is officially suspended and more.

Is there about to be a new starting quarterback in Tennessee? The Niners will be taking the field with new signal caller under center this weekend. Find out who JaMarcus Russell is beginning to remind me of. Larry Johnson finally gets his wish. And just who do I think is the most explosive player in the league right now?

The Friday before week seven is upon us and the Pickle is here with some injury news and updates for this weekend's upcoming games. How much is Crabtree expected to play, are Bob Sanders and Troy Polamalu going to suit up this weekend, find out which Bears defensive stalwart may miss this week, how is Boldin doing, and more.

The month of October is coming to a close and there have been plenty of surprises so far. Here are the NFL Predictions for Week 7, along with five can't miss games for any NFL fan.

Ever since Eric Mangini took over in Cleveland the quarterback situation there has been curious, and tenuous at best. When he first got the job everyone expected Mangini to tab Brady Quinn as his starting quarterback heading into off season camps and training camp. He refused to do so, in fact, he refused to name a starting quarterback at all.

Is there any coach or player who is on a hotter roll than Denver Head Coach Josh McDaniels right now? At the age of 33 he is the youngest head man in the league and the Broncos are arguably the team to beat in the AFC right now. Denver closed out the 2008 season losing its last three games failing to make the playoffs for the third consecutive season under Mike Shanahan. This team was floundering in mediocrity.

Week seven of the NFL season is upon us and it is time to dish out the fantasy tips for this week's games. This week's match ups feature the Vikings traveling to Pittsburgh, Peyton and co. going to St. Louis, the Aaron Rodgers aerial show touching down in Cleveland, and more.

The second week of the inaugural UFL 2009 season will close out with a match-up between the New York Sentinels and the California Redwoods. See who will come out on top.
