I was going to start this week delivering rewards mid-season, but then Hue Jackson was fired. I therefore thought it would be a lot more fun to talk about that.
First, let me say that the Browns are the most dysfunctional football team and that it is not even close. If I had intended to dismiss Hue Jackson, I would have done it after his score of 1 to 15 in 2016 or after his score of 0 to 16 in 2017. Instead, the Browns have literally waited until he won several games in a season before sending him back. Imagine being fired the year you doubled the production of your previous years, which is a bit the same as Jackson did with two wins in 2018 versus a combined win in 2016 and 2017.
That being said, Jackson certainly deserved to be fired. I mean, the guy did not win a SINGLE ROAD GAME all his career with the Browns. I do not even know how it is possible, it would be like spending a whole year without using the letter "E."
Jackson was so bad as a head coach that I am fully convinced that one of the following three people could have done a better job for the Browns:
1. The possally of the rally
2. Someone who has never played football
3. Bernie's Weekend at Bernie's
Is there a language barrier with the possum? Perhaps.
Should you explain several things to the person who has never played football? Probably.
Should Bernie be supported by two assistant coaches while he stands on the sideline every Sunday? Almost certainly, but the win would be that he would probably be able to win more than the three games won by Hue Jackson during his stay in Cleveland.
Well, that's enough for Hue Jackson, let's get to the picks.
In fact, before reaching the selections, here's your weekly reminder to check all the selections of all NFL editors on CBSSports.com.

Dave's entire life is basically about giving advice to Fantasy Football and when he's not giving advice, he's thinking about giving advice. In fact, Dave gives so much advice that I really do not know where he finds the time to make his choices in the NFL.
Anyway, if you want to use Dave's choices this week, I suggest follow him on Twitter. All right, let's go to the 9th week selections and see if I can beat Dave, which I do not even think is possible, since there are only 13 games this week.
NFL 9th Week Choice
Pittsburgh (4-2-1) to Baltimore (4-4)
1 pm ET (CBS)
I do not know what is the ultimate plan for The Vein Bell this year, but whatever it is, it does not work. I mean, any plan that costs you $ 6.8 million in salary is definitely not a good plan, and that is all the money that Bell has already lost by staying stuck during last eight weeks. In fact, Bell has lost more money than any other NFL player will bring back this season.
I'm just mentioning Bell because he literally only has two extra weeks where he's allowed to come back. If Bell does not sign his franchise offer before November 13th, he will not be able to play this year. Of course, if I were the Steelers, I would really hope that Bell do not play this year and that's because James Conner gives them twice the production at half the cost. Conner's base salary this year is $ 578,000 for the entire season, slightly less than the $ 855,000 / WEEK Bell will earn once he signs his franchise sticker.
Joe Flacco is perhaps the only player in a situation as strange as Bell. That's because I think Ravens fans are actively encouraging the team to lose so that Flacco gets the highest possible score for Lamar Jackson. In fact, Ravens fans even consult Twitter and politely ask the team to do a test bench at Flacco …
There are also a few other fans who are somehow demanding that Flacco be on the bench.
I'm not sure Lamar Jackson is the solution in Baltimore, but I'm not sure either Joe Flacco is. One thing I'm sure of is that the Steelers are going to take revenge for their 26-14 loss to the Ravens in the fourth week.
The choice: Steelers 26-23 on the Ravens
L.A. Chargers (5-2) in Seattle (4-3)
16:05 ET (CBS)
In theory, this should be the easiest game to choose in the 9th week, mainly because Russell Wilson has never lost at home against an AFC team. Since his rookie year in 2012, Wilson has imposed himself 12-0 against the AFC teams in Seattle, which means that there will only be four more games remaining for the ENTIRE conference. At first, I did not believe in this statistic, but it is quite true because I consulted it on the Internet and nothing is ever wrong on the Internet.
The thing about the Seahawks, is that no one was really sure they could be good this season. In a nutshell: they cut all the players you've heard about except for Russell Wilson and exchanged for a bettor in the fifth round of the NFL draft, which I'm sure , was the first time traded to catch a bettor in the fifth round. In one way or another, these changes have all paid off as the Seahawks have won four of their last five games. The most amazing part of Seattle's transformation is that Wilson is no longer forced to run because the team's offensive line is really good this year. In fact, Wilson had so much time to start this season that he had to find a hobby.
I'm 99% sure he's kidding, but if you see Wilson eating a steak on the pitch this week, that's why. In addition to the offensive line that plays 55 times better than last season, the Seahawks also have something that looks like a race attack this year, which was also unexpected. They also like to fight after touchdowns, which would scare me a little if I were in the opposing team.
As I said before, in theory, I should be everywhere on the Seahawks. However, I am horrible with theories: I still do not understand quantum theory, I fell asleep once I tried to understand game theory and the only theory I understand a little bit is the theory of chaos, who says the Chargers are going to win, or maybe it's not, I'm not sure, but I choose them anyway.
That's right, I put my perfect record of the Seahawks (7-0) on the line by fighting in Seattle, where Russell Wilson has never lost to an AFC team. It sounds like a horrible idea, but again, moving the Chargers to Los Angeles has worked well for everyone. Wait, no. Shit. I may need to rethink that.
The choice: Chargers 33-30 on the Seahawks
L.A. Rams (8-0) in New Orleans (6-1)
4:25 ET (Fox)
If I made that choice based on which quarter would wear the best costume for Halloween this year, I would definitely choose the Rams to win and that's because Jared Goff will run under the name B-Rad in "Malibu & # 39" Most Wanted ".
If you have never seen "Malibu's Most Wanted", you should probably click here and release it now to fully appreciate the accuracy of Goff's costume. Not to mention the fact that there is a film based on Malibu on a white suburban teenager who tries to imitate the urban street culture that you should absolutely see before you die, that is Malibu is the most sought after. Nobody plays a budding white rapper better than Jamie Kennedy.
Regarding this game, the Saints have won several times this season without getting much help from Drew Brees, which is a bit odd, because Brees had led the Saints to victory for so long that I forgot that they could win otherwise. During their win over Minnesota in the eighth week, Brees threw for just 120 yards. He also launched his first interception of the season, but the Saints still won double digits. The win was particularly impressive as she played against a team that was supposed to be one of the best in the NFC.
The Rams are in the middle of their most difficult part of the season (Packers, Saints, Seahawks, Chiefs) and there is no chance they will win all four games. The trip to New Orleans is their only real road game. That's why I think that's what they'll lose.
As a bonus, we finally found who is the best NFL coach, Sean, and I decided to go with Payton.
The choice: Saints 37-34 on the Rams
Green Bay (3-3-1) in New England (6-2)
20:20 ET (NBC)
Do you know who won the last time Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady competed at Gillette Stadium? Nobody, because it never happened. Although Rodgers has been in the NFL since 2005, he never started a game in New England. For 10 years, I wrote Roger Goodell a letter every year asking him if the Packers and Patriots could play more often in the regular season, but he never wrote to me in return. restrictive order in place for all these letters. It is also probably safe to say that the Packers and Patriots will be there once every four years.
Because of the way in which the NFL schedule is established, these two teams play at Gillette Stadium only every eight years and the last time this happened in 2010, Rodgers missed the match at because of a concussion.
I know it's a great game because Michael Jordan did a promotion, which was a big problem, because Jordan does not usually talk about anything that has nothing to do with basketball, shoes or cigars.
I do not know who's the best of all time, but I will say that Brady definitely has an advantage in the coaching department. There may be some tension between Brady and Belichick, but at least they have a record of 6-2 and five Super Bowls to show for that. As for the Packers, I'm 90% sure that Rodgers became completely sick of Mike McCarthy and would happily give up his only Super Bowl ring if that meant McCarthy was no longer the Green Bay coach. Every time I see Rodgers on the Packers sideline, he looks totally disdainful. It's the sort of "how can I get out of this relationship" that Britney Spears basically gave Kevin Federline throughout their three-year marriage.
There is no way for McCarthy to coach Belichick in this game, but Rodgers can face one of the worst anti-pass defenses in the NFL, meaning he could hit five touchdowns and I guess that is the exact number. He will have to make up for the difference in coach between Belichick and McCarthy.
The choice: The Packers 38-34 on the Patriots
NFL 9th Week Choice: Everything Else
Raiders 34-31 on 49ers
Bear 20-16 on the bills
Heads 31-20 against Browns
Dolphins 19-16 on Jets
The Vikings 27-24 on Lions
Falcons 23-20 on Redskins
Panthers 30-23 on buccaneers
Broncos 20-17 against the Texans
Cowboys 22-19 against the Titans
BYES: Bengals, Colts, Giants, Eagles, Cardinals, Jaguars
Last week
Best choice: Last week, I predicts that the Redskins beat the Giants by seven, then the Redskins came out and beat the Giants by seven. Now, did I know that Eli Manning was going to play so badly that all fans of the Giants on the Internet would be calling for that? He's put on a bench after the match? Of course I did it. That's basically the formula of every Giants game this season: Eli threw for 300 yards, he looks horrible to do it, then everyone in New York has called for his benching.
Although I'm not usually a fan of letting people on Twitter decide when it's time to place a quarterback, I think it may be the case where it makes sense that people on Twitter decide on their own. it is time or not to validate the starting quarter. Now, we must all convince Pat Shurmur to let Twitter make the decision of the Giants quarterback.
Worst choice: Last week, I chose the Jaguars to beat the Eagles, and I'll be honest: if I had known that the Jags were going to try to trigger an international incident less than 36 hours before the kickoff, I would not probably not chosen Jacksonville. to win.
In fact, I was 100% convinced that the Jags were going to beat the Eagles until Saturday night when I realized that they had decided to make a team trip in a London bar, where they accumulated $ 64,000 US as part of a busy eight-hour day. Bender that has ended with four players stopped. I mean, I'm quite supportive of bonding activities with players, but I think you should probably stop and get stopped together on foreign soil. I've seen enough movies from Austin Powers to know that the London police are not kidding.
Plus, having thought about the trip to the Jags Bar over the past 48 hours, I'm still not sure to be more impressed by the fact that they spent $ 64,000 or the fact that They drank $ 64,000 worth of alcohol. . Last weekend, I attended a wedding in Florida that was serving alcohol for about 200 people and I'm pretty sure this tab did not reach $ 64,000. I do not see how 10 players from Jags managed to get a $ 64,000 tab. If the Jags had put so much effort into the Eagles game that they could not put that tab back, I'm pretty sure they would have beaten Philly by at least 40 points.
The good news is that there seems to be a lesson in this story for all of us and this lesson is that you should never go out with a $ 64,000 tab in a foreign country, even if you thought this tab was supposed & # 39; re.
Finally, if you have ever wondered which teams I am really able to choose, it is at this time of year that I start sharing this inside information with you. In eight weeks, I'm always perfect to choose two teams: Rams (8-0) and Seahawks (7-0). I'm also 6-1 or 7-1 by choosing 49ers, Chargers, Patriots, Raiders, Bears and Bills. On a related note, you should basically simply ignore my Eagles and Panthers choices. I'm just 2-6 and 2-5 choose these two teams.
Record of choice
Directly at the 8th week: 11-3
Global SU: 79-40-2
Against the spread of week 8: 9-5
TTY in general: 55-62-4
Exact score forecast: 2
You can find John Breech on Facebook or Twitter and he's not doing any of these things, he's probably looking at Malibu's Most Wanted with his cat.
