It’s officially the second half of the season, which is honestly unbelievable. Once again we had an absolutely brutal Week 8 around the league with this unpredictable season giving us a firm kick in the gut. The best record for picks last week was 9-4.

I hope everyone enjoyed their peaceful Sunday last weekend, because we’re back to fretting over the Las Vegas Raiders with their Week 9 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. And of course, our Silver and Black Pride Pick’em competition continues as we are about to enter the second half of the regular season after this weekend.

With that in mind, the Week 9 slate opened with nine home underdogs, which should raise the antennas of any good bettor. The scales will even out at some point, so it's best to keep your head on a swivel.
