Chase for Perfection/Imperfection: Week 9 (The Final Three)

D47588cc2ff76df9c02ca2a0470ee7c4-getty-88972048al003_san_francisco_medium

Well, the imperfect/perfect teams in the NFL are dropping like flies. Last week the Broncos lost, the Titans won and, only because they were playing the Lions, the Rams won. Now there are only three teams remaining that are gunning for a win-less or loss-less mark. Can any of those three make it to Week 10?

Carolina (3-4) @ New Orleans (8-0):

The Panthers are the most schizophrenic team in the NFL. At first they were awful, then they won two straight, lost to the lowly Bills and then destroyed the defending NFC champs. Now comes their biggest test -- against a Saints offense that has looked downright unstoppable thus far. New Orleans is on pace to break the single-season scoring record, and I know they dropped 34 last week, but I doubt that the Panthers have enough offense to keep pace with them. Look for the Saints to move to 8-0.

Green Bay (4-3) @ Tampa Bay (0-7):

It's the battle of the bays, and it doesn't look good for the Bucs. Not only are they going against a Green Bay team anxious for a win after the Favre game, but they haven't played a football game in the United States in three weeks -- meaning they'll be rusty on top of it. Sadly for Tampa Bay, this looks to be their easiest remaining home game of the year (the rest are against New Orleans, the Jets and Atlanta). It's hard to like the Bucs to ever win a game, and I wouldn't bet on them to start now.

Houston (5-3) @ Indianapolis (7-0):

The Texans are looking better than they have in their existence, and are on pace for their first winning season ever. The Colts are obviously favored to win, but look for the Texans to give them a hell of a fight. Not only do quality AFC South teams tend to bother the Colts, Indianapolis will suit up without Bob Sanders, who suffered a season-ending injury last year. This should be close.

Could be worse, they could be out another player they’re used to having on the field.
