Ten & Six With Mike Otto - Week 9 (Thursday Bonus!)

I might drink a little more than I should tonight...

Well hello again, football fans!  It's Thursday and that means it's time for Ten & Six's Week 9 kickoff!

The Vikings may still be licking their wounds after the Packers rolled through town last week, but the league marches on!  Well, the league as represented by the Cincinnati Bengals & Miami Dolphins.  Mike will be back later this week to discuss the fortunes of The Purple, but that's for Saturday.

Mikey, who takes the W tonight?

Cincinnati (6-2) at Miami (3-4)

The Bengals brought order back to the universe last week when they put 40+ on the Jets in a laughable route.

Speaking of laughable, it's the Miami Dolphins! Their 3-0 start is long forgotten in the wake of 4 straight losses. The Dolphins can't seem to catch a break or any consistency. I watched a little of that Dolphins/Patriots game on Sunday, and one thing stuck out to me: Ryan Tannehill is not good. On one particular playhe totally hangs his open WR out to dry over the middle of the field with a terrible pass, the Dolphins WR subsequently gets hit, lands awkwardly, annnnnd... is out for the year with a torn patella tendon. I feel for that dude, that's one of the hardest injuries to come back from in professional sports, and it was all avoidable if Tannehill can throw a football. Yes, it appears as though yet another Dolphins season is headed down the tubes.

I've adopted the Bengals as my 3rd favorite team behind the Vikings of course, and the Colts. Something about miserable Ohio teams make me want them to succeed. Plus, I mean come on, AJ Green and the NFL's only true Ginger starting quarterback? Sign me up. 

Final Score

Cincinnati Bengals: 23
Miami Dolphins: 17

There you have it folks!  For at least one week in November the people of Cincinnati can claim superiority over people in Miami.

As we memtioned, be sure to stop by on Saturday for Mike's full Ten & Six: Week 9 post.  He'll delve into just what went wrong last week, what to watch for this week, and make the rest of his league picks!
