Steelers struggles at home continue in NFL Week 9 Picks and Predictions

Miami Dolphins (6-2) vs Kansas City Chiefs (6-2), Sunday at 9:30 AM EST

Prediction: Dolphins 27, Chiefs 24

Time to go to Germany as the Dolphins and Chiefs will play each other in a playoff like game. This will have direct effects on the AFC playoff seeding when the season finally wraps up. Miami has not been able to beat good teams this season but expect that to change here. Kansas City is good, and it is always hard to imagine them slumping at any point of the season.

Minnesota Vikings (4-4) vs Atlanta Falcons (4-4), Sunday at 1 P.M. EST

Prediction: Falcons 21, Vikings 16

Battle of the backup quarterbacks here as Kirk Cousins is out for the rest of the season due to injury and Desmond Ridder is benched. Atlanta still has dynamic running backs and that should help Taylor Heinicke get settled back into a starting role. Minnesota has some good pieces, but their injuries seem too much to overcome.

Seattle Seahawks (5-2) vs Baltimore Ravens (6-2), Sunday at 1 P.M. EST

Prediction: Seahawks 31, Ravens 26

Seattle is coming off a game winning performance against the Cleveland Browns at home in a tough fight. They will now fly across the country to take on the Ravens in a tough environment. Expect this one to be close and a battle to the very end. The Seahawks have been in every game this season and have caused a lot of problems for quality opponents this year.

Arizona Cardinals (1-7) vs Cleveland Browns (4-3), Sunday at 1 P.M. EST

Prediction: Browns 15, Cardinals 9

The Browns are in a weird spot at quarterback, but it's probable that they will still struggle on offense no matter if Deshaun Watson or P.J. Walker is slinging the rock. Arizona has moved on from Josh Dobbs and it seems like they will be without Kyler Murray again. This should be a low scoring affair in Cleveland, but the Browns get the nod here at home.
