B-MAC's WEEK 9 NFL PICKS

New Jersey native MILES AUSTIN has developed into everything the DALLAS COWBOYS wanted T.O. to be -- an offensive force not a disruptive force. The 6-foot-3 Austin has 21 catches (five for TDs) in the last three games -- all W's for the Cowboys, who visit Philadelphia tonight with 1st place in the NFC EAST on the line in Week Nine!

B-MAC, the host of LATE HITS and 1st voice on SIRIUS NFL RADIO when it launched as the first-ever all-football talk radio channel on August 2, 2004, is the reigning 2008 SIRIUS HOSTS LEAGUE PICKS CHAMPION despite being sidelined due to illness during the '08 campaign. The '08 title is B-Mac's 2nd title in three years after winning the first SIRIUS PIGSKIN PICK 'EM in 2006.

WEEK 9: McGOVERN vs KIRWAN

B-Mac leads 5 weeks to 3

The only difference during our Saturday picks segment on SIRIUS NFL RADIO was the Baltimore-Cincinnati game. Once again, B-Mac is rolling with the Ravens and PK is backing the Bengals, just as they did back in WEEK 5 when PK won the week based on this game. Can it happen again and pull Pat back into the race for the 2009 power & pride title?

B-MAC's WEEK 8 NFL PICKS

VIKINGS QB BRETT FAVRE completed 24-31 passes for 271 yards and three TDs in Minnesota's 30-23 victory against the Packers on Monday, Oct. 5. The 40-year-old Favre returns to Lambeau Field today for the first time since retiring as a Packer after losing the 2007 NFC Championship to the NY Giants.

The Texans' defense could be bolstered by the season debut of CB-Jacques Reeves. ARZ: WR-Steve Breaston (Q-knee) told me this week he'll be playing in this game. Ken Whisenhunt told me this is the healthiest the team has been all season, and that the offense will get rookie RB-Chris "Beanie" Wells more involved now that he's getting a better grasp of the offense. Whiz also said he'd like to see the vertical passing attack get back on track.

OUR SATURDAY SELECTION SHOWDOWN: McGOVERN vs KIRWAN

THANKS FOR LISTENING TO PAT AND I ON SATURDAYS. WE REALLY ENJOY HOSTING THE PROGRAM, WHICH IS NEAR AND DEAR TO OUR HEARTS SINCE IT'S THE FIRST SHOW BOTH PAT AND I (NOT JUST TOGETHER) HOSTED ON SIRIUS NFL RADIO IN OUR INAUGURAL 2004 SEASON.

SINCE THEN, WE'VE HAD A LOT OF FUN GOING BACK AND FORTH AT EACH OTHER EVERY WEEK DURING OUR NOW INFAMOUS SATURDAY SELECTION SHOWDOWN.

WE DO IT DIFFERENTLY THAN OUR REGULAR WEEKLY PICKS, AS POSTED ON SIRIUS.COM/NFL AND HERE ON THE BLOG. IT'S HEAD-TO-HEAD, WINNER TAKES THE WEEK. THIS MEANS WE MAY TAKE A CHANCE ON A TEAM HERE AND THERE TO POSSIBLY BREAK A TIE OR MAKE A MOVE. TIEBREAKER, IF WE DISAGREE ON AN EVEN AMOUNT OF GAMES, IS ALWAYS HIGHEST-SCORING TEAM OF THE WEEK. WINNER OF THE IN-STUDIO COIN FLIP CHOOSES TO GO FIRST IN THE PICKS, POSSIBLY GAINING AN EDGE IN A PARTICULAR MATCHUP TO SEE WHERE THE FIRST HOST GOES, OR DEFER AND GET TO CHOOSE THE FIRST PICK IN HIGHEST-SCORING TEAM.

I MISSED SEASON DUE TO BEING IN THE HOSPITAL FROM FEBRUARY TO DECEMBER 2008...BUT HERE WE GO ON TO SEASON SIX OF SIRIUS NFL RADIO'S SATURDAY SELECTION SHOWDOWN:

McGOVERN LEADS KIRWAN 3 WEEKS TO 1

WE DIFFERED ON FOUR GAMES THIS WEEK: I TOOK THE REDSKINS TO BEAT THE PANTHERS, PATRICK LIKES CAROLINA. CHECK OUT MY FORTHCOMING WEEK 5 PREDICTIONS...HE MADE SUCH A GOOD CASE HE SWAYED ME, LOL.

BUT I FEEL GREAT ABOUT MY NEXT THREE PICKS BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL HOME TEAMS. I TOOK BUFFALO, BALTIMORE AND SAN FRANCISCO, WHILE PATRICK WENT THE OTHER WAY WITH CLEVELAND, CINCINNATI AND ATLANTA.

TIEBREAKER: PK PICKED FIRST AND SELECTED THE ARIZONA CARDINALS. I PICKED THE MINNESOTA VIKINGS.

TUNE IN NEXT WEEK TO SIRIUS/XM CHANNEL 124 SIRIUS NFL RADIO 4-7PM EST FOR OUR NEXT SHOW TOGETHER.

MEANWHILE, PAT WILL BE BACK MONDAY ON MOVIN' THE CHAINS 3-7PM EST, AND I'LL BE BACK MONDAY AFTER JETS-DOLPHINS WITH POST-GAME LATE HITS TIL 3AM EST.

NFL PICKS: WEEK 3

Adrian Peterson is the NFL's #1 rusher after two weeks of play, but he runs into the NFL's 3rd-best run defense on Sunday at the Metrodome. The game is the lone matchup of unbeatens this week and features the NFC's top two rushers, including SF's Frank Gore, who's coming off a 207-yard game vs. Seattle last week. HEY PACKER FANS: It's also Brett Favre's FIRST game in Minnesota as a Viking. Watch for Favre to shoulder more of the load in this game and put up his biggest passing numbers of the year so far.
