NFL Picks Week 9: Underdogs That Will Pull off Massive Upsets on Sunday

This has been yet another crazy NFL season and several upsets in Week 9 will add to the chaos.

The tired cliche of "anybody can beat anybody in the NFL" is as true as it is annoying, so expect at least a few favorites to go down on Sunday.

I'm predicting these three underdogs to win in Week 9.

Miami Dolphins

This is the week when Miami puts their "Suck for Luck" campaign on hold.

The 0-7 Dolphins have been so close to getting their first win of the season, losing by just three points in back-to-back games.

Two weeks ago, they were Tebowed by the Broncos. Last week against the Giants, they blew another second half lead, giving up the go-ahead touchdown with under six minutes left in the game.

But this Sunday, Miami will have their brief moment of glory.

Despite their awful record, the Dolphins do have some bright spots. They average 116.9 rushing yards per game, which is 12th in the NFL.

Their opponent this week, the Kansas City Chiefs, has one of the league's worst run defenses, giving up over 120 rushing yards per game.

With a steady dose of Reggie Bush and Daniel Thomas, Miami will pick up their first win of the season.

Denver Broncos

Tebow-mania will reach an all-time high in Week 9.

Coming off a horrible performance last week against Detroit, Tebow and the Broncos will rebound by taking advantage of the depleted Oakland Raiders.

Oakland's once promising season has been in a downward spiral since quarterback Jason Campbell broke his collarbone.

Now the Raiders have to choose between starting Kyle Boller or Carson Palmer, which is like choosing between drowning or getting set on fire.

To make matters worse of Oakland, star running back Darren McFadden will miss Sunday's game with a sprained foot.

Look for Denver to win in a very ugly game.

Baltimore Ravens

Sunday's marquee game is another Ravens-Steelers matchup.

Baltimore embarrassed Pittsburgh in Week 1, beating them down 35-7. The Ravens' vicious defense forced seven turnovers that game.

I'm not expecting another dominant Ravens win, but I think they'll get the job done.

Their defense is the best in the NFL and Ray Rice has had a ton of success against Pittsburgh in recent meetings.

Plus, I just can't stand the Steelers. Ravens will win by a touchdown.
