I hope everyone enjoyed their peaceful Sunday last weekend, because we’re back to fretting over the Las Vegas Raiders with their Week 9 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. And of course, our Silver and Black Pride Pick’em competition continues as we are about to enter the second half of the regular season after this weekend.

They'll get the chance to avenge their latest loss in a matchup this week with the 49ers, who continue to be one of the least healthy teams in the league with another member of the defensive line lost for the season in Mykel Williams.

The table below lists the five most popular survivor picks for Week 9 from Yahoo Fantasy, with the percentage of pick distribution for each of those teams as well as the point spread, from BetMGM, for each of their games as of Oct. 29.

Are Jordan Love, Bo Nix and C.J. Stroud destined to disappoint on Sunday? Check out all of Michael Florio's QB starts and sits for Week 9 of the NFL fantasy season.

The Panthers proved against the Packers that they can be a playoff team – and Rico Dowdle has three games with 100 or more rushing yards in the last five weeks. The Saints allow 129.4 rushing yards per game, too. Carolina is 3-1 S/U at home this season.

The first week after the time change. If I miss all of my picks this week, that's why. Turning the clock back and getting an extra hour of sleep sounds great in theory, but in reality, there is NO extra sleep for anyone in my house because I live with two kids under the age of five who don't believe in time changes.

As fantasy football managers are likely aware, Josh Allen, Courtland Sutton, Tyler Warren, and Kimani Vidal are all heading into the first double-digit week in the NFL.
