With the NFL season heading into Week 9, we are officially halfway through the year, which makes right now the perfect time to hand out some midseason awards. Actually, I'm only handing out one award, and it's going to me, and I don't even want it: It's the award for worst picker from Week 8. I went 8-6 last week, which ended up being the worst record out of our experts here at CBS Sports in Week 8.
I clearly spent way too much time trying to find a Halloween costume and not enough time researching my picks. Next year for Halloween, I'm going to go as someone who's good at picks, so I guess I'll be dressing up as Jamey Eisenberg. Eisnenberg, who is our long-time NFL fantasy analyst here, might want to just make NFL picks full time because he went 12-2 last week.
Also, he's 69-49-3 against the spread this year. I might have to copy his picks this week. So will I actually copy Jamey's picks?
Probably not, but let's get to the picks and find out for sure. Actually, before we get to the Week 9 picks, here's a quick reminder that you can check out the weekly picks from every CBSSports.com NFL expert by clicking here. Also, as you probably know by now -- because I point it out every week -- I'm in charge of the NFL newsletter here at CBSSports.com.

Speaking of things we love, let's get to the picks. If you had asked me at 10 a.m. ET on Nov. 1 who was going to win this game, I probably would have picked the Ravens, but a few things have happened since then: Those two injuries mean the Ravens will likely go into this game with an undrafted rookie (Joe Fagnano) as their starting quarterback, but that's not even a guarantee because he's dealing with an ankle injury.
