The NFL’s Week 9 schedule features several marquee match-ups, highlighted by Dallas hosting Arizona (6-1) and Denver (6-1) visiting New England (6-2). This week marks the first time two games featuring teams with at least six wins each has occurred this early in a season since 1986 (Week 9).

And without further ado, here are our picks for Week 9, 2014.
