Week 9 preview: An NFC North heavyweight battle, an unlikely top-tier defense in Los Angeles, and a strength-on-strength matchup in Baltimore

Some Games of the Week sneak up on us. Others we can predict before
the season even starts. Lions-Packers is one of the latter. We'll

highlight the matchup between the Ravens offense and Broncos
defense, and get into so much more about Week 9 on this episode of
