Week 9 Picks By Jordan Raanan, XFINITY Sports

It's getting close to that make or break point in the NFL season. Every team will at least be at the midway point after this week. Time for a turnaround is running out.

That's what makes it now or never for more than a few teams and individuals. For the most part, the time is now, not never.

Here are the Week 9 bold predictions:

Steelers Upset t... Something tells me the G-Men are due for a dud. The Steelers are the beneficiary. (AP Photo/Tom Uhlman)

Eagles Offense E... Seriously, if it doesn't happen here, it's not going to happen. The Eagles have too much offensive talent (LeSean McCoy, Michael Vick, DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin and Brent Celek) to stumble against this Saints defense. (AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar)

Mario Williams G... Even fresh off wrist surgery, something tells me former Texan Mario Williams will have a little extra motivation in his return to Houston. The Bills defensive end sacks ex-teammate Matt Schaub twice. At least. (AP Photo/Paul Connors, File)

Colts Improve to... This may not be that bold a prediction right now. But at the beginning of the season tell me you thought this was possible? I certainly didn't. The winner of this matchup has a very good shot at the playoffs. (AP Photo/Mark Humphrey)

Peyton Manning's... Manning won't throw for at least 300 yards and three touchdowns for the first time in five games. He still improves to 8-0 in his career against the Bengals. (AP Photo/Denis Poroy)

Calvin Johnson S... Megatron has one touchdown reception this season for the Lions. That will change on Sunday in Jacksonville. Johnson can't be held down much longer, especially with Matthew Stafford back in form. (AP Photo/Rick Osentoski)

Ravens Allow Sev... A week off cures Baltimore's defensive woes … for now. It helps to be playing the Browns, whose offense isn't exactly described as explosive very often. (AP Photo/Patric Schneider)

Brandon Marshall... Marshall's already a force. Now he faces a pass defense that has allowed the second-most touchdown passes (17) this season. (AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast)

Cardinals Top 20... Arizona hasn't topped 20 points since Week 4. They do it this week in Green Bay. It's still not enough though. (AP Photo/Jim Mone)

Cam Newton Outpl... This has nothing to do with Robert Griffin III. He will play well against the Panthers. It's just that Cam gets to go against the league's worst pass defense. (AP Photo/Chuck Burton)

Seahawks Don't A... Seattle desperately needs a win and is coming off a poor defensive performance in Detroit. Minnesota quarterback Christian Ponder has never walked into an atmosphere quite like CenturyLink Field. It's not going to be pretty. (AP Photo/Rick Osentoski)

Falcons Beat Dal... Dallas will find out just how hard it is to beat the Falcons in the dome in a primetime game. If Peyton Manning had trouble, what do you think will happen with Tony Romo? (AP Photo/Mel Evans)
