NFL Picks Week 10

So we have reached double digits in this endeavor. Last week was another solid week for me. And it got off to a good start yesterday as the Steelers depantsed and demolished the Panthers. Not only did I have Big Ben in fantasy, I took the Steelers with the points. So 1-0 in both columns

Points: Steelers
Victory: Steelers

So we enter the thunderdome once again. If you are sitting comfortably, the I will begin.

Lions @ Bears (-5): This Bears defense is awesome and Mack is getting healthier. The Lions are a total wild card of a team. I might have gone for the upset if this was in Detroit, but in Chicago? No way.

Points: Bears
Victory: Bears

Cardinals @ Chiefs (-16.5): My goodness that spread is huge. I think I have to take the Cardinals just on principal. And I will. The Chiefs defense is a littler better but not great enough to protect that spread

Points: Cardinals
Victory: Chiefs

Patriots (-6.5) @ Titans: The Pats have been quietly going about their business and while the Titans defense is solid, I don't if their offense can score enough to keep it up. You know what I say about the Pats.

Points: Pats
Victory: Pats

Saints (-4.5) @ Bengals: Maybe the game of the day in terms of intriguing matchups. The Saints needed a missed XP to avoid OT with the Ravens on the road and now face the Bengals who can be up and down. Close game I think

Points: Bengals
Victory: Saints

Falcons (-4) @ Browns: This is an interesting line. Browns are trying to settle into their new coaching hires and the Falcons are just trying to survive period. Knowing the Browns, this game will be close but gutwrenching

Points: Browns
Victory: Falcons

Jaguars @ Colts (-3): A few weeks ago, this line would have been ridiculous. But the Jags have fallen into disrepair. After losing to the Jets, the Colts have settled down. Thought about the upset but no.

Points: Colts
Victory: Colts

Redskins @ Buccaneers: There are no odds for this game so PICK'EM! Redskins coming off an embarrassment against Atlanta. The Bucs can put up points no matter who is at QB. Give me the home team

Victory: Buccaneers

Bills @ Jets (-9): The fact that the Jets are favored by 9 shows you how bad this Bills team is thought to be. I can't take that spread in this divisional matchup, although the Jets defense has been solid. And McCown should be able to manage all right. The game to decide if Todd Bowles has a job on Monday.

Points: Bills
Victory: Jets

Chargers (-9.5) @ Raiders: The Chargers surprised me last week. They went into a tough road environment and lit up the Seahawks. Even though it's a divisional matchup, the Raiders are a garbage heap right now.

Points: Chargers
Victory: Chargers

Dolphins @ Packers (-7.5): Packers had 2 straight games slip away from them and I think they take out their anger on Miami, who were lucky to escape last week.

Points: Packers
Victory: Packers

Seahawks @ Rams (-8.5): The loss for the Rams is coming soon, just not this week. Was disappointed in Seattle last week and now they go to Los Angeles.

Points: Rams
Victory: Rams

Cowboys @ Eagles (-4.5): Cowboys on the road are a mess and there is dissention. Eagles take care of business at home.

Points: Eagles
Victory: Eagles

Giants @ Niners (-3):  Wait for it.......
UPSET PICK OF THE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!
Mullens had a fantastic opening game. But now there is tape on him. Eli knows the end is near and I think puts up one final solid performance coming off the bye. And Giants fans get annoyed because they slip in the draft order

Points: Giants
Victory: Giants
