Onto better things and Week 11

Texans @ Ravens (-4.5):  I keep waiting for the Ravens to have a let down, but it doesn't happen. I don't think it will happen this week, but I think this game will be close

Points: Texans
Victory: Ravens

Cowboys (-7.5) @ Lions: Looks like Matthew Stafford will not play which leans this game in the Cowboys direction. The Cowboys have a tendency to play down (cough Jets cough), but after losing a heartbreaker to the Vikings, I think they go for broke.

Points: Cowboys
Victory: Cowboys

Saints (-5.5) @ Buccaneers: I would be shocked if this was nothing but a blowout or high scoring game. Saints should be angry after getting trapped by the Falcons. Give me New Orleans

Points: Saints
Victory: Saints

Falcons @ Panthers (-4.5): After a tough loss to Green Bay, I expect Carolina to be ready for Atlanta. I can see a let down from the Falcons

Points: Panthers
Victory: Panthers

Jaguars @ Colts (-3): It looks like Jacoby Brissett will play against Jacksonville coming off their bye. Colts were embarrassed by Miami and will look to bounce back. The Colts by 4-5 points seems fair

Points: Colts
Victory: Colts

Broncos @ Vikings (-10): The Vikings are on a roll and now get a Broncos team with a rookie QB at home. Its a big spread, but give me the Vikings

Points: Vikings
Victory: Vikings

Jets @ Redskins (-2.5): UPSET PICK OF THE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is an upset pick partially by necessity but Dwayne Haskins starting means that the Redskins would like to be balanced in order to not put it on his shoulders. Jets run defense is very good so Haskins will have to win it for them. He is not as good as Daniel Jones, so I think the Jets win a close game, partially by default.

Points: Jets
Victory: Jets

Bills (-6.5) @ Dolphins: Ryan Fitzpatrick has gone on his classic good streak and the Bills are teetering a bit. If the Bills had beaten the Browns (dammit) this may have been my upset pick. As it is, I think it's a close game.

Points: Dolphins
Victory: Bills

Cardinals @ Niners (-10): This spread is a little high for me. The Cardinals did well against the Niners defense the last time they played. And they have been competitive. Niners will win, but it will be close

Points: Cardinals
Victory: Niners

Patriots (-3.5) @ Eagles: Eagles are now on a bit of a roll themselves, but I just don't see them doing much against a stout NE defense, especially with a week to prepare. The hook is fascinating, but I can't take it

Points: Pats
Victory: Pats

Bengals @ Raiders (-11): Raiders are having a sneaky solid season and it will continue.

Points: Raiders
Victory: Raiders

Bears @ Rams (-6.5): Both McVay and Nagy are under fire for their poor offenses of late, I think Goff is the better QB so I think he gets it done, but this game will also be close

Points: Bears
Victory: Rams

Chiefs (-4) @ Chargers: Chargers have been the master of losing heartbreakers recently and I think this situation will continue. But the spread is too small to take those points.

Points: Chiefs
Victory: Chiefs
