Week 10 Pick'em

Season Record: 90-40

Oakland @ San Diego

The Chargers went toe-to-toe with the Packers last week despite two pick-6’s by Phil Rivers. It’s way too soon to judge Carson Palmer as he is still getting familiar with things. Darren McFadden is out again.

Pick: Chargers

New Orleans @ Atlanta
Matt Ryan typically plays well at home and the Falcons have looked like their former selves in recent weeks. Atlanta has very athletic linebackers which is a great matchup against Jimmy Graham and Darren Sproles.

Pick: Falcons

Pittsburgh @ Cincinnati
If Andy Dalton beats the Steelers I’m going to pass out.

Pick: Steelers

St. Louis @ Cleveland
The Rams beat the Saints one week and then lose to the Cardinals the next. The Browns are just as erratic and have no running game. I still think the Rams are underachieving and will finish the season around .500.

Pick: Rams

Buffalo @ Dallas
After a hot start, the Bills need to stop the bleeding as they may drop to 3rd in the division with a loss this week. It’s a toss up to me, so I’ll take the home team.

Pick: Cowboys

Jacksonville @ Indianapolis
No pressure, a home game, a rookie quarterback, the best pass-rushers in the game – if they are going to win a game, this has to be it.

Pick: Colts

Denver @ Kansas City
Can anyone figure these two teams out? The Broncos adapted their offense much more to Tebow’s skill-set last week and it paid off. The Chiefs defense has played well despite missing Eric Berry.

Pick: Chiefs

Washington @ Miami
Roy Helu played well in his first real game as the lead ball carrier. The Dolphins are coming off their first win and are at home. Winning can become infectious.

Pick: Dolphins

Arizona @ Philadelphia
If the Eagles lose this game they don’t make the playoffs.

Pick: Eagles

Houston @ Tampa Bay
The Texans running game has been exceptional, which should come as no surprise as Gary Kubiak was an outstanding offensive line coach in Denver. I think this is the year the Texans make some noise in the playoffs. Tampa Bay just seems to be having an off year.

Pick: Texans

Tennessee @ Carolina
The Titans offence has struggled since losing Kenny Britt. Chris Johnson’s poor play is now a reality and not just a random event. The Titans have been kept in games by their defense but Cam Newton’s unique skill set will push their limits.

Pick: Panthers

Baltimore @ Seattle
Last time the Ravens beat the Steelers they laid an egg the following week. If you’re a riverboat gambler take the Seahawks, as it’s an east coast team, coming off a big win, travelling to the loudest stadium in football. For me, all that is negated by Tarvaris Jackson against the Ravens D.

Pick: Ravens

Detroit @ Chicago
The Bears showed everyone that they are for real. A big divisional game for both these teams will go a long way in deciding playoff seeding. The Lions come off a bye week but lack a real threat in the run game.

Pick: Bears

New York Giants @ San Francisco
This should be a great football game. The 49ers have taken control of the NFC West by playing great defense and running the ball. Eli Manning has been exceptional this season and the Giants have only gotten better with guys returning from injury. In what should be a coin flip, I’ll take the home team in a cross country battle.

Pick: 49ers

New England @ New York Jets
The Jets defense is playing very well and teams have figured out that if you press cover the Patriots, you will have success. The Patriots defense has struggled against the pass. When was the last time the Pats lost three in a row?

Pick: Patriots

Minnesota @ Green Bay
Just another Monday night party at Lambeau field.

Pick: Packers
