NFL Week 10

NFL Week 10 is here!

Thoughts from Week 9

1. If reports of the Sheldon Richardson (Jets) to Dallas trade were true, and the only thing hinging on it was a first round pick, good on Dallas for holding out. His off the field problems coupled with his perceived laziness on the field and impending free agency, Dallas was smart to walk away.
2. Atlanta is in full control of the NFC South.
3. Cleveland, thank you. You are keeping the dream alive. Up with hope, down with your season.
4. Dallas is the surprise of the season. Don't even suggest another team. I, as a fan, am even surprised. I thought 6-10 season for sure.
5. I am really surprised at the Steelers and their .500 season.
6. Daaaaaa Raiders. They look amazing guys.
7. If I were in the NFC North, I would be worried about the Lions.Vikings were the sexy pick early on, but it is indeed the Lions that look mighty.
8. Philadelphia, i hate you, but you should've beat the Giants. No reason for losing that game. 
9. San Diego, you have the offense, but your lackluster record and inability to fully close out games will be your end.
10. Kansas City is quietly one of the best teams NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT.

Thursday November 10

(NFL) Brown (0-9) at Ravens (4-4) - If you haven't been paying attention, you know I am currently rooting AGAINST the Browns. I must say, it is nothing personal against Cleveland, the Browns, NFL, just I believe if you start something, finish it. In this case, i am rooting for them to continue to lose and go 0-16. Ravens, don't ruin this for me. Ravens 21, Browns 9

Sunday November 13th

(FOX) Packers (4-4) at Titans (4-5)- The Packers are in the area of dangerously letting their season slip away. This is against a Titans team that has nothing to lose. No expectations to be good, no expectations to win, just to improve. If the Packers don't stop the run (the Titans have a hell of a run game), and if they don't score early, the Packers will lose. Make the Titans play from behind. I think the Packers jump to a lead, and since their defense is not great, it will be a fantasy football dream game. Packers 42, Titans 35

(FOX) Vikings (5-3) at Washington (4-3-1) - Two teams that are stuck in the "are we good v are we bad" limbo. Sure, both have winning records, but look at them. Nothing to say HEY WE ARE ELITE. Instead, both have questions. The Vikings defense, which once looks mighty, is not good. Washington's offense and defense is suspect. Should be a low scoring game. Washington 21, Vikings 17

(FOX) Bears (2-6) at Buccaneers (3-5)  - I used to call this the "Lovie Bowl" (Lovie Smith coached both the Bears and Bucs, duh) but neither team is really good. QB play for the Bears is erratic, the Bucs are young, but can score a lot of points. I think they pull one out from the Bears. Bucs 27, Bears 20

(CBS) Chiefs (6-2) at Panthers (3-5) - Panthers seem to play better at home, they score a lot of points. But look at the Chiefs defense, they are pretty good. They can contain Cam and force him to beat them through the air. Problem with that, their receivers are not that good. This is why Cam takes a lot of hits. Chiefs should contain him. Chiefs 24, Panthers 14

BIRD FIGHT

(FOX) Falcons (6-3) at Eagles (4-4) - I am excited for this game. I would like to see how the Falcons offense matches up with the Eagles defense. I suspect the Falcons defense will throw the kitchen sink at the Wentz. Julio Jones, if you have him. He will have a big day. Falcons 34, Eagles 20

(FOX) Rams (3-5) at Jets (3-6) - Battle of the Who cares. Rams, heading for another top 10 pick. Jets will join them. Neither team has it figured out yet. The clock is ticking, but neither will gain ground in their division or challenge for a wildcard. Rams 17, Jets 10

(CBS) Broncos (6-3) at Saints (4-4) - The Saints seem to have figured out this whole offensive thing, but they are still going against a Broncos Defense that is still among one of the best. Won't be a high scoring game, sorry, Saints fans. Saints 20, Broncos 13

(CBS) Texans (5-3) at Jaguars (2-6) - The Texans are mediocre at best. It bodes well from them in a crap division that they reside in. No one is going to challenge them for the division. The Jaguars, well I thought they would be better. They aren't. Texans should cook them. Texans 31, Jaguars 10

(CBS) Dolphins (4-4) at Chargers (4-5) - The Chargers play good at home, scoring a lot of points. Problem is, the defense allows nearly as many points. So it's kind of a bad thing. Dolphins aren't all that great. Mediocre .500 team. Chargers should score enough points to become a .500 team. Chargers 34, Dolphins 20

(FOX) Cowboys (7-1) at Steelers (4-4) - Steelers lost to a Ravens team that fluctuates worse than LeBron's hairline. Cowboys, hottest team in the league. Seven straight games. I don't know, I am skeptical this week. Seems like a trap game. I think the Steelers pull out a close game. The Magic of Dak can't go on forever. Wait, that sounds like a spell in World of Warcraft. Magic of Dak -3 power. I never played Warcraft, but I feel that fits and I'm staying by that. Steelers 20, Cowboys 17

(FOX) 49ers (1-7) at Cardinals (3-4-1) - Nothing like a lowly division opponent to help you right the ship. The Cardinals need this, or else their season is over. Cardinals 27, 49ers 13

(NBC) Seahawks (5-2-1) at Patriots (7-1) - Super Bowl Rematch, the last time they played Brady was hoisting another trophy. Seahawks, haven't been the same. Sure they win games, but not as dominant as they were leading up to that Super Bowl Game. Patriots are on a roll, and Brady has been superb since he returned. I think another close game is in hand. Patriots 31, Seahawks 28

Monday November 14th

(ESPN) Bengals (3-4-1) at Giants (5-3) - I thought the Bengals would build on last season, and be better. They are not. The Giants, for all it's worth, is not that good either, despite the 5-3 record. They have not put away opponents like they should. Invested a lot of money on defense, and it's their weakest part of the team. Bengals can score, should be a nice Monday night fight. Bengals 34, Giants 31

Happy Week 10!
