Week 10 Picks!!!!

We have hit full stride into the month of November, and in the NFL it is time to start separating the contenders from the pretenders. The best quote I heard about this time of the year in the NFL is this: "In November, the next game is the toughest." Every game is so important at this time and nowhere is this more evident than in Denver. Once the darlings of the NFL about three weeks ago, Denver has lost two straight, and critics are starting to swarm at the idea of the Broncos falling apart. Although Denver has some issues in all three phases of the game, they still are a good team, and I think their demise is being greatly exaggerated. The Broncos need to get back on track, and it starts this week in D.C. Onto the Week 10 picks....

Last Week's Record: 3-9-1
Overall Record: 61-65-3

SAN FRANCISCO (-3) over Chicago: The Bears defense is a mess. I could see Cutler putting the Bears on his back for this game, but I'm going to go with the Niners at home on a short week.

NEW YORK JETS (-6) over Jacksonville: The Jets need to start their run for the playoffs now. They get the medicore Jags to get them going.

PITTSBURGH (-7) over Cincy: I am a believer in the Bengals, but this is the perfect spot for the Steelers. This game will be close, but the Steelers pull away at home.

Buffalo (+7) over TENNESSEE: I'm not buying stock in the Vince Young Era just yet. This is where the Bills are sneaky, and there is no way you can give the Titans a touchdown advantage over anyone.

MINNESOTA (-15) over Detroit: This is like Florida playing Coastal Carolina or Texas playing Louisiana Lafayette to start the season. A complete mismatch and a complete dismantling in the Metrodome.

New Orleans (-13) over ST. LOUIS: The Saints roll to 9-0 after a dominating performance in St. Louis. Can you believe that the Saints and Vikings both play the Lions and Rams respectively this week? What a scheduling disaster!

Atlanta (-1) over CAROLINA: I loved the Panthers early in the week, but a lot of people must have been putting money on the Panthers. I will take the Falcons, but this is going to be a tough battle.

MIAMI (-9) over Tampa Bay: The Bucs got their first win last week, and the Dolphins played another tough game and lost to the Patriots. I love the Fish this week. Easiest game to pick on the board.

Kansas City (+2) over OAKLAND: The Raiders suck badly, and the Chiefs are about to pass them for third in the AFC West.

ARIZONA (-7) over Seattle: This is a game that the Cards will usually lose, but I can't be confident in the Seahawks on the road. The Cards get it done this week at home.

SAN DIEGO (-2) over Philadelphia: Toughest game to pick of the week. Part of me is not buying into the Chargers resurgence, and part of me isn't ready to trust the Eagles on the road. Norv Turner vs. Andy Reid. Wow, what a matchup this will be. Anyway, I'm going with the Chargers at home because I'll take Philip Rivers over Donovan McNabb in a big spot.

GREEN BAY (+3) over Dallas: I LOVE THE PACKERS THIS WEEK! This is a perfect setup for the Cowboys to fall. The Packers are not dead yet, trust me. The Pack win it in Lambeau.

New England (+3 ) over INDY: The best rivalry in the NFL renews on Sunday Night. Manning vs. Brady is all you need to know getting ready for this game. I'll take the Pats on a late field goal to end the Colts undefeated run.

Baltimore (-10) over CLEVELAND: It doesn't matter if Brady Quinn, Derek Anderson, Bernie Kosar or Brian Sipe are starting for the Browns, their offense still blows, and it will not matchup well with the Ravens. You know it's bad when a team's fanbase is starting petitions to boycott games. This line can't be high enough. The Ravens roll on a Monday Night snoozefest.

WASHINGTON (+4) over Denver: It is gutcheck time for the Broncos. Their offense needs to start producing and it starts with the quarterback, Kyle Orton. This team needs a big win, but I just don't see it happening against the Redskins. The Skins aren't as bad as their 2-6 record indicates. This game scares the hell out of me. Also, the Broncos never play well on the road at early starts. The Skins shock Denver in D.C, and Broncos Country gets elevated to DEFCON 4.
Final Score: Washington-19 Denver-16.
