Week 10 Predictions

Last Week: 13-1
Season: 85-47

Indianapolis Colts @ Jacksonville Jaguars: Did you know the Jaguars have been outscored 126-34 at home this year?
IND: 27
JAC: 13

San Diego Chargers @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers: This one could go either way so my formula for success is this: If Ryan Mathews breaks 100 yards, the Chargers win. If he doesn't they lose by 3. (The Buccaneers are the top run defense in football through 9 weeks).
SD: 23
TB: 26

Tennessee Titans @ Miami Dolphins: You don't think the Titans might have something to play for today? Coming off their worst loss of the Mike Munchak era, I expect these underachievers to realize that Bud Adams wasn't kidding and if they don't put their act together, changes will be made this offseason. Keep in mind, everyone might be on the Dolphins, but their record is only one game better. This shouldn't really be considered an upset pick but the media has made it into one.
TEN: 23
MIA: 20

Buffalo Bills @ New England Patriots: Every time these two play, the Bills go up by a touchdown or two early, and get everyone''s hopes up that they might win. But then around the 3rd quarter, New England starts chipping away, Buffalo doesn't even notice, and before you know it, that 21-7 lead has become a 42-28 loss.
BUF: 28
NE: 42

Oakland Raiders @ Baltimore Ravens: If this were in Oakland, I'd be taking the Raiders.
OAK: 20
BAL: 24

Denver Broncos @ Carolina Panthers: This is a battle of two quarterbacks on opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of maturity, poise, intelligence-you name it.
DEN: 34
CAR: 17

New York Giants @ Cincinnati Bengals: I could really see this going either way but I have a weird feeling about these Giants. New York is still a mess from Sandy, they're traveling and even though they were challenged this week by coach Coughlin, they've been sloppy all year. Gotta go with my gut on this one.
NYG: 20
CIN: 27

Detroit Lions @ Minnesota Vikings: The loss of Percy Harvin is really going to hurt Christian Ponder and the passing game. They'd need another monster game out of Adrian Peterson to have much of a shot.
DET: 34
MIN: 23

Atlanta Falcons @ New Orleans Saints: If the Saints don't win this, they're done. Its in New Orleans, Roddy White has given them some nice bulletin board material and the defense appears to be improving since the return of Joe Vitt and Jonathan Vilma. Let's not forget that Drew Brees is still the superior quarterback.
ATL: 24
NO: 41

New York Jets @ Seattle Seahawks: The Jets have to travel to Seattle, where the Seahawks are unbeaten, and they still don't have a viable starting quarterback.
NYJ: 13
SEA: 24

Dallas Cowboys @ Philadelphia Eagles: They were both desperate last week and that didn't change their fortunes much. I'll go Eagles in Philadelphia because I think they realized how well they can still run the ball if the commit.
DAL: 27
PHI: 31

St. Louis Rams @ San Francisco 49ers: Poor Rams. They started so well.
STL: 10
SF: 27

Houston Texans @ Chicago Bears: I'm giving the slight edge to Chicago based on the fact that the only other even remotely cold game the Texans have played this year, was a squeker in New York a month ago.
HOU: 19
CHI: 23

Kansas City Chiefs @ Pittsburgh Steelers: I'd love a signature romping this week....like by 40 points. Like where Byron Leftwich throws a touchdown in the 4th quarter.
KC: 0
PIT: 41
