NFL Week 10 Matchups

Thursday Night Football:

Washington vs. Minnesota (8:25PM ET): The Washington Redskins have one of the worst defenses against the run so far this season. That being said, we should see AP keep the Vikings in this game, but I don't see that being enough to take this game. These are two very weak defenses so it'll be a game of offense vs. offense and in the end RG3 will pull his team in front with a comfortable win.

Redskins 30 - Vikings 17

Sunday Football:

Buffalo vs. Pittsburgh (1:00PM ET): EJ Manuel has been cleared and is expected to play this game which should hopefully add a bit more spark to this Bills offense. Manuel hasn't played since week 5 against the Browns, so coming getting back into full form might take more than one game. Taking that into consideration and the fact the Manuel is just a rookie going up against a difficult Steelers defense, I'll take the Steelers in this one.

Bills 14 - Steelers 24

Cincinnati vs. Baltimore (1:00PM ET): After a terrible loss to Miami last week, the Bengals hope to bounceback against the Ravens in week 10. I think we can all agree that this isn't the Ravens team we thought we would have coming into this game, as they also look to bounceback after losing to the Browns last week. Ray Rice is still under-performing along with nearly the entire Baltimore offense. Cincinnati is the clear cut favorites in this one and should take over easily. Watch out for AJ Green in this game.

Bengals 31 - Ravens 10

Detroit vs. Chicago (1:00PM ET): It's beginning to look like Jay Cutler will play in this one which is very good news for the Bears even though Josh McCown didn't look too bad last week. Originally, I expected a blowout here, but the return of Cutler says otherwise. Even without a blowout here, the Lions offense still looks too good to go against in this matchup and I still don't believe Cutler is 100%. Detroit comes out and finally gets a win in Chicago.

Lions 27- Bears 24

Philadelphia vs. Green Bay (1:00PM ET): I thought it was a gift from god that Matt Flynn was waived by the Bills on the same day that ARod went down, but the Packers front office thought otherwise. They've decided to stick with Seneca Wallace and that will be their demise in this one. Lacy will have another big day, but just not big enough.

Eagles 21 - Packers 7

St.Louis vs. Indianapolis (1:00PM ET): With Kellen Clemens still the starter for the Rams, it's not lookin' too good for them. They'll have to rely heavily on Zac Stacy who got the Rams their first 2 rushing TDs this season just last week. We saw last week the even when the Colts are down, they most certainly aren't out, but I don't think they'll have to worry about that this week. 

Rams 13 - Colts 28

Jacksonville vs. Tennessee (1:00PM ET): Luckily Jacksonville fans didn't have to watch their team lose last week, but unfortunately they will have to this week. The Jaguars still look like a terrible team and are now lacking their #1 WR in Justin Blackmon as he is suspended for the rest of the season. CJ2K lit it up last week and I expect him to do it one more time this week. The Titans come out with this one no problem.,

Jaguars 13 - Titans 31

Oakland vs. New York Giants (1:00PM ET): After the 0-6 start, the Giants have won 2 disgusting games in a row, but won't be able to make it 3. Unless something magical happened over the bye week, the Giants are still the team that we thought they were. Andre Brown is finally coming back this week after coming off the IR from a broken leg and he could create a spark in their offense, but it's not enough to make a fire.

Raiders 23 - Giants 17

Seattle vs. Atlanta (1:00PM ET): The Falcons walked away with another 'L' last week after being humiliated by the Panthers. This just isn't the team we thought they would be when the season started and they're in no way capable of handling this Seahawk team. Roddy White should be 100% coming into this week, but he's nothing more than a band-aid on a gunshot wound.

Seahawks 31- Falcons 10

Carolina vs. San Francisco (4:05PM ET): The 49ers are coming off a bye week against a hot Carolina team. I think this should be the best matchup this week and will be a true measurement of how good this Panther team really is. I think they're the real deal and will come out with the upset in this one as long as their defense can keep Kaepernick in the pocket.

Panther 17 - 49ers 10

Denver vs. San Diego (4:25PM ET): Denver's coming off of a bye and is going up against a weak San Diego passing defense, the one thing you don't want when you're facing a man like Peyton Manning. You shouldn't expect anything less than 400 yards and 4 TDs from Peyton this week. Don't worry San Diego, it's not you, it's just Peyton Manning.


Broncos 42 - Chargers 27 

Houston vs. Arizona (4:25PM ET): Case Keenum has proven he can throw the ball when he threw for 350 yards and 3 TDs and 0 INTs against the Colts last week. He faces a true challenge this week when he has to face Patrick Peterson and the rest of the Arizona secondary who is going to force him to throw away from Andre Johnson. If the Texans can stop the running game, I think Keenum can still do the rest. It'll be a close one, but I think Houston can come out on top.

Texans 21 - Cardinals 20

Dallas vs. New Orleans (8:30PM ET): New Orleans is trying to come out and win this after a tough loss against the Jets last week. Rob Ryan faces his former team and if they want to win this, the defense is going to have to put a wide workload in. They're going to have to shut down Dez Bryant while still trying to stop DeMarco Murray in which they had a very tough time against the run last week. If the defense can step up and let the offense do what they do, the Saints can take this one.

Cowboys 24 - Saints 28

Monday Night Football:

Miami vs. Tampa Bay (8:40PM ET): Oh what a thriller... No, really I think this may be a surprisingly good game. Stop laughing. Mike Glennon has added a new dimension to they're offense and they look surprisingly good. Despite that fact they still have yet to come out with their first win. Until Monday. That'll all change Monday night as they go out and give Tannehill a beating and Glennon throws a game winning TD in overtime. 

Dolphins 17 - Buccaneers 23 (OT)
