NFL Week 10 Picks

Here are my picks for Week 10:

Broncos at Browns: Brady Quinn will get his much anticpated first start tonight, and what a defense to get it agaisnt. The Broncos are giving up 243 yarsd per game, thats good for 17th in the NFL. Pick: Browns

Saints at Falcons: The Falcons have been the surprise team of the year. This is a great quarterback match up, with Drew Brees facing the impressive rookie Matt Ryan. The match up that will give the Falcons the win is Micheal Turner vs the Saints run defense. Pick: Falcons

Titans at Bears: With Kyle Orton at quarterback, who has had an impressive season, I might give the Bears a chance. But I don't see Rex Grossman beating one of the best defenses in the league. Pick: Titans

Jacksonville at Lions: Upset of the Week. The Lions are going to start Daunte Culpepper, who signed just 5 days ago. But I like the combination of him and Calvin Johnson, plus the Lions are at home. Plus, the Lions cant lose every game, can they? Pick: Lions

Panthers at Raiders: Poor Eagles fans. What looked to be a top first round pick when they aquired it from the Panthers on draft day is now going to be a low one. The Raiders suck, and despite being at home, have no chance. Pick: Panthers

Seahawks at Dolphins: The Dolphins are the feel good story of the year, with players like Chad Pennington and Ronnie Brown bouncing back and carrying this team to a surprising 4-4 record. Pick: Dolphins

Packers at Vikings: This is a tough one. The Packers beat the Vikings in week 1, but that was at Green Bay. But Green Bay has one of the top defenses in the league, and defense wins game on the road. I could see this game going either way. Pick: Packers

Bills at Patriots: The Bills are fading fast, having lost 2 in a row. I don't think this young team is ready to go into Foxbourough and win a meaningful division game. Pick: Patriots

Rams at Jets: After beating the Redskins and Cowboys, the Rams have fallen back down to earth. The Jets need this win, and Ill go with Brett Farve to get it done. Pick: Jets

Colts at Steelers: In Indianopolis, I might give the Colts the edge. But this one is in Pittsburgh, and it will be cold there this time of month. The Colts won a close one last week to keep their playoff hopes alive, but not this time. Pick: Steelers

Cheifs at Chargers: The Chargers have been dissapointing this season. But despite the problems they have, the Cheifs are even worse. Pick: Chargers

Ravens at Texans: Joe Flacco and Ray Rice have been great this year, contributing to the Ravens 5-3 start. All signs point to the Ravens, but on a hunch, I'll go agaisnt them. Pick: Texans

49ers at Cardinals: In a weak Monday Night Football matchup, Mike Singletary leads the 49ers into Arizona to face the division leading Cardinals. The Cardinals have so many weapons on offense, and they are alreay talking about an extention for Kurt Warner. Poor Matt Leinhart. Pick: Cardinals
