Week 8 record
7-6
Season record
61-39 (I started picks in week 3)
Well this week was definitely not how I wanted my picks to go, but one of those losses was the Bears beating the Packers, so nothing else matters! Haha!
And here’s my week 10 picks!
Washington at Minnesota
I don’t trust Washington at all, but I can’t bring myself to pick the team that’s starting Christian Ponder.
Pick: Redskins
Seattle at Atlanta
Seattle has looked like the weakest 8-1 team I can remember. They’ve won a lot of close games, and almost lost to Tampa Bay last week. Atlanta is just a hot mess all around, yet I was still tempted to pick them this week. I think Seattle gets another close one. P.S. - Pete Carroll you suck.
Pick: Seahawks
Detroit at Chicago
Jay Cutler starts for the Bears two weeks earlier than anyone not named Brandon Marshall expected, and I think the Bears remember the slap down the Lions gave them earlier in the season. I can’t see them getting a win in Soldier Field.
Pick: Bears
Philadelphia at Green Bay
Now that Seneca Wallace has gotten a week to prepare, let’s see if he can suck a little less than he did against the Bears. Nick Foles is due for a come back to Earth game, and Clay Matthews coming back should aid in that. I can’t pick the Packers with Wallace until he shows me something.
Pick: Eagles
Jacksonville at Tennessee
Ah, the lowly Jaguars got a week off, so they didn’t lose. Can they take that positive vibe into Tennessee and get a win? No.
Pick: Titans
St. Louis at Indianapolis
The Rams put up a valiant effort against the Titans last week. Kellen Clemons continues to do just enough not to win. How long does Fisher stick with him? Well Brady Quinn is the back-up, so I say the whole season.
Pick: Colts
Oakland at New York Giants
Oakland got bitch-slapped by Nick Foles last week, so I’m sure they’ll come out stronger this week, and the Giants are bad. For some reason I think the Giants pull together a win at home coming off the bye week.
Pick: Giants
Buffalo at Pittsburgh
The Steelers still suck, and E.J. Manuel gets the start this week coming back from injury. I think he’ll have some rust, and the Steelers might be able to take advantage of that.
Pick: Steelers
Cincinnati at Baltimore
With how bad Baltimore is playing, I can’t bring myself to pick them. Flacco has NOT looked good this year. They’re at home, and Cincinnati is coming off a bad loss to the Dolphins, but I think Mad Marvin Beyond Ginger Dome gets it done. With the help of AJ Green of course.
Pick: Bengals
Carolina at San Francisco
So Carolina wants to be taken seriously as a playoff contender. They have a chance to make some noise this week against the 49ers by the bay. I’m not sold on Carolina just yet, so they’ll have to prove it. I don’t think this week is the week.
Pick: 49ers
Houston at Arizona
Case Keenum takes his show on the road to Arizona this week. Arizona’s defense is legit, it’s only a matter if Carson Palmer can get something going against Houston’s defense. I think Houston rallies around Gary Kubiak this week and the defense comes through to help with a W.
Pick: Texans
Denver at San Diego
San Diego usually plays Denver tough, and they get the Broncos at home this week, but I can’t see Phillip Rivers whining out a win for the Bolts this week. It should be a good game, but Denver prevails.
Pick: Broncos
Dallas at New Orleans
I don’t think this game will be as close as anyone says. Rob Ryan gets to face his old team, the Jets beat down the Saints last week, and Romo never plays as well on the road. Easy win in my mind.
Pick: Saints
Miami at Tampa Bay
Tampa Bay needs to win eventually, right? I think with all the hoopla surrounding the Dolphins this week, and the fact that now the Dolphins have a pop warner offensive line opens the door for a pretty good Bucs defense to make some plays, and Mike Glennon eeks out a win for the Yucks. Upset Pick of the Week
Pick: Buccaneers
Bye Week: Cleveland, Kansas City, New England, New York Jets
