I have to say, the weeks are flying by. It just seems like I was writing up the Week 9 predictions, and here we are, already on the eve before Week 10's kickoff. Last week, going 9-5, certainly was not my best week. This brings the yearly record to 88-44. I have to admit, the analysis this week won't be nearly as in depth as it has been each of the other weeks. I've had very little time to devout watching last weeks games, nor spending much time doing research online. I'm a bit nervous about picking like this, as up until now, I don't truly have a handle on the major injuries.
I had considered to make the Thursday Game's prediction now, and then return on Saturday with the other games, but I looked at my planner and there's no way I'll have the time to fit the research in, so it really doesn't make any sense delaying the picks. That said…
Week 10.
Thursday Night's Game
Indianapolis Colts @ Jacksonville Jaguars
Jags might be home but they'll continue to be without all-pro RB Maurice Jones-Drew. Andrew Luck is already looking every bit the part Indianapolis hoped he'd one day become and is setting rookie passing records in the process. Indy's defense is not very good, but they might look very good after playing Jacksonville's anemic offense. Indianapolis 27-14
Sunday's Games
San Diego Chargers @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
I'm still saying wow at Doug Martin's game. It's definitely a game I'll be watching sometime, even if it's during next week. The stat line was crazy and while running games to some aren't the most fun to watch, I really enjoy watching one that is executed to it's fullest potential. That said, SD's run defense is near the top of the league in that department and they finally had a really nice all around performance this past weekend. On the road at the Big Sombrero, especially with how the Buc's have been playing lately, tempts me to take TB, yet, I'm feeling the Chargers in this one. Just a hunch, nothing more. SD 28-25
Tennessee Titans @ Miami Dolphins
Titans were manhandled in Chicago last week while Miami lost a close one to Indianapolis. Conventional logic should dictate that Miami would be the team to take here, and it does look promising. However, I read that Jake Locker, right now, looks to be ready to start for Tennessee this week. He's a different type of QB from Hasselback, and presents defenses with so much more to prepare for. I think getting him back will spark the Titans. I look for a really nice passing game, which, despite Miami's defensive success this year, team's have been able to do, and nice games out of Locker, Washington and one other player, perhaps Britt or Wright. For the Dolphins, I think they'll do well offensively as well. Tennessee's defense is attrocious and while Miami is not a high scoring team at any angle, points will be had. Yet, that said, I think getting Locker back will have a psychological lift and instead of giving up 38 points, perhaps they only give up 30 to the Dolphins. Titans by 5. 35-30
New York Giants @ Cincinnati Bengals
I think the Giants bounce back nicely and get the win. Wish I had more to talk about, but the one thing I can say is that this should be a fun game to watch. Should be a lot of passing stats for both teams. 31-28 NYG
Atlanta Falcons @ New Orleans Saints
This is just stupid, but I'm taking the Saints. And I'm doing it for apparently no valid rationale. I think Atlanta is due for a loss and I the Saints defense actually had a pretty decent game last week. Granted it was against Vick and that pathetic excuse for an offensive line, but nevertheless, they looked good. Brees is great and Graham is back. Close, but just a gut feeling. NO 36-33
Dallas Cowboys @ Philadelphia Eagles
Philly's freefall continues. Dallas is not impressive, but somehow will pull this game out. This has the makings of one of those games where neither team will look as if they want to win, in fact, I can see several turnovers late and at the end one team will stand victorious. I'll go with Dallas. 24-21
Buffalo Bills @ New England Patriots
Bills didn't get blown out against Houston, but really, despite the score, never seemed like they really were going to get it done. NE will most likely have their way with my Bills yet again. It is sad to, to think how excited Bills fans were before the start to the year, and how we had high hopes for this season, and now, we are really close to that yearly game of guessing draft positioning. Pats 42-20
Oakland Raiders @ Baltimore Ravens
Oakland should be able to move the ball. This Ravens defense is not the same as it has been. But Baltimore's the better team and most often the better team wins. I'll lean the Raven's way here. 27-21
Denver Broncos @ Carolina Panthers
Cam had a good week last week as they pulled off a nice win. Denver is really looking good though and I think they'll be the better team in Charlotte on Sunday. Denver 26-18
Detroit Lions @ Minnesota Vikings
It's weird. Detroit had their full team together the first part of the year and were pathetic to watch. Last week Calvin was iffy and went off, Broyles and Young also have been pretty nice compliments. Stafford is playing great the past couple and the game from LeShoure last week was very good, only outshined by Doug Martins Game. Viking hype train has slowed down something fierce as of late. Detroit 38-24
New York Jets @ Seattle Seahawks
Jets look bad. Seattle's nearly invincible at home. 31-9 Seahawks, scoring from each phase of the game. Pick 6, Punt Ret Td, Rushing TD and Receiving TD, with a FG to boot.
St. Louis Rams @ San Francisco 49ers
I'll take SF here, but preface it with surprising close. The reason is that Bradford gets his favorite target back this week in Danny Amendola, they were on record pace for catches before he got hurt a month or so ago. They should pick right up where they left off. But SF is too strong to lose at home. 5 FGs and 2 TD's for niners in this one 29-20
Houston Texans @ Chicago Bears
Should be a good game. Two 7-1 teams facing off. Two good defenses. Two effective offenses. Should be quite the strategic game. I will take Houston, just because of JJ Watt and Arian Foster, who are the best Offensive and Defensive players in the game in my opinion for either team. 24-23 Houston. Easily could see it going the other way though.
Monday Night Game
Kansas City Chiefs @ Pittsburgh Steelers
Cassel starts again this week. Just FYI. Pittsburgh looks as if they'll have all 3 of their RB's to pick from this week, but no Antonio Brown for Big Ben. KC is a pushover by pushover standards and this should be an easy win for the Steelers. Pittsburgh 33-7
Enjoy the games, see you next week for Week 11

Fantasy Football League Week 10 Game Predictions
I only went 3-3 last week as a couple shocking developments cost me two wins. My season record is now at 33-19-2. The 3 games I lost:
Blood & Thunder pulled off a stunning upset against Repeal Obama. RO's GM was fully at ease when Miles Austin went down after a couple of big catches. But he wasn't counting on the John Skelton and Reggie Bush Factors. B & T pulled off an 11 point upset, where Skelton gained an improbable 13 points and Bush got the unlikely total of 21 points to secure the underdog victory.
But that game didn't nearly match the magnitude of upset as the winless 7QB's deep 147 to 137 win against Mission:Repeat. M:R had guys going off all over the place, but so did 7QB's. Very shocking as the 7QB's only scored 43 points the week earlier. Also there was the interesting development of a trade that was accepted between Repeal Obama and 7QB's on Friday Night. 7QB's shipped Rivers off to RO for Murray and Alex Smith. The trade would've pulled a 3 point off for RO instead of the 11 point loss, and a 3 point win over M:R for 7QB's. The interesting development was that, which I have on good information, that Rivers was informed of this trade just minutes before kickoff. It's rumored that Rivers called the 7QB's owner personally during warmups, where he apologized for stinking the joint up all year, and vowed to put forth his best effort of the year. That in fact he did.
Thug Life pulled off a late win over DreamKiller who has since been working the phones, trying to secure some keeper trades before tomorrow's deadline.
On to this weeks action, where there are some huge implications on the line here:
F Philly Vs. Iron Pigs
The Pigs season is virtually done with, after suffering some tough upsets early. F Philly has reeled lately but they are still in the hunt for a playoff spot, but need to win 3 of the next 4 to have a chance. If they lose this week they'll need to win out. I think the pigs put em down this week. Iron Pigs 118 F Philly 111
Manning Vs Food Vs. Dreamkiller
Depending on what DK's team looks like this week it could be a nailbiter for MVF. MVF is in the same boat as F Philly, needing 3 of 4 to have a shot at the playoffs, but I see him pulling this one out. MVF 122 DK 115
Repeal Obama Vs. Cinderella Story
Cinderella story needs a win or for all likely purposes they are toast as far as playoffs go. They need to win out. While RO is still sitting in pretty good shape I think they'd like to stop the bleeding after seeing an undefeated team drop 3 of 4 weeks. They've made some serious moves to address their apparent weaknesses. The previously mentioned Rivers trade offers huge upside potential as does the acquisition of Roddy White from 6 Wide. White has been overshadowed by the emergence of Julio Jones but has elite potential in his DNA. He paid the price to get him though, bailing on Shonn Greene to secure the elite Wideout. I don't like Greene long term, but I think this deal helps both teams immensely. RO needed another elite WR to accompany Megatron, while 6Wide needed a number one back. While Greene is lacking when compared to other number 1 backs, he plays many of the rest of his games in the cold, which we all know is RB weather.
RO stops the bleeding in a mercy killing of Cinderella. RO 110 Cinderella Story 98
6Wide Vs. Thug Life
Must win game for both teams. While both probably only need 2 of 4 to secure a playoff spot, the winner here will have the upper hand at snaring one of the six seeds. Should be a tough one, and a high scoring contest to boot. 6 Wide 126 Thug 119
Blood & Thunder Vs. 7 QB's Deep
I've picked against B & T and 7 QB's all year. I guess I have to pick one here. I'll go with the upset of all upsets. 7 QB's goes back to back with an unlikely Julio Jones/DeMarco Murray explosion. B & T is a team that looked elite on paper early, but is only where they are at for hitting the right teams at the right times, making a great use of waiver wire pickups and yes, getting lucky from the TE, K and Defense positions throughout the year. 7 QB's 133 B & T 132
Clean Slate Vs. Mission Repeat
Game of the week. This game matters in the same fashion as 6Wide Vs. Thug life. But I can easily see the loser of this game as the odd man out of playoff contention, as they're matchups moving forward and opponents don't look all that favorable. Unfortunately we have yet another tightly spun game that will hinge on two factors for each team. Will Clean Slate get a huge game out of the Fitzmagic to D Nelson connection, where Nelson will be playing, for the first time all year, in front of his girlfriend, who just happens to be a Dallas cheerleader. Or does the Denver domination continue for M:R who is starting Tebow and McGahee both, not only with confidence, but expecting huge games from both of these guys. I like the matchup against KC much better for M:R than I do the Dallas matchup for CS. M:R 103 CS 101

NFL Week 10 Game Predictions
Well, in week 9, I posted a terrible 8-6 mark. I didn't compare past weeks performance, but I am fairly confident this record is my lowest for any of the weeks thus far. Including last week, my record now stands at 87-43, still slightly above .750, yet 8-6 was very disappointing.
The games I missed on:
Jets over Bills: Never saw this one coming. I knew it was a possibility, in fact I thought the teams would split, but I had the loss coming in Jersey.
Denver over Oakland. Willis McGahee was huge and Tebow came up big in the read option John Fox is running now in Denver. It's funny, because as poorly Denver began the season, they are now right in the thick of things, only 1 game back of the other teams in the division, who at present are all 4-4.
Arizona over St. Louis. I believe I said that I thought this game could have gone either way, but went with St. Louis based off their impressive win one week earlier. Good for the Cards to pull one out the way the did, OT punt return by Peterson was impressive.
Baltimore over Pittsburgh. Another close one. I thought it could have gone either way, but with home field advantage and the way the teams had been playing leading up to this one, I didn't think the Steelers would lose. I was wrong
NY Giants over NE patriots. I really thought Brady and Co. would come out strong after losing the week before, but they didn't until late. That comeback drive by Eli Manning was impressive, and as a Bills fan I'm glad it ended the way it did.
Chicago over Philadelphia. Kind of shocked about this one, I really thought the Eagles would play better, especially Vick, but Cutler and Bennett impressed.
On to Week 10 and a full slate of 16 games:
Thursday Night Football
Oakland Raiders @ San Diego Chargers
First Thursday Night game of the year. Both teems reeling a bit after back to back losses. I like the raiders and Palmer long term, but I think the learning curve is great, especially with no DMC. Rivers had an excellent game down the stretch last week, just coming short against powerhouse GB, so I expect they build upon that here.
San Diego 28 Oakland 20
Buffalo Bills @ Dallas Cowboys
I'd like to pick the Bills here, and with Miles Austin out they do have a better chance than with him in there, but they need to stop DeMarco Murray. That's the key here, as I think the improved Dallas defense holds F-Jax, Fitz and Co. in relative check this week. I see a close one, but unfortunately with Dallas winning at home. Dallas 31 Buffalo 28
Tennessee Titans @ Carolina Panthers
I should probably take the Titans here, but I like what Newton is doing and I see some mismatches with Stewart and Smith against the Titans Defense. Carolina 21 Tennessee 17
Houston Texans @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Who knows what Tampa offense we get this week. It's tough to predict. But what's not to predict is how well the Texans are running the football. They probably get Andre Johnson back this week, but even if they hold him out another week I see a Houston victory likely here. Houston 31 Tampa Bay 20
Jacksonville Jaguars @ Indianapolis Colts
Jags win easily. MJD all day long. Additionally I like the Jags defense here, they are underrated and should come up big against a Colts team that is not playing well at all. Jacksonville 27 Indianapolis 13
Arizona Cardinals @ Philadelphia Eagles
Cards get Kolb back most likely, but Eagles will abuse the Arizona secondary and take revenge on their MNF performance. Vick, Maclin, Jackson and McCoy-start em' with confidence in your fantasy leagues this week. Philadelphia 34 Arizona 13
St. Louis Rams @ Cleveland Browns
I think this should be the lowest scoring game of the week. I am tempted to take the Browns at home, but I'm going with St. Louis, as the Bradford to Lloyd connection should just keep getting stronger after a game and a week of practice are now in the books. Look for a close one though. St. Louis 13 Cleveland 10
Washington Redskins @ Miami Dolphins
Tale of two teams. Redskins started hot and are now like ice, and not in a good way. Miami was terrible and then the flip switched against the Giants. Yes, they lost that game, but they figured out how to use Reggie Bush and it showed again in KC last week, where they got their first win. Probably too late for anything this year, but they'll beat the Skins at home. Miami 21 Washington 10
Denver Broncos @ Kansas City Chiefs
Who knows with KC, but I like the read option Tebow led Broncos a lot now and see this game as a rout. Denver 34 KC 17
New Orleans Saints @ Atlanta Falcons
Tough Divisional Match-up. Atlanta at home makes a lot of sense, but I think Brees and Co. will keep it going this week in a close one, where a lot of points are put up. NO 33 Atlanta 28
Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cincinnati Bengals
I guess we find out if Cincinnati is for real or not this week. I think they are, but not up to Pittsburgh's status yet. Big Ben is slinging the ball all around and will have a tough test against an NFL top defense, but I think they'll do enough to get it done. Pittsburgh 17 Cincinnati 14
New York Giants @ San Francisco 49'ers
Wow I am really looking forward to this game. The Cinderella darling niners, where I have to believe Harbaugh is a strong leader for coach of the year right now. What a defense. Should be interesting to see how it fares against a pretty hot Giants offense. I think the Giants pull it out in San Fran. NYG 26 SF 18
Baltimore Ravens @ Seattle Seahawks
I don't care how great Lynch and Rice are playing. I can't pick them, even with an above average home defense and a schizophrenic QB in Flacco going against them. I like Baltimore on the road.
Baltimore 34 Seattle 9
Detroit Lions @ Chicago Bears
Detroits rested but they may be without their kicker Hanson. Could be a big deal as I see this game going back and forth for three quarters, with the visitors pulling it out in the 4th. Detroit 35 Chicago 31
Sunday Night Football
New England Patriots @ NY Jets
I know the Jets just one a huge game last week and the Pats have dropped two straight. I'm just not a believer in the Jets offense. We know the NY defense is great but they can be ran on and Brady is Brady. I see a good game for the first half with NE making the proper adjustments at halftime and owning the second half of play. NE 27 NYJ 21
Monday Night Football
Green Bay Packers @ Minnesota Vikings
Rookie QB Christian Ponder almost pulled off the upset of upsets in his first ever start, coming close to tying the game late, and that was on the road. Green Bay has been dominating teams early and letting them back in the game late. I can't see the Vikings shocking the world here but it should be very much like their first go round. GB 35 Minnesota 28
