Week Ten in the NFL

November 11, 2007 | By Chris White | Discuss

Completely off the cuff this week, as I delve into the art of brevity. Brevity is what you call it when you can’t put down your vacation malt beverages long enough for any meaningful debate…

Jacksonville at Tennessee: The Titans have ripped off three straight, and get the Jags at a great time. Jacksonville’s defense is reeling, while there’s still uncertainty at QB…
Titans 24 - Jaguars 20.

Denver at Kansas City: The Broncos have dropped five of six, are even worse off lately vs. the AFC, and terrible on the road. Home team here has won nine of the past ten games, make it ten…
Chiefs 31 - Broncos 26.

Buffalo at Miami: Dolphins have been a terrible bet against the AFC East for years. The Bills are still in this thing, and could very easily be looking for their 6th win straight, if they hadn’t given Dallas those extra chances in early October…
Bills 28 - Dolphins 20.

Cleveland at Pittsburgh: 34-7 the last time these two met. Steelers coming off the big Monday Nighter vs. Baltimore have been dominant at home. As much as I like the improving Browns, they’re walking into the Lion’s Den Sunday…
Steelers 27 - Browns 13.

St. Louis at New Orleans: Rams are averaging just under five (5) points per game on the road this year. The Saints have plugged their holes on both sides of the ball…
Saints 30 - Rams 5.

Atlanta at Carolina: Good game to pass on. Panthers have been solid vs. the Falcons lately, but when you’re best option at QB is the 57 year old, ‘questionable’ Vinnie Testeverde, its tough to lay the number…
Panthers 16 - Falcons 13 (OT).

Philadelphia at Washington: While the Skins are playing there best football at home, they’ve been average at best lately vs. anyone. Eagles playing for pride now after getting thumped on national TV last week. I think McNabb and Westbrook can give you at least a cover, possibly a win here…
Redskins 21 - Eagles 20.

Minnesota at Green Bay: Visitors are 10-1 ATS past ten ballgames in this long running rivalry. Packers staring 9-1 in the face, should be sky high after b2b road wins. Trouble is, Vikes just knocked off San Diego…
Packers 20 - Vikings 17 (OT).

Cincinnati at Baltimore: Sure, the Ravens are tough at home, but they are an abysmal 1-8 vs. the line this season. Bengals would like nothing better but to drag their AFC North buddies right into the gutter with them. I think they can, and will certainly grab the spread…
Bengals 23 - Ravens 16.

Chicago at Oakland: Why not, Oakland will lose to anyone at home…
Bears 28 - Raiders 13

Dallas at Giants: Good ballgame for NFC East fans (aka, everyone reading this). G-Men a home dog to the boys that made their defense look awful early this season. I think they even the season’s series late Sunday afternoon, to knock American’s Team down a peg…
Giants 27 - Cowboys 24.

Detroit at Arizona: Steer clear of this one! Home team is very solid between the two, but I see this as a low scoring snooze fest, with the Lions looking at four straight…
Lions 17 - Cardinals 14 (OT).

Indianapolis at San Diego: The Colts played a great game last week in defeat, in the week 9 cover vs. New England. I don’t see them losing two in a row, and will re-insert themselves as the NFL’s 2nd best team Sunday…
Colts 27 - Chargers 17.

Monday
San Francisco at Seattle: While its true SF hasn’t won a game since mid-September, I think the number is too high here. Both teams have key players nicked up, and with bad weather in the forecast, I foresee a low scoring, sloppy Monday Night affair…
Seattle 17 - 49ers 13.
