NFL: 2008 Week 10 Predictions


Week 9 Record: 10-4
Overall Record: 71-59

Tennessee Titans (7-0) @ Chicago Bears (5-3)


Pick: Titans

Sexy Rexi is so unreliable. Eessh.

Outcome: Titans 21 Bears 14 - Titans win despite negative five yards rushing in the first half.

Jacksonville Jaguars (4-4) @ Detroit Lions (0-8)

Pick: Jaguars

There is an entire generations of Lions fans that has yet to witness a winner, yet expansion teams like Jacksonville have came within a game of getting to the Super Bowl.

Outcome: Jags 38 Lions 14 - Lions woes deepen; Mediocre Jags blow out Lions.

Seattle Seahawks (2-6) @ Miami Dolphins (4-4)

Pick: Dolphins

The Seahawks enjoy warmer climate games, but it's the Dolphins who have the biggest need to leave it all on the field.

Outcome: Dolphins 21 Seahawks 19 - Dolphins win on batted down two point conversion.

Buffalo Bills (5-3) @ New England Patriots (5-3)

Pick: Patriots

The Pats are 3-1 at home, although their one home loss was by 25 to the in division rival, Dolphins.

Outcome: Patriots 20 Bills 10 - Bills on shaky ground.

New Orleans Saints (4-4) @ Atlanta Falcons (5-3)

Pick: Falcons

The Falcons shut out the Raiders and now its time for more of a challenge, taking on the Saints high throttle offense.

Outcome: Falcons 34 Saints 20 - Saints lose on Drew Brees's inept performance.

Denver Broncos (4-4) @ Cleveland Browns (3-5)

Pick: Broncos

Broncos would appear to be the safe pick.

Outcome: Broncos 34 Browns 30 - Cutler throws for 447 yards.

Green Bay Packers (4-4) @ Minnesota Vikings (4-4)

Pick: Vikings

The Packers looked like a much better team in their Week 1 match-up with the Vikings at Lambeau. But now it is the Vikings to turn the tables at the Dome.

Outcome: Vikings 28 Packers 27 - Peterson rushes for 192 yards.


Baltimore Ravens (5-3) @ Houston Texans (3-5)

Pick: Texans

The Ravens probably have a false sense of accomplishment following wins over the Raiders and Browns.

Outcome: Ravens 41 Texans 13 - Flacco poised in Ravens fourth straight win.

St Louis Rams (2-6) @ New York Jets (5-3)

Pick: Jets

The Jets pulled the reigns too tightly on Favre with the many screen passes and short routes. Teams will tighten the bolts if Favre goes for the 20 plus yard strike not very often.

Outcome: Jets 47 Rams 3 - Jets win extremely lopsided game.

Carolina Panthers (6-2) @ Oakland Raiders (2-6)

Pick: Panthers

The Panthers are quietly handling their business each week.

Outcome: Panthers 17 Raiders 6 - Panthers avoid 'long plane ride home.'

Kansas City Chiefs (1-7) @ San Diego Chargers (3-5)

Pick: Chargers

The last two weeks, the Chiefs barely lost to two possible playoff teams, the Jets and Bucs. Could they get over the hump and effectively end the Chargers playoffs aspirations? The smart money is still on the Chiefs.

Outcome: Chargers 20 Chiefs 19 - Bolts have Hart.

Indianapolis Colts (6-2) @ Pittsburgh Steelers (4-4)

Pick: Steelers

Byron Leftwich does not realize that he is effectively a system quarterback. The system is that the quarterback need not win the game, merely not lose the game for them. Still, Leftwich should get the job done.

Outcome: Colts 24 Steelers 20 - Colts end 40 victory drought in Pittsburgh.


New York Giants (7-1) @ Philadelphia Eagles (5-3)

Pick: Giants

The Giants are reminscient of 90's NFC teams like the Giants, 49ers and Cowboys who stuck out as the cream of the crop.

Outcome: Giants 36 Eagles 31 - Westbrook comes up short on 4th and one.

San Francisco 49ers (2-6) @ Arizona Cardinals (5-3)

Pick: Cardinals

The 49ers are riding a five game losing streak.

Outcome: Cardinals 29 49ers 24 - Bad coaching effectively costs the 49ers a chance at playoffs.
