Week 10 Picks

Thursday Night
Indianapolis @ (+3.5) Jacksonville
Joe: IND. The case for Jacksonville as the worst team in the league and potential LA suitor are pretty solid. Then again, their only win of the season came in Indianapolis. Then again, no one is debating Luck v Gabbert.
Mike: IND. I'm going out on a limb here, but I think the 2012 QB Draft Class of Luck, Griffin, Tannehill, Weeden, Wilson will exceed the class of 2011: Newton, Locker, Gabbart, Ponder, Dalton, Kaepernick. (The 2010 QB class was Bradford, Tebow, Clausen, McCoy, Skelton... Bletch!)
Final: Indianapolis by 17. That Luck kid is pretty good and in the driver's seat for a playoff berth in his first NFL season. (JM)

Sunday
New York Giants @ (+4.5) Cincinnati
Joe: NYG. Give me the Giants coming off a loss over the Bengals coming off of 4 straight losses.
Mike: NYG. It's that time of the year for the Giants to go on a streak.
Final: Cincinnati by 18. Adding to our list of awesome picks and predictions. (xx)

Tennessee @ (-6.5) Miami
Joe: MIA. Not sure we would have thought Miami would be favored in any game after their showing on Hard Knocks. Now with a little luck, they could challenge for the last Wild Card spot.
Mike: MIA. You get HBO?
Final: Titans by 34. The list grows. (xx)

Detroit @ (+2.5) Minnesota
Joe: DET. With Percy Harvin out for the Viking, I'm not sure where they find enough offense to stay in the game unless Stafford throws them some points like he tends to do.
Mike: MIN. With Calvin Johnson on the ropes, I'm not sure where they find enough offense to stay in the game unless... echo... echo... echo...
Final: Minnesota by 10. Apparently Matt Stafford only plays in the 4th quarter. (M)

Buffalo @ (-11.5) New England
Joe: NE. Hate giving this many points to a decent team but the Pats off a bye and at home might put up 40.
Mike: NE.
Final: New England by 6. They really should have won by 20 but that defense can't stop anyone. (xx)

Atlanta @ (+2.5) New Orleans
Joe: NO. Riding the Saints wave this week. It's pretty disrespectful to the Falcons that they can come in 8-0 vs a 3-5 team and not even be favored by a full field goal.
Mike: ATL
Final: New Orleans by 4. Saints playoffs??? (J)

San Diego @ (-3.5) Tampa Bay
Joe: TB. The Bucs have burned me recently so I'm going with Mike's rule (everyone's rule) about the west coast teams heading east for an early game. That and the whole Norv thing.
Mike: SD. Just to spite you for stealing my rule.
Final: Tampa Bay by 10. No one stole your rule. The rule should be stay away from San Diego. (J)

Denver @ (+3.5) Carolina
Joe: DEN. The Panthers got their good game out of their system last week and will follow it up with a clunker. At least we'll get to see Cam do his Superman pose down by 20 points and get booed off the field.
Mike: DEN
Final: Denver by 22. Pretty sure I didn't see one highlight from this game. (JM)

Oakland @ (-7.5) Baltimore
Joe: OAK. Anyone with eyes can see the Ravens aren't that good.
Mike: BAL.
Final: Baltimore by 35. Isn't there some sort of rule about picking west coast teams heading east for early games?? (M)

New York Jets @ (-6.5) Seattle
Joe: SEA. Really?? Who's taking the Jets in this situation??
Mike: NYJ. THIS GUY.
Final: Seattle by 21. Please unleash Tebow next week!!! (J)

Dallas @ (-1.5) Philadelphia
Joe: DAL. DeMarcus Ware just sacked Vick again.
Mike: DAL. It's not Vick's fault. That line is Horrible.
Final: Dallas by 15. Let the Nick Foles era begin. (JM)

St. Louis @ (-11.5) San Francisco
Joe: SF. Not sure how the Rams score in this one unless Legatron hits a 70yd FG.
Mike: SF. Haha. Legatron.
Final: TIE. A TIE?!?!?! ARE YOU &$#@&%$# KIDDING ME, NFL?!?! The Rams blew this one multiple times but still, A FREAKING TIE!!!! (xx)

Houston @ (-1.5) Chicago
Joe: CHI. Even matchup to me so I take the home team.
Mike: HOU.
Final: Houston by 7. I still like both these teams to make deep playoff runs. (M)

Monday Night
Kansas City @ (-12.5) Pittsburgh
Joe: PIT. Somehow Gruden will say something positive about the Chiefs, I just have no idea what it could be.
Mike: PIT. Gotta post these so I can turn on RedZone.
Final: Pit in OT. (xx)

Mike: 6-8
Joe: 6-8
