Adam’s Picks From The NFL Week 10

   It is time to see if I know as much about football as I think I do.  Let me know what you think about my picks for week ten.

Niners defeat the Bears at home 20-17. Alex Smith has something to prove and Jay Cutler does not have an outside receiving threat. Sure the Bears have some fast receivers but none of them have shown consistency this year and let’s face it the 49er’s defense is more athletic than the Bear offense not to mention that the run game for the Niners will probably tee off against a Bears defense that I believe to be suspect D line and linebacker core.

Saints defeat the Rams 45 – 6. I am not even going to waste your time discussing this.

Steelers defeat the Bengals 27-17. Two straight weeks against very physical competition will be the undoing of the Bengals. It’s the second half of the season and the Steelers are a more physical team that consistently play their best ball down the stretch. They will smack Cincy in the mouth all game long and I just don’t think the Bengals are up to the task. It will be close until the fourth quarter.

Jaguars upset the Jets 31-27. The Jaguars actually run the ball in this game and relieve some pressure for Garrard. They will get back to what they do best and I would look for the Jag’s defense to create three turnovers. No change of pace back for the jets has proven to be a serious issue.

Vikings defeat the Lions 35 – 14. Nothing Fancy here just the Vikings are a much better football team and should handle the Lions from start to finish.

Dolphins beat the Bucs 27 – 10. Dolphins are hungry and the Bucs are just nowhere near competitive at this point. I look for the Dolphins to sputter a bit early but when it is all said and done the Bucs will remain win less.

Denver beats Washington in a close one 21 – 20. I think this will be surprisingly close but at the end of the day the Broncos will take advantage of a late turnover. By the way can the Redskins fire their owner?

Panthers defeat the Falcons 27-21. The wheels have come off of the falcons and they have shown that you can beat them if you pressure Mr. Ryan. Peppers and company tee off and continue to improve. The offense has re discovered their Identity and taken the load off of Delhome.

Titans defeat the Bills 17 – 14. Vince finally back to being Vince and that creates issues for a defense that is very inconsistent. The Bills have the talent but will be caught out of position often and the Titans will keep the Bills offense on the sideline.

Raiders beat KC 17 – 10. A far more talented offense is the reason why. The Raiders will make slightly fewer mistakes but this game will not be impressive for either team’s fans.

Chargers Defeat the Eagles 31 – 24. Only because they are playing at home. These teams look to be evenly matched on both sides of the ball talent wise. If this game were played in Philly I would go the other way.

Cowboys beat the Packers 38- 31. This is going to be a shoot out but at the end of the day Rodgers will be sacked one too many times to win this one.

Cards beat the Seahawks 31 – 14. No running game and a defense that just isn’t good at all are exactly what the doctor ordered for Warner and the Cards. They will win a very simple division again this year but only because the other teams are worse than they are.

Pats beat the Colts 35 – 24. Is it me or do the Colts look off. I know their record doesn’t say that but seriously it is only a matter of time until the lack of a running game and a week secondary take their toll and with the Brady, moss and crew coming to town this will be the week.

Ravens route the Browns 31 – 7. All teams outside of the AFC North dream of having the Browns on their schedule twice. Why are they the only teams that have three by weeks. The Browns may have won a game but they are by far the worst team in the league. Seriously have they reached five hundred yards of offense yet?

Like it or not, these are my picks for this week. As always there is no guarantee however I would like to hear your assessments of them. Good luck this week.
