Week 10 NFL Picks

It's Thursday so that means its time to lock in our picks that everyone will judge us by. As always, some excellent games and some legitimate stinkfests (I'm looking at you Dolphins and Redskins). Here are the picks:

Oakland vs San Diego

Football is back on Thursday. Now we just have to start the campaign for a 42 game season and we can have football everyday.


Pitmaster: Oakland 14, San Diego 23

Frank: San Diego 24, Oakland 16

New Orleans vs Atlanta

One of the better games of the week. It'll be interesting to see how Julio Jones performs and if Mark Ingram can come back strong after a 2 week hiatus.

Pitmaster: New Orleans 31, Atlanta 21

Frank: Atlanta 24, New Orleans 17

Tennessee vs Carolina

Do you hate Chris Johnson? No? Then he's not on your fantasy team. Everyone is predicting this is the week he'll finally show up. I'll believe it when I see it.

Pitmaster: Carolina 28, Tennessee 13

Frank: Tennessee 31, Carolina 28

Pittsburgh vs Cincinnati

Andy Dalton would easily be rookie of the year if not for Cam Newton. A.J. Green is also a contender for the accolade. Will it be enough to beat a pretty under the radar Steelers team.

Pitmaster: Pittsburgh 24, Cincinnati 10

Frank: Pitt 24, Cin 10

St. Louis vs Cleveland

The only reason to watch this game is if you have Stephen Jackson on your fantasy team or you love rooting for bad teams.

Pitmaster: St. Louis 17, Cleveland 10

Frank: St. Louis 21, Cleveland 20

Buffalo vs Dallas

Should be a great game. Buffalo is trying to stave off another free fall (2008). Meanwhile, Dallas is trying to prove they belong at the top of the NFC East.

Pitmaster: Buffalo 22, Dallas 17

Frank: Buffalo 17, Dallas 14

Jacksonville vs Indianapolis

If you're a fan of any bad team you hate this game. Indianapolis seems hell bent on losing but Jacksonville would be right with them if not for Maurice Jones-Drew.


Pitmaster: Indianapolis 17, Jacksonville 7

Frank: Indianapolis 21, Jaguars 17

Denver vs Kansas City

Tim Tebow doesn't score in real life and he won't in this game. Read option? Please.

Pitmaster: Kansas City 24, Denver 0

Frank: Kansas City 20, Denver 10

Washington vs Miami

The Dolphins will continue to do everything in their power to not get Andrew Luck.

Pitmaster: Miami 23, Washington 20

Frank: Miami 28, Washington 14

Arizona vs Philadelphia

Who let the dogs out? Michael Vick. There's a joke in there somewhere.

Pitmaster: Philadelphia 24, Arizona 13

Frank: Philadelphia 38, Arizona 17

Houston vs Tampa Bay

As long as Houston's offensive line stays healthy they should never lose even in spite of Matt Schaub who is secretly terrible.

Pitmaster: Houston 24, Tampa Bay 10

Frank: Tampa Bay 28, Houston 24

Baltimore vs Seattle

Baltimore is good. Seattle is not.

Pitmaster: Baltimore 20, Seattle 6

Frank: Baltimore 28, Seattle 10

Detroit vs Chicago

Have you tried watching Chicago Bears games? They are hands down the most boring team to watch. I wouldn't even want to win a superbowl if I had to watch 19 Bears games a year.

Pitmaster: Chicago 20, Detroit 17

Frank: Chicago 21, Detroit 17

New York Giants vs San Francisco

San Francisco might finally be tested. Then again the Giants may be the Giants...

Pitmaster: New York Giants 31, San Francisco 16

Frank: San Francisco 27, Giants 24

New England vs New York Jets

Huge game for both teams. Is Mark Sanchez still terrible? Yeah? Then the Patriots should win.



Pitmaster: New England 30, New York Jets 13

Frank: New England 30, New York Jets 16

Minnesotta vs Green Bay

Minnesotta is Barry Sandersing the shit out of Adrian Peterson. Maybe Ponder can turn it around.

Pitmaster: Green Bay 34, Minnesotta 24

Frank: Minnesotta 21, Green Bay 20
