NFL Week 10: Picks, predictions and more
Los Angeles Chargers at Jacksonville Jaguars (-3.5)
Vegas doesn’t believe in the Jaguars (5-3), who are only favored at home by 3.5 points against the Chargers (3-5). Jacksonville is the better team, though, provided Blake Bortles doesn’t go rogue and turn back into an interception machine.
Pick: Jacksonville 22, Los Angeles 20
Minnesota Vikings (-1) at Washington Redskins
This is going to be a fantastic game. The Redskins (4-4) saved their season with a win in Seattle, while the Vikings (6-2) know that Teddy Bridgewater comes back soon. In this one, Washington has the better quarterback and is more desperate.
Pick: Washington 24, Minnesota 21
New York Jets (-2.5) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
No Jameis Winston and Mike Evans for the Buccaneers (2-6). My God, the Jets (4-5) are going to stay in the AFC wild card race.
Pick: New York 21, Tampa Bay 19
New Orleans Saints (-3) at Buffalo Bills
This could be the best game of the weekend. The Bills (5-3) are needing to bounce back after a bad loss to the Jets, while the Saints (6-2) have to keep pace in a brutally tough NFC (and NFC South). New Orleans is the better team with the better quarterback.
Pick: New Orleans 27, Buffalo 20
Pittsburgh Steelers (-10) at Indianapolis Colts
Every fiber of my being tells me to take the Colts (3-6) in an upset. The Steelers (6-2) should win by 30 points, but they always play down to competition and they’re notorious for horrible road losses. Don’t be surprised if Pittsburgh needs to win this late.
Pick: Pittsburgh 23, Indianapolis 17
