NFL Week 10 2020: Picks and predictions for every game
7-2. 32. AZ -1.5. 16. CBS. Sunday, Nov. 15. 5-3. 4:05 p.m. ET
It’s moving week in the NFC West. Arizona and Los Angeles are both 5-3. Seattle is 6-2 but taking on the Rams at SoFi Stadium. The Cardinals desperately need a win to stay in the mix and although Buffalo is an excellent team, the urgency and Kyler Murray’s talents should be just enough.
Pick: Arizona 34, Buffalo 30
3-5. LV -4.5. 45. CBS. Sunday, Nov. 15. 5-3. 28. 4:05 p.m. ET
Don’t bet against the Raiders right now. They’ve got quality wins over the Chiefs and Saints, and now face the underwhelming Broncos and a backup-level quarterback in Drew Lock. Las Vegas is making its move towards the playoffs.
Pick: Las Vegas 29, Denver 22
59. MIA -2.5. 5-3. 13. CBS. Sunday, Nov. 15. 4:05 p.m. ET. 2-6
Enough already with the Chargers. The talent is there, Justin Herbert is a stud, but the killer instinct is undetectable. Miami is a winner of four straight, Tua Tagovailoa is intriguing and Brian Flores is Coach of the Year through nine weeks.
Pick: Miami 28, Los Angeles 24
56. 55. 4:25 p.m. ET. PIT -8.5. 2-5-1. FOX. Sunday, Nov. 15. 8-0
I’m incredibly tempted to take the Bengals. Pittsburgh constantly plays down to competition, and Cincinnati has played every game but one tight, including a convincing win over Tennessee. Plus, the Bengals are on the bye week and the Steelers looked awful against the Cowboys.
You know what, I’m going with Cincinnati.
Pick: Cincinnati 26, Pittsburgh 23
FOX. Sunday, Nov. 15. 42. 15. NO -9. 4:25 p.m. ET. 4-5. 6-2
This is going to be destruction. San Francisco has nobody healthy and the Saints, coming off their biggest win of the year, are the healthiest they’ve been. Look for Drew Brees to have an excellent game against a compromised Niners front, while Nick Mullens throws more interceptions.
Pick: New Orleans 33, San Francisco 16
6-2. FOX. 5-3. 4:25 p.m. ET. 51. LAR -1.5. 36. Sunday, Nov. 15
Huge, huge game. Los Angeles is coming off its bye while the Seahawks are fresh off a 44-34 loss to the Bills, in which Russell Wilson committed four turnovers. There’s zero reason to think this isn’t a shootout, and while the Seahawks are slightly better, the Rams are fresh and at home.
Pick: Los Angeles 35, Seattle 34
BAL -7. 8:20 p.m. ET. 3-5. 26. NBC. Sunday, Nov. 15. 47. 6-2
It’s a race to 20 points. Baltimore is clearly the better team and should handle business, although Bill Belichick will have something for Lamar Jackson this time around. Still, Jackson will cause problems with his legs, and Cam Newton won’t win enough with his lack of weaponry.
Pick: Baltimore 20, New England 16
3-5. ESPN. Monday, Nov. 16. 57. 8:15 p.m. ET. 60. 5-4. MIN -2.5
Watching the Bears play offense is slightly less painful than jumping off the roof into a pile of dumbbells. Can’t wait for Monday!
Pick: Chicago 17, Minnesota 14
Last Week: 10-4
Season: 80-37-1
