NFL Week 10 trends and picks: What bets will decide this weekend’s games?
Seattle Seahawks (6-2) at Los Angeles Rams (5-3), 4:25 pm
Seahawks: The one-dimensional ‘Hawks have lost two of their last three games. And quarterback Russell Wilson has been forced to carry the load. When he doesn’t perform effectively, the team is in trouble. Despite throwing for 1,039 yards and nine scores in his last three outings, Wilson has turned over the ball a combined seven times.
Rams: Sean McVay’s team will play five of its final eight games vs. their divisional rivals, including a pair with both the Seahawks and Cardinals. The Rams have gotten the best of Seattle since quarterback Russell Wilson’s arrival in 2012. In 16 meetings, the team owns a 9-7 mark vs. Pete Carroll’s club and sacked Wilson a combined 61 times.
San Francisco 49ers (4-5) at New Orleans Saints (6-2), 4:25 pm
49ers: It’s been a rough year for Kyle Shanahan’s team as the Niners have already lost two more games than they did in 2019. But it’s interesting to note that the club is 3-1 on the road compared to 1-4 at home. A year ago and with a much different roster, the 49ers went into the superdome and knocked off the Saints, 48-46, in Week 14.
Saints: Sean Payton’s club sent a resounding message to the rest of the conference with last Sunday night’s 35-point manhandling of the Buccaneers. The Saints are riding a five-game winning streak and own a 3-0 record within a division. Can the 49ers’ defense contain Alvin Kamara, who leads the NFL with 1,036 total yards from scrimmage?
