Football Showdown: Week 10 Picks and Predictions

Last week's straight-up picks were spot on, but against the spread, it was a different story. With a record of 14-1 straight-up and 8-7 against the spread, let's dive into Week 10's games. Some notable matchups include Bengals vs. Ravens and Giants vs. Panthers in Germany. For Bengals at Ravens (-6), the stakes are high for Cincinnati's playoff hopes. Both teams can score, but the Ravens will edge out a win in a close game. Look for a high-scoring affair with the Ravens winning 34-33. In Germany, the Giants (-6) are favored against the Panthers, who just won a game despite being dominated. The Giants should secure a win, 21-14. The Patriots face a tough Bears (-6) defense. Drake Maye struggled with turnovers last week, and the Bears' defense will capitalize. Expect a 27-16 win for the Bears. Meanwhile, in the battle of the rookies, the Bills should stay hot against the Colts, winning 30-17. The Vikings are also favored against the Jaguars (-4), who are dealing with injuries. Justin Jefferson could have a big game as the Vikings take it 31-23.The Chiefs aim to stay undefeated against the Broncos. With Kansas City on a short week, this could be challenging. However, the Chiefs' defense should outplay the Broncos' offense, leading to a 29-17 win for Kansas City. Atlanta faces New Orleans without their coach, but the Falcons are favored (-3. 5) and should win 30-17. The 49ers are healthier after their bye and should beat the Bucs 28-20. The Commanders (-3) face the Steelers in Pittsburgh's first road start with Russell Wilson. Jayden Daniels might outplay Wilson, leading to a 23-17 win for the Commanders. The Titans face a tough road game against the Chargers (-7. 5), who should win 28-17. The Jets visit the Cardinals and might continue their winning streak, beating the Cardinals 24-21. The Eagles (-7. 5) face the Cowboys, and Saquon Barkley could have a field day against their poor run defense. The Eagles should win 24-21, but the Cowboys will keep it close. In Sunday night's game, the Texans might upset the Lions (-3. 5) in a close 28-27 game. Finally, the Rams should beat the Dolphins 31-23 on Monday night.
