National Sports Blog:
Here are our predictions for week #10. There are some toughies this week as we draw closer to the playoffs. Overall, Seattle Sports Blog continues to dominate in weekly picks with a 79-42 record. Beat that, VEGAS!!!
Baltimore at Tennessee
Tenn has been playing better of late, but with Baltimore at 6-2 and beating everyone up defensively, we see them taking this one. Baltimore 24-10
Buffalo at Indianapolis
This game may actually be closer than one might think. As we all know, going 16-0 in the NFL is nearly impossible and your team is bound to slip at some point. However, we still see Indy pulling this one off, 28-13
Cleveland at Atlanta
We'd love to see Atlanta lay an egg here so Seattle could have home field over them, but Cleveland is playing horrible right now. Atlanta here easily, 34-7
Green Bay at Minnesota
Ah, battle of the Norris division as they say. It's too bad Minn plays in a dome...these games are meant to be played outside. With Global Warming these days, Minn could be like Miami in 20 years, so why not build an outdoor stadium? Apparently there is a retractable roof one going up in a few years, which would be cool. OK, back to the game...we like Farve pulling off an upset here, 34-31.
Houston at Jacksonville
Houston is scrappy, but also crappy. Jax here, 24-20. Garland is a stud of a QB
Kansas City at Miami
This is a tough one to predict this week. Both of these teams have been playing well of late and are coming off big road wins. We like KC's offense just a bit more and see them pulling this off.....21-20
N.Y. Jets at New England
New England got beat up pretty bad by Indy last week, so we like them to beat up the J-E-T-S this week, 28-17
San Diego at Cincinnati
This could be considered the game of the week along with the Hawks game. SD is hot, hot, hot right now, but Cincy really needs a win. Seems like Palmer is still having some struggles with his injury, so we like SD here in a close one, 28-24
San Francisco at DetroitToilet bowl of the week!!!!!!! We love John Kinta at Seattle Sports Blog, so we'll take Detroit 20-17
Washington at Philadelphia
This will also be a great game this week, although Washington is pretty beat up right now with Moss and Portis being Questionable. We like Philly here in a close, low scoring game: 17-14
Denver at Oakland
Oakland is the worst team in the NFL, bottom line. Denver here all the way, 38-14
Dallas at Arizona
OK, we take that back...Arizona is the worst team in the NFL. Dallas also here big, 35-7
New Orleans at Pittsburgh
Pitts is heading to being a toilet bowl team soon. Damn, if only they hadn't paid the refs last year, we would have won the Superbowl. NO here easily (no pun intended!) 21-9
St. Louis at Seattle
GAME OF THE WEEK. Seattle will have their hands full with St. Louis this week, who is coming off an embarrassing loss at home to KC. Seneca will have to play like he did on Monday night and take a few more chances down field. Same with Morris...we need another 100+ yards out of him. Defensively? LB's stop the run, blitz effectively, and don't get beat deep CB's and FS and SS. This will be a hard fought game in which the Hawks will need everyone in the 12th Man to scream like crazy. Hawks here in a close one, 21-17
Chicago at N.Y. Giants
OK, so this might actually be the game of the week. These 2 teams are too evenly matched to make a prediction, so we went with NYG solely based off home field advantage. NYG here in a close one, 34-30
Tampa Bay at Carolina
Carolina needs a win, bottom line. We like them still despite their 4-4 record.....Carolina 24-13
