Continue reading →: Oakland Raiders: 2013 Week 10 NFL Power Rankings (#29)
Last week: 29 (+0) Record: 3-5 The wheels kind of fell off of this scrappy Raider team’s season last week as they allowed an NFL record tying 7 passing touchdowns to Nick Foles in a 49-20 loss. They are moving the chains at a mere 68% rate, as opposed to…

Last week: 30 (+0) Record: 2-7 In his last two games, Christian Ponder has completed 42 of 58 for 410 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions. However, you have to remember he was facing two defenses in Dallas and Washington that are among the worst in the NFL and he…

Last week: 31 (+0) Record: 0-8 The Buccaneers’ near win in Seattle last week just reinforces how difficult football is to predict and how ridiculous it is to suggest that any team is going to go winless (or undefeated) with half a season left to play. Winless teams can be…

Detroit Lions (5-3) at Chicago Bears (5-3) The Bears are 5-3, but they aren’t as good as their record. Their wins came at home by 3 over Cincinnati, who isn’t a very good road team (loss in Cleveland, Miami, almost in Buffalo), at home by 1 over Minnesota, who isn’t…

Continue reading →: Buffalo Bills at Pittsburgh Steelers: 2013 Week 10 NFL Pick
Buffalo Bills (3-5) at Pittsburgh Steelers (2-6) The Steelers are one team that I don’t really have a beat on. Their offense has been massively improved since the bye, but their aging defense seems to be heading in the opposite direction. Any time you allow 55 points, even to the…

Continue reading →: Philadelphia Eagles at Green Bay Packers: 2013 Week 10 NFL Pick
Philadelphia Eagles (4-5) at Green Bay Packers (5-3) Trends wise, the Eagles have the advantage here. The Packers will probably be non-divisional road favorites in New York last week and face the Giants and they are non-divisional home favorites this week. Teams are 61-85 ATS in that spot since 2002.…

Continue reading →: St. Louis Rams at Indianapolis Colts: 2013 Week 10 NFL Pick
St. Louis Rams (3-6) at Indianapolis Colts (6-2) On paper, this line might be a little bit too high. The Colts are moving the chains at a 79% rate, as opposed to 75% for their opponents. Meanwhile, the Rams are moving the chains at a 72% rate, as opposed to…

Continue reading →: Seattle Seahawks at Atlanta Falcons: 2013 Week 10 NFL Pick
Seattle Seahawks (7-1) at Atlanta Falcons (2-6) I wish I had gotten this line when it was at Atlanta +6 or higher. Despite all of the action being on Seattle, the line is dropping significantly from +6.5 at some places to now +5 at some places. It’s obvious that this…

Continue reading →: Houston Texans at Arizona Cardinals: 2013 Week 10 NFL Pick
Houston Texans (2-6) at Arizona Cardinals (4-4) The Texans have lost each of the past two games, but the good news is that they might have found their quarterback of the future. Case Keenum has completed 35 of 59 for 621 yards and 4 touchdowns in 2 games. The Texans…
