Week 10 will start Thursday night with an AFC East clash, as the Buffalo Bills will take on the New York Jets in Rex Ryan's highly anticipated return to MetLife Stadium. Looking at the entire slate of games, here are five NFL teams that will definitely lose in Week 10.

5. Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins gave up 266 rushing yards to the Buffalo Bills in Week 9, including 222 yards and three touchdowns to LeSean McCoy and Karlos Williams. The Philadelphia Eagles have a productive running back duo of their own in DeMarco Murray and Ryan Mathews, so Miami's struggles to stop the run may continue and that's not a winning formula for Sunday.

4. Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens have allowed nearly 284 passing yards per game this season, and now they'll face Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles, who has thrown for at least 298 yards in four of his last five games (more than 300 yards three times). A matchup of 2-6 squads is not a mismatch per se, but the Jaguars have what it takes to exploit Baltimore's biggest weakness defensively.

3. Houston Texans

The Texans won two of three games heading into their Week 9 bye, and at 3-5 they are still a contender in the AFC South. But next Monday night, Houston is simply not equipped to win a tough road game and give the Cincinnati Bengals their first loss.

2. Tennessee Titans

Tennessee is on a high after a Week 9 overtime win over the New Orleans Saints, in Mike Mularkey's first game as interim head coach. Another NFC South opponent is coming this week, at home no less, but the Carolina Panthers will be a much stiffer challenge and I don't see the Titans having much success on either side of the ball.

1. Detroit Lions

The Lions are in turmoil at 1-7, with a head coach that will surely be gone after the season and a quarterback that could be dealt during the offseason. In a case of bad timing, they'll get a Green Bay Packers' squad that is returning home on the heels of a two-game losing streak in Week 10. A blowout looks likely on Sunday.
