NFL Week 10 Picks, Score Predictions
Aaron Doster-USA TODAY Sports
After a 10-3 record with my Week 9 picks, I will try and right those few wrongs this time around. Here are my Week 10 picks for the NFL slate.
Cleveland Browns at Cincinnati Bengals

The Browns continue to keep pace thanks to a tough defense in spite of what should be more of a quarterback controversy. Their luck runs out on the road against Cincinnati as the Bengals win, 27-10.
New York Giants at Seattle Seahawks

Seattle has been exposed this season for their lack of offensive weapons after trading away their best receivers. I don’t expect they will struggle with the Giants -- Beast Mode rules at home. I’ll take the Seahawks, 28-14.
St. Louis Rams at Arizona Cardinals

The Rams are not a good football team -- that is, until they play teams in the NFC West. They’ve already taken care of the Seahawks and 49ers, and now they’ll upset the Cardinals. Rams win 17-14 on the road to continue their NFC West domination.
Denver Broncos at Oakland Raiders

Peyton Manning let me down against New England last week, so what could be better than a big bounce-back win against the winless Raiders. This one could get ugly for the Silver and Black, as Manning will be on fire in a 38-10 landslide.
Atlanta Falcons at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Josh McCown is back under center for Lovie Smith and the Buccaneers, but I’m not sure why. In this battle of the bad, I’ll take the Bucs just because the Falcons are a terrible road team. McCown gets the win for Lovie, 28-21.
Pittsburgh Steelers at New York Jets

Big Ben is rolling, but he has to be feeling the after effects of being beaten up by the Ravens’ defense last week. Even if Ben’s jaw is still aching, he’ll take care of the Jets, who are in real trouble. Steelers win, 35-7.
San Francisco 49ers at New Orleans Saints

Nine weeks into the season and this game isn't what we all expected. However, the 49ers are desperate for a win and the Saints need to outpace their pathetic division. That should make for a good game, with the Saints winning at home, 35-24.
Dallas Cowboys vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

Tony Romo made the trip to London, but will he play? And do they even need him? I hope they don’t risk another injury against the lowly Jaguars. DeMarco Murray and Dallas win this one, even without Romo, 31-21.
Miami Dolphins at Detroit Lions

The Lions have righted the ship under Jim Caldwell and benefit this week from the return of Megatron. The Lions have too much receiver talent for the undersized Dolphin defensive backs. I think the Lions score early and often for a one-sided, 42-14 win.
Kansas City Chiefs at Buffalo Bills

The Chiefs are on a roll as of late, winning their last three games. As much as I would like to see the Bills win and at least appear to challenge in the AFC East, I don’t see Kyle Orton beating the Chiefs. Kansas City wins on the road, 28-24.
Tennessee Titans at Baltimore Ravens

Zach Mettenberger will have his hands full in his second start for the Titans. Sorry rookie, but there’s no beating the Ravens at home. I’ll take Flacco and company for a 31-17 victory.
Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers

Both teams are coming off a bye week to prepare for this rivalry game, but it won’t change the result. The Packers crushed the Bears once this season, and I expect the same outcome at Lambeau Field. The Packers will run the Bears ragged -- again -- to the tune of 42-21.
Carolina Panthers at Philadelphia Eagles

I’ll be watching just to see the resurrection of Mark Sanchez. Could the job be his even after Nick Foles returns from injury? I think Sanchez delivers with an impressive 28-24 home win.
