NFL: Week 10 Picks

By -
Last week was a good week for us here at That's Sports.  We correctly picked 12/14 games.  The two losses came at the hands of the Panthers knocking off the Redskins on the road and the Saints defeating the Eagles last night at the Superdome.  The marquee matchup this week is the Houston Texans at Soldier Field taking on 'Da Bears in the Sunday nighter.

The underlined bold pick of the week is only bold because of how much the Eagles are struggling to put points up on the board.  Having said that, the Cowboys are playing very mediocre as well.  To put it another way, I don't trust the Eagles right now but I trust the Cowboys even less.

Before we get too excited about our week last week, we are reminded of how incredibly difficult it is to predict outcomes in the NFL.  This attests to the massive market the NFL has in Vegas.

However, let's see if this momentum can continue into Week 10.  Here are our picks...


Indianapolis Colts* over Jacksonville Jaguars (Thursday nighter)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers over San Diego Chargers
Miami Dolphins over Tennessee Titans
New England Patriots over Buffalo Bills
Baltimore Ravens over Oakland Raiders
Denver Broncos* over Carolina Panthers
New York Giants* over Cincinnati Bengals
Detroit Lions* over Minnesota Vikings
Atlanta Falcons* over New Orleans Saints
Seattle Seahawks over New York Jets
Philadelphia Eagles over Dallas Cowboys
San Francisco 49ers over St. Louis Rams
Houston Texans* over Chicago Bears (Sunday nighter)
Pittsburgh Steelers over Kansas City Chiefs (Monday nighter)

 - * indicates road team picked
- 6/7 correct road picks last week
- 6/14 road teams picked this week
- _____ indicates bold pick (under the circumstances)

Byes: Cardinals, Browns, Packers, Redskins


Enjoys the games folks!

Growing up I was absolutely enamored with the game of baseball. In my humble opinion, baseball stands alone atop the Mount Rushmore of North American sports in its ability to be romanticized. If you remember the  leitmotif of the movie, "Moneyball", was "It's hard to not be romantic about baseball." It's tough to find a line in a film that resonates so much with reality, at least as I see it. What other game can you watch someone try and be perfect for 27 outs and roughly 130 excruciating pitches? What other game can you watch someone lose their mind over an incident involving the length of pine tar applied to a bat? What other game can you get 'beaned', watch the pitcher 'balk', take your base, avoid being picked off by a sly pickoff move, and jump out of the way of your teammate's line drive all in a matter of a minute? Or, to think of even what happened this week in baseball, Mookie Betts took a homerun away by a matter of inches wi...

Arozarena And His Rays

If you somehow missed out on watching Game 4 of the 2020 World Series, I must tell you that you missed an all-time classic. There were a plethora of lead changes, momentum swings, and no shortage of heroes. Even though the hometown boy Brett Phillips delivered the game-winning hit in the bottom of the 9th, Randy Arozarena continues to be the backbone of this incredible Tampa Bay Rays baseball club. So who is this phenom of a baseball player? I need to be upfront about how I haven't followed this baseball season as closely as normal because my Boston Red Sox's management decided to punt on the season by trotting out a rotation of minor league pitchers. This means that Randy Arozarena was unfamiliar to me until this postseason. Now I can decisively state that Arozarena   is one remarkable hitter of the baseball! Arozarena began his career with the St. Louis Cardinals in 2019. He only appeared in 19 games and so he's still considered a rookie in 2020. Even though the sample s...
