Picking NFL Week 10

Falcons at Panthers: Upset of the Week: The Panthers winning this game wouldn't be a total shocker, but the Falcons are putting another steady playoff campaign together. Atlanta beat Carolina by 8 when they played earlier this year, but I just have a feeling that Jake Delhomme is settling down and the Panthers are heating up. Panthers.

Lions at Vikings: The Vikings just have far too much talent to lose to the Lions. Adrian Peterson will break a couple big runs and Matthew Stafford will struggle against Minnesota's pass rush. Vikings.

Buccaneers at Dolphins: Aside from their two shootout wins against the Jets, the Dolphins have only beaten the hapless Bills this year. Look for that to change Sunday, as Josh Freeman struggles in his second NFL start. Dolphins.

Bills at Titans: The offensive duo of Chris Johnson, perhaps the best running back in the league, and the revitalized Vince Young has looked awfully good the last two weeks. The Titans weakness is on the defensive side of the ball, something the Bills, whether or not Terrell Owens suits up to play, don't have the weapons to exploit. Titans.

Broncos at Redskins: Josh McDaniels will be glad the Redskins showed up on the Broncos schedule after two tough losses against the Ravens and Steelers. Against those two elite defenses, Kyle Orton displayed some of his limitations as a quarterback Denver fans were worried about when he stepped in for Jay Cutler. Although the Redskins D is pretty good, they won't put up enough points to beat the Broncos in this one. Broncos.

Jaguars at Jets: The Jets are coming off a bye and really need to get their season back on track at the Meadowlands. The Jags have been so-so and haven't beaten anyone good yet. Jets.

Bengals at Steelers: The first marquee match up of the weekend. I'm loathed to pick against the Bengals after they proved me wrong by beating the Ravens last week, but against the Broncos on Monday night, the Steelers looked to be nearing their Superbowl winning form of last winter. Moreover the Bengals are going to have to lose a divisional game at some point, aren't they? Steelers.

Saints at Rams: Best team in football against one of the worst the NFL has to offer. Four words: Drew Brees all day. Saints.

Chiefs at Raiders: Well, the Raiders beat the Chiefs earlier this year with JaMarcus Russell completing only 7 of 24 passes, and the running game gaining only 67 rushing yards. Yet the Chiefs were the better team on the day but committed a bucket load mistakes. I know who won't be winning on Sunday? The viewer. I'll go for the Chiefs getting some revenge in Oakland. Chiefs.

Eagles at Chargers: I won't over think this one. Eagles beat the Giants by 23 two weeks ago, Chargers beat the Giants by 1 last week. Eagles.

Seahawks at Cardinals: The Cardinals are so hot and cold, hot being when they travel, cold when they play at home. But Seattle really labored to get back into that game with Detroit, while Arizona was dicing the Bears in Chicago. The Cards have to start winning at home at some point, right? Cardinals.

Cowboys at Packers: The pressure the Cowboys got on Donovan McNabb last week was impressive, and the Packers offensive line has struggled to protect Aaron Rodgers all year. So while I'm tempted to pick Green Bay, despite Dallas' hot streak, simply because the NFL is so unpredictable sometimes, I can't quite overlook this blatant mismatch. Cowboys.

Patriots at Colts: Marquee match up number 2. When these two teams play each, it is probably still the most anticipated date on the NFL calendar, especially with Tom Brady back. Some of the games the Colts and Patriots have served up in the last few years have been simply been riveting. Expect Sunday to be no different. Manning and Brady will both be on their games, but I think Indiannapolis' injuries on D will finally catch up with them. Patriots.

Ravens at Browns: With the state the Browns are in right now both on and off the field, apart from diehard fans, does anyone really watch them play? And yet here they are on Monday Night Football for what may well be their last appearance for while. ESPN must be licking their chops at the prospect. Ravens.
