NFL Week 10 Picks

Loren and I picked 4 games differently last week ang thanks to 2 overtime come from behind wins he now leads me by 3.

Houston at Jacksonville

Derek - Houston. I think Houstons offense is that much better than the Jags, Houston has shown me something this year and the Jags havn't.

Loren – Jacksonville. I went over and over this one and finally chose the Jags just because they’re at home. Garrard has looked really good in 3 of his last 4 games and has a very respectable 98.8 passer rating. They are also 7th in the league in rushing. They both have soft Ds but Jacksonville has more momentum.

Cincinnati at Indianapolis

Derek - Indianapolis. Cincinnati is just not a complete team, they don't have one player who can beat you. The Colts are too good to lose this game and won't lose back to back efforts very often.

Loren – Indianapolis. I may have accurately predicted the Colts losing to Philly last week, but I still believe the Colts are an elite team. Any team would need a little time to adjust to new faces in the lineup, and I think the Colts are ready to get back on track. Playing in friendly confines will help.

Tennessee at Miami

Derek - Tennessee. Chris Johnson is going to gash the Fins. We'll see if Pennington can lead the Dolphins to TDs instead of FG, but I don't see that happening often.

Loren – Tennessee. I like Miami on paper, but less so on the field. Miami has a shot if they contain Chris Johnson and make the Titans throw the ball, but I don’t think they’ll be able to do that.

Kansas City at Denver

Derek - Kansas City. The Chiefs need to atone for the terrible game vs. the Raiders last week. I see the Chiefs gaining over 150 on the ground and Cassel taking advantage of a bad defense.

Loren – Denver. The Broncos have had a bye week to get healthy and recover. The Chiefs aren’t going to sneak up on anyone the rest of the season. I’m worried about what Jamaal Charles can do against this defense that let the Raiders run roughshod over them, but the plan of attack for the Broncos D should be shutting him down and double teaming Bowe leaving no options for Cassel.

New England at Pittsburgh

Derek - Pittsburgh. I might take the Pats if they were at home but the Steelers are just too good of a team to lose this one, they can play big.

Loren – Pittsburgh. It’s going to be a long night for the Pats. Pitt’s D got a little scare from the Bengals so I expect they’ll come out with a mind to prove they are the elite D in the league. Brady is already hobbling a bit, wait till he’s knocked on his butt for the eighth time.

Philadelphia at Washington

Derek - Philadelphia. Vick is back and that adds a huge element to the Eagles plans. I don't think Washington is going to be able to keep up.

Loren – Philadelphia. I just don’t think the Redskins have the tools to shut down this offense. Even though they are just a game behind the Eagles for second in the division, these look like two teams headed in opposite directions.
