NFL Football Picks

The Bears looked like a completely different team Sunday, competing against the Denver Broncos. Have they turned their ship around? Or, was Denver just really bad? Get Loot’s Chi/Wash TNF prediction here!

The Seattle Seahawks are 2-1 this season but have looked shaky. The team continues to have injured players create an unstable environment. The Giants have been routed by two of the better teams in the NFL in the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers. A +1.5 point spread tells us the bookies think the Giants are going to win this game straight up. Get Keith’s ATS Sea/NYG pick here!

Week 9 saw the Bears win and the Lions lose. Chicago improved to 5-3 on the season and Detroit goes the opposite way and now sits at 3-5. Chicago and Minnesota are tied for the NFC North division lead with Detroit and Green Bay biting at their heels just a game or so back. It appears that Chicago is the real deal and only seems to get better week after week. As for Detroit, they are just average at best… offense, defense, special teams, they are just…meh. Nonetheless, this weekend is actually a huge game in for the NFC North landscape. It is a tight race and a Detroit win will put THEM back in the hunt.

The Arizona Cardinals come to Arrowhead for a week 10 matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs. It’s a tale of two teams with opposite trajectories, with the Cardinals in the dumps at 2-6, while the Chiefs are tied for having the best record in the league at 8-1. On Sunday, they beat the Browns on the road 37-21. It was also the eighth time they covered the spread in nine games this season. But is that a trend that matters here in week 10 as bettors face a 16.5 hole before kick-off? LL gives his take on laying the big number.

Tampa Bay comes off a 42-28 loss that was grislier than the score indicates. The Panthers put the Bucs away early in the first half when they went up 35-7 and then they called the dogs off. Carolina had a short week ahead of itself with a road game at Pittsburgh on Thursday night. They could not afford to expose their starters any more once the affair was out of reach. Be that as it may, Tampa Bay looks lost and clueless at this point in the season. Keith Franks look at the bookmaker’s 2.5 spread and what to expect from TB in week 10.

Bob Clark: “The Browns are going to have to hope the Falcons defense that showed up against New Orleans and Cincinnati shows up this weekend. If that is the case, they have a shot. From a Browns perspective though, they MUST keep the Atlanta offense off the field. Cleveland will need to give Atlanta a huge dose of Nick Chubb and Duke Johnson and just hope for the best. The Falcons are the play to cover here in week 10.

The Chargers leave a lot to be desired as double-digit road favorites at most bookies. But the matchups hold water. Coming off the bye, the Chargers looked fresh and enlivened to take on the second-half of the season with aplomb. Their run-game is very robust, with Melvin Gordon leading the way, bolstered by Austin Ekeler. They average over 5.2 yards per carry and Oakland’s run-defense is ranked last in the league. Betting the Chargers is the play this week according to NFL capper Loot Levinson.

The Jets defense provided the lone bright spot, holding Miami to 168 total yards, 104 passing and 64 rushing, and keeping them out of the end zone. Credit Jamal Adams and Jordan Jenkins for turning things around after the unit gave up up 395 total yards to the Chicago bears the week before. Now can they get the assist from the offense? Rick Wise has your NFL Prediction.

After losing conclusively to Detroit and Houston in consecutive weeks, the Dolphins were able to beat the Jets at home on Sunday. They did so on the strength of a defensive TD, as the offense didn’t even get in the end zone—no small feat against the Jets’ road-defense. Their defense played well for a change, but it still was far from an impressive win. Now they take to Green Bay in a game that is out-of-conference in a venue a lot of ‘Fins players have never seen. Despite the win and potential momentum, sportsbook have the Dolphins as 9.5 point dogs!

The Saints won their seventh game in a row and handed the Los Angeles Rams their first loss of the season Sunday with a commanding 45-35 victory that establishes New Orleans as the team to beat in the NFC. Despite the win betting site markets suggest this will be a close game with a final inside a touchdown. Rick Wise gives his own NFL prediction.
