Well, let’s hope Raiders vs. Broncos is the low point of Week 10. It was a historically bad game, and it’s even funnier when you consider the Broncos have the best record (8-2) in the NFL right now. The first team to 8 wins. Just goes to show what this season has been like so far. They’re giving me 2013 Chiefs vibes, but we’ll see if the 2025 Chiefs can play the part of the 2013 Broncos and take their division back.
Anyways, November is home to many of the biggest games this regular season. It’s just that the ones we circled in May when the schedule came out don’t appear to be the biggest ones after all. It really wasn’t true last week for Chiefs vs. Bills, and it’s probably not true in the NFC this week for Packers vs. Eagles. Not after Green Bay lost to Carolina last week and lost Tucker Kraft (ACL) in the process.
Still a big game on Monday night, but with the way the NFC West is shaping up, maybe one of those upcoming Seahawks vs. Rams games is actually the big one to watch. Or maybe it was Eagles vs. Rams, the 19-point comeback, that will decide the No. 1 seed after all. We’ll see.

NFL Week 10 Predictions
I see a good spread record and my natural reaction these days is to go the other way as those guys are supposed to be so good that the record should regress to 50/50. That’s why I ignored that division underdogs were 4-0 ATS on TNF this year as an underdog of 7+ points. But the Raiders covered in one of the ugliest games I’ve ever watched. I had Denver winning by 11. Oh well.
ATL-IND: Not sure how fast Sauce Gardner can get ready for an overseas game with his new team, but slowing down Drake London is exactly what you need to do to beat Atlanta and why you get a player like that if you’re Indy. Again, when Bo Nix and the Broncos are 8-2, I see why Indy is doing what they’re doing. This is probably their best shot in the AFC for the next few years. I think they get right on offense, Jonathan Taylor has a big game, and they win by a touchdown.
JAX-HOU: I think Jags catch a break with Stroud (Concussion) out and win that one.
NYG-CHI: My favorite pick is the over here, or more specifically for both to score 20+. But I think Bears can win a 31-20 type of game.
BAL-MIN: I trust the Baltimore defense again and expect Lamar to play well. Don’t trust McCarthy yet.
CLE-NYJ: Should be an ugly game but if it’s low scoring, Justin Fields always has a chance. Just feels like the typical NFL spot for a team to trade away 2 of its best players and still win, signaling the start of the Shedeur Sanders era next week.
NO-CAR: Since when is Carolina a favorite of 5.5? Well, the Saints aren’t good but I think division games are closer and the Panthers win another tight one.
BUF-MIA: Dolphins had their shot in Buffalo on prime time. This is the 1 PM blowout that gets few eyeballs on it.
NE-TB: Could be a good one but I’m trusting Baker at home. Get Cade Otton (or any TE) a TD.
ARI-SEA: Good chance for Arizona to cover with Jacoby playing well but I think Seattle is peaking right now. Love the Shaheed trade.
SF-LAR: Gotta hedge on McVay vs. Shanahan. The 49ers own him except for one fateful 4th quarter in the 2021 NFC-CG.
DET-WAS: Well known this week that Dan Campbell is 12-0 ATS after his last 12 losses. I like it for 13-0 since the Washington offense is tanking and the defense is bad.
PIT-LAC: Another tough opponent for the Steelers. But I think we see some Chargering and the Joe Alt injury combined with moving Ramsey to safety has me liking the Steelers again.
PHI-GB: Another game impacted by injury. The Packers are beat up at WR and just lost their TE threat. Eagles should be fairly healthy after the bye week and swept this team last year. Think they get past them again after rediscovering Saquon in their last game.
