Our week 10 NFL picks VS the spread
Headed into week 10 Colin trails Reidy by two games in their annual pick-off. Our week 10 picks VS the spread after the jump. Call your illegal bookie.
Atlanta VS Baltimore (+1)
Two very similar teams meet on Thursday night. One represents the
AFC, the other the NFL. Each is a Superbowl contender. This is what
football is all about. This should be a defensive showcase but keep
and eye on Roddy White and Ray Rice as well.
Colin’s pick: Atlanta -1 Reidy’s pick: Atlanta -1
Indianapolis VS Cincinnati (+7)
Terrell Owens, AKA Batman, has thrived in Cincy, all but obscuring
Chad Johnson / Ochocinco. Carson Palmer anyway. Payton manning
doesn’t. He’s on an MVP pace once again despite throwing balls to
former nobodies like TE Jacob Tamme who has emerged as a top player at
his position. Should be a light show in Indy.
Colin’s pick: Indianapolis -7 Reidy’s pick: Indianapolis -7
Jacksonville VS Houston (+1.5)
What kind of line is 1.5? The AFC South is anybody’s division for the
taking right now; although, Tennessee might have set the tempo by
signing Randy Moss. Jax and Houston will struggle to keep pace. The
loser of this game might be sucking wind. David Garrard is playing
out of his mind. The Texans secondary is among the worst in the NFL.
Colin’s pick: Jacksonville -1.5 Reidy’s pick: Houston +1.5
Tennessee @ Miami (+1.5)
Another game with a 1.5 line. Ugh. The Titans bring their shiny new
toy, Randy Moss to Miami where “Hanging” Chad Henne has been benched
in favor of some fool the Jets kicked to the curb.
Maybe Pennington can get some production out of Brandon Marshall.
Speaking of being kicked to the curb…
Colin’s pick: Tennessee -1.5 Reidy’s pick: Tennessee -1.5
Minnesota @ Chicago (+1)
People say that Jay Cutler looks like Brett Favre when he plays. Who
can argue with that? They are both masters when it comes to tossing
the rock to the guys on the other team. This is a big divisional
match up. Minny needs wins and they need ’em now. If their pass rush
can get to J Cutty they will get one this week.
Colin’s pick: Minnesota -1 Reidy’s pick: Minnesota -1
Buffalo VS Detroit (+3)
The Bills are the best winless team in the NFL. The Lions are born
losers. Matt Stafford is probably done for the season with a bum
shoulder. The good news is that Shaun Hill has shown that he can get
the ball to Megatron which is all that really matters. Still, Detroit
is a dog to an 0-8 team – that’s embarrassing.
Colin’s pick: Buffalo -3 Reidy’s pick: Buffalo -3
NY Jets @ Cleveland (+3)
Peyton Hillis is a superstar – just what the doctor ordered for
Cleveland in the wake of “the Decision”. This week he’ll face his
biggest test in the testy Jets defense – run stoppers all. The Browns
play in a brutal division; otherwise they would be a playoff team. As
it stands they are a home “Dawg”.
Colin’s pick: Cleveland +3 Reidy’s pick: Jets -3
Tampa Bay VS Carolina (+6.5)
How can Tampa not be at LEAST a touchdown favorite against a team as
bad as Carolina? Matt Moore is on I.R.. The Panthers are even worse
than the Broncos.
Colin’s pick: Tampa -6.5 Reidy’s pick: Tampa -6.5
Kansas City @ Denver (+1)
Yes, Broncos fans, this is what it has come to. We’re underdogs at
home to the fucking Chiefs. Guh.
Colin’s pick: Denver +1 Reidy’s pick: KC -1
San Francisco VS St Louis (+6)
The Rammies could very well win the terrible NFC West. If the Niners
cough this one up at home and coming off the bye they are done.
Colin’s pick: St. Louis +6 Reidy’s pick: St. Louis +6
Arizona VS Seattle (+3)
The Cardinals host a Seattle team that is far better at home than on
the road. Matt Hasselbeck will start for the Seahawks which is great
news for their fans. Both of these teams look to keep their hopes of
being eliminated in week one of the playoffs intact.
Colin’s pick: Arizona -3 Reidy’s pick: Arizona -3
NY Giants VS Dallas (+14)
Wade is gone but the mediocrity remains in Little D. The ‘Girls
travel to NY to face the biggest, baddest bunch of mean motherfuckers
in the NFC. The Giants kill QB’s for a living. It was nice knowing
you, John Kitna.
Colin’s pick: Dallas +14 Reidy’s pick: NY Giants -14
Pittsburgh VS New England (+4.5)
The Pats looked more like Patsies last week when Peyton Hillis took
their defense to school. This week they head to Pennsylvania to face
a real AFC North team.
Colin’s pick: Pittsburgh -4.5 Reidy’s pick: Pittsburgh -4.5
Philadelphia @ Washington (+3)
Who’s the highest rated QB in the NFL? Hint: he killed a bunch of
dogs. That’s right..it’s prisoner # 33765-183. He takes his Iggles
into Washington on Monday night to face Mike Shanahan’s Redskins and
whichever QB they decide has the endurance to play.
Colin’s pick: Washington +3 Reidy’s pick: Philadelphia -3
