Week 10 Picks

Standings through Week 9
Joe: 68-57 (.544)
Mike: 63-62 (.504)

Baltimore +1 at Atlanta
Mike: ATL. This makes it even easier to root against the Turkey Vultures.
Joe: ATL. Its the first Thursday night game of the season which means one thing, hours and hours of coverage. Sure its a pretty good matchup but there really isn't anything worth discussing for that long. Two things I have noticed so far, Herm Edwards hair turned really gray, really fast and the Dancing with the Stars set must be next door to NFL Network set judging how quickly Kurt Warner arrived after his dismissal as a dancer. I'm going with Atlanta tonight because Matt Ryan is my fantasy QB and because of the memory of Deion Sanders. I can really see any result taking place but I'm going against the AFC North team just to bring the Browns a little closer to the top.
Final - Atl by 5 (J1-0,M1-0)

Cin +7 at IND
Mike: IND.
Jim Caldwell: "Hey! Hello in there! Hey! What's so important? What you got here that's worth living for?"
The Colts: "T-o-b-l-a-v-e..."
The Bengals: "They distinctly said To Lose"
Jim Caldwell: "Liar! Liar! Playoffs! They distinctly said Playoffs!"
Joe: IND
Final - Ind by 6 (J1-1,M1-1) Who wants to coach the Bengals next year??? It won't be Marvin Lewis.

Hou +1.5 @ JAX
Mike: HOU. Garrard will return to being David Garrard.
Joe: HOU
Final - Jax by 7 (J1-2,M1-2) Holy Hail Mary, The Law of Gus strikes again. Even better than the final play was the call of the play.

Ten -1 at MIA
Mike: MIA. With Vince out, the Dolphins have a chance.
Joe: TEN
Final - Mia by 12 (J1-3,M2-2) Oh that's why no one wants Randy Moss.

MIN -1 at CHI
Mike: MIN. Favre still has something left in the tank for a final playoff push.
Joe: MIN.
Final - Chi by 14 (J1-4,M2-3) Correction, the tank is empty.

Det +3 at BUF
Mike: DET. This might be Buffalo's last chance at a win.
Joe: BUF.
Final - Buf by 2 (J1-5,M3-3) Last second TD blows my cover, thanks Bills for losing while winning.

NYJ -3 at CLE
Mike: NYJ. When I pick against the Browns, Cleveland wins. You really want me to start picking the Browns?
Joe: CLE
Final - NYJ by 6 (J1-6,M4-3) Last second TD by blown coverage, thanks Browns for losing when you should have won.

Car +7 at TB
Mike: CAR. I'm not a Jimmy Claussen fan but I think he'll help cover the spread here.
Joe: TB.
Final - TB by 15 (J2-6,M4-4) No one should be a Jimmy fan.

KC -1 @ DEN
Mike: KC. Rooting for Josh McDaniels to turn the team around so that the Browns can beat them in the AFC Championship in 2012.
Joe: DEN.
Final - Den by 20 (J3-6,M4-5) Todd Haley is an ass, tell your team to stop somebody.

StL +6 at SF
Mike: SF. In the battle of Troy Smith vs Sam Bradford, I'll go with the Buckeye.
Joe: SF.
Final - SF by 3 (J3-7,M4-6) SF probably will win the division at 7-9. Can we move the Browns out west??? Oh wait, too soon to say 'Browns' and 'move' in the same sentence.

Sea +3 at AZ
Mike: AZ. Matt Hasselbeck ends the abrupt Charlie Whitehurst era but it won't be enough to knock down a lights out Derek Anderson. Yes. Believe it.
Joe: AZ.
Final - Sea by 18 (J3-8,M4-7) Mike should be slapped for what he wrote in this pick.

Dal +13.5 at NYG
Mike: DAL. The running game will be back in focus as the Cowboys avoid embarrassment.
Joe: DAL.
Final - Dal by 13 (J4-8,M5-7) Guess we saw this one coming.

NE +4.5 @ PIT
Mike: PIT. The Patriots are down and out but need a big win. Aw, I gotta put on my bettor's hat and go with the home team. That hurts.
Joe: NE.
Final - NE by 13 (J5-8,M5-8) Let's go ahead and slap Mike again for picking Pittsburgh.

Phi -3 @ WASH
Mike: PHI. Donovan McNabb might get benched even sooner on Monday Night.
Joe: PHI.
Final - Phi by 31 (J6-8,M6-8) Let's take away the amazing 1st quarter and Philly still wins by 3. Vick had perhaps statistically the best QB performance in NFL history. Wrap your head around 20/28 333yds 4 TDs, 8 car 80 yds 2 TDs, and the prettiest 65 yards in the air on the money pass you might ever see. And McNabb played too.

Week 10 Standings
Joe - 74-65
Mike - 69-70
