NFL Expert Free Picks Week 10

Thursday
Chicago Bears +3 (-105)
Total 43
San Francisco 49ers -3 (-115)
In the first Thursday NFL game since the season opener, the Bears take on the 49ers in a battle of two teams desperate for a win. The Bears are the better team but they lack the mental discipline to put it all together. After a couple bad losses Singletary has the 49ers ready for another win.
Sportsbook Veteran NFL Free Pick: San Francisco

Jacksonville Jaguars +7
Total 40½
New York Jets -7
The Jags will rely on Maurice Jones-Drew to carry them against the Jets in New York. QB David Gerrard has been unable to do anything on the road this season, no TDs and 2 interceptions. The Jets defense will be ready and that will be the difference in this one.
Sportsbook Veteran NFL Free Pick: New York

Denver Broncos -3½
Total 37
Washington Redskins +3½
After two tough defeats Denver will get a reprieve from competitive football as they play the Redskins. The Broncos will win this going away.
Sportsbook Veteran NFL Free Pick: Denver

Cincinnati Bengals +7
Total 41½
Pittsburgh Steelers -7
In their first game the Steelers collapsed or the Bengals fought back, describe it how you want but Cincinnati used a last minute TD to shock Pittsburgh earlier this season. This is a much different Steeler team than the one the Bengals met in Cincinnati, the defense is back, Big Ben is pushing for an MVP and Rashard Mendenhall has snatched the starting job from Willie Parker. Cincy has been playing great lately but it will take more than great to beat these Steelers.
Sportsbook Veteran NFL Free Pick: Pittsburgh

Buffalo Bills +7 (-115)
Total 41
Tennessee Titans -7 (-105)
The Titans are on a roll winning 2 straight, Chris Johnson is the most dominant running back in the league right now. The Bills cornerbacks will limit the Titans passing game but they won’t have an answer for Johnson on the ground.
Sportsbook Veteran NFL Free Pick: Tennessee

Detroit Lions +17 (-115)
Total 47
Minnesota Vikings -17 (-105)
17 points is too many points to give up, Minnesota will win the game but with Calvin Johnson and Matt Stafford both healthy the Lions should keep it within two touchdowns.
Sportsbook Veteran NFL Free Pick: Detroit

New Orleans Saints -14 (-105)
Total 50
St. Louis Rams +14 (-115)
The Saints have fallen behind early in their previous 3 games, it has raised questions about their ability to maintain this torrid pace for the entire season. I don’t think those questions are warranted yet. But if they trail at any point to the Rams you can ask all the questions you want about their focus.
Sportsbook Veteran NFL Free Pick: New Orleans

Atlanta Falcons -2
Total 43½
Carolina Panthers +2
In a meeting of the Saints last two victims, Carolina hosts the Falcons in a NFC South divisional battle. I want to say the Falcons will run away with this game but Carolina has been running the ball very well lately, returning to the formula that worked so well last season.
Sportsbook Veteran NFL Free Pick: Carolina

Tampa Bay Buccaneers +10 (-105)
Total 44
Miami Dolphins -10 (-115)
The Bucs beat a much stronger team than the Dolphins last week as they upset the Packers. Rookie Josh Freeman was able to throw 3 TDs against a better defense than the Dolphins. This game is going over the total so load up. 10 points is too many to give up by the Dolphins.
Sportsbook Veteran NFL Free Pick: Tampa Bay

Kansas City Chiefs +2
Total 36½
Oakland Raiders -2
In a game no one outside of KC or Oakland will watch the Chiefs will get revenge for their loss to that Raiders earlier in the season.

Seattle Seahawks +9
Total 47
Arizona Cardinals -9
The Cards have been killer on the road this season but so-so when playing at home. If Hasselbeck is healthy, the Seahawks can keep it with in a TD but if he’s not the Cards will run away with it.
Sportsbook Veteran NFL Free Pick: Arizona

Philadelphia Eagles +3 (-125)
No Total
San Diego Chargers -3 (+105)
The Chargers have shaken off another slow start and now are only a game behind to the division leading Broncos. The lost a close one to the Cowboys in week 9. Both need this win badly but I think the Eagles will play with more desperation.
Sportsbook Veteran NFL Free Pick: Philadelphia

Dallas Cowboys -3 (-105)
Total 47½
Green Bay Packers +3 (-115)
Aaron Rodgers = Road Kill. Until the Packers can plug the holes in their offensive line, they will be at a disadvantage all season long.
Sportsbook Veteran NFL Free Pick: Dallas

New England Patriots +3 (-125)
Total 50
Indianapolis Colts -3 (+105)
In the most hyped up game of the season, actually, it’s been the most hyped up game each of the past 5 seasons, it’s the Colts vs. Patriots, Tom vs. Peyton. I think Bob Sanders on the IR will make the difference in this one. It will be a close game but the Patriots win.
Sportsbook Veteran NFL Free Pick: New England

Baltimore Ravens -11 (-105)
Total 40
Cleveland Browns +11 (-115)
In a dog of a Monday night game, the Ravens will win and win easily.
Sportsbook Veteran NFL Free Pick: Baltimore
