Week 10 Picks

After a long night of drinking and a couple cups of coffee, I am ready to take on week 10. There are a few games that light up, obviously starting with the Patriots at Colts, Bengals at Steelers, and the Eagles at Chargers.

Patriots 34 Colts 24
This is going to be a shootout. The Colts will be putting rookie corner Jacob Lacey on Randy Moss. The Colts will obviously be helping him out on defense, so that should open up some options. Look for big days from Wes Welker and Lawrence Maroney. Watch for the Patriots to be running the ball on 3rd downs and short, which will keep the young Colts defense honest, but Tom Brady will open it up and win this game on the road.
Bengals 13 Steelers 20
 This is going to be a good game to watch. Both teams hate each other and the Bengals have looked as good as they ever have. The Steelers stout run defense is going to stop Cedric Benson which opens up only a few quality options for Carson Palmer. If the Bengals are throwing the ball and Benson is ineffective, Troy Polamalu will have a great day for the Steelers.
Eagles 31 Chargers 34
Look for both defenses to let up today. These teams don't play great defense against good offensive teams. The key to this one is special teams. Both teams have dynamic special teams that can turn into instant offense. Watch for good special teams to set up good field position for both offenses to be able to put up points.
