NFL 2021 Week 10

 Wow, I'm really picking a lot of home teams this week.  Let's see if home field advantage starts to develop.

Thursday night

Baltimore Ravens at Miami Dolphins : There are only four games where I am picking the visiting team, and this is one of them.  Ironically, nearly all of the visiting teams are likely to completely dominate their opponent, and this is one of those games.  The Ravens just have too many powerful teams for a floundering team like Miami to overcome.  RAVENS, 27-13

Sunday early games

Atlanta Falcons at Dallas Cowboys : The Cowboys want to rebound from last week's shocker, and they should get a chance here.  The Falcons have a nasty tendency of making costly mistakes with the ball.  Do that against the Cowboys and they'll make you pay.  COWBOYS, 30-20

Buffalo Bills at New York Jets : The Bills offense was completely shut down last week, but that won't happen this week.  BILLS, 31-16

Cleveland Browns at New England Patriots : This game could really go either way.  The Browns have a good defense, while the Patriots offense has surged recently.  Which unit will prove superior?  I'll keep the home picks coming, but really this game is a toss-up.  PATRIOTS, 20-17

Detroit Lions at Pittsburgh Steelers : Another tough loss for the Lions, who just can't put together three decent quarters in a row.  STEELERS, 27-17

Jacksonville Jaguars at Indianapolis Colts : The Jags defense came up big last week, but I think that was a fluke, and not the start of a trend.  In other words, I'll believe it if I see it again.  COLTS, 24-13

New Orleans Saints at Tennessee Titans : The Titans might be the hottest team right now, and the Saints are a bit too inconsistent for my taste.  TITANS, 24-17

Tampa Bay Bucs at Washington : Both teams come off a bye.  I don't think the extra week will help Washington's preparation, and the Bucs certainly didn't need an extra week to prepare for Washington.  BUCS

Sunday late games

Carolina Panthers at Arizona Cardinals : The situation in Carolina is so dire, they are considering bringing back the quarterback they ran out of town.  Too much mayhem for them to concentrate on the action on the field.  CARDINALS, 31-16

 Minnesota Vikings at Los Angeles Chargers :  Ooh, another close match-up.  By record, this would seem to be an easy game for the Chargers, but they struggle too much. Their defense has also been a bit sketchy recently, and Kurt Cousins and the Vikings have been producing some strong numbers recently.  I'll go with the Chargers, because they always love to do well if I pick against them, but I think Minnesota has a real chance here.  CHARGERS, 27-24

Philadelphia Eagles at Denver Broncos : Look who has their mojo back!  The Broncos are becoming a real force, certainly a force too strong for Philly to manage.  BRONCOS, 26-20

Seattle Seahawks at Green Bay Packers : We don't know if Rodgers will play, and Jordan Love doesn't quite have the field sense yet to succeed.  If this game were played in Seattle I'd pick Seattle in a heartbeat, but the Seahawks do not travel well.  PACK, 20-17

Sunday night

Kansas City Chiefs at Las Vegas Raiders : The Chiefs are still playing confused, and no team can make you more confused than the Raiders.  RAIDERS, 27-23

Monday Night Football

Los Angeles Rams at San Francisco 49ers : We start the week with a strong performance by a visiting team, and we will end the week with a strong performance by a visiting team.  RAMS, 24-17
