NFL Week Ten Picks
Last week's 2-2, -0.2 units result feels like victory compared to my recent performance. Now 20-30, -9.8 units for the season, I'll have to take some big swings, starting this week.
Miami at Detroit under 44 points: These are two of the three best defenses in the league, in terms of points allowed. This total should be more like 40.
New Orleans -5 vs. San Francisco: The Saints are just too good at home, and the 49ers are on the verge of a tailspin that will send their coach to the University of Michigan.
Pittsburgh -3.5 at New York Jets: This line makes no sense, which should make me nervous. The fact that it doesn't should make you nervous. Nevertheless, that's the pick.
Lastly, a round-robin of three-team, six-point teasers. I'll take all four three-team combinations of the following four games.
Dallas -1.5 "at" Jacksonville (game in London)
Miami +8.5 at Detroit
Buffalo +7.5 vs. Kansas City
Tampa Bay +8.5 vs. Atlanta
