Week 10 Picks

Week ten. Half way point. Now is where you can start to filter out the pretenders from the contenders. This is where I believe I have an edge over the coin. I know that the lowly Lions are going up against the powerful Vikings. Or the once "Greatest Show on Turf" faces the team that could adopt that title for the 09 season. This is the best intro I could come up with. Every other one I had was garbage or just rambling. I used my intro on the results post from last weeks games. So how about we get past this awkward intro and get right into the picks.

There were some tough games to pick this week. Once you get passed the few easy ones; Minnesota/Detroit, New Orleans/St Louis, Baltimore/Cleveland; it's a little tough to pick. A lot of middle of the road teams playing each other. Pretenders are Contenders aren't separated quite yet so a handful of teams have questions. Also some bottom of the barrel teams playing this week. For me, this is the week where the Cardinals got to prove they are the best team in the NFC West again. The Jets are going to be exposed as just another pretender. The "Sanchize" doesn't seem to play well in cold weather yet. He played his college career in always sunny and warm California. And even after the terribly disappointing game last week, I have a good feeling this week about the Packers. Even though I didn't pick them, hey it's a competition and maybe if they were given a little more in the spread I would take them, I think the pack could upset big D.

Ok so it looked like the coin matched me on a lot of my picks. The only ones we really had different were the supposedly "blow outs" I'm calling. The coin picked Detroit, St Louis, and Green Bay all to upset this weekend. Who knows though. In the words of Chris Burman, "That's Why They Play the Game". No win is ever a gimme. Few weeks ago, the Raiders beat the Eagles.
