Regular Season Week 10


There is usually one week in the football season that everything seems to go sideways. I dub that week “Any given Sunday.” The quote goes, “On any given Sunday, any given team can win or lose.” Because of this wonkiness I went 7-7 on my picks this week. Though I did win in fantasy, I am now 5-4. The 49ers are the only undefeated team left going into week 10 and the Bengals are the only team that hasn’t won a game, though they were on their bye this past week so they didn’t lose for the first time this season either.


Here is the recap for week nine.


49ers @ Cardinals 28-25
The 49ers are now the only team to stay perfect through week 9 even though they didn’t score any points in the 4th quarter. Quarterback Jimmy G had 4 touchdowns in this win over the Cardinals. The Cardinals didn’t go down without a fight and clawed their way back into the game in the fourth quarter only to lose by a field goal.

Texans @ Jaguars 26-3I was wrong. I thought the Jags would have the edge being that they are the only team in the NFL to play the London game for the 7th time, while the Texans were making their first trip. Jacksonville looked so bad, on offense and defense, that they made the Texans look really good and shine in their first win across the pond.

Redskins @ Bills 9-24The Bills did indeed bounce back against the Redskins as rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins got his first career start and loss for Washington. The Bills, surprisingly, have only 2 losses this season. Bills fans are just waiting for the bottom to drop out, while the Redskins are just glad that the Nationals won the World Series to take the pressure off them.

Vikings @ Chiefs 23-26It has been said, and still seems true, that when the pressure is on Kirk Cousins folds. Cousins had a lousy day against the Chiefs defense, that has miraculously gotten much better. Matt Moore had a great day for the Chiefs with a lot of help from Tyreek Hill. This game also came down to a field goal as time expired on the clock. Harrison Butker’s kick split the uprights giving the Chiefs 3 more points and the win.

Jets @ Dolphins 18-26This was supposed to be the game that Sam Darnald got his groove back. This was also the game that the Dolphins could actually get their first win of the season. The final score shows you that Darnald did not get his groove back as the Dolphins finally got a win. One of the commentators made a funny joke about Ryan Fitzpatrick, saying that every game he plays in is like a revenge game because he’s played for practically every team. This was indeed a revenge game for Fitzpatrick, and revenge was had. He threw 3 touchdowns against his old defense.

Bears @ Eagles 14-22The Eagles are getting healthier, for the most part, and coming together at the right time. The Bears, on the other hand, continue to struggle and, therefore, lose.

Colts @ Steelers 24-26The Colts fell apart after Jacoby Brissett left the game in the second quarter with a knee injury. Brian Hoyer took over for Brissett and was doing okay until he threw a pick six giving Pittsburgh the lead. Vinatieri had a chance late in the fourth to put the Colts back on top and possibly even win the game until he missed a 43 yard field goal.


Titans @ Panthers 20-30Christian McCaffrey had 3 touchdowns in the Panthers win over the Titans. Tennessee just couldn’t stop McCaffrey or anyone else on the Panthers team. In other Panther news Cameron Newton was placed on IR ending his 2019 season.

Lions @ Raiders 24-31The Lions have lost some really close games this season. Several times they’ve come so close only to lose in the final minutes. The Raiders have really come together as a team after the preseason Hard Knocks and diva AB ridiculousness. Derek Carr had two touchdowns to put the Raiders over the Lions.

Buccaneers @ Seahawks 34-40 OTThis game shouldn’t have been neck in neck the entire time, but it was. Russell Wilson had 5 touchdowns in this win while Tyler Lockett was another shining star for the Seahawks and my fantasy team with 13 receptions, 152 yards and 2 touchdowns. He gave me 41 points and was solely responsible for my win this week.

Browns @ Broncos 19-24The Broncos offense finally came alive as the Browns troubles worsened. Will head coach Freddy Kitchens make it to next season?

Packers @ Chargers 11-26This was definitely one of the “any given Sunday” games. What in the world? I still can’t believe that the Packers lost to the 3-5 Chargers… It’s like the Packers defense forgot how to stop the run. Melvin Gordon scored two touchdowns against them. Chargers kicker, Michael Badgley, was clutch for me in fantasy as he had 4 field goals as well as extra points. A-aron, on the other hand was a big disappointment.

Patriots @ Ravens 20-37Woot Woot Ravens! Way to knock off the Pats. This was a good game to watch. Lamar Jackson was literally unstoppable against the Pats defense, which is really saying something. Baltimore’s defense didn’t let the Pats score in the first or fourth quarter of the game. It was magical.


Cowboys @ NY Giants 37-18I really don’t want to talk about this game. The first half was good. The end.



WEEK 10

Thursday, November 7th

Chargers (4-5) @ Raiders (4-4) [8:20pm FOX/NFLN]This should be a really good and evenly matched game. I am only picking the Raiders to win because they are the home team.


Sunday, November 10th

Lions (3-4-1) @ Bears (3-5) [1pm CBS]I really think that the Lions are going to win this game. I don’t know why. I just have a feeling.


Ravens (6-2) @ Bengals (0-8) [1pm CBS]I don’t think that the Bengals are going to win this game. I’m picking the Ravens for the win.


Bills (6-2) @ Browns (2-6) [1pm CBS]I’m picking the Bills to win this game. Pretty soon Bud Lite is going to have to give away free beer again for a Browns win. Kareem Hunt is slated to play for the Browns after serving an 8 game suspension. I’m not sure if this will help the team or add to the disarray.


Chiefs (6-3) @ Titans (4-5) [1pm CBS]I’m picking the Chiefs to win this game. Patrick Mahomes is supposed to play.

Falcons (1-7) @ Saints (7-1) [1pm FOX]I’m picking the Saints to win this game, Brees is supposed to be back as well.

NY Giants (2-7) @ Jets (1-7) [1pm FOX]The heck if I know. Against my better judgement I’m going to pick the Giants to win but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they messed it up.


Cardinals (3-5-1) @ Buccaneers (2-6) [1pm FOX]The Bucs haven’t won at home yet this season. I don’t think they are going to win this game either. I am picking the Cardinals to win.


Dolphins (1-7) @ Colts (5-3) [4:05pm CBS]Now that the Dolphins have won a game I think they won’t play as hard. I’m picking the Colts to win this game.

Panthers (5-3) @ Packers (7-2) [4:25pm FOX] I’m picking the Packers to bounce back and win this game over the Panthers.


Rams (5-3) @ Steelers (4-4) [4:25pm FOX]I’m picking the Rams to beat the Steelers.

Vikings (6-3) @ Cowboys (5-3) [8:20pm NBC] I’m picking the Vikings to bounce back and beat the Cowboys.

Monday, November 11th 

Seahawks (7-2) @ 49ers (8-0) [8:15pm ESPN]This is going to be a great game. I think that the 49ers are going to stay perfect and win this game as well.
