NFL: Picking 3 Games for Week 10

Posted on | November 15, 2009 | No Comments

The biggest game of this week will be played on Sunday night between the New England Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts. But there are a lot of good games too. These other games will have a major impact on the playoff picture. These games include the Dallas Cowboys traveling to Green Bay to take on the Packers, the Philadelphia Eagles at the San Diego Chargers, and, of course, the Cincinnati Bengals at the Pittsburgh Steelers. So, let’s pick those games right now.

Dallas Cowboys at Green Bay Packers

This seems to be a match-up of 2 teams heading in opposite directions. The Cowboys have won 4 straight and the Packers just lost to the previously winless Buccaneers. Aaron Rodgers can throw and will challenge the Cowboys secondary. But the pass protection probably won’t hold up against the Dallas pass rush. And the Dallas offense will continue to roll. Therefore, I’m taking the Cowboys.

Philadelphia Eagles at San Diego Chargers

The Eagles are coming off a tough loss against the Cowboys last Sunday night. The alarming thing here is how the Eagles players (and Andy Reid) whined about the officiating in this game. Yes, there were some bad calls but they went both ways – including a missed interference call in the end zone that benefited the Packers. And upon further review, even if McNabb was given the mark he wanted on the 4th and inches play, the Eagles still would’ve been short.

So, I just don’t think the Eagles have the right mental make-up. I’ll take the Chargers at home.

Cincinnati Bengals at Pittsburgh Steelers

Nobody is giving the Bengals any respect even though they already beat the Steelers earlier in the year. The Bengals are one of those teams that just might have trouble winning games the second half of the season. Look for their slide to start today. Go with the Steelers.
