NFL Football Picks

The Week 10 matchup between the Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams is tricky to say the least. On paper, the Cards and their inability to protect the quarterback should be pressured by the Rams nasty defense line and get crushed Sunday. However, oddsmakers have made Arizona a +3 road underdog, suggesting they think AZ is going to win this game straight up. Could it be that the loss to Tampa Bay sets the Rams in a tailspin? Or can Sean McVay and Co. rebound off a brutal come from behind victory by Tom Brady last week? Get Loot’s Ari/LAR prediction here!

The Indianapolis Colts have looked like absolute garbage as of late. The Raiders haven’t been much better but did look for fluid on offense last week as they heavily targeted Davante Adams. Las Vegas comes in as -6.5 home favorites in Week 10, which is somewhat of a sucker bet line, but with the Colts looking so bad, laying the points might be warranted! Get our Ind/LV pick here!

There was promise surrounding the Texans going into 2018. Houston returns players on both sides of the ball who would have been a big part of the success in 2017. We are talking about quarterback DeShaun Watson and defensive end J.J Watt. Both were shelved for the remainder of the season in 2017 when they suffered bad injuries. Both men are back in 2018 but the Texans have yet to get a W. Here is why Keith believes this is their game… and our cover.

The Titans are a wounded duck and the talent difference between these two teams is more than the Titans can overcome on a good day. Jacksonville would be a candidate to for a let-down week, but the Titans beat them twice last year so that should be enough to keep the Jags focused. But is it enough to win by a touchdown and cover the 6.5 point spread?

Opponents have scored a combined 32 points on the Dolphins in two games, with a TD coming on special teams. DE Robert Quinn is paying off, with Akeem Spence adding beef up-front. Rookie Raekwon McMillan gives their middle a boost to go along with Kiko Alonso. They have five interceptions through two games. And corner Bobby McCain is the only one in the secondary who hasn’t picked off a pass. Is Miami luckier than good? Loot Levinson breaks down the game and offers his pick.

This game sets up perfect for Baltimore. They are at home and have an 3 extra days to get ready for the game. They are coming off a bad loss on national TV. On the other side Denver has won 2 games in Denver, and travel for the first time in 2018. Denver’s altitude is hard for visitors to handle as seen by both teams having bad 4th quarters. The Ravens are the better coached team. Keith Allen goes deeper into why this game favors the Ravens on paper but is it enough to cover the 5 spot?

The New York Jets come to FirstEnergy Stadium to battle the Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night Football. The Jets weren’t able to follow a great week one win, losing 20-12 at home to the ‘Dolphins last Sunday. The Browns, meanwhile, fell to the Saints in overtime, with a series of bad breaks once again costing them a needed W. Who can get the big win on Thursday? Loot breaks it down!

Russell Wilson was sacked 6 times last week in a loss to the Broncos. Things won’t get any easier for the Seahawks without WR Doug Baldwin who went down with a knee injury and will miss several weeks. The running game is virtually nonexistent for Seattle. Should the Seahawks only be 3.5 point dogs versus the Chicago Bears? Jay Horne gives his NFL pick.

This Sunday in Landover, Maryland, the Washington Redskins will host the Indianapolis Colts. The Redskins are a two field goal favorite versus Andrew Luck and company, an offensive group that hasn’t been together for a while. Is 6 points, and even 6.5 at some sportsbooks, too much for an Indianapolis team that is expected to be better after their week 1 run?

Kevin West breaks down this game and offers his total pick and analysis. “It won’t matter if Minnesota runs or passes, Green Bay’s defense is so horrible that they’re going to move the ball down field either way. “But what about the Vikings D?” They’re not as good away from home, plus I watched the game vs. SF twice and there were Niner receivers leaking out all over the place, many times wide open! Minnesota Vikings vs. Green Bay Packers is expected to be a shoot out. The total is currently 46.5. Read the full pick!
