NFL Predictions Week 10 -
Texans at Browns -
Tough game to predict, really. The Texans aren't nearly as bad as they appear and been competitive for the most part in 2020. But they can only work with what they are given, though. I don' think they really do anything great, but they have Waston and that always gives them a good shot to win on any weekend given weekend. Their defense is what loses them game, though. No real consistent pass rush and they can't really stop the pass or the run that well. This defensive unit is not very good and they have shown that on a weekly basis. If they lose here again in week 10, I think you can point at the defense once again. I believe the offense will give them a fighting chance in this one!
I still have questions about the Browns and still not sold on them. I thought they would miss the playoffs headed into the season and I will admit that they done better than I thought they would. But they seem to do the best when they have a healthy run game and that appears to be the case here in week 10. I wouldn't expect the Browns to depend on Baker Mayfield and the passing attack as much as they did in their last game. On defense, I think this unit don't get enough credit. Even though, I am not super high on this group on that side of the ball.
Prediction - Hard to say which way this one goes. I don't believe the Browns are good enough to head and shoulders better than the Texans But I also believe that the Texans have a lot of weaknesses and some of them put them at a major disadvantage. The Browns are the better team here and I am going say the better team will win this one!
Washington at Lions -
For all of the turnover in the Washington organzation and all the changes that has happened recently, they have done pretty well in the 2020 season. They haven't been great, but they are still alive in the NFC East. The worst division in football, but they still have a chance at this thing right now! Defensively, I actually been really surprised! I didn't expect them to be this good and their offense has been a lot better than expected. They have some nice young pieces that are making plays on a weekly basis!
Lions haven't really done better than I expected, but at the same time they have done better than they did in 2019. But they have dropped all three games within their division so far and has proven that they don't have a defense capable of slowing down anyone. On offense, their best players also can't seem to stay healthy and Matthew Stafford can also do so much. He is very talented, but he can't take his team to that next level like the greats can. And that no disrespect to him, as there only a few like that in NFL history.
Prediction - Overall, I am not sure who to pick in this one. I say the Lions have best player (Matthew Stafford), but he will be without their best weapon on Sunday. I think Washington have a better overall team. They have a top 10 WR and a rookie running back that keep making plays. They also have a really underrated defense, too. Which is why I am going with Washington in this matchup!
Bucs at Panthers -
Bucs are coming off their worst game of the season, where they were dominated in every aspect by the Saints! The Bucs didn't do anything right and they lost by 35 points! I think they will bounce back just fine and get back to themselves more in week 10! But I think we saw a little what we can expect from this Bucs' team on a regular basis. They aren't THAT bad, but this team is prong to mistakes and that will be an issue going forward. I don't just expect their mistakes-like nature to just go away. It is something Brady and the Bucs will have to work at and overcome it. I also want to note that the Saints have a really good offense and defense. So 3 or 4 mistakes will do that to a team.
The Panthers are just a solid-rounded football team. They aren't anything special or do anything elite, but they consistently get results on a weekly basis. They might not win every week, but they aren't an easy out like everybody was thinking before the season. Teddy Bridgewater has outperformed what has been expected out of him and they run the ball well. With or without CMC, and yes he will be out again this weekend vs the Bucs. I think they would have a lot better shot in this game with him, but I don't expect this Carolina team to just lay down for the Bucs, though.
Prediction - I would love to say the Panthers in this game, but I don't think they have the firepower to beat the Bucs. I believe that their best shot is if the Bucs have a lot of mistakes and they can take advantage of it. We seen a few teams do that this season vs them. Talent wise, I think the gap larger than I am comfortable with. So with all of that said, I am going with the Bucs in this game!
Eagles at Giants -
What an ugly divison this is in the NFC East! The Eagles are probably by far the best team (especially with Cowboys without Dak), but the Eagles been hit hard this season with the injuries. If they were in any other division, then I am willing to bet that their season is already over. But instead, they are in control of the NFC East. However, the Eagles are getting healthy at the right time and are easily my pick to win the NFC East and eventually host a playoff game in January!
The Gaints are so and so, but they will put up a good fight against the Eagles! I know a lot of people are hard on the Gaints and Daniel Jones. However, I don't believe that Daniel Jones is the issue here. Your casual fan will say he is bad, but the Gaints put him in a spot from day 1 to fail. I don't believe any QB could have success in New York right now. They literally have failed to put any talent around him that gives him a chance to win the division. With that said, this Gaints team works with what they have and usually are in most ballgames until the talent gap becomes too much late in the games. I expect things to be no difference here in week 10!
Prediction - I want the Gaints to win, but in the end I believe the Eagles will pull away and prove to everybody again why the Gaints need a better team around Daniel Jones! I have the Eagles winning more than 7 points.
