Widestrides Week 10 NFL

[widestrides]

I'm leaning this way in my Pick 10 Contest. Which ones would you like talk me out of or into? Back with final picks later.

Jets -6.5. Garrard looked erratic last week. Jets rested.

Bengals +7. Bengals and Tomlin keep it close.

Bucs +10.5. Too many points. WildCat keeps the clock moving.

Raiders -2. KC looked like crap last week. Oakland rested and "tough" at home.

Cardinals -9. Seattle couldn't handle them in Seattle. 3-27!

Chargers Pick. Eagles don't travel well. Chargers warming up.

Cowboys -3. Rogers continues to hold the ball too long. Lots of injuries.

Patriots +3. Taking the points in a game that could go either way.

Broncos -3.5?. Portis out. Cooley out. Campbell still in.

Patriots vs Colts Under 48.5? Sparring contest?

Boys/Pack under 47.5? Both will try to get the running game going.

AZ/Sea over 46.5? Seattle will be playing catch-up.

OAK/KC over 37? Close game keeps them playing aggressively.

I have been less than mediocre in the NFL this year so I have shied away from giving out any picks but this week I like:

San Diego
New Orleans
Redskins under

Good luck!

Okay here are my best bets and leans for Week 10.

Picks
Jets -6.5. Garrard looked erratic last week. Jets rested.
Loser (What happened to that vaunted Jets' Defense?!)

Bengals +7. Bengals and Tomlin keep it close. Winner. Bengals for real.

Raiders -2. KC looked like crap last week. Oakland rested and "tough" at home. Loser. Why waste hard earned money or even a contest pick on Oakland?

Cardinals -9. Seattle couldn't handle them in Seattle. 3-27! Winner. Lucky. Needed to two INTs at the end to prevent the back door.

Chargers Pick. Eagles don't travel well. Chargers warming up. Winner.

Patriots +3. Taking the points in a game that could go either way. Winner. Unbelievable comeback for Colts. I don't blame Bellichick for going for it. Manning would have beat you even if you punted. Take a chance on making two yards and getting the W.

Broncos -3.5?. Portis out. Cooley out. Campbell still in.
Loser. If Orton doesn't get hurt, maybe this had a chance.

Leans
Bucs +10.5. Too many points. WildCat keeps the clock moving. Winner. And almost SU!

Cowboys -3. Rogers continues to hold the ball too long. Lots of injuries. Loser. Great gut-check by the Pack. Cowboys not as good as people thought. Actually, in my contest I backed off the Cowboys and just went under! But I posted this and have to take the loss.

Patriots vs Colts Under 48.5? Sparring contest?
Loser! Not even close. Track meet. Neither has good Defense. Or just two great Offenses?

Boys/Pack under 47.5? Both will try to get the running game going. Winner. Easy. Wow!

AZ/Sea over 46.5? Seattle will be playing catch-up.
Winner. AZ played catch-up first.

OAK/KC over 37? Close game keeps them playing aggressively. Loser! Two bad teams tripping over each other.
