WEEK 10 NFL PICKS

LOCK OF THE WEEK

CAROLINA (-9.5) @ Oakland

Oakland has lost 4 of its last 5 games by 10 or more points and remain in turmoil after the firing of Coach Kiffin a few weeks ago. Releasing DeAngelo Hall this week only half a season into a huge contract was a sign that the Raiders have given up all hope and are trying to get the top pick in June's draft. If you need more to convince you of how bad this team is then read these statistics from last week's game at Atlanta: 0 Points; 10 Passing Yards; 67 Rushing Yards; 3 First Downs.

Meanwhile, the Panthers are undefeated at home, all while beating some top NFC teams in Chicago, Atlanta and New Orleans. Expect Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo Williams to combine for at least 200 yards rushing. Lock this one UP!!!

REST OF WEEK 10:

1 pm games:

ATLANTA (-0.5) vs. New Orleans

For what its worth, no NFC South team has lost a home game this year againsta divisional foe.

TENNESSEE (-3.0) @ Chicago

These two teams playa similar style of play, but one of them does it much better. 'Nuff Said.

DETROIT (+6.5) vs. Jacksonville

Jacksonville allowed Cincinnati to earn its first win of the season and I expect Detroit to beat the Jaguars straight up at home and get their first win as well.

MIAMI (-9.5) vs. Seattle

If you have Dolphins in fantasy then start them. Even Chad Pennington.

MINNESOTA (-2.5) vs. Green Bay

NEW ENGLND (-3.5) vs. Buffalo

NEW YORK JETS (-8.5) vs. St. Louis

BALTIMORE (+1.5) @ Houston

4 pm games:
