Boy, that was painful. After correctly predicting a Browns loss in Cincinnati, I went a mere 6-6 for the rest of the week – which brings my season record to 70-27. Hopefully I can regain some of the momentum I lost last week and make a comeback. With that said, here are Wunkle’s picks for week 10 of the 2015-2016 NFL season.
Buffalo at New York Jets: I just can’t see one team being so dominant over the other. This could be a defensive struggle or a barn burner. Jets get the nod because they’re the home team. Final score: Jets 27 – Bills 24.
Jacksonville at Baltimore: This could be the game of the week that prison inmates will refuse to watch because it promises to be so bad. Final score: Ravens 16 – Jaguars 13.
Detroit at Green Bay: The Packers are ticked because they’re riding a two-game losing streak. Along come the Lions playing the part of the sacrificial lamb. Final score: Packers 34 – Lions 20 in a game that won’t be as close as the final score indicates.
Miami at Philadelphia: The Fins are looking to rebound after back-to-back loses. Final score: Dolphins 24 – Eagles 17.
Cleveland at Pittsburgh: The likely starters for this game are Landry Jones and Johnny Manziel. If that indeed is the case, then the Browns don’t have a freaking prayer – even with Jones at QB for the Steelers. Final score: Steelers 30 – Browns 17 with the Browns getting a last minutes garbage TD that they failed to get in Cincinnati last week.
Chicago at St. Louis: ‘Da-Bears are the other sacrificial lamb in the NFC North. Final score: Rams 27- Bears 13.
Dallas at Tampa Bay: The Cowboys finally get a win without Tony Romo at QB. Final score: Cowboys 24 – Buccaneers 13.
Carolina at Tennessee: Even on the road, this will be an easy win for Carolina. Final score: Panthers 31 – Titans 16.
New Orleans at Washington: This is a game where it won’t seem to matter which way I go, somehow I’m going to get bitten in the butt. Final score: Saints 24 – Redskins 17.
Kansas City at Denver: This is a dangerous game for the Broncos because they barely beat the Chiefs in the season opener. Final score: Broncos 31 – Chiefs 27.
New England at New York Giants: The G-Men seem to be Tom Brady’s kryptonite. That said, I see the Pats squeaking out a road win. Final score: Patriots 31 – Giants 30.
Arizona at Seattle: I see this one as another squeaker. However, I see the home team coming up with a “W” on this game with the 12th man playing a major role. Final score: Seahawks 24 – Cardinals 23.
Houston at Cincinnati: This will be Andy Dalton’s second consecutive game in prime time at home. That and JJ Watt are the Texans’ only hope for a win. Final score: Bengals 34 – Texans 17.
Well, that wraps up another week of predictions. Feel free to leave your comments. Have a great day, everyone!
