Here are my picks for Week 10 of the 2019 NFL season.
Thursday, November 6th
Los Angeles Chargers (4-5) vs Oakland Raiders (4-4)- 8:20, FOX/NFLN: The Chargers are coming off a big time home win over the Green Bay Packers. The Raiders are coming off a home win over the Detroit Lions. Joey Bosa and the Chargers defense has stepped up of late, but the best unit on the field might just be the Raiders offense led by Rookie of the Year favorite Josh Jacobs and breakout tight end Darren Waller and I think this will be an entertaining game with the Raiders getting above .500 here at home.
Prediction: Oakland 27, LA Chargers 23.
Sunday, November 10th
Detroit Lions (3-4-1) vs Chicago Bears (3-5)- 1:00, CBS: The Lions are coming off a tough road loss in Oakland against the Raiders. The Bears are coming off a road loss in Philadelphia against the Eagles. Although Matthew Stafford may not play and would make me reassess this pick, but Mitch Trubisky has been perhaps the worst quarterback in the NFL this season and I love the a Lions to win here on the road as the Bears fans will boo their team each time Trubisky does something bad.
Prediction: Detroit 26, Chicago 16.
Baltimore Ravens (6-2) vs Cincinnati Bengals (0-8)- 1:00, CBS: The Ravens are coming off a humongous home win over the New England Patriots on Sunday Night Football. The Bengals are coming off their bye and two weeks ago they lost to the Los Angeles Rams in London. Ryan Finley is making his first career start here and I think they'll keep it close against a Ravens team that may have a letdown after that Pats win.
Prediction: Baltimore 23, Cincinnati 20.
Buffalo Bills (6-2) vs Cleveland Browns (2-6)- 1:00, CBS: The Bills are coming off a home win over the hapless Washington Redskins. The Browns are coming off a bad road loss in Denver against a Broncos team that was on their third string quarterback. The Browns are amazingly favored in this game, which makes me suggest they know something and what they know is that the Browns are due. I think they are too as the Bills will be exposed by a team that's arguably more talented than they are.
Prediction: Cleveland 23, Buffalo 17.
Kansas City Chiefs (5-3) vs Tennessee Titans (4-5)- 1:00, CBS: The Chiefs are coming off a home win over the Minnesota Vikings. The Titans are coming off a loss in Charlotte against the Panthers. Patrick Mahomes returns for this one and I'm interested to see how he looks, but I won't be surprised if the game is close due to Derrick Henry exploiting the Chiefs weakness. Chiefs win a close one.
Prediction: Kansas City 27, Tennessee 26.
Atlanta Falcons (1-7) vs New Orleans Saints (7-1)- 1:00, FOX: The Falcons are coming off their bye and two weeks ago they lost at home against the Seattle Seahawks in a game which Matt Ryan hurt his ankle in. The Saints are coming off their bye and two weeks ago they won at home over the Arizona Cardinals. I absolutely love the Saints here in their home building against a Falcons team that is beat up on defense and has a coach on the hot seat and this is my lock of the week.
Prediction: New Orleans 37, Atlanta 24.
New York Giants (2-7) vs New York Jets (1-7)- 1:00, FOX: The New York Pooper Bowl everybody! The Giants are coming off a Monday night home loss against the Dallas Cowboys. The Jets are coming off a terrible divisional road loss in Miami against the previously winless Dolphins. The worse of the two teams that share a stadium is the Jets and I think the best player on the field will be Saquon Barkley and he'll help the giants end their five game losing skid.
Prediction: NY Giants 30, NY Jets 26.
Arizona Cardinals (3-5-1) vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-5)- 1:00, FOX: The Cardinals are coming off a Thursday night divisional home loss against the San Francisco 49ers. The Buccaneers are coming off a tough overtime road loss in Seattle against the Seahawks. Neither of these teams are very good, but I really like what I've seen from Kyler Murray of late and I think he will lead the Cards to a nice road win here.
Prediction: Arizona 30, Tampa Bay 27.
Miami Dolphins (1-7) vs Indianapolis Colts (5-3)- 4:05, CBS: The Dolphins are coming off their first win over the season at home over the pitiful New York Jets. The Colts are coming off a tough road loss in Pittsburgh against the Steelers and Jacoby Brissett injured his knee. Brian Hoyer is now starting for the Colts here, but after their first win this feels like a major letdown spot for the Dolphins so I like the Colts to use their run game and get the win here at home.
Prediction: Indianapolis 20, Miami 13.
Carolina Panthers (5-3) vs Green Bay Packers (7-2)- 4:25, FOX: The Panthers are coming off a home win over the Tennessee Titans. The Packers are coming off a bad road loss in Los Angeles against the Chargers. This is a really nice spot for Aaron Rodgers and that offense to bounce back and exploit the Panthers defense like Jimmy Garappolo did a few weeks ago and get a nice win here at home.
Prediction: Green Bay 34, Carolina 20.
Los Angeles Rams (5-3) vs Pittsburgh Steelers (4-4)- 4:25, FOX: The Rams are coming off their het and two week ago they won in London against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Steelers are coming off a home win over the Indianapolis Colts. The weather isn't going to be great, which could factor a bit here, but I don't trust Mason Rudolph and I think the Rams will get it done on the road.
Prediction: LA Rams 26, Pittsburgh 16.
Minnesota Vikings (6-3) vs Dallas Cowboys (5-3)- 8:20, NBC: The Vikings are coming off a heartbreaking road loss in Kansas City against the Chiefs on a game winning field goal by Harrison Butker. The Cowboys are coming off a big Monday Night road win in East Rutherford against the Giants. Kirk Cousins never really steps up in road primetime games against good teams and it won't help that Adam Thielen is out due to a hamstring injury. The Cowboys will come away in what will be another statement win at home.
Prediction: Dallas 30, Minnesota 29.
Monday, November 11th
Seattle Seahawks (7-2) vs San Francisco 49ers (8-0)- 8:15, ESPN: The Seahawks are coming off an overtime home win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 49ers are coming off a divisional Thursday night road win in Glendale against the Cardinals. This should be a fun and entertaining game between two good teams and I think that Jimmy Garappolo and that offense will exploit the Seahawks defense like the Bucs did last week and the Niners defense will get some stops and they'll remain unbeaten another week.
Prediction: San Francisco 34, Seattle 26.

2019 College Football Week 11: Picks

Pick: Louisiana
Temple (5-3; 2-2) at South Florida (4-4; 2-2)- 8:00, ESPN: This is a huge game for both teams, but the Bulls need it badly.
Pick: South Florida
Friday, November 8th
UCF (7-2; 4-1) at Tulsa (2-7; 0-5)- 7:00, ESPN2
Pick: UCF
Washington (5-4; 2-4) at Oregon State (4-4; 3-2)- 10:00, FS1: This is suddenly a game of importance of both of these teams, especially the Beavers who have been a pleasant surprise this season in conference as they're vying for their first bowl game appearance in six years. I think the Beavers are the more motivated team here and I think they pull off the upset over a Huskies team that is not as good as it's perceived to be.
Pick: Oregon State
Saturday, November 9th
Maryland (3-6; 1-5) at (1) Ohio State (8-0; 5-0)- 12:00, FOX: No Chase Young, no problem.
Pick: Ohio State
(4) Penn State (8-0; 5-0) at (17) Minnesota (8-0; 5-0)- 12:00, ABC: This is the biggest game in the B1G to this point, but the second biggest game of the weekend. The Nittany Lions are the better team and they will expose PJ Fleck's team.
Pick: Penn State
Vanderbilt (2-6; 1-4) at (10) Florida (7-2; 4-2)- 12:00, ESPN
Pick: Florida
(12) Baylor (8-0; 5-0) at TCU (4-4; 2-3)- 12:00, FS1: This is finally where the Bears get handed their first loss as they're peaking ahead to when they host Oklahoma next week.

Pick: Texas State
(2) LSU (8-0; 4-0) at (3) Alabama (8-0; 5-0)- 3:30, CBS: This is the most important game of the 2019 College Football season to this point and it will likely determine a spot in the College Football Playoff. CBS's Gary Danielson had reported that Tua Tagovailoa "did not look great" which is not a good sign at all for my prediction of this game, but I'm gonna stick to my gut and that the home team. Roll Tide!
Pick: Alabama
Connecticut (2-7; 0-5) at (20) Cincinnati (7-1; 4-0)- 3:30, CBSSN

Pick: Louisville

Pick: BYU
Iowa State (5-3; 3-2) at (9) Oklahoma (7-1; 4-1)- 8:00, FOX: Both of these teams defenses have been exposed to a degree of late and I think Jalen Hurts leads the Sooners to a big win.

2019 NFL Week 9 Picks
Here are my picks for Week 9 of the 2019 NFL season.
Thursday, October 31st
San Francisco 49ers (7-0) vs Arizona Cardinals (3-4-1)- 8:20, FOX/NFL: The 49ers are coming off a resounding home win over the Carolina Panthers. The Cardinals are coming off a road loss in New Orleans against the Saints. The Cardinals are not a horrible team, but this 49ers defense is a bad matchup for Kyler Murray and the Cards offense because of their talented pass rush led by Defensive Rookie of the Year favorite Nick Bosa and that will keep the Niners unbeaten another week.
Prediction: San Francisco 20, Arizona 13.
Sunday, November 3rd
Houston Texans (5-3) vs Jacksonville Jaguars (4-4)- 9:30, NFL: These two teams played earlier in the season and the Texans won a close one in Houston and now they play in London. The Texans are coming off a home win over the Raiders. The Jaguars are coming off a much needed home win over the New York Jets. JJ Watt was lost for the season and that's a big loss for them, but the best player on the field will be DeShaun Watson and he'll lead the Texans to a win.
Prediction: Houston 27, Jacksonville 20.
Washington Redskins (1-7) vs Buffalo Bills (5-2)- 1:00, FOX: The Redskins are coming off a Thursday night road loss in Minneapolis against the Vikings. The Bills are coming off a bad home loss against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Bills were badly exposed last week, but I do expect them to bounce back against a lowly Redskins team, who is starting rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins for the first time.
Prediction: Buffalo 23, Washington 13.
Minnesota Vikings (6-2) vs Kansas City Chiefs (5-3)- 1:00, FOX: The Vikings are coming off a Thursday night home win over the Washington Redskins. The Chiefs are coming off a Sunday night home loss against the Green Bay Packers. The Vikings have some matchup advantages in this one, but Matt Moore has quietly played well filling in for the injured Patrick Mahomes and I think he leads the Chiefs to a win.
Prediction: Kansas City 23, Minnesota 20.
New York Jets (1-6) vs Miami Dolphins (0-7)- 1:00, CBS: This is a truly terrible game. The Jets are coming off a bad road loss in Jacksonville against the Jaguars. The Dolphins are coming off a Monday night road loss in Pittsburgh against the Steelers. The Dolphins have been competitive in some of these games, but they clearly are trying to lose, so give me the Jets to get a much needed win to at least give the team some confidence.
Prediction: NY Jets 16, Miami 13.
Chicago Bears (3-4) vs Philadelphia Eagles (4-4)- 1:00, FOX: The Bears are coming off a brutal home loss against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Eagles are coming off a much needed road win in Orchard Park against the Bills. Mitch Trubisky is looking like one of the bigger bust quarterbacks over the past five years sans playing in a home playoff game last season and I think the Eagles have some momentum.
Prediction: Philadelphia 20, Chicago 16.
Indianapolis Colts (5-2) vs Pittsburgh Steelers (3-4)- 1:00, CBS: The Colts are coming off a home win over the Denver Broncos. The Steelers are coming off a Monday night home win over the Miami Dolphins in a game they needed to win. Each team is missing a significant offensive piece with TY Hilton out for the Colts and James Conner out for the Steelers, but I think Hilton's absence is a bigger deal because I don't trust the other Colts receivers and the Steelers have a good offensive line, which helps their run game and I think the Steelers get back to .500.
Prediction: Pittsburgh 16, Indianapolis 13.
Tennessee Titans (4-4) vs Carolina Panthers (4-3)- 1:00, FOX: The Titans are coming off a lucky home win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Panthers are coming off a disastrous road loss in Santa Clara against the 49ers. The Panthers are clearly a better team than the Titans and I think Kyle Allen bounces back and leads the Panthers to a crucial win.
Prediction: Carolina 26, Tennessee 16.
Detroit Lions (3-3-1) vs Oakland Raiders (3-4)- 4:05, FOX: The Lions are coming off a much needed home win over the New York Giants. The Raiders are coming off a tough road loss in Houston against the Texans. This is the Raiders first home game since September (!!!!) and I believe they'll get a win here to get back to .500 on the season against a Lions team I feel is fraudulent.
Prediction: Oakland 33, Detroit 27.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-5) vs Seattle Seahawks (6-2)- 4:05, FOX: The Buccaneers are coming off a brutal road loss in Nashville against the Titans in a game that a blown call cost the Bucs a chance to win. The Seahawks are coming off a road win in Atlanta against the Falcons. The Bucs are a team I do not trust at all due to Jameis Winston's turnover issues and I think the Seahawks can take advantage and for Russell Wilson to continue to build an MVP resume.
Prediction: Seattle 30, Tampa Bay 17.
Cleveland Browns (2-5) vs Denver Broncos (2-6)- 4:25, CBS: The Browns are coming off a rods loss in Foxboro against the Patriots. The Broncos are coming off a brutal road loss in Indianapolis against the Colts. Brandon Allen is making his first career start with Joe Flacco being out 4-6 weeks and I think the Browns take advantage.
Prediction: Cleveland 20, Denver 10.
Green Bay Packers (7-1) vs Los Angeles Chargers (3-5)- 4:25, CBS: The Packers are coming off a Sunday night road loss in Kansas City against the Chiefs. The Chargers are coming off a road win in Chicago against a Bears team that's in the middle of an implosion. DeVante Adams returns for the Packers to give them a big boost offensively and Aaron Rodgers is playing great and this is my lock of the week.
Prediction: Green Bay 34, LA Chargers 20.
New England Patriots (8-0) vs Baltimore Ravens (5-2)- 8:20, NBC: This is perhaps the biggest regular season game of the season to this point. The Pats are coming off a home win over the Cleveland Browns. The Ravens are coming off their bye and two weeks ago, they won in Seattle against the Seahawks. I do think the Pats are at risk here for their first loss of the season and I believe Lamar Jackson steps up in what is the most important regular season game of his career to help hand the Pats their first loss.
Prediction: Baltimore 24, New England 20.
Monday, November 3rd
Dallas Cowboys (4-3) vs New York Giants (2-6)- 8:15, ESPN: The Cowboys are coming off their bye and two weeks ago, the defeated the Philadelphia Eagles at home on Sunday Night Football. The Giants are coming off a road loss in Detroit against the Lions. Leighton Vander Esch is an important player on defense for the Cowboys and he'll miss the game due to an injury, which opens things up for Daniel Jones to have another great game for the Giants. But, the Cowboys offense is the best unit on the field and I expect a big game from Dak Prescott to lead the Boys to a close win.
Prediction: Dallas 27, NY Giants 24.
Thursday, October 31st
San Francisco 49ers (7-0) vs Arizona Cardinals (3-4-1)- 8:20, FOX/NFL: The 49ers are coming off a resounding home win over the Carolina Panthers. The Cardinals are coming off a road loss in New Orleans against the Saints. The Cardinals are not a horrible team, but this 49ers defense is a bad matchup for Kyler Murray and the Cards offense because of their talented pass rush led by Defensive Rookie of the Year favorite Nick Bosa and that will keep the Niners unbeaten another week.

(8) Georgia (6-1; 3-1) vs (6) Florida (7-1; 4-1)- 3:30, CBS: This game is being played in Jacksonville as it always is. It will be close and low scoring and I trust Jake Fromm (State Farm) to make plays down the stretch to keep the Bulldogs playoff hopes alive.
Pick: Georgia
(22) Kansas State (5-2; 2-2) at Kansas (3-5; 1-4)- 3:30, FS1: This is an interesting game between these two in-state conference rivals. Who has the letdown after the big win? I say the Jayhawks, who are improved, but I don't see them winning back to back games.

(9) Utah (7-1; 4-1) at Washington (5-3; 2-3)- 4:00, FOX: The Utes are under some pressure here to get a big win for the conference, but I think the Huskies play spoiler and spoil the Utes playoff dreams.

Pick: Tennessee
Northwestern (1-6; 0-5) at Indiana (6-2; 3-2)- 7:00, FS1
Pick: Indiana
(15) SMU (8-0; 4-0) at (24) Memphis (7-1; 3-1)- 7:30, ABC: This is going to be a great AAC West matchup. College GameDay is on hand for this one instead of Jacksonville for Georgia/Florida. This will be a shootout with little punting and give me the Tigers to get it done at home in a close one.
Pick: Memphis
Vanderbilt (2-5; 1-3) at South Carolina (3-5; 2-4)- 7:30, SECN
Pick: South Carolina
Virginia (5-3; 3-2) at North Carolina (4-4; 3-2)- 7:30, ACCN: This is a big game in conference play. I don't think the Tar Heels are as good as perceived and I think the Cavs come away with a big win.
Pick: Virginia
(7) Oregon (7-1; 5-0) at USC (5-3; 4-1)- 8:00, FOX: This is another humongous game in the Pac-12. The pressure is on both head coaches here for entirely different reasons. I really like the Trojans to pull off the home upset and play the biggest spoiler of the Pac-12's hope for a playoff team.
Pick: USC
Colorado (3-5; 1-4) at UCLA (3-5; 3-2)- 9:00, Pac-12N

Tulsa (2-6; 0-4) at Tulane (5-3; 2-2)- 4:00, ESPN2
Pick: Tulane
Oregon State (3-4; 2-2) at Arizona (4-4; 2-3)- 4:00, Pac-12N
Pick: Arizona
Texas State (2-5; 1-2) at Louisiana (5-2; 2-1)- 5:00, ESPN+
Pick: Louisiana
Ole Miss (3-5; 2-3) at (11) Auburn (6-2; 3-2)- 7:00, ESPN
Pick: Auburn
(17) Cincinnati (6-1; 3-0) at East Carolina (3-5; 0-4)- 7:00, CBSSN
Pick: Cincinnati
UAB (6-1; 3-1) at Tennessee (3-5; 2-3)- 7:00, ESPNU: This game will be a lot closer than the experts think.
Pick: Tennessee
Northwestern (1-6; 0-5) at Indiana (6-2; 3-2)- 7:00, FS1
Pick: Indiana
(15) SMU (8-0; 4-0) at (24) Memphis (7-1; 3-1)- 7:30, ABC: This is going to be a great AAC West matchup. College GameDay is on hand for this one instead of Jacksonville for Georgia/Florida. This will be a shootout with little punting and give me the Tigers to get it done at home in a close one.
Pick: Memphis
Vanderbilt (2-5; 1-3) at South Carolina (3-5; 2-4)- 7:30, SECN
Pick: South Carolina
Virginia (5-3; 3-2) at North Carolina (4-4; 3-2)- 7:30, ACCN: This is a big game in conference play. I don't think the Tar Heels are as good as perceived and I think the Cavs come away with a big win.
Pick: Virginia
(7) Oregon (7-1; 5-0) at USC (5-3; 4-1)- 8:00, FOX: This is another humongous game in the Pac-12. The pressure is on both head coaches here for entirely different reasons. I really like the Trojans to pull off the home upset and play the biggest spoiler of the Pac-12's hope for a playoff team.
Pick: USC
Colorado (3-5; 1-4) at UCLA (3-5; 3-2)- 9:00, Pac-12N
Pick: UCLA
BYU (3-4) at Utah State (4-3; 3-1)- 10:00, ESPN2

Pick: Hawaii
