Nickel City Picks: Week 10 NFL Predictions & Locks

An 8-6 record? Woof. Last week was rough for Nickel City Picks. Some I was more than happy to get wrong – looking at you Steelers and Bills for showing up – and some I was shocked to have gotten wrong – like the Lions, Packers and Cowboys. Then, there were some picked upsets that I was completely misguided on – actually mostly just one. The Falcons.

But, we’re back for Week 10. With a 28-14 record on our season since we started, we’re feeling okay with how things have shaken out. We would love to be right on the majority of these this week. For no other reason than laziness. It would make our weekly Power Rankings way easier to put together. Here are our Week 10 Picks. Take these as law. Prophecy. Destiny. Unless you’re putting money down. In which case, we never said a thing.

Last Week: 8-6

Season Record: 28-14

Thursday Night Football:

(2-6) Las Vegas Raiders @ (7-2) Denver Broncos – Pick: Denver Broncos

Sunday:

(3-5) Atlanta Falcons @ (7-2) Indianapolis Colts – Pick: Indianapolis Colts
(2-6) Cleveland Browns @ (1-7) New York Jets – Pick: Cleveland Browns
(3-5) Baltimore Ravens @ (4-4) Minnesota Vikings – Pick: Baltimore Ravens
(1-8) New Orleans Saints @ (5-4) Carolina Panthers – Pick: Carolina Panthers
(2-7) New York Giants @ (5-3) Chicago Bears – Pick: Chicago Bears
(7-2) New England Patriots @ (6-2) Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Pick: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

(6-2) Buffalo Bills @ (2-7) Miami Dolphins – Pick: Buffalo Bills

This one is easy. Buffalo shouldn’t have an issue at all here. And I know Week 3 was closer than we would’ve liked. But I think Buffalo is hungry to prove that they have the juice. I’m expecting, not only a win, but a statement in this one.

(3-5) Arizona Cardinals @ (6-2) Seattle Seahawks – Pick: Seattle Seahawks
(6-2) Los Angeles Rams @ (6-3) San Francisco 49ers – Pick: Los Angeles Rams
(5-3) Detroit Lions @ (3-6) Washington Commanders – Pick: Detroit Lions
(5-3) Pittsburgh Steelers @ (6-3) Los Angeles Chargers – Pick: Pittsburgh Steelers

Monday Night Football:

(6-2) Philadelphia Eagles @ (5-2-1) Green Bay Packers – Pick: Philadelphia Eagles
