Fearless Rick & Coin Flip NFL Week 10 Early Games
All times Eastern
Week 9 Results: Rick: 8-6; Flip: 7-7
Thursday, November 6
Las Vegas Raiders at Denver Broncos (-9, 43) 8:15 pm - First place (7-2) Broncos hosting last place (2-6) Vegas in an AFC West divisional game seems like a perfect time to catch the Broncos on a high note, winners of six straight, with the visitors coming in off a troubling, 30-29 OT loss to Jacksonville.
The Raiders traded wideout Jakobi Meyers to Jacksonville, opening up the possibility of a two tight end offense. Las Vegas has one win in its last seven games, and that was against NFL punching bag, Tennessee.
Coin Flip: Las Vegas
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Broncos 31 Raiders 13
Atlanta Falcons vs Indianapolis Colts (-7, 48.5) (Berlin, Germany), 9:30 am - One thing is certain about the Falcons: they are about as predictable as an earthquake. Thy win games they’re supposed to lose and lose those they should win. Last week they lost, but covered against New England, 24-23.
Playing at Indiana and a revamped defense might be more than the Falcons can handle. The Colts lost at Pittsburgh last week, 27-20, dropping them to 7-2, still 1 1/2 up on 5-3 Jacksonville in the AFC South. They’re 5-0 at home, a trend that should continue.
Coin Flip: Atlanta
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Colts 27 Falcons 17
Looks fairly academic. The Panthers are playing solid defense and growing confidence, especially after knocking of the Pakcers in Green Bay last week, 16-13.
Coin Flip: Carolina
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Panthers 35 Saints 10
The Bears are just 2-1 at home with a favorable schedule of home games upcoming. The Giants are hurting, though Jaxson Dart continues to impress. This contest between two young teams could be close, so the points may come in handy.
Coin Flip: Chicago
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Bears 26 Giants 23
Jacksonville topped the Texans, 17-10, back in Week 3, so a home-and-home return victory might save Houston’s season.
Coin Flip: Jacksonville
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Texans 23 Jaguars 17
It needs repeating that this is a divisional contest, with the home team getting excess points, not a condition to take lightly. Buffalo prevailed over the Dolphins back in Week Three, 31-21, and they appear to be moving in a positive direction. The Bills also would like to retake first place in the division, currently held by New England.
Coin Flip: Miami
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Bills 34 Dolphins 20
Not sold on the idea that the Ravens can continue making progress toward capturing the AFC North at this stop. At 3-5, it appears to be their best opportunity to make the playoffs. A loss here doesn’t exactly ruin their chances, because they have the Browns, Jets, and Bengals next up on their schedule before a December 7 game against the Steelers, in Baltimore.
Coin Flip: Minnesota
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Vikings 34 Ravens 31
The Jets are home and won last week at Cincinnati, 39-38. Can they make it two in a row? This is the NFL. Stranger things have happened.
Coin Flip: Cleveland
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Jets 21 Browns 14
New England has been a pleasant surprise this season under Mike Vrable and have won six in a row. Should be a bang-up contest.
Coin Flip: Tampa Bay
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Patriots 27 Buccaneers 25
