NFL Week 10 Picks: Favorites Ready to Dominate on Sunday

Week 10 of the NFL season could wind up being the week of the blowout. 

While most games have been extremely close this season, bettors could see a few games that are over before they even get started this week.

As the season wears on, so does the disparity between the good teams and the bad. Teams with nothing to play for tend to give up. Injuries begin to pile up. The good teams find ways to adjust and become better. The bad teams struggle to keep up.

As we approach the last quarter of the season, mismatches could start to get ugly. Here's this week's candidates for games that will get ugly. All lines provided by Bovada.

New England Patriots (-11) over Buffalo Bills

If it seems like the Bills are a feast or famine team under Chan Gailey, it's because they are.

According to Mike Schopp of WGR the Bills have had an uncanny ability to either blow teams out or get blown out.

"

In 40 games under Chan Gailey the Bills have 13 wins, and 12 losses by at least 20 points.

This could very easily be one of those times where we see the Bills get beat by 20 or more.

The Patriots are one of the most explosive teams in the NFL when in a rhythm. They appeared to have found that rhythm in London against the Rams in Week 8, as they beat St. Louis 45-7.

Considering Bill Belichick was given an extra week to prepare for this game and the Patriots should benefit from a week of rest, this one may get out of hand early. 

New York Giants (-4) over Cincinnati Bengals 

The poor Bengals have the poor distinction of playing the Manning brothers in back-to-back weeks. 

After nearly beating Peyton's Broncos last week, the Bengals welcome Eli's Giants to Cincinnati Sunday. This couldn't be worse news as the Giants are a terrible matchup for the Bengals—especially considering the Bengals are now losers of four straight.

At 3-5, the Bengals aren't where they thought they would be at this point in the season and this is where their determination will be tested. With such a young team, it would be easy for them to have a meltdown at this point in the season.

The Giants, on the other hand, are a veteran team that understand the importance of bouncing back after getting beaten by the Steelers last week. 

Considering the fact that the Bengals have struggled to stop the pass all season, Manning should have no difficulty in picking apart this defense on his way to a convincing victory.

Atlanta Falcons (-3) over New Orleans Saints

After starting the season 0-4 the Saints have been commendable in rebounding to get their mark to 3-5 on the season. However, the Atlanta Falcons should still win this one going away.

As much as Drew Brees has effectively taken charge of the offense and made it a dangerous unit once again, the Saints defense is still pitiful in nearly every regard.

Twenty-ninth against the pass, dead last in rush defense, the Saints defense hasn't been able to stop anyone. The defense put together a good performance last week, but any accomplishments against the Eagles have to be called into question—Andy Reid and the offensive line need no help stopping their offense.

The Falcons have had their fair share of close calls this season, but this shouldn't be one of them. Brees will give the Saints a chance, but Matt Ryan has been playing at an elite level all season and should pull out the win even in a shootout with the better defense.
