NFL Week 10 Picks: Predictions for Every Game

The stakes have been raised as 28 NFL teams gear up for action in Week 10. While teams like Seattle and Denver continue to march toward playoff berths, others find themselves on the brink and in dire need of victory.

At 0-8, the Jacksonville Jaguars' and Tampa Bay Buccaneers' goals have clearly changed for the second half of the season. But for many of the other teams on the outside looking in on the playoff picture, Week 10 offers another chance to seize momentum and begin a postseason push.

Here's an early look at my predictions for every Week 10 matchup, including three under-the-radar teams poised to pick up crucial wins this weekend. 

Matchup/Prediction	Comments
Washington Redskins 34, Minnesota Vikings 31	The Vikings' season has been lost, and this is a game the Redskins have to win if they hope to return to the playoffs. Look for RG3 to light up Minnesota's horrid secondary.
Green Bay Packers 27, Philadelphia Eagles 17	Like Seattle and New Orleans, Green Bay doesn't lose at home. The Packers have dominated at Lambeau thus far, winning by 18, 13 and 18 points.
Seattle Seahawks 20, Atlanta Falcons 14	Matt Ryan was the only thing Atlanta had to feel good about, but he's tossed seven interceptions over the past two weeks and looks to be sinking with the ship.
Detroit Lions 24, Chicago Bears 23	Detroit's offense had tons of success against Chicago in the first meeting earlier this year. The 40 points scored was a season high for the Lions.
Tennessee Titans 38, Jacksonville Jaguars 17	The Titans can be scary if Chris Johnson is getting into the second level. The winless Jaguars are scary for all the wrong reasons.
Indianapolis Colts 27, St. Louis Rams 20	The Colts are beginning to look like championship contenders in the AFC, while St. Louis hasn't been able to win without Sam Bradford.
New York Giants 30, Oakland Raiders 21	See below
Pittsburgh Steelers 26, Buffalo Bills 17	Pittsburgh has played four of its last five games on the road and is sure to benefit from a home game in Week 10. Meanwhile, Buffalo's quarterback concerns are too big to ignore.
Baltimore Ravens 17, Cincinnati Bengals 13	See below
San Francisco 49ers 23, Carolina Panthers 20	In what's sure to be a defensive struggle, the Niners have the edge playing at home. San Francisco is coming off a bye and riding a five-game winning streak.
Houston Texans 24, Arizona Cardinals 21	Case Keenum lit up the Colts defense in Week 9 and should have similar success against the Cardinals' 23rd-ranked pass defense.
Denver Broncos 36, San Diego Chargers 28	Denver's top-ranked passing attack should outlast San Diego's fourth-ranked unit. The Broncos will be rested coming off a bye.
New Orleans Saints 34, Dallas Cowboys 27	The Saints don't lose at home, and the Cowboys have won just once on the road. It's only right that Dallas enter the bye a mediocre 5-5.
Miami Dolphins 27, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 21	See below

New York Giants 30, Oakland Raiders 21

Winners of two straight, the New York Giants can keep their comeback hopes alive this weekend with a win over the struggling Oakland Raiders.

The Silver and Black are coming off a blowout loss to Philadelphia in Week 9 and are a worrisome 0-3 on the road this season. 

Giants fans also have to be encouraged by New York's drastic improvement in the turnover department. After giving the ball away 23 times through their first six games of the season, the Giants have turned the ball over just twice over their past two games.

Offensively, New York should have plenty of opportunities to attack Oakland's lackluster secondary. 

The Raiders defense is allowing opponents to complete nearly 69 percent of their passes this season, which ranks worst in the NFL. Oakland also ranks 24th in fewest passing yards allowed, and only Minnesota and Buffalo have surrendered more touchdowns through the air in 2013.

Those numbers bode extremely well for Eli Manning and a Giants aerial attack that has posted more than 2,000 yards in eight games. 

Baltimore Ravens 17, Cincinnati Bengals 13

The defending Super Bowl champions will be as desperate as ever in Week 10 when they play host to division rival Cincinnati. Expect that to spell trouble for the Bengals.

Although the AFC North leaders have earned high praise at times in 2013, they're still a vulnerable road team, as their 2-3 mark away from home indicates. Keep in mind that both of Cincy's road wins have come on late field goals. On the other side, only one of Baltimore's five losses this year has come at home.

The Ravens will be back at M&T Bank Stadium for the first time in nearly a month on Sunday, and the significance of that can't be overstated. This is a team desperate for some home cooking.

Meanwhile, key injuries are starting to pile up for the Bengals. They lost talented defensive back Leon Hall for the year in Week 7 and most recently saw dominant defensive tackle Geno Atkins limp off the field with a torn ACL in Week 9.

Watch for the Ravens to exploit those areas on offense and continue to play hard-hitting football on the defensive side on their way to a pivotal division victory.

Miami Dolphins 27, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 21

Thanks to a hot start, the Miami Dolphins are still in the playoff hunt despite a four-game losing streak. After bouncing back against the Cincinnati Bengals on Halloween night, the Fins will look to get above .500 with a win over the lowly Buccaneers.

Tampa Bay is 0-8 on the season and is coming off its most demoralizing loss of the year at Seattle, where the Bucs blew a 21-0 lead and lost in overtime.

What's also discouraging for Greg Schiano's squad is the fact the offense scored a season-high 24 points but still couldn't break through to the win column.

If Miami can continue to keep quarterback Ryan Tannehill upright and get after the opposing passer like it did in Week 9's win over Cincinnati, the Bucs will be in big trouble. The Dolphins' defensive pressure forced Andy Dalton into five sacks (including the game-winning safety) and three interceptions last week.

That's a formula sure to work against rookie Mike Glennon on Monday night.
