All betting lines taken from sportsbook.com.
Jacksonville Jaguars (-3) at Indianapolis Colts
1 of 6The Jacksonville Jaguars may be 2-6 overall and 0-4 on the road, but their Week 10 opponent, the Indianapolis Colts, are 0-9 and just plain awful.
The Jaguars are coming off of their bye week which means they'll be well-rested. Rookie quarterback Blaine Gabbert will have benefited from the bye week, and running back Maurice Jones-Drew will be too much for the Colts' defense.
In the last three weeks alone, the Colts have been outscored 120-24, and things won't get any easier in Week 10. Expect the Jaguars' defense to have a similar shutdown performance to Week 7 against the Baltimore Ravens.
In the end, the Jaguars will just be too much for the stumbling Colts.
Prediction: Jaguars 24, Colts 10
Washington Redskins at Miami Dolphins (-3.5)
2 of 6After being left for dead, the 1-7 Miami Dolphins now have life. Week 10 brings the 3-5 Washington Redskins to town, and the Dolphins look to thrive.
These teams are headed in opposite directions as the Dolphins surprised everyone in Week 9 with a win at Arrowhead Stadium against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Dolphins broke out of their season-long slump with a 31-point performance. Quarterback Matt Moore silenced critics in Week 9 with 244 yards and three touchdowns. He now has his teammates believing in him.
The Redskins are headed nowhere fast. They've lost four straight games and are in shambles. Injuries have decimated the Redskins, and they're not much of a threat on offense.
The Dolphins will win their second straight game with ease in Week 10 as the Redskins won't be able to generate enough offense to pose a threat.
Prediction: Dolphins 23, Redskins 10
Baltimore Ravens (-7) at Seattle Seahawks
3 of 6The 6-2 Baltimore Ravens appear to be over their up-and-down play as they travel to play the 2-6 Seattle Seahawks.
The Seahawks have lost three straight games as they continuously struggle on offense. They've only scored 28 points since their Week 6 bye. Week 9 against the Dallas Cowboys brought three interceptions from quarterback Tarvaris Jackson, and Week 10 will bring the vaunted Ravens defense to town.
The Ravens offense has looked impressive their last six quarters and will maintain their positive play in Seattle. Ravens' quarterback Joe Flacco now has two reliable receiving threats in Anquan Boldin and Torrey Smith, along with the always-dependable Ray Rice.
The Ravens' tough defense combined with an improving offense will be too much for the Seahawks in Week 10.
Prediction: Ravens 31, Seahawks 13
Houston Texans (-3) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
4 of 6The 6-3 Houston Texans are on a roll as they head into Week 10's matchup against the 4-4 Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Texans have the best running back duo in the NFL in Arian Foster and Ben Tate while the Buccaneers allowed the New Orleans Saints to rack up 195 rushing yards in Week 9. This doesn't bode well for the Bucs. Foster and Tate each have over 600 yards apiece on the season and combined for 239 yards in Week 9 alone.
The Buccaneers' defense allows 132.4 yards per game on the ground, and this will be their demise in Week 10.
The Texans will control the tempo by running the ball and will win this game.
Prediction: Texans 34, Buccaneers 17
Buffalo Bills at Dallas Cowboys (-5.5)
5 of 6The 4-4 Dallas Cowboys host the 5-3 Buffalo Bills in Week 10 as both teams face a must-win situation.
The Cowboys look to have a strong second half after a rocky first half of the season, and the Bills look to avoid losing their second straight game.
This battle will go in favor of the Cowboys because they've found a secret weapon in rookie running back DeMarco Murray.
In his first three games as the starting running back, Murray has 466 yards and is explosive on every play. He's averaging 8.5 yards per carry. The Bills' defense allows 120.8 rushing yards per game as Murray should feast again in Week 10.
Even without star receiver Miles Austin, Cowboys' quarterback Tony Romo has tight end Jason Witten and wide receiver Dez Bryant to catch his passes. The Cowboys are now balanced on offense and look to put up points.
The Bills are only 1-2 on the road this season as this is their first of three straight road games. Their bubble will begin to burst in Dallas.
Prediction: Cowboys 27, Bills 17
Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers (-13.5)
6 of 6Sure, the 2-6 Minnesota Vikings and 8-0 Green Bay Packers may have played a close game the first time they met in Week 7, but it won't even be close in Week 10.
The Packers escaped with a 33-27 win in Minnesota as fans were surprised that the Vikings were able to hang around. This time around will be a bit different as Vikings' rookie quarterback Christian Ponder makes his first venture into Lambeau Field.
While it's true that the Packers allow opposing quarterbacks nearly 300 yards per game through the air, Ponder only averages 184.6. The Vikings' strength is their running game, but the Packers only allow 100 yards per game on the ground.
The Packers' offense, led by all-world quarterback Aaron Rodgers, will be too hot to handle for the Vikings in Week 10.
Given, the Vikings' defense, piloted by defensive end Jared Allen, will pressure Rodgers, but Rodgers is just too good right now not to pad his stats. The Vikings allow opposing quarterbacks to throw for 273.6 yards per game which means Rodgers will throw for at least 350 yards.
The Packers are the NFL's best right now, and the Vikings won't be up to the challenge.
Prediction: Packers 38, Vikings 20
