NFL Week 10 Picks: Predictions for Every Primetime Game

After a few rather dysfunctional games in primetime, we've been treated to some compelling football under the lights over the last couple of weeks. 

Week 10 should continue the trend, with the Patriots traveling to MetLife Stadium to take on the Jets on Sunday night and the Vikings taking the trip to Lambeau Field to square off against the undefeated defending Super Bowl champion Packers the following evening.

Let's take a closer look at both these games and give a prediction as to how these divisional games will shake out.

Talk about story lines. This game is full of them. Then again, it's Patriots-Jets; when doesn't this game occur without a ton of hype?

The Patriots defense has been its biggest weakness this season, but in their last three games, Tom Brady's offense hasn't been able to put points on the board at the same pace they did early in the season. 

Maybe teams followed the complex game plan Rex Ryan employed on the Patriots last year in the playoffs? 

I fully expect Bill Belichick and Brady to work together to tweak their offensive attack against a team that has had more success against them than any other team the last few seasons. 

Mark Sanchez is playing efficiently, but can he really out-duel Brady late in the fourth quarter of a close game? 

Don't forget about BenJarvus Green-Ellis, who had a fantastic game against the Jets in the first meeting of the year. 

Patriots squeak by.

The Vikings got off to a hot start the last time these two clubs met, then it was Aaron Rodgers' time. Adrian Peterson ran wild to the tune of 175 yards but in the end, Christian Ponder wasn't up to the challenge of dethroning the champs. 

I think more of the same happens on Sunday. 

The Vikings will keep it closer than many expect, mainly due to Peterson and Ponder, who's more comfortable as a starter today, but they don't have enough offensive firepower to stick with the Packers, who are operating in a totally different stratosphere right now.
