NFL Week 10 Picks: Looking at Underdogs with Best Shots at Upsets

Upsets are probably my favorite part of the NFL. 

Yes, they usually make my predictions look stupid, but on Sundays witnessing the high drama is worth it. 

Can these three underdogs pull off another upset in Week 10?

Denver Broncos (over Kansas City Chiefs) 

So much for that Chiefs winning streak. 

I mean, I knew it wasn't going to last the remainder of the season, but to get beat down by the winless Dolphins 31-3 at home was about the worst way to end it. 

It looks like the Broncos coaching staff has developed a game plan to tailor to Tim Tebow's unconventional style that features a lot of running. 

The Chiefs rank dead last in the NFL in sacks so the polarizing quarterback should get time to throw the ball from the pocket. 

That's a good thing, right? 

Divisional games are usually close and the when Broncos beat the Raiders on the road last week, I realized that anything is possible in the NFL. 

St. Louis Rams (over Cleveland Browns) 

Neither team is going to light up the stat book offensively, as this game features the 29th- and 31st-ranked scoring teams in the NFL. 

The Rams are three-point underdogs on the road, meaning these teams are essentially even. 

Cleveland has a much better defense than the Rams (who have the 32nd-ranked run defense in football) but it's safe to say that St. Louis has more firepower on offense with Steven Jackson and Brandon Lloyd. 

It won't be pretty, but the Rams could certainly leave Cleveland with their second win of the season. 

The return of Sam Bradford should help, too. 

New England Patriots (over New York Jets) 

The Patriots are only one-point dogs on the road this week, and although the Jets have all the momentum coming in, we are still dealing with Tom Brady here. 

He has been flustered in his last three contests, but if there's any quarterback I'm counting on to bounce back it's No. 12. 

New York will throw some exotic looks at him and to counter, I expect Bill Belichick to add some new wrinkles to the passing game. 

Don't forget about BenJarvus Green-Ellis, who had 136 yards on the ground in the first matchup.
