NFL Week 10 Predictions: Red-Hot Teams That Will Continue to Roll with Wins

Like most sports leagues, the NFL is a league of streaks. While the elite teams tend to consistently win throughout the season, most other teams go through hot and cold stretches. Many teams are in the midst of such streaks as we speak.

Continuing a hot streak can go a long way in helping a team qualify for the playoffs come season's end. Here are three red-hot teams on a winning streak that will continue to roll past their competition in Week 10.

Houston Texans

After losing stud wide receiver Andre Johnson to a hamstring injury, the Houston Texans went through a tough stretch that saw them lose a couple consecutive games. The Texans have bounced back with three straight wins, however, even without the services of Johnson.

Houston will have the opportunity to make it a perfect calendar month with a win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

The Bucs are a tough team to figure out, but they are capable of playing brilliantly so it won't be easy to beat them on the road.

Tampa Bay has been extremely weak against the run this season, however, and that plays into Houston's hands. The combination of Arian Foster and Ben Tate has been running wild lately, and I think they will continue to do so in a Houston victory.

Baltimore Ravens

Just a few weeks ago many considered the Baltimore Ravens to be the unquestioned top team in the AFC.

An embarrassing loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars changed that, but the Ravens have since turned things around with consecutive wins, including a triumph over the Pittsburgh Steelers last week. Their good fortune seems likely to continue against the scuffling Seattle Seahawks this week.

Seattle tends to play much better at home and the Ravens play down to their opponents, but I think Baltimore learned its lesson a few weeks back. The Seahawks have absolutely nothing going for them on offense, so Baltimore's dominant defense should have little issue holding up.

Also, quarterback Joe Flacco and the offense will continue to surge against Seattle.

Green Bay Packers

The Green Bay Packers are one of the rare teams that have been on a season-long hot streak as they are the only remaining undefeated team in the NFL. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has picked up where he left off last season as he seems to have become the league's best signal caller.

Regardless of who they play, the Packers are capable of scoring at will. That should continue this week against the Minnesota Vikings.

Green Bay only beat Minnesota by six points a few weeks ago, but in the confines of Lambeau Field, I don't think the Packers will have much of a problem. Minnesota's pass defense has been an issue all season and I think Rodgers will take advantage of that once again.

Green Bay's defense hasn't been particularly good either, but provided they can keep running back Adrian Peterson in check, rookie quarterback Christian Ponder doesn't yet have the tools to get the job done.
