Game By Game: Week 10

By Ryan Schoon

R.I.P. Smokin' Joe Frazier....Thank you, Champ!

Alright....back to a full schedule AND a Thursday game!  So get your line-ups in early.  I love Thursday NFL....

OAK at SD | NO at ATL | DET at CHI | PIT at CIN | STL at CLE | BUF at DAL | JAX at IND | DEN at KC
WAS at MIA | ARI at PHI | HOU at TB | TEN at CAR | BAL at SEA | NYG at SF | NE at NYJ | MIN at GB

Summary:  I like a high scoring game....Palmer isn't settled all the way in yet judging from the 3 picks he tossed last week but the 3 TD's was encouraging.  Palmer will need another week or two and he should have everything down and back to football shape.  Rivers to VJack and Gates is back and rolling at full force and I like it!  I'll take the home team this week by 7.  Ryan Mathews status is in question so right now we'll go with Tolbert as the main back....same with McFadden and Bush.

Summary:  Saints on the road?  Oh hell now...I'm taking the Falcons and I like Roddy White to finally put up some solid fantasy numbers and I like Turner to hit the century mark.  On the Saints side I like Sproles, Colston and Graham to all score.  I'll hit Mark Ingram's status on updated game by game for you.

Summary:  Lions are averaging 29.9 points per game this year and I don't see much changing against the Bears.  What I do see is that Lions D Line crushing Cutler's offensive line and causing a whole lot of problems.  I do like a Lions defensive score as well.  Forte should find room on the Lions if they can get him the ball in space.  Cutler should be on his back most of the game looking up at god and asking for help!

Summary:  Tough game to call here.  The Steelers D gave up a 2:00 drive at home to lose last week and that almost never happens.  There are just a whole lot of questions around the Steelers right now and the fact is that Andy Dalton, AJ Green and Ced Benson have this offense moving and the Bengals D playing well.  I'm taking the Bengals at home.

Summary:  Rams get their second win of the season!  The Browns are just so bad it's hard to get excited about this game.  I like SJax to run wild and Bradford to hit Lloyd for a score.  McCoy to Cribbs is heating up so Cribbs could be a good play this week against the Rams D but that Rams D-Line is playing pretty good and could pressure McCoy.  I'll take the Rams on the road.

Summary:    Yeah, I like the Bills....I like Fred Jackson especially in this game against that Cowboy run D.  Dallas will have problems stopping Jackson, Stevie Johnson and Fitzpatrick.  On the other side of the coin the Bills will have a really tough time shutting down DeMarco Murray...kid has skills.  Romo is the wild card and he's without Miles Austin for the next 2-4, leaning toward the 4 (as in 4 weeks out).  I like the Bills on the road.

Summary:  I like the Jags defense way better than the Colts therefore I like the Jags to win this game.  MJD should be huge for you and Gabbert should hit for one as well.  Painter was benched last game but I think they'll come back to him for the start this week.  Donald Brown and Pierre Garcon are about the only viable fantasy options on the Colts at this point.

17

Summary:  Well...Tebow didn't suck last week, in fact just the opposite.  I think Willis McGahee will have a big game again and I like Tebow to Decker and Tebow running is just tough to stop.  KC is on again off again but I think Cassel will toss a pick or two that will end up costing KC the game.  This should be a good hard fought game.

 Summary:   Really?  Skins suck...Dolphins suck...so who will suck the least?  hahahahahaha!  I think Miami will suck the least but they don't like playing at home for some reason.  I think they'll snap out of that just because the Skins suck so bad.  Helu the bright spot for the Skins.  Moore, Bush and Mashall all nice games for the Dolphins.

 Summary:  Tough loss for the Eagles on Monday night.  Vick and company just couldn't get it going.  Well....that's all about to change!  The Cards D really has no answer for Vick running and throwing to DJack and Maclin.  I like the Eagles to dominate this game and win easily at home.

 Summary:  Loving this match-up....tough schedule run for the Bucs but it is what it is.  I think Andre Johnson will be back this week...I think this game has been the target all along.  Now, that's just my read on it, no confirmed sources or anything like that.  Now if Andre doesn't play give his stats to Jones and Walter.

27

 Summary:   I like Cam and the Panthers in this one.  I like Stewart for a score and Steve Smith for a big game.  I think it's clear the Titans (especially CJ) miss Kenny Britt more and more each week.  I think that is part of CJ's problem...no real deep threat to stretch the field and open up running lanes.  Hasselbeck can't be expected to do it all at his age...Panthers at home get the win.  Cam pads his stats....

 Summary:  Okay, so Flacco has had 2 good games all year and they were against the Steelers....good time to play your best right?  I like the Ravens in this one.  I think Ray, Ray and company shut down Lynch and get after Jackson.  Ray Rice runs for a country mile even though the Seattle D is "supposed" to be good against the run (you saw what a good running back did last week to that defense right?  DeMarco crushed them....Flacco will toss a couple TD's and a pick or two but the Ravens win.

 Summary:  I like the Niners and their defense but Alex Smith hasn't set the world on fire...he manages a good game at this point and if called upon to win a game with his arm I don't think he can do it.  Eli, on the other hand proved he could do it.  Traveling out the the West coast could hurt the G-men but I'm still picking them to win this game.  Will update Nicks and Bradshaw on updated Game By Game.

 Summary:  Another tough loss coming for the Pats.  You know Rick and I talked this Monday morning about the mind set of the Pats...WHY would you bring in that box of rocks Ochocinco who clearly can't pick this offense up and leave Randy Moss in retirement?  Moss would at least have an impact.  Anyway....I like the Jets to win this at home.  The Pats just don't look right to me and it all starts with Brady.  Pressure has been getting to him and defenders have gotten in his face.  Let the slide begin......

 Summary:  I fully expect a blowout.  Pack, at home against a Viking team that just doesn't have the talent level of the Pack.  Rodgers will throw for a ton on this defense as long as the O-line keeps Allen off him.  I do like Ponder to find some passing room and of course AP gets a score but trying to match Green Bay score for score would be foolish....not many can keep up with that pace.  Pack roll......
