Nuts Nissim's NFL Picks Week 10.2

So, I know the Bears/Niners game was for this week, but I had to do the pick last week....don't like those Thursday Night games. Throws off the regular order of things.
This past week was pretty bad, but I'll suck it up and continue onward. Oh, and you should check out The League on FX...

Week 10 (less one)

Buffalo at Tennessee
Bills rank second in NFL with 15 interceptions. Titans are favored with the points. So I looked back at my picks. I'm pretty screwed here. When I pick the Bills, they lose, and when I don't they win. Maybe I can break the streak.
Buffalo

Denver at Washington
You almost have to feel sorry for Jim Zorn and the Redskins...nah, they're in the same division as the Giants.
Denver

Tampa Bay at Miami
I prefer Fake Fish's Ricky Williams and South Beach to Tampa.
Miami

Jacksonville at NY Jets
Both teams are 4-4. I'm feeling sentimental toward a New York team since the G-Men aren't playing this week.
NY Jets

Cincinnati at Pittsburgh
Steelers made a nice showing against the Broncos last week. Steelers' home record of 220-83-1 (.725) since NFL merger in 1970 is league's best.
Pittsburgh

New Orleans at St. Louis
Saints are averaging NFL-leading 37.9 point and have scored 30 or more four straight games, tying franchise best. Isn't there a mercy rule in the NFL?
New Orleans

Atlanta at Carolina
A battle for the South. It will probably go the Falcons way, but I like cats better than birds.
Carolina

Detroit at Minnesota
Lions: 1-7; Vikings: 7-1. Lions had their win for the season. Vikings QB Brett Favre is hanging in there pretty good for an old guy.
Minnesota

Kansas City at Oakland
Maybe the Raiders can win something after coming off the bye.
Oakland

Dallas at Green Bay
Dallas QB Tony Romo was raised in Burlington, Wis. If the game is in the same state, does that qualify as a homecoming? I'm hoping for cold weather.
Green Bay

Philadelphia at San Diego
Eagles haven't played in San Diego since Oct. 18, 1998, when they were one of four teams to lose to Ryan Leaf. Chargers won 13-10 that day. Ew, ouch.
San Diego

Seattle at Arizona

Seahawks QB Matt Hasselbeck's 39 completions (in 51 attempts) last week against Detroit set franchise record. Wow, that was against the Lions.
Arizona


New England at Indianapolis
Colts QB Peyton Manning can pass Fran Tarkenton for fourth on NFL career list for victories (125) with win. ... Manning needs three TD passes to become first player in league history with 300 TD passes in a decade. That's nice. Wasn't happy with what I saw last week coming out of Manning and I'm not a big Brady person. This could be close.
Indianapolis

Baltimore at Cleveland
Well, one bright spot is that the Browns are the least penalized team right now. So when they lose against the Poe Boys, who have lost their last 5 Monday Night Games, they will do it without the help of the refs.
Baltimore


Season stats:

Last week: 7-8

Season: 83-47
