With Week 10 of the National Football League beginning tonight, what better way is there to kick it off than with some friendly NFL weekly picks? Today, we are going to go in-depth with four games and give you our projected winners for all. Buckle up as we get started with our Thursday Night Football prediction and round it out with our Monday Night Football winner.
Carolina Panthers (1-7) vs Chicago Bears (2-7)
WBTV
NFL Predictions Winner: Carolina Panthers
Impact Players: Brian Burns, Adam Thielen, Bryce Young
The Carolina Panthers got their first win against the Houston Texans in a top three NFL 2023 draft picks showdown with Bryce Young playing against former Alabama Crimson Tide teammate, Will Anderson and former Ohio State quarterback, C.J. Stroud on October 12th. Even though they have only won one game and the Chicago Bears have won double the Panthers, sitting at two, the Panthers will win this Thursday Night game. For many, this game will be quite uneventful considering how both teams have been struggling all season long. Hopefully, Bryce Young can take advantage of the Bears defensive weaknesses to make some things happen for the offense. Hopefully Brian Burns can break through and get some heavy hits on Bears rookie quarterback, Tyson Bagent, and whoever the Bears decide to put in at running back. Bagent will be in the game in place of usual starter Justin Fields due to a dislocated thumb injury to his throwing hand. Bears starting running back, Khalil Herbert is also questionable to play Thursday. Due to the heavy injury report stacked up against the Chicago Bears, I do believe that Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers will come out with the victory.
Detroit Lions (6-2) vs Los Angeles Chargers (4-4)
Sports Illustrated
NFL Predictions Winner: Detroit Lions
Impact Players: Jahmyr Gibbs, Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown
Coming off a bye week and a nice win against Josh Jacobs and the Las Vegas Raider, the Detroit Lions, and their fanbase should be amped up facing off against Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers, even though this will not be a home game for the Lions. After being recharged off a bye week, many Detroit Lions players will return rejuvenated and ready to face off again. Running back and former Alabama player Jahmyr Gibbs will have another fantastic game against the Chargers. This rejuvenation will occur even though the Lions have not won, coming off a bye week with Dan Campbell as their head coach. Although the Los Angeles Chargers are on a two-week win streak, I still do not think it will be enough to distinguish the Lions in what some journalists call the game of the week. We also should keep our eyes peeled for former Alabama stand-out Brian Branch.
Cleveland Browns (5-3) vs Baltimore Ravens (7-2)
CNN
NFL Predictions Winner: Baltimore Ravens
Impact Players: Lamar Jackson, Zay Flowers
With two exhilarating players in the backfield at quarterback, this game will be a very interesting one. The number one and two teams in the AFC North are having a go at it. The Cleveland Browns are second in the AFC North, and are not going to play lightly. Deshaun Watson has been considered a “game-time decision,” but most are expecting him to get the start against the Ravens. Former Alabama wide receiver, Amari Cooper, will be a big part of the Browns game strategy if they can get things moving in the air. If not, the Browns can always depend on the wheels on quarterback, Watson, and running back, Jerome Ford. Jerome Ford has been the option for the Browns after standout running back, Nick Chubb, suffered a devastating knee injury in only Week 2. Myles Garrett will also be a major contributor to the game on the opposite side of the field. Even with all these perks to the Cleveland Browns, the Baltimore Ravens are still a 6-point favorite, and I would have to agree. I believe that this game will be an old-fashioned showdown. Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens will ultimately take this win for another time. With the offensive line of the Cleveland Browns crumbling with the latest loss of former Alabama tackle, Jedrick Willis, the Ravens will be able to get into the backfield more than the Browns would like. Odell Beckham Jr. is still questionable for this game, but there are still more weapons that Lamar Jackson can utilize like Zay Flowers. The Baltimore Ravens are number one in the AFC North, and they have no intentions of changing that.
New York Jets (4-4) vs Las Vegas Raiders (4-5) (Monday Night Football 11/13)
Pro Football Network
NFL Predictions Winner: New York Jets
Impact Players: Quinnen Williams, C.J. Mosley, Garrett Wilson
Rounding out Week 10 with Monday Night Football, we have the New York Jets vs the Las Vegas Raiders. When speaking of the Jets, we all must remember that this is the only team in the NFL that has defeated the Philadelphia Eagles. That feat obviously does not come easy it takes talent. The Williams brothers, Quinnen and Quincy, will be a major aspect in the Jets’ victory this Sunday. Former Alabama player and NFL veteran, C.J. Mosley will also have a hand in how this game goes. On the opposite side of the ball, Garrett Wilson will continue to make skilled plays and tricky catches. The Las Vegas Raiders should keep their eyes on a swivel especially since benching starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and switching for rookie quarterback Aidan O’Connell. Rookie quarterbacks seem to be an ongoing trend in the NFL.
