NFL week 10

This NFL season is flying by as we enter week 10.  We have some good story lines though as Matt Ryan and Tony Gonzalez lead the undefeated Atlanta Falcons, the Houston Texans are having their best start in franchise history, the New York Giants are good and had a 6-2 first half can they avoid another second half collapse and win 10-12 games (I hope so), the Chicago bears have a fearsome defense.
Week 10 picks:
1)  The New England Patriots and Tom Brady usually find a way on offense but you can score on that somewhat porous defense,  the Buffalo Bills have a 5-3 record but the injury bug has bit them lately.  The Patriots are the better team in this on, I'll take the New England Patriots (-11) over the Buffalo Bills up in Foxboro.  New England Patriots -11
2)  The Oakland Raiders are not a very good 3-5 team, the Baltimore Ravens are a good team that despite some injuries on the defensive side of the ball normally has a good D.  I'll take the Baltimore Ravens (-7.5) at home in this one over the Oakland Raiders. Baltimore Ravens -7.5 
3)  The San Francisco 49ers are on the cusp of being one of the best teams in the NFL, while the St. Louis Rams have yet to put it all together.  I like the San Francisco 49ers (-11) over the St. Louis Rams in San Fran.  San Francisco 49ers -11
4) The New York Jets have had a week off to regroup and maybe figure out how to use Tim Tebow in the offense more.  The Jets have had injuries on both sides of the ball and a sputtering offense at times, this weeks game is in Seattle to play the Seahawks where they have the benefit of the 12th man and Russell Wilson has been I think a surprise.  I'll take the Seattle Seahawks (-6) at home in Seattle over the NY Jets.  Seattle Seahawks -6  
5)  The New York Giants had a 10 point lead going into the final quarter last week and Pittsburgh scored 10 unanswered to win, were the Giants not as prepared maybe Hurricane Sandy might have had something to do with them not being as prepare but once your on the field its all X and O's and numbers and angles.  The NY Giants have to get right in a hurry and win one before their bye week, we don't want to spend the week talking about a second half collapse.  The Giants play a Cincinnati Bengals teams that isn't playing great on both sides of the ball.  I believe the Giants can get right and they'll do it this week going int the bye, I'll take the NY Giants (-3.5) over the Bengals in Cincinnati.  NY Giants -3.5
