Week 10 in the NFL

With the last bye weeks of the NFL season finally here, this week is the last week where there will be any type of rest for teams. The rest of the season will be full desperate times for many of the teams so do not be surprised when the desperate measures come out, the 4th and 6 conversions or the fake punts. For the last subtle week in the NFL 2 of the major matchups are Buffalo visiting New England and the New York Giants visiting the Philadelphia Eagles.

The first of these games is the battle for the AFC East. With 3 of the 4 teams in this division being 5-3 and the 4th being 4-4 this division is tight, to say the least. The Bills and the Patriots are both 5-3 and sitting tied at the top of the division but not after this week. This week the bills are comming of back to back losses and the Patriots are comming off of a loss to the Colts. Both teams have a lot to play for this week but with the home field advantage and the 9th ranked defense look for the Patriots to win in a close battle at Gillette Stadium. The Patriots should win by 3 in this divisional rivalry game.

The second game, the Giants vs the Eagles should also be a shootout. The Giants have the 2nd ranked offense and the 4th ranked defense but that will not be a problem for the pass happy Eagles. The Giants secondary is a bit banged up with Dockery and Butler both out. If the Eagles come out passing, which it looks like they will, and the crowd gets into the game, the Eagles can pull of the upset. In this game I have the Eagles by 6.
