Ravens (6-2) @ Falcons (6-2), Thursday, 8:20PM ET
The best game on the Week 10 schedule and nobody will get to see if because it’ll be on the NFL Network. What a shame. The Falcons are 4-0 at home this year and have only lost once at the Georgia Dome when Matt Ryan starts. The Falcons’ secondary better be up for the challenge because the Ravens definitely have an advantage against the 26th overall pass defense in the league. Atlanta has the sixth-best run defense in the league but if it can’t stop Joe Flacco and Anquan Boldin then it’ll be a long night in the dirty south.
CURRENT ODDS: FALCONS –1
Patriots (6-2) @ Steelers (6-2), Sunday, 8:20PM ET
After that debacle last week with the Cowboys in Green Bay, NBC deserves this matchup on Sunday night. The Patriots may have been caught looking ahead to this game when they were crushed by the Browns last weekend in Cleveland. Bill Belichick’s teams usually don’t play poorly two weeks in a row but Pittsburgh’s defense has a way of making opponents look bad. That said, the Steelers have a mess of injuries on their offensive line and while New England isn’t a great pass rushing team, the Pats may have an advantage down in the trenches. No offense to the Colts or Ravens, but will this be a matchup of the AFC title game?
CURRENT ODDS: STEELERS –4.5
Eagles (5-3) @ Redskins (4-4), Monday, 8:30PM ET
If Donovan McNabb wants to shut his critics up and prove to Mike Shanahan that he should be the only one taking snaps this year for the Redskins, then a win against the Eagles on Monday night would go a long way. He beat his former team earlier in the season but that was when Michael Vick left the game with a rib injury. Assuming Vick stays healthy, things could play out much differently this Monday in D.C. Perhaps no quarterback is playing as well as Vick is now, but he’ll face a pissed off McNabb that had two weeks to stew over Shanahan’s ridiculous decision to play Rex Grossman in the final minutes of a loss to the Lions in Week 8. Buckle your chip strap because we’re about to have an ol’ fashioned NFC East showdown in Washington this week.
CURRENT ODDS: EAGLES -3
Titans (5-3) @ Dolphins (4-4), Sunday, 1:00PM ET
Outside of the Steelers, no team has attempted less passes this year than the Tennessee Titans. Considering Randy Moss can get a little cranky when he doesn’t get enough looks in the passing game, things might get a little tense in Tennessee over the remainder of the year. That said, there’s no doubt that Moss makes the Titans’ more dangerous and teams won’t be able to stack the box in order to take away Chris Johnson. They just better make sure that Moss sees his fair share of passes or else things could get real ugly in a hurry.
