NFL Week 10

The Game Room
1

And just like that, there are no 1-loss teams. The Steelers built a big lead and hung on to defeat the Colts, while the Panthers, who were double-digit underdogs, shocked the Packers in Lambeau. The Vikings upset the Lions in Detroit, while the Broncos won a defensive struggle in Houston. The Bears beat the Bengals in a shootout, the Chargers held on to beat the Titans, and Arizona snapped a 5-game losing streak in Dallas. And the Bills defeated the Chiefs for the fifth straight time…in the regular season.

The Broncos host the Raiders on Thursday night, and the Falcons play the Colts in Berlin early Sunday. The Ravens travel to Minnesota, and the Patriots meet the Bucs in Tampa. The Jags visit the Texans, the Rams are at San Francisco, and the Steelers play at the Chargers on Sunday night. Monday night features a good matchup when the Eagles go to Green Bay.

Blows my mind that the Patriots are doing so well. Bucs are just 2.5 point favorites at home.

Wonder what the line on that game was a month ago.

3

According to the ESPN Power Ratings, the Bucs are the #4 team in the league, while the Pats are #8. Pats are tied with the Colts and Broncos for the best record in the AFC.

Yeah, I’m not sure that anybody saw this coming. Especially after opening the season with a loss to the Raiders at home.

4

Among the trade deadline deals, Indianapolis acquired CB Sauce Gardner from the Jets in exchange for the Colts’ 2026 and 2027 first round picks, and WR AD Mitchell.

5

Weird to see the Jets favored.

6

This is from ESPN regarding the Jets-Cowboys trade:

“Cowboys get: DT Quinnen Williams
Jets get: DT Mazi Smith, 2026 second-round pick, 2027 first-round pick

Cowboys’ grade: F
Jets’ grade: A

There’s no other way to put it: this is a horrific trade for the Cowboys.”

7

This spread is interesting, and weird. Yes, the Packers are only a half-game worse than the Eagles, but Green Bay has been inconsistent, and is now missing one of their best offensive weapons (TE Tucker Kraft).

8

Agreed. Particularly after the Pack lost to the Panthers. At home.
