NFL Pick ‘Em Pools
These pools are really easy to use and allow you to have action for the entire NFL season with just one entry fee. For the season-long pools, each week you will go back to the pool and pick five games on the slate against the spread. Each correct selection is worth one point. You will also be given one “skip week” during the season, where you don’t need to make picks if you don’t have a good feel for that slate. That way, even if you have one bad week, you are still in contention in the contest. You can also play the weekly pools, where you pick every featured game against the spread.
Every week of the regular season, I will be giving out my five favorite selections, along with my leans for every other game on the slate.
Week 10 Picks
Buccaneers -2.5 vs. Patriots — The Buccaneers are 6-2 and coming off a well-timed bye week. Tampa Bay had been scraping by and finding ways to win despite an injured roster. Tampa Bay had time to get healthy, but even with some skill position players expected to miss another week, Baker Mayfield also had time to work with his young receivers, who have been given a bigger target share.
Baker Mayfield was playing at an MVP level earlier this season, and the bye week should have him back at a high level. Meanwhile, the Patriots survived last week against the Falcons on a missed extra point. However, the Falcons showed how pressure on Drake Maye can rattle the young quarterback, who has been so great this season. This spot sets up perfectly for Tampa Bay, and it should get the win at home.
49ers +3.5 vs. Rams — Kyle Shanahan is 11-6 SU against the Rams as the 49ers head coach. That includes an overtime win when the teams faced off earlier this season. That win came on the road when San Francisco was decimated by injuries. The 49ers are still dealing with a lot of the same injuries, but they do have George Kittle back, with Ricky Pearsall questionable to return this week. The Rams are surging, but with so much familiarity between these teams, it is likely to be a close game once again.
Another key factor in this game is special teams. Eddy Pineiro is a perfect 19-for-19 on the season, while Rams kicker Joshua Karty has missed more kicks than anyone in the NFL. Shanahan has gotten the better of Sean McVay over the years, especially as an underdog. He should find a way to keep this one tight as well.
Packers -2.5 vs. Eagles — The Packers and the Eagles are two of the top six teams on the odds board to win the Super Bowl at DraftKings Sportsbook. These two teams have a great chance to face off in the NFC Playoffs, potentially even the NFC Championship Game. The Packers have one of the best offenses in football, ranking third in offensive EPA/play. Their defense has also been a different beast at home. While they are allowing 25.3 points per game on the road, they are giving up just 16.3 points per game in Green Bay.
The Packers’ defense should slow the Eagles down, allowing Jordan Love to win this game with the offense. Jordan Love has thrived in big spots in his career, with a 4-1 SU and ATS record in night games at Lambeau Field. Meanwhile, Jalen Hurts has failed to cover in four straight games on Monday Night Football.
Ravens -3.5 at Vikings — The Ravens are all the way back. Tyler Huntley got the team a massive win over the Bears two weeks ago, then Lamar Jackson dominated the Dolphins in his return last week. This team cannot afford to take any weeks off as it looks to get back into the AFC North title race. The Vikings picked up a nice win by the skin of their teeth last week against the Lions. They are finding ways to win in bizarre fashion despite some poor play from J.J. McCarthy. The Ravens should correct that trend and take care of business here.
Minnesota ranks 28th in offensive EPA/play and lacks the firepower to hang with the Ravens. Under Kevin O’Connell, the Vikings are 0-5 ATS the week after facing the Lions. He often unloads the clip against his division rivals and the defense is tired after such a tough matchup. Derrick Henry should pound the rock here, while the Ravens win and cover.
Falcons +6 vs. Colts — The Falcons and Colts are facing off in Berlin this week. The Falcons are a disappointing 3-5 on the season. However, they have now missed out on overtime against the Patriots on a missed extra point and missed out on overtime against the Buccaneers on a missed field goal. Atlanta also lost a winnable game that it had to play without Michael Penix Jr. and Drake London. This team is better than its record reflects, and it should keep it close against the Colts. Daniel Jones was exposed by the Steelers last week, making him look like the Giants’ version of himself once again. He now faces the NFL’s best pass defense by opponent yards per game. Atlanta could get after Jones and force mistakes, just like Pittsburgh did.
On the other side of the ball, Atlanta should be able to run it. It has faced three of the best rush defenses in football this year by EPA/rush, the 49ers, Falcons and Buccaneers. Its offense is not the same when Bijan Robinson can’t get cooking and open up the passing game. Against the Colts, Robinson should have success. Indianapolis ranks 15th in defensive EPA/rush and 24th in defensive rushing success rate. The Atlanta defense should slow down the Colts and score enough to keep this thing close.
