With the Ravens derailed season paused for the bye week, the Baltimore Beatdown writers continue to predict the rest of the NFL matchups in Week 10. There are more consensus picks than earlier in the year, as top-tier teams are separating themselves further from the pack as the season progresses.

An analysis of the Baltimore Beatdown staff picks
Consensus winners
- The Saints defeat the Bengals (NO -5.5)
- The Chiefs dominate the Cardinals (KC -16.5)
- The Patriots continue their winning ways against the Titans (NE -6.5)
- The Chargers beat the struggling Raiders (LAC -9.5)
- The Packers get back on track against the Dolphins (GB -9.5)
- The Rams rebound with a win over the Seahawks (LAR -9.5)
Baltimore will need help from New Orleans to keep the Bengals from distancing themselves in the wild card race. Coming off a marquee win over the Rams, the Saints are one of the hottest offenses in the league and added another weapon in wide receiver Dez Bryant this week. Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City should make slight work of the anemic Cardinals. In typical New England fashion, the Patriots slow start is a thing of the past and their win streak should extend to seven after Week 10.
Oakland has been a disaster in Jon Gruden’s return, and the Chargers are an under recognized 6-2. Despite the Packers dropping the Rodgers v. Brady battle, the Dolphins are limping into Week 10 with an ugly win over the Jets. While the Rams undefeated campaign has come to an end, Seattle has been inconsistent and is a disappointing .500 on the season.
‘Lone wolf’ picks
- Jake is the only writer to predict the Bills to win against the Jets (NYJ -6.5)
- Logan is alone in his confidence that the Cowboys beat the Eagles (PHI -7.0)
Even though the Jets only have one more win than Buffalo, the gap between Sam Darnold and the Bills quarterback room is vast and should propel the Jets to victory this week. Trading for Amari Cooper is simply not enough to fix the Cowboys decline in the NFC East standings. With the fan base calling for major changes in Dallas, the Eagles are well positioned to pick up a critical divisional win.
