With just over half the season over, we’re now in a mad dash to the end. There’s been a lot of talk about parity in the NFL, and it’s surprising to see that all 32 teams are still technically in the mix and realistically we have up to 24 teams that could still make the playoffs depending on how these final games play out.
The big story entering Week 10 is the injuries. The league is absolutely rife with it, and that could define the end of the season. In Green Bay, the Packers will have to adjust without Tucker Kraft, who tore his ACL in Week 9. The Commanders’ season effectively ended with Jayden Daniels’ dislocated elbow. Then we add some temporary intrigue with a team like Tampa Bay, which is still reeling from the loss of Mike Evans, but in Week 10 also has to deal with Bucky Irving, Chris Godwin and Haason Reddick all scared and potentially missing a key game against the Patriots.
Bottom line: It’s anyone’s season, and it’s impossible to predict what will happen in the NFL each week; just ask the Vikings and Panthers, who beat the Lions and Packers respectively.
Here are our picks in Week 10.
