I give up! I have to make game predictions every week on the audio version of Inside the Huddle with Jeff Reinebold, and we will highlight our suspicious choices on this website every 7 days-it's a humiliating job!
Monday night football summed up the nightmare of trying to pick winners and losers in this most unpredictable NFL season. The San Francisco 49ers had trouble entering the game, and the Los Angeles Rams are making their debut as new star receiver Odell Beckham Jr.-this should be just a way, but the 49ers are 31-10 The score wins.

Nothing is normal in this event, I like it, except when I have to choose every week!
Talk about another result we didn't see! We expect Tom Brady to crush the NFL's worst pass defense. Instead, the Washington football team intercepted him twice and won a well-deserved victory 29-19.
On either side of their goodbye week, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost to the New Orleans Saints and now lost to the Washington team. And there is a pattern that head coach Bruce Arians should be very concerned about, he called his team "stupid" on Sunday.
The Buccaneers have turned the ball around five times (four Brady interceptions), rushing for an average of 62 yards per game, and can't get off the field on defense. Falling 4 points behind in the final stage, Tampa needs to stop for Brady to win. Instead, Washington advanced 80 yards in 19 games and scored in Antonio Gibson's one-yard run. After Mike Evans scored with less than 11 minutes left to give the Buccaneers hope, Washington went back 10 and a half minutes in that scoring march.

Some of the teams we consider to be competitors start to look more like themselves in Week 10.

The Dallas Cowboys lost to the Denver Broncos at home, but defeated the Atlanta Falcons by a score of 43-3 from start to finish. Ezekiel Elliott and CeeDee Lamb both scored two goals when the Cowboys totaled 431 yards.
The Buffalo Bills scored only 6 points in the ninth week of their loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, but made up for it in their 45-17 defeat to the New York Jets on Sunday. Josh Allen threw for 366 yards and two touchdowns, Stephen Diggs and Gabriel Davis both exceeded 100 yards, and the Bills scored a total of 489 yards.

In the football game on Sunday night, the Kansas City Chiefs played more like they had 516 yards in the 41-14'palindrome' of the Las Vegas Raiders. Patrick Mahomes pitched 406 yards, scored 5 points, and seemed to have fun again. Now, can the Chiefs maintain this state? Next is the Cowboys.
Just like the evil empire in Star Wars, you can't let the New England Patriots down for a long time. And, just like the famous movie franchise, a masked and imposing leader is overseeing the domination of the galaxy.
The Patriots have not fully recovered to their previous heights, but they have won four consecutive games, winning five of the last six games. The embarrassment of the Cleveland Browns with 45 wins and 7 losses on Sunday was one of the more shocking developments in Week 10.
The defense played well again and continued to make every opposing quarterback look ordinary. The running game did not miss a beat. When the Patters scored a season-high 184 yards on the ground, Rhamondre Stevenson replaced the injured Damien Harris. But the continued growth of rookie quarterback Mike Jones is another important reason for the winning streak. In his first six NFL games, his rating was 89.6. Last month, the index has risen to 102.6.
New England traditionally play their role in the season, and 2021 looks no exception, except for the fact that we all treat them as ordinary equipment. This team is playing a different kind of football and they look dangerous again.
On Sunday night, we spent a lot of time on the Sky Sports NFL to establish a duel between quarterback Aaron Rogers and Russell Wilson. Of course. Both have achieved great success in their Hall of Fame careers, and both returned to their respective teams' starting lineups.

But the big story in this game is not, at least not for the right reasons. Wilson was turned away by the Green Bay Packers' defense and continued to shine at important moments... and not always with the greatest stars.
Green Bay faced Keller Murray, Patrick Mahomes, and now Wilson for several consecutive weeks, and allowed the Arizona Cardinals, Kansas City and Seattle Seahawks to score a total of 34 points.
We need to monitor the health of Rashan Gary, a marginal attacker with a severely injured arm, but this unit is showing resilience and the ability to overcome adversity. This bodes well for packers who open up NFC.
Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was slammed on Sunday night and Monday, including his own head coach at Vic Fangio, because he avoided the Philadelphia Eagles defensive guards. Shizley, because he missed a touchdown.

I do not blame Qiaoshui at all. Melvin Gordon’s mistakes in the game are not his fault, and steals are not his job. We have seen many quarterbacks injured when trying to fly to tackle after interception, the most recent being Baker Mayfield of the Browns.
Although this may satisfy the manhood of "getting a player for the team", if Bridgewater loses this season, it will not help Denver in any way. They put red shirts on these quarterbacks in training for a reason-to keep them away from injury!
For personal reasons, I gave Bridgewater a pass. He suffered such a devastating knee injury in the 2016 training camp and almost lost a leg. On Monday, he publicly admitted to the media: "Hey, guys, I suffered a serious knee injury without contact five years ago. I will not experience this situation again. If you don’t like it, I don’t know what else to do. I told you."

Speaking of Mahomes' performance on Sunday, I want to relay Cam Newton and shout: "He's back...He's back!"
Mahomes performed well in KC's one-sided victory in Vegas. He hit 35 of 50 passes for 406 yards, 5 touchdowns and no draft pick. There are still a lot of short things in the passing game, but there are also some Mahomes classics-the left hand completion early in the game and Darrell Williams's tight long-distance touchdown pass.

After he sat at home watching NFL games and eating a bowl of cereal for a week, Cam Newton returned to play for the Carolina Panthers and helped them beat Arizona 34-10 with a 2-yard touchdown.
This is a classic by Cam Newton. He shot low from the 7 yard line, and when he moved closer to the 5 yard line, Markus Golden pressed against him from behind and Zaven Collins stood in front of him. Cam stiffly helped the rookie linebacker to the ground and walked outside. When he met linebacker Isaiah Simmons on the goal line, there was only one winner. Cam did come back.
He won't be perfect, but he can give the Panthers a real chance.
In an NFL world full of great contradictions, fluctuating conditions and critical injuries, I must thank Mike Vrabel very much for helping his Tennessee Titans win six straight.
Beating the Saints 23-21 on Sunday, Tennessee beat the playoff team five times in a row last season, matching the achievements of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2003. Every week, these Titans will find a way.
Since Derek Henry fell, Deonta Forman has been the leading rusher in the first two games of the Titans, but he only scored 29 yards against the Rams in the game against New Orleans. Scored 30 yards in the game. The Titans found other ways to win, five sacks against Los Angeles and four sacks against the Saints.

Vrabel led the frontcourt and his team led 2-0 without Henry. They are still the top seeds of the AFC with a record of 8-2. Considering their resilience, why not the Titans in the wide-open AFC?
After losing to the Miami Dolphins at the beginning of Week 10, I really wanted to know how Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens dealt with one of the toughest games in the NFL.
Baltimore has always had a tough time against Cleveland (twice), the Pittsburgh Steelers (twice) and the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC North. They also played against the Packers and Rams.

How will Jackson rebound? The Heat won the whole night of reckless giving up with a score of 22-10. Did they provide a blueprint to deal with a quarterback who has been crying for the MVP? Lamar only had 238 passing yards, one touchdown and one interception. He was also limited to 39 yards in 9 rushes.
Since Baltimore is behind with a score of 6-3, the road ahead is very difficult, so it must fight back.
Every Tuesday at 9pm, I will participate in Inside The Huddle with Neil Reynolds and guests on the Sky Sports NFL, reviewing the wonderful weekend NFL games.
