Baltimore Ravens @ Cleveland Browns
Spread: Ravens, -11
o/u: 39.5
The good news: The Brady Quinn Era is back! The bad news: The Browns are on Monday Night Football. I guess the schedule-makers felt the Browns would be better than the Bengals this year, since this looks like it would have been a perfect week to put Pats-Colts on Monday, Bengals-Steelers on Sunday night, and bury this game at 1 on Sunday. But no, now we have to suffer. Thanks schedule-makers. Thanks for nothing.
Pick: Ravens 24 - Browns 10

NFL Week 10 Preview
Jacksonville Jaguars @ NY Jets
Spread: Jets, -7
o/u: 40.5
With both teams at 4-4, this game is a must-win for both teams to start the second half. The thing to remember about the Jags is they haven't played well on the road, and David Garrard especially. The key for them will be Maurice Jones-Drew's ability to run through a Jets D without Kris Jenkins. The Jets key, then, will be to swarm MJD, and not let him break big plays on them. Even if he does, the Jags defense is terrible, and Mark Sanchez should have all day to find open receivers when he needs to. This game could easily go the way of the Jets-Raiders game of a few weeks ago.

Thursday Night Special - Bears @ 49ers
Chicago Bears @ San Francisco 49ers
Spread: 49ers, -3
o/u: 43.5
The first Thursday Night game of the season features two teams that look a lot alike: both have a QB that can cause turnovers, and both have a defense that isn't living up to expectations lately. The bigger problem will be for the Bears, who have to figure out how to stop Frank Gore. They're giving up 119.5 rushing yards per game, and against a guy that will just keep going at you, that isn't gonna do it. With both teams on a short week, I wouldn't be surprised to see a mistake filled game from both teams, but as long as Gore can keep running, the '9ers will be fine.
