LOCK: New Orleans (-13.5) over ST. LOUIS: The Saints improved to 8-0 last week with a 10-point win over the Panthers; unfortunately, the spread was 14 and my lock got hosed. The Rams are quite a bit worse than Carolina, so I’d like to see the almighty Saints hold down the spread this week. I won’t get into why the Saints will steamroll the Rams because it’s just too obvious.

Atlanta (-1.5) over CAROLINA: The Falcons are jockeying for wild-card positioning so this game carries more weight for Atlanta. With Turner pounding the ball up the middle the Falcons should get their second win in a row and put a lot of meaning into a Week 11 matchup with the Giants.

INDIANAPOLIS (-3.0) over New England: My Colts are bucking for 9-0 and Ryan says I have to make a pick here. Colts have been great all season, and I refuse to pick against them now in this all-important game versus rival New England.

Dallas (-3.0) over GREEN BAY: Uh, this is a dicey pick, but the Cowboys are flying high and I can see the Packers giving in to the high-powered offense that has seen Romo and Austin connect game after game.
