After achieving some moderate success in this weekly series in recent weeks, it all came apart in Week 9.
The Atlanta Falcons couldn’t keep up with the Cincinnati Bengals in Spain, the Carolina Panthers didn’t cool off the Denver Broncos, and the Indianapolis Colts failed to close the deal against the Dallas Cowboys.
This week’s schedule is loaded with divisional games, including several rematches. Are there a few surprises ahead?
Here are 3 bold predictions for NFL Week 10
Commanders and Giants battle into OT for the second time in 2026
On November 1, people turned their clocks back as daylight savings time came to an end. In Week 5 of this NFL season, the Washington Commanders set clock management a few years and wound up settling for a 27-27 overtime tie against the visiting New York Giants. Dan Quinn’s team has won just one game since then, while Big Blue is the only team in the NFC East with a winning record.
John Harbaugh’s club has also not lost a game within the division (2-0-1) and the Giants’ defense is ranked fifth in the league in fewest total yards per game allowed. This time, New York wins as the game again reaches a fifth quarter.
Change at quarterback propels Dolphins over Colts
Miami Dolphins’ quarterback Malik Willis has had his issues. He’s hitting on just 58.2 percent of his passes for 1,396 yards and six scores, but has been picked off three times. He’s also lost three of his five fumbles and been sacked 24 times. Willis is the team’s second-leading rusher with 232 yards and three scores. However, he’s now on injured reserve with a groin issue.
That means Kyle McCord will make his first NFL start against a Colts’ team that has not only lost five straight games, but its latest moves saw them deal wide receivers Josh Downs and Keenan Allen on Tuesday. Indianapolis’ run defense will be its undoing here.
Chargers exact revenge against QB Jacoby Brissett
It’s a franchise that is in the midst of its worst start since 2000, when the team was based in San Diego and lost its first 11 games. The Los Angeles Chargers are the NFL’s lone winless team this season at 0-8. On Monday night, Jim Harbaugh will reunite with Ravens’ head coach Jesse Minter—the Chargers’ defensive coordinator the previous two seasons.
Harbaugh will also see quarterback Jacoby Brissett for the second time this year, who led the Cardinals to a Week 1 win over the Chargers at SoFi Stadium. This time, the Bolts’ defense proves to be the difference while Justin Herbert and company end their skid.
