It’s Week 10! The trade deadline is now behind us and here at the midpoint of the season our staff has taken a look at first-half surprises and updated our Super Bowl predictions.
This week’s schedule has a few games that will have a massive impact on the playoff picture, including a couple in prime time. The Steelers are fresh off their big win against the Colts and will now visit the Chargers on Sunday Night Football. Our staff is split, with four of our pickers taking Pittsburgh. The following night gives us an NFC playoff rematch between the Eagles and Packers, with six of our writers and editors expecting the Eagles to come away with a win in Lambeau.
During the Sunday-afternoon slate, the Rams are favored when they visit the 49ers, and our staff was split on a big intra-conference game between the Patriots and Buccaneers in Tampa.
Here’s who we have making picks this season:
Albert Breer, senior NFL reporter
Conor Orr, senior writer
Gilberto Manzano, staff writer
Matt Verderame, staff writer
John Pluym, managing editor
Mitch Goldich, senior editor
Clare Brennan, associate editor
