The NFL season has reached its halfway point. The trade deadline has passed, and the playoff race is starting to take shape. Several teams made moves to strengthen their chances, while many clubs in the middle of the pack chose to hold steady and hope injured players return soon.
Week 10 begins Thursday night with the Commanders visiting the Giants. The NFC East has been rough this season, but divisional games still carry plenty of weight. Washington, at 2-5-1, would need a remarkable turnaround to get into contention. Still, the team has kept games close: it tied the Giants in their first meeting and lost by one score to the Seahawks, 49ers and Rams. New York, meanwhile, badly needs a win to keep the Cowboys from gaining ground.
The picks lean toward the Giants, 6-3, though this one could go either way. Across the rest of the schedule, the panel is nearly unanimous on several games. Here’s how the Week 10 selections break down:
- Commanders vs. Giants: Giants, 6 picks; Commanders, 3
- Patriots vs. Lions: Lions, 9
- Panthers vs. Saints: Panthers, 7; Saints, 2
- Bills vs. Jets: Bills, 9
- Chiefs vs. Falcons: Chiefs, 9
- Jaguars vs. Titans: Jaguars, 9
- Dolphins vs. Colts: Colts, 7; Dolphins, 2
- Vikings vs. Packers: Packers, 5; Vikings, 4
- Texans vs. Browns: Texans, 8; Browns, 1
- Seahawks vs. Raiders: Seahawks, 8; Raiders, 1
- Rams vs. Cardinals: Rams, 9
- 49ers vs. Cowboys: 49ers, 9
- Steelers vs. Bengals: Bengals, 7; Steelers, 2

The predictors’ season records range from 76-59-1 to 94-41-1.
