Once again I came out the winner of this weeks Confidence Picks Challenge. It wasn't even that close. My closet competitor was 10 points off of where I finished up. My final score was 97/120 points. I missed on the Patriots (1), Steelers (3), Jets (8) and Broncos (11). Keep the picks coming as my challenge is still for the taking. If those of you don't remember, if anyone beats me at the Confidence Picks Challenge I will wear a dress on my Confidence Picks Challenge fancast at FanvsFan.com.

•Spread Selections (Week 10)

Chicago @ San Francisco (-3) (43.5) Take the 49ers (-3) and the over.
San Francisco- 10 Chicago-6 Total- 16 Well thanks to Jay Cutler I was barely able to squeeze out the spread, but both offenses cost me the over. (1-0-0), (0-1-0)

Detroit @ Minnesota (-17) (47.5) Take the Vikings (-17) and the under.
Minnesota- 27 Detroit- 10 Total- 37 The Vikings didn't look very interested in playing this game which led to a push on the spread, but did net me the under. (1-0-1), (1-1-0)

Denver @ Washington (+4) (36) Take the Broncos (-4) and the under.
Washington- 27 Denver- 17 Total- 44 Who would have thought the Broncos defense would give the Redskins their worst outing of the season. Plus the Orton injury killed me against the spread and the under. (1-1-1), (1-2-0)

Tampa Bay @ Miami (-10) (44) Take the Buccaneers (+10) and the over.
Miami- 25 Tampa Bay- 23 Total- 48 Why did the Bucs wait so long to start Freeman? Whatever the case the rookie kept the Bucs in the game which gave me wins on both the spread and the over. (2-1-1), (2-2-0)

Buffalo @ Tennessee (-6.5) (40.5) Take the Titans (-6.5) and the over.
Tennessee- 41 Buffalo- 17 Total- 58 Though the Titans haven't been winning, because of VY he sure hasn't hurt their cause. The Titans third in a row gave me the spread and the over. (3-1-1), (3-2-0)

New Orleans @ St. Louis (+14) (50) Take the Saints (-14) and the over.
New Orleans- 28 St. Louis- 23 Total- 51 The Saints opponents are really starting to give their best each weekend and their offense and defense both look a bit stagnant which cost me the spread, but the surprising outburst by the Rams netted me the over. (3-2-1), (4-2-0)

Jacksonville @ NY Jets (-6.5) (40) Take the Jaguars (+6.5) and the over.
Jacksonville- 24 NY Jets- 22 Total- 46 As much as the Jets looked ready for primetime early on they have lost that look even quicker. The Jaguars win gave me wins against the spread and the over. (4-2-1), (5-2-0)

Atlanta @ Carolina (+1.5) (44.5) Take the Panthers (+1.5) and the under.
Carolina- 28 Atlanta- 19 Total- 47 Looks as if Matty Ice has hit a bit of a sophomore slump which help me get the spread, but the Falcons lack of defense cost me the under. (5-2-1), (5-3-0)

Cincinnati @ Pittsburgh (-7) (42) Take the Bengals (+7) and the over.
Cincinnati- 18 Pittsburgh- 12 Total-30 The Bengals bend, but don't break defense netted the Bengals a win along with netting me the spread, but I missed big time on the over. (6-2-1), (5-4-0)

Kansas City @ Oakland (-2) (36.5) Take the Chiefs (+2) and the over.
Kansas City- 16 Oakland- 10 Total- 26 An ugly game to watch, but it did net me wins on both the spread and the under. (7-2-1), (6-4-0)

Dallas @ Green Bay (+3) (47.5) Take the Cowboys (-3) and the over.
Green Bay- 17 Dallas- 7 Total- 24 The game was close throughout until a bad call by the refs which cost me the spread. With that said I way overestimated both offenses and missed big on the over. (7-3-1), (6-5-0)

Philadelphia @ San Diego (-2.5) (47) Take the Chargers (-2.5) and the under.
San Diego- 31 Philadelphia- 23 Total- 54 The Chargers almost gave me a heart attack towards the end, but pulled out the victory for me on the spread, but a little too much offense cost me the under. (8-3-1), (6-6-0)

Seattle @ Arizona (-9) (47) Take the Seahawks (+9) and the under.
Arizona- 31 Seattle- 20 Total- 51 It looked good for me early on both fronts until the Cardinals decided to give the home fans something to cheer about in the 2nd half which cost me on both the spread and the under. (8-4-1), (6-7-0)

New England @ Indianapolis (-3) (49) Take the Patriots (+3) and the over.
Indianapolis- 35 New England- 34 Total- 69 Though Belichick's questionable late game decisions cost the Patriots the game it was close enough to net me the spread and an easy victory with the over. (9-4-1), (7-7-0)

Baltimore @ Cleveland (+11) (40.5) Take the Ravens (-11) and the over
. Baltimore- 16 Cleveland- 0 Total- 16 Another case of team looking very disinterested in playing, but the Browns absolute lack of offense gave me a split. A win against the spread, but a loss on the over. (10-4-1), (7-8-0)
