NFL Week Ten Picks
By Mike Payton
After a week relatively free of any Lions drama or losses, Detroit takes the field once again. Right now the Lions hold the top overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, but a win against Green Bay could vault them as high as picking sixth. Of course the Lions have not won as the visitors against the Packers since 1991.
Three of our prognosticators have topped the 80-win mark, with Sean Baligian still leading the way over Jeff Risdon and Derek Mack. There are divides on several picks this week, so those trailing in the standings have a chance to make up some ground.
