Herald Picks: Bad straight-up, but great ATS -- The bad news first: It was a bloodbath Week 10 that found us 6-8 overall. But! We slayed the point spread, going 9-5 against the line. That included a bull's-eye on our Upset of the Week: Steelers over Saints. Also had four other dogs-with-points on covers by the Colts, Packers, Chargers and Commanders. Tough season, but let's keep the ATS rally going!
Greg's Lobos: Big win puts us in tie for first place -- The defending PFPI Fantasy champion Lobos scored a big 173-140 win last week led by Cee Dee Lamb's 39 points and 23 apiece from Tua Tagovailoa and Dalvin Cook. The 'Bos are now 6-4 and tied for first place in our 10-team family 'n friends fantasy league with four weeks left in the regular season.
NFL QB Rankings: Mahomes wins week (again), Tua vaults into top five -- Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes wins Week 10, his second straight weekly win and fourth of the season, to climb to No. 1 overall in the Miami Herald NFL Quarterback Rankings. Miami's Tua Tagovailao moves up four more spots to No. 5 despite missing most of three games injured. For the full Top 25 and more, visit NFL Week 10 QB Rankings.
