Weekly Update: NFL Week 10 Report Cards
1. With the Raiders still surging are they a top flight team?
The Oakland Raiders are taking the league by storm in 2016. After winning yet another game against the defending AFC West champs, Denver Broncos, Oakland is looking like they may run away with the division. Their potent offensive attack gives their opposition the greatest headache. If they continue to play at this pace, the Raiders may earn themselves a first round bye into the playoffs.
2. Who will win the AFC South?
Right now, it is not easy to tell. Although one can never be completely sure, we at cover32 have a solid idea. The 5-3 Houston Texans hold a one and a half game lead over the Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts. With have the season left to go, that margin has plenty of time to change. Don’t sleep on the Titans. Marcus Mariota is playing exceptional football at the moment and his team is feeding off it. Houston could still hold onto the lead but can Brock Osweiler get the job done? Indianapolis has a terrible defense but they have a shot on any Sunday with Andrew Luck under center.
3. Are the Panthers back on track?
The Carolina Panthers have battled themselves back into consideration after starting out 1-5. They have now increased their win total to three and have a good chance at keeping the momentum. Cam Newton lives in the moment and if they continue to get back in the race, expect his play to become even more impactful. The NFL is an unpredictable league. No one can be sure of the future.
4. Is the playoff picture taking form?
No. In fact, the complete opposite is occurring. With each week comes with more confusing and perplexing outcomes. Outside of a few top performers, the playoff spots are wide open in each conference. The second half of the season will likely end in a photo finish. There are too many teams on the bubble right now.
5. Week 10’s most intriguing matchup?
Sunday night will feature a game fans all across the NFL will be looking forward to. The Seattle Seahawks will be traveling coast to coast to battle the AFC’s best New England Patriots. This matchup will likely expose either team of how good they truly are. Can Seattle keep up with Tom Brady? Can Pete Carroll muster up another grinder of a game? Either way, this prime time matchup will be one to tune in for.
Wrap up
That does it for week 10’s edition of NFL Five Questions. The trend continues. Nothing is set in stone. The second half of the season will be a nail biter as fans nervously watch their teams go down to the wire. Eventually, more teams will begin to separate themselves down the stretch. It’s just a matter of who and when.
