NFL straight-up picks, Week 10: The Steelers? Coming off a bye? In this economy?

Week 9 was a fairly chalky return to normalcy in the NFL. The New England Patriots lost. The Detroit Lions continued down their path to the Super Bowl. The Chicago Bears found a way to devastate their fans.

The second half of the 2024 regular season won’t be as predictable. Fortunately, Week 10’s slate doesn’t look too intimidating on paper. Does that mean we’re gonna crush this week’s straight-up picks, or will it merely serve as further proof I’m an idiot.
