ROCK’S LOCKS | WIN/LOSS: 1-0 | OVERALL: 87-48
The Lions enter Week 10 at 5–3, firmly in the NFC playoff mix but needing a clean bounce‑back after the Vikings loss. The next stretch will define their season: at Washington, at Philadelphia, then home for the Giants, Packers (Thanksgiving), and Cowboys on TNF. The LIons will go 5-0 is my prediction.
Lions Injury front: Rookie guard Christian Mahogany was placed on IR with a broken bone; Taylor Decker (shoulder) and Penei Sewell (shoulder) are trending toward starting. In the secondary, Kerby Joseph (knee) remains out, D.J. Reed is still weeks away, and Avonte Maddox (hamstring) is easing back — leaving Detroit without its top coverage aces. Terrion Arnold returned last week, grabbed his first career interception, and has shown stellar coverage despite needing polish in run support.
Practice windows opened for OL Miles Frazier and DE Josh Paschal, but they may need time before activation. Pat O’Connor and Jacob Saylors also listed as out for this game.
Washington injuries that matter for matchup: Jayden Daniels (elbow) is out; multiple Commanders starters are sidelined across offense and defense, further tilting Week 10 toward Detroit. The bigger names out for this game; WR Terry McLaurin, WR Noah Brown, WR Luke McCaffrey and CB Marshon Lattimore.
The Good News: Defensively, Aidan Hutchinson remains the tone-setter. He’s already among league leaders in pressures and strip-sacks, LB Derrick Barnes has emerged as a complementary force, adding sacks and splash plays, while Jack Campbell has been one of the best in the league through 9 weeks. Offensively, Jared Goff continues to distribute efficiently, with Amon-Ra St. Brown and Sam LaPorta anchoring the passing game. The real spark is Jahmyr Gibbs, whose explosiveness on the ground and in the passing game forces defenses to account for him every snap.
In The Standings: The Lions fell to the #7 seed after the loss to the Vikings. Hanging on to what could become a 3 legged race to the NFC North crown in 2025, the Lions are in the hunt and have not played anywhere near their best ball. Detroit averages 29.9 points per game (2nd in NFL) and has a +61 point differential — undefeated when rushing for 100+ yards, winless when held under that mark. Defensively, they rank middle of the pack in yards allowed but top‑10 in red‑zone efficiency when healthy. Special teams remain a strength, with Jake Bates providing long-range reliability and Jack Fox consistently flipping field position.
Week 10 Call
NFC North Week 10 Spotlight
LIONS at COMMANDERS: Detroit (5–3) heads to Washington looking to rebound after the Vikings loss. The Commanders (3–6) are starting Marcus Mariota, they have struggled to protect its quarterbacks, allowing 29 sacks dealing with a rash of injuries across the roster. Washington’s defense has allowed over 26 points and 377 yards per game this season while their secondary has been vulnerable to big plays.
Detroit’s offense remains dangerous with Jared Goff, Amon‑Ra St. Brown, Sam LaPorta, and Jahmyr Gibbs. If the Lions protect Goff and Lions OC John Morton can find balance and explosiveness while avoiding the self‑inflicted mistakes and communication issues from Week 9. The Lions offense should have a strong performance. The Lions pass rush led by Aidan Hutchinson, Muhammad & Barnes should tilt the game. If the Lions establish tempo early, they can force the Commanders into catch‑up mode, where turnovers are likely. Advantage: Detroit’s pass rush and offensive balance.
RAVENS at VIKINGS: Minnesota (4–4) turns to rookie J.J. McCarthy again, facing a Ravens defense that thrives on pressure. Baltimore (3–5) has been inconsistent but still boasts a disruptive front seven. The Vikings’ offensive line has already allowed heavy pressure this season, and Justin Jefferson will be shadowed by a secondary that ranks top‑10 in limiting explosive plays. Minnesota’s defense has been opportunistic, but Lamar Jackson’s dual‑threat ability stresses them vertically and horizontally. If McCarthy is forced into obvious passing downs, Baltimore’s blitz packages could overwhelm him. Edge: Detroit’s balance and Washington’s QB/injury situation.
GIANTS at BEARS: Chicago (5–3) returns to Soldier Field with Caleb Williams leading a ground‑heavy attack featuring D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai. The Giants (2–7) start rookie Jaxson Dart who’s added mobility and playmaking ability has struggled to generate much of an offense after losing Skattebo. Averaging under 20 points per game, the offensive line remains a liability. The Giants defense is allowing 27.7 points per game while getting gashed on the ground. If the Bears avoid penalties and finish inside the red zone, they should control this matchup. Expect Chicago to lean heavily into the ground game early. Chicago’s defense, while inconsistent, should be able to collapse the pocket forcing Dart into costly 3rd down mistakes. Bears stay in the wild card chase. Edge: Bears’ run game and home field vs struggling Giants.
EAGLES at PACKERS (MNF): Green Bay (5–2–1) hosts Philadelphia (6–2) in a marquee Monday night showdown at Lambeau The Eagles fortified their defense at the deadline and sit in the NFC’s top tier. Jordan Love has been sharp, but the Packers’ offense sputtered last week against Carolina and looking to rebound after a pathetic performance. Philadelphia counters with a reinforced secondary and a pass rush that can match Green Bay’s intensity. This game likely hinges on whether Love can stretch the field against Philly’s corners and whether the Packers’ offensive line can hold up. If Green Bay protects Love, they can trade blows with the Eagles’ balanced attack, but it will be to little too late. Slight edge: Philadelphia’s depth VS Lambeau under the lights
Week 10 Summary | 1-0
WINS: Broncos
LOSSES:
Will Rock Week 9 | 1-0 | Overall 87-48 | Tied 3rd Place
NEW! PROP BETS: Week 9
Expecting the Commanders to give up plenty to the Lions RB & TE passing attack. If David Montgomery cannot get at least 15 yards and Gibbs 40+ and LaPorta 50+ then John Morton doesn’t have a clue, and I shouldn’t have to beg for 50+ to Jamo either!
