The 2011 NFL season continues to leave fans and media alike in awe, as seemingly each week something new and more impressive happens. With the season entering it’s home stretch, many sports betting enthusiasts are reflecting on week 10 and wondering if week 11 can top it. Here is a recap of the highlights and low points of week 10.

Pittsburgh and New England continued to prove why they are the class of the AFC as they turned in impressive performances during week 10. The Steelers narrowly took out the youthful Cincinnati Bengals, thanks to the Steelers defense capitalizing on rookie mistakes by Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton. Thanks to the victory and a Ravens loss, the Steelers jumped from third in the division back to first heading into their week 11 bye week.

On the other hand, after dropping their last two contests, the New England Patriots were able to finally snag a victory, by stopping the New York Jets. New England quarterback Tom Brady and Head Coach Bill Belichick were finally able to get by bookie software legends Dan Marino and Don Shula as the all time coaching and quarterback tandem in the NFL. The victory also assured, that the Patriots can win the AFC East for another consecutive year.

The low point of week 10 has to go to the inconsistent Baltimore Ravens. We’ve seen two Raven teams this season, the one in which Joe Flacco looks like an MVP and the one in which we ponder why Flacco is even in the league. This past weekend, the Ravens dropped an important contest to the Seattle Seahawks, and now must battle a tough Cincinnati squad, to keep pace in the AFC North. Another team dropping the ball this week was the Philadelphia Eagles, as Michael Vick and the Eagles offense struggled against a bad Arizona Cardinals team.
