Check out our Sunday bests
The Browns did on Thursday what the Browns do, losing quickly and painlessly to the division-leading Ravens.
Here are the 10 best things to look for when Week 10 continues on Sunday, including Tom Brady and the 7-1 Patriots facing a showdown with the Seattle Seahawks in a rematch of Super Bowl XLIX.

Best chance for an upset
Cowboys at Steelers: Ben Roethlisberger has been lights out at home for the Steelers. He's won his past seven starts at Heinz Field, and has 19 touchdown passes in his past five games at home.
But Dak Prescott and the Cowboys have been one of the league's best teams all season, and if the Pittsburgh defense doesn't back up Big Ben, Dallas could find a way to improve to 8-1.

Best survivor pool pick
49ers at Cardinals: If you haven't used the Cardinals yet, this is the time. They're almost two-touchdown favorites over the 1-7 49ers for a reason.

Best statistical matchup
Drew Brees vs. the Broncos defense: Denver's defense may have taken a step back this season, but even with the recent injuries to CB Aqib Talib and DE Derek Wolfe (both out this week), the Broncos still are allowing the eighth-fewest points per game (18.4).
That stat figures to be tested by Brees, who's second in the league in passing yards (2,689) and has his Saints second in the league in points per game (30.3). If Von Miller and Denver's D can't keep New Orleans in check, it could be another long day for the Broncos.

Best bad game
Bears at Buccaneers: The oddsmakers have this one as a pick 'em, and our own Andrew Lynch literally flipped a coin to determine which team would win.
This one should be competitive and feature a ton of turnovers, which makes for a sloppy brand of football that should be plenty entertaining — as long as you truly don't care which team wins.

Best fantasy option
Speaking of the Bears, Alshon Jefferey (via ESPN) accounts for more than half of the wide receiver points from Jay Cutler this season, and Tampa Bay ranks 30th against the pass over the past four weeks.

Best chance for a shootout
Falcons at Eagles: The oddsmakers have the over/under for this one set at 50, which seems high until you remember that Matt Ryan and the Falcons are capable of getting very close to that number all by themselves.
Atlanta has scored at least 43 points three times this season, and has registered at least 30 in three other contests.
The Eagles, meanwhile, have scored at least 23 points six times this season, and their defense has stumbled in each of the past two weeks.

Best bet against the spread
Broncos at Saints: We'll ride Drew Brees and the Saints for a second straight week, mainly because they're favored by only two at home against the Broncos and we don't believe Denver has enough on the offensive side of the ball to keep pace.
(We're 6-3 with these picks on the season, riding a five-game winning streak.)
Best chance for a low-scoring contest
Rams at Jets: Oddsmakers have the over/under for this one set at 39.5, and with good reason. L.A. ranks dead last in points per game (16.3), while New York (19.2) ranks just 27th.
Expect enough dreadful quarterback play from both teams to make points hard to come by on Sunday in New Jersey.

Best afternoon game
Cowboys at Steelers: In the first of two Super Bowl rivalry games on the late afternoon schedule, Dak Prescott will try to cement himself as the starting quarterback in Dallas with a road win over a Steelers team that's been dominant at home any time Ben Roethlisberger has been under center.

Best game
Seahawks at Patriots: New England has been dominant ever since Tom Brady returned from his four-game suspension to start the season, but the team hasn't faced a legitimate contender until now.
Seattle still isn't 100 percent on the defensive side of the ball, but the emergence of Jimmy Graham as one of Russell Wilson's favorite targets could make this one a true test for the Patriots, even at home as more than a one-touchdown favorite.
