The NFL enters its 10th week of play, cresting and passing the halfway mark tonight as the Oakland Raiders and San Diego Chargers battle on national television.
SB Nation has compiled the NFL Week 10 picks from around the web, including the picks of SI's Peter King, SB Nation's Tim Sieck, and a panel five ESPN experts (updated November 10). For fans of the Chicago Bears, the Week 10 predictions could not look much sweeter:

All told, a combined seven analysts picked the Chicago Bears (5-3) to beat the Detroit Lions (6-2) -- who have struggled of late, losing two of their last three. Meanwhile, the Bears have not lost since their Monday night 24-13 game against the these same Lions.
The NFL announced earlier this week that the Bears-Lions would be moved up to the 3:00 p.m. CST slot.
The Monday night matchup -- which may have looked more marquee during the off-season -- features the overwhelming favorite Green Bay Packers (8-0) facing off against the struggling Minnesota Vikings (2-6), who did not receive a vote of confidence from a single analyst.
