NFL Week 10 Predictions
Time to dive into the NFL Picks for the upcoming week and make our best bets.
Cincinnati Bengals vs. Baltimore Ravens Odds
Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
---|---|---|---|
Cincinnati Bengals | +215 | +6 (-112) | Over 53 (-108) |
Baltimore Ravens | -265 | -6 (-108) | Under 53 (-112) |
We’ve got a rare fun matchup on Thursday Night Football with the Bengals and Ravens squaring off in Baltimore.
The Ravens come into this game as significant 6-point favorites after a big win over the Denver Broncos in Week 9. Meanwhile, the Bengals have struggled to find consistency, particularly in pass protection. Cincinnati is 4-5 on the year coming into this game, though they did pick up a solid 41-24 win over the Las Vegas Raiders last week.
Zack Moss is now on injured reserve, while the Bengals traded for former Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert prior to the deadline. The backfield now belongs to Chase Brown, who exploded for one of the best games of his young career against the vulnerable Las Vegas run defense last week. Brown gained 120 yards on 27 carries while adding another 5 catches for 37 yards and a touchdown in what was a must-win game for the Bengals.
Baltimore has been a dominant force on the ground all season, as the pairing of Lamar Jackson with Derrick Henry has proven to be a lethal one. Henry was at it again on Sunday, rushing for 106 yards with a couple of touchdowns against Denver. Jackson – who looks primed to contend for his 3rd career NFL MVP – threw for 280 yards and 3 touchdowns against Denver’s vaunted defense.
When these teams last met several weeks ago in Cincinnati, Baltimore emerged with a thrilling 41-38 win in overtime thanks to a last-second Justin Tucker field goal. Given the way both offenses have found their footing, I think we’re looking at another high-scoring clash in the rematch. That said, an over/under of 53 points is awfully high with both teams playing on short rest.
Predictions
- Spread: Ravens -6 (-108)
Baltimore’s defense should make things difficult for Joe Burrow, who has been inconsistent under pressure this season. This spread might feel a bit large, but the Ravens’ recent performances justify it. - Moneyline: Ravens -265
Given Baltimore’s solid form and Cincinnati’s struggles on the road, the Ravens are a safe moneyline play, albeit at a high cost. - Total: Under 53 (-112)
Thursday night games tend to be lower-scoring, and this is a very high total.
Betting Trends
- The Bengals are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games.
- The Ravens are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite.
- The total has gone under in 4 of the last 5 meetings between these teams.
Prediction: Ravens -6, Under 53
Best Bet: Under 53 (-112)
New York Giants vs. Carolina Panthers Odds
Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
---|---|---|---|
New York Giants | -230 | -5 (-110) | Over 41.5 (-108) |
Carolina Panthers | +190 | +5 (-110) | Under 41.5 (-112) |
I’m assuming this game is some sort of payback against Germany for World War II. We’re not exactly sending our best over to Munich this week, as the New York Giants will take on the Carolina Panthers. Both teams are 2-7 coming into this one, though Carolina did get back into the win column with a narrow triumph over the New Orleans Saints in Week 9.
Bryce Young has started the last 2 games under center for Carolina after being benched in favor of Andy Dalton earlier in the season. The former No. 1 overall pick certainly hasn’t panned out just yet, but he hasn’t been awful since his return to the lineup a couple of weeks ago. Young is still averaging a paltry 5.4 yards per attempt, though the Panthers haven’t exactly surrounded him with a bunch of All-Pro talent at the skill positions.
There isn’t much more to be said about the Giants, who appear headed for yet another lost season with Daniel Jones running the show. Jones did account for a couple of touchdowns in New York’s close loss to the Washington Commanders last week, but those were the first TD drives Jones has led at home all season long.
It’s a bit shocking to see the Giants favored this heavily (-5), as oddsmakers have almost no faith in Carolina despite their surprising upset win last week. I’m not a believer in the Panthers, either, but in no world do I believe New York should be favored by 5 points in a game regardless of the opponent. I like Carolina to cover.
Predictions
- Spread: Panthers +5 (-110)
This is more of a protest bet than anything else, as the Giants shouldn’t be favored by this many points against anyone. - Moneyline: Giants -230
New York should take care of business, but laying heavy odds on the moneyline may not provide the best value. - Total: Under 41.5 (-112)
With both teams struggling offensively, the under seems like the safest play here.
Betting Trends
- The Giants are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games.
- The Panthers are 1-6 SU in their last 7 games.
- The total has gone under in 5 of the Giants’ last 6 games.
Prediction: Panthers +5, Under 41.5
Best Bet: Panthers +5 (-110)
Buffalo Bills vs. Indianapolis Colts Odds
Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
---|---|---|---|
Buffalo Bills | -205 | -4 (-112) | Over 46 (-110) |
Indianapolis Colts | +170 | +4 (-108) | Under 46 (-110) |
Buffalo looks to keep its playoff hopes alive with a win over the Colts, who have struggled to keep pace with stronger opponents. The Bills‘ offense, led by Josh Allen, has shown explosive potential, while Indianapolis’ defense has been inconsistent, which could make this a challenging game for the Colts.
Indy also has issues on the other side of the football. Shane Steichen benched Anthony Richardson in favor of veteran Joe Flacco last week after Flacco engineered a series of impressive performances in spot starts earlier in the season. The 39-year-old wasn’t on his game on Sunday night against Minnesota, however. He completed 16 of his 27 throws for 179 yards and an interception as Indy mustered just 13 total points.
I do think Flacco gives the Colts a better chance to win right now than Richardson does, and Steichen has already announced that the former Super Bowl winner is likely to be the team’s starter for the rest of the season. While they will return home for this one, I’m skeptical that Indy will be able to muster enough offense to keep pace with a Buffalo team that looks like one of the AFC’s elite clubs right now.
It wasn’t easy for the Bills in Week 9, but they did just enough to squeak their way to a 30-27 win over the visiting Miami Dolphins. Slow starts have been an unfortunate theme for Buffalo’s offense all year, but they seem to kick things into gear after halftime on a weekly basis.
Allen is still a solid dark-horse threat to Lamar Jackson’s status as the early MVP favorite. Allen was up to his usual tricks in Week 9, as he completed 25 of his 39 throws for 235 yards and 3 touchdowns. He also had a long rushing TD nullified by a very questionable holding penalty in the first half.
The spread is suspiciously tight, but I like Buffalo to cover on the road.
Predictions
- Spread: Bills -4 (-112)
The Bills have a clear edge in offensive firepower. Covering the spread should be achievable if their defense can keep Indianapolis in check. - Moneyline: Bills -205
Buffalo should be able to come out on top, but the moneyline odds aren’t especially favorable. - Total: Over 46 (-110)
Both teams have been involved in high-scoring games, so the over is a reasonable play.
Betting Trends
- The Bills are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games.
- The Colts are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games.
- The total has gone over in 4 of Buffalo’s last 5 games.
Prediction: Bills -4, Over 46
Best Bet: Bills -4 (-112)
Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Washington Commanders Odds
Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
---|---|---|---|
Pittsburgh Steelers | +124 | +3 (-115) | Over 45.5 (-112) |
Washington Commanders | -148 | -3 (-105) | Under 45.5 (-108) |
The Pittsburgh Steelers visit the Washington Commanders in a matchup between 2 of the NFL’s more surprising teams. Pittsburgh is 6-2 coming out of their bye week, and they made a trade for a big-play threat wide receiver, Mike Williams, prior to the trade deadline. The Steelers haven’t skipped a beat since replacing Justin Fields with Russell Wilson, as Wilson is 2-0 with a couple of impressive performances since taking the reins.
The Commanders have raised even more eyebrows. Not much was expected of a Washington team with a rookie quarterback and a new coaching staff this season, yet the Commanders are flying high at 7-2 with 3 straight wins coming into this clash. Washington is also a perfect 4-0 at home, a record they’ll be putting on the line with the Steelers coming to town.
This should be a fun matchup, as the Steelers’ defense has more than enough talent to potentially give a high-flying Commanders offense some headaches. You can bet Pittsburgh’s primary defensive game plan will be to make life as difficult as possible for Jayden Daniels, who has done very little wrong so far in his rookie campaign. Daniels has completed better than 712 percent of his passes to this point, and he hasn’t thrown an interception since a 34-13 win over the Cleveland Browns almost exactly a month ago.
The key matchup may be Pittsburgh’s resurgent offense against a Washington defense that has exceeded expectations. The Commanders are clearly going for it, as they made a splashy trade for former New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore prior to the deadline. Pittsburgh’s offense has been dynamic with Wilson under center, though it’s worth noting those performances came against the Jets and Giants.
Predictions
- Spread: Steelers +3 (-1155)
Washington’s offense has been more consistent, and they might cover the small spread at home. - Moneyline: Steelers +124
The moneyline provides a decent value for Washington, but it’s close enough to be a risky play. I’ll take plus-money odds on Pittsburgh. - Total: Under 45.5 (-108)
Given the strengths of both defenses, this game could easily fall under the total.
Betting Trends
- The Steelers are 3-2 ATS in their last 5 games.
- The Commanders are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games.
- The total has gone under in 6 of Pittsburgh’s last 8 games.
Prediction: Steelers +3 (-115), Under 45.5
Best Bet: Steelers +3 (-115)
Atlanta Falcons vs. New Orleans Saints Odds
Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
---|---|---|---|
Atlanta Falcons | -185 | -3.5 (-105) | Over 46 (-112) |
New Orleans Saints | +154 | +3.5 (-115) | Under 46 (-108) |
The Atlanta Falcons are slight favorites as they travel to New Orleans for a divisional clash with the Saints. Both teams have had up-and-down seasons, but Atlanta’s offense has shown more stability, which should give them the edge.
The Saints’ 2-0 start feels like ancient history. New Orleans has dropped 7 straight games since then, which ultimately cost head coach Dennis Allen his job earlier this week. Losing to the Panthers was, apparently, the final straw. We’ll see what interim head coach Darren Rizzi has in store, but it’s hard to imagine too much will actually change. One name to watch is Chris Olave, who left the last game after sustaining yet another concussion. His status for Sunday’s game is very much in doubt, which could take a bite out of the Saints’ passing game.
The Falcons, meanwhile, improved to 6-3 with a nice win over the Dallas Cowboys last week. Atlanta is now 6-3 and atop the NFC South with a useful 2-game cushion over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Atlanta picked up a 26-24 victory in New Orleans when these teams last met back in Week 4. New Orleans managed to hold Kirk Cousins and Atlanta without an offensive touchdown. The Falcons scored a pair of defensive touchdowns and settled for 4 Younghoe Koo field goals, which was enough to get them over the hump.
This spread is too small. Perhaps the Saints have some kind of post-coach firing bounce in store, but the Falcons are quite clearly the better football team.
Predictions
- Spread: Falcons -3.5 (-105)
Atlanta’s defense might be the deciding factor in covering this spread. - Moneyline: Falcons -185
Not the best odds, but Atlanta is a safer pick straight up. - Total: Under 46 (-108)
Both defenses are capable of limiting big plays, making the under attractive here.
Betting Trends
- The Falcons are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games.
- The Saints are 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games.
- The total has gone under in 5 of the last 7 meetings between these teams.
Prediction: Falcons -3.5, Under 46
Best Bet: Falcons -3.5 (-105)
Minnesota Vikings vs. Jacksonville Jaguars Odds
Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
---|---|---|---|
Minnesota Vikings | -192 | -4 (-108) | Over 47.5 (-112) |
Jacksonville Jaguars | +160 | +4 (-112) | Under 47.5 (-108) |
The Minnesota Vikings travel to Jacksonville to take on the Jaguars in what could be a high-scoring affair. Minnesota’s offense has impressed, led by a balanced rushing and passing attack. The Jaguars, while competitive, have struggled to keep pace with more explosive offenses, which could make this matchup challenging for them.
Jacksonville managed to grasp defeat from the jaws of victory once again on Sunday in Philadelphia. They nearly managed to erase a 22-0 halftime deficit, only for Trevor Lawrence to throw a back-breaking interception in the end zone with the Jags driving to potentially take the lead. This has been a nightmarish season, as the Jaguars are now just 2-7 despite entering the campaign with playoff aspirations out of the AFC South.
Things won’t get any easier for them this week, of course. The Vikings snapped a 2-game losing streak with a solid win on Sunday Night Football over the Colts. Sam Darnold threw 3 touchdown passes to 3 different receivers in Minnesota’s 21-13 win.
Perhaps what was more impressive than the offensive outing was the performance of Minnesota’s defense. The Vikings have been extremely tough to run on all year, and they held former rushing champ Jonathan Taylor to just 48 yards on 13 carries. The Jaguars have struggled to run the ball with consistency all season long, so it could be another long afternoon for Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby on Sunday.
This is another game with a suspiciously tight spread. Confidence should be an issue for the Jaguars at this point, and I think the Vikings have the potential to overwhelm them in this one.
Predictions
- Spread: Vikings -4 (-108)
Minnesota’s offense should be able to exploit Jacksonville’s defense, making the Vikings likely to cover the spread. - Moneyline: Vikings -192
The Vikings are a relatively safe pick straight up, but the moneyline odds might not provide much value. - Total: Over 47.5 (-112)
Both teams have been involved in high-scoring games this season, so the over looks appealing.
Betting Trends
- The Vikings are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games.
- The Jaguars are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games.
- The total has gone over in 6 of Minnesota’s last 8 games.
Prediction: Vikings -4, Over 47.5
Best Bet: Vikings -4 (-108)
New England Patriots vs. Chicago Bears Odds
Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
---|---|---|---|
New England Patriots | +220 | +6 (-112) | Over 39 (-112) |
Chicago Bears | -270 | -6 (-108) | Under 39 (-108) |
The New England Patriots face off with the Bears in Chicago. The Bears enter as solid favorites 6-point favorites at home in a battle between a couple of impressive rookie quarterbacks. The Patriots haven’t done much winning since Drake Maye took over for Jacoby Brissett, but the North Carolina product has impressed to this point. The Bears, meanwhile, are still trying to find their footing with Caleb Williams running the show.
Chicago was surprisingly beaten in Arizona by the Cardinals last week in a particularly dismal offensive effort. The Bears’ only points of the game came on 3 Cairo Santos field goals as Williams failed to lead a single TD drive. D’Andre Swift was held to just 51 yards on the ground, while Williams completed 22 of 41 passes.
That said, Chicago should be able to get something going this week against what may be the worst-coached team in the NFL. New England is just 2-7 thus far in the first year post-Bill Belichick, and they lost a hard-fought effort last week in Nashville to the Tennessee Titans.
Regardless, Maye looks like he may be the long-term successor to Tom Brady. The rookie has completed nearly 66 percent of his passes for 770 yards with 6 touchdowns to 4 interceptions through 5 games. He’s also been a threat on the ground, with 209 yards and a touchdown on just 21 carries.
I don’t trust the Bears to cover a spread this high, but I also don’t trust the Patriots to cover it as underdogs. The play here is to take the under on 39 points.
Predictions
- Spread: Bears -6 (-108)
The Bears’ defense might be able to contain New England’s struggling offense, allowing them to cover the spread. - Moneyline: Bears -270
Chicago is a solid pick to win outright, though the odds are steep. - Total: Under 39 (-108)
Both teams have shown offensive struggles, making the under a sensible play.
Betting Trends
- The Patriots are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games.
- The Bears are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games at home.
- The total has gone under in 7 of the last 8 meetings between these teams.
Prediction: Bears -6, Under 39
Best Bet: Under 39 (-108)
Denver Broncos vs. Kansas City Chiefs Odds
Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
---|---|---|---|
Denver Broncos | +300 | +8 (-110) | Over 41.5 (-108) |
Kansas City Chiefs | -380 | -8 (-110) | Under 41.5 (-112) |
The Kansas City Chiefs host the Denver Broncos in an AFC West matchup. Kansas City is heavily favored as they come into this one with a perfect 8-0 record on the heels of last year’s Super Bowl title. Denver is 5-4, meanwhile, after a tough loss last week in Baltimore.
The Chiefs still don’t look quite right, but they’re doing enough to win on a weekly basis. Patrick Mahomes suffered an injury scare in the Week 9 win over the Bucs, though he was ultimately able to return to the field after appearing to sprain his ankle. Mahomes said after the game that he’s good to go, so he should be on the field this week when the Broncos pay their annual visit to Arrowhead.
The big story for Kansas City in that game was the emergence of DeAndre Hopkins, who caught a pair of touchdown passes from Mahomes in his second game with the team. These are two of the best players at their respective positions of this generation, so it’s hardly a surprise to see they’ve wasted little time getting on the same page. Hopkins’ arrival is huge for an offense already missing Rashee Rice and Marquise Brown for the rest of the year.
Denver has been better than expected this season with rookie QB Bo Nix leading the charge. The Broncos are firmly in the AFC playoff picture at 5-4, though I’m skeptical that they can keep it going all season. This is the kind of defense-first team built to take advantage of lesser foes, and they’re going to struggle to keep pace with more impressive offenses. I think the under is the play here.
Predictions
- Spread: Chiefs -8 (-110)
Kansas City should be able to cover this spread given Denver’s defensive vulnerabilities. - Moneyline: Chiefs -380
Kansas City is the clear choice on the moneyline, though it’s a pricey option. - Total: Under 41.5 (-112)
If the Chiefs get out to an early lead, the pace could slow down in the second half, pushing this game under the total.
Betting Trends
- The Broncos are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against Kansas City.
- The Chiefs are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games.
- The total has gone under in 4 of the last 5 meetings between these teams.
Prediction: Chiefs -8, Under 41.5
Best Bet: Under 41.5 (-112)
San Francisco 49ers vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Odds
Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
---|---|---|---|
San Francisco 49ers | -238 | -5.5 (-110) | Over 51 (-110) |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers | +195 | +5.5 (-110) | Under 51 (-110) |
The San Francisco 49ers will try to find their footing as they exit their bye week to take on the Buccaneers in Tampa Bay. San Francisco is a disappointing 4-3 to this point, though the NFC West is still very winnable. The Bucs, meanwhile, are 4-5 after an overtime loss to the Chiefs in Kansas City on Monday night. This is a particularly tough portion of Tampa Bay’s schedule, as they’ll face both of last year’s Super Bowl participants in less than a week just after losing their top 2 offensive playmakers in Mike Evans and Chris Godwin to injuries.
Even with a shorthanded group of pass-catchers at his disposal, Baker Mayfield continues to have a solid season. The much-maligned former No. 1 overall pick has completed better than 71 percent of his throws for 2,389 yards and 23 touchdowns to 9 interceptions on the year. Turnovers will always be a part of his game as a legit gunslinger, but he managed to avoid any turnovers in the Week 9 loss in Kansas City.
The star for this offense since the injuries has been tight end Cade Otton, who’s finally coming into his own. Over the last 2 games, Otton has racked up 17 catches on 21 targets for 158 yards and 3 touchdowns. Otton scored just once through Tampa Bay’s first 7 games, so he’s stepped it up in a big way with Evans and Godwin both sidelined.
The Niners are dealing with their own rash of injuries on offense, too. Christian McCaffrey has yet to play this season as a result of Achilles issues, but there’s a chance he finally returns to the field this week. San Francisco has already lost Brandon Aiyuk for the season, though Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings should be back in the mix this week.
I don’t hate the idea of taking a flier on the Bucs’ +195 moneyline odds as the home team here. West Coast teams traveling all the way across the country have historically had some difficulty adjusting to the new time zone, so don’t be surprised if the Niners get off to a sluggish start on Sunday.
Predictions
- Spread: Buccaneers +5.5 (-110)
I get why the Niners are favored, but they haven’t looked too convincing this season. The Bucs have stayed competitive despite some injuries. - Moneyline: Buccaneers +195
I wouldn’t go all-in on this by any means, but I like the value on the Bucs at home. - Total: Under 51 (-110)
The total looks a little too high, even for a couple of offenses with talent.
Betting Trends
- The 49ers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games.
- The Buccaneers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as underdogs.
- The total has gone under in 4 of San Francisco’s last 5 games.
Prediction: Buccaneers +5.5 (-110), Under 51
Best Bet: Buccaneers +5.5 (-110)
Tennessee Titans vs. Los Angeles Chargers Odds
Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
---|---|---|---|
Tennessee Titans | +295 | +7.5 (-108) | Over 38 (-110) |
Los Angeles Chargers | -375 | -7.5 (-112) | Under 38 (-110) |
The Los Angeles Chargers host the Tennessee Titans as heavy favorites. LA got off to a so-so start to the season, but they’ve really impressed over the past few games. The Bolts are off to an encouraging 4-0 start in their first season under Jim Harbaugh after back-to-back wins over the Saints and Browns.
That’s not the toughest run of foes, but you have to beat the teams on your schedule. Los Angeles gets another soft test this week with a struggling Titans team coming to town. Tennessee hasn’t been able to pass the ball with consistency this season regardless of whether Will Levis or Mason Rudolph is taking the snaps. The Chargers’ defense has been suffocating, as they’ve held New Orleans and Cleveland to a combined 18 points over the last 2 games.
The offense has also started to click, particularly through the air. The Chargers employed a run-heavy approach to begin the season, but Justin Herbert has started to put some big numbers on the board. Over the last 3 games combined, Herbert has thrown for 910 yards and 4 touchdown passes. He’s also thrown just one interception all year, and protecting the ball has been an issue for this team in recent years.
I don’t really see the need to expound any further. I think the Bolts win this one going away at home.
Predictions
- Spread: Chargers -7.5 (-112)
If the Chargers can avoid turnovers, they should be able to cover this spread. - Moneyline: Chargers -375
Los Angeles is a clear favorite, but the moneyline odds provide limited value. - Total: Under 38 (-110)
The Titans’ ground-and-pound style may help keep the score low, making the under appealing.
Betting Trends
- The Titans are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games.
- The Chargers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as favorites.
- The total has gone under in 5 of the last 6 games for the Titans.
Prediction: Chargers -7.5, Under 38
Best Bet: Chargers -7.5 (-110)
Philadelphia Eagles vs. Dallas Cowboys Odds
Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
---|---|---|---|
Philadelphia Eagles | -355 | -7 (-112) | Over 42 (-112) |
Dallas Cowboys | +280 | +7 (-108) | Under 42 (-108) |
In this NFC East rivalry, the high-flying Eagles are favored by a touchdown as they host the cratering Cowboys. Philadelphia’s balanced offense and tough defense make them formidable, while things have gone south in a hurry for Dallas in recent weeks.
The ‘Boys bottomed out in Week 9, as Dak Prescott suffered a hamstring injury in the team’s loss in Atlanta. Prescott will be out for a few games, which means backup Cooper Rush will start in the meantime. Rush memorably led the Cowboys to a few wins several seasons ago after Dak broke his leg, but he was working with a much more talented offense back then. This year’s Cowboys team can’t run the football at all, and they have little by way of receiving playmakers once you get past CeeDee Lamb. Lamb, meanwhile, is dealing with a shoulder injury, too.
The Eagles nearly blew a huge lead last week against Jacksonville, but they were able to salvage a victory with a late interception to seal the game. Philadelphia started the season just 2-2, but they’ve since rattled off 4 straight wins. They’re now just a game behind Washington in the NFC East standings in what should be a fun race to follow down the stretch.
Saquon Barkley added to his never-ending highlight reel against Jacksonville, while Jalen Hurts added another 3 touchdowns to his ledger. There is some concern over the status of AJ Brown, who left Sunday’s game early with a knee injury. Brown reportedly avoided a serious injury, though, and the team says he’s day-to-day going forward.
Regardless of whether Brown plays in this game, I expect the Eagles to roll. The banged-up Dallas defense has been vulnerable against the run all year, and running is what the Birds do best.
Predictions
- Spread: Eagles -7 (-112)
Philadelphia’s ground-heavy offense should help them cover the spread at home. - Moneyline: Eagles -355
Philadelphia is a strong pick to win, but at high odds. - Total: Under 42 (-108)
Rivalry games in the NFC East often trend lower-scoring, so the under is worth a look.
Betting Trends
- The Eagles are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games.
- The Cowboys are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games.
- The total has gone under in 4 of Philadelphia’s last 5 games.
Prediction: Eagles -7, Under 42
Best Bet: Eagles -7 (-112)
New York Jets vs. Arizona Cardinals Odds
Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
---|---|---|---|
New York Jets | +108 | +1 (+115) | Over 46 (-112) |
Arizona Cardinals | -112 | -1 (-105) | Under 46 (-108) |
The New York Jets picked up a rare win in Week 9 with a solid home triumph over the Houston Texans. The Cardinals were also winners last week as they impressively thrashed the Bears by 20 points at home. Arizona is listed as a slight 1-point favorite in a game with the tightest spread of the Week 10 schedule.
Have the Jets finally found something? Time will tell. There’s a ton of talent on this team, yet they’ve struggled to click into gear. Aaron Rodgers completed 22 of his 33 passes for 211 yards and 3 touchdowns against Houston, though, with 2 scoring strikes to Garrett Wilson and another to Davante Adams.
The Cardinals are another tough team to figure out. Arizona has picked up a few impressive wins, and they enter this one as winners of 3 straight and 4 of their last 5 overall. They’re actually leading the NFC West at this point, though oddsmakers still think the division runs through San Francisco.
Arizona really had the ground game going last week, rushing for 213 total yards on 34 carries with 3 touchdowns. James Conner accounted for 107 of those yards, while Emari Demercado, Trey Benson, and Trey McBride supplied the rushing scores.
It’s taken a while, but I tend to think the Jets’ talent was always going to ultimately win out. It’s not going to lead to a Super Bowl title this season, but I do buy them as a potential bounce-back candidate moving forward. I’ll take the value on New York as a slight road underdog in Week 10.
Predictions
- Spread: Jets +1 (-115)
Arizona has played well at home, but the indoor conditions should suit Rodgers and the Jets’ offense nicely. - Moneyline: Jets +108
As mentioned, there’s value to be found on the Jets to win outright on the road. - Total: Under 46 (-108)
Both defenses have been capable of limiting big plays, so the under is appealing here.
Betting Trends
- The Jets are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games on the road.
- The Cardinals are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games.
- The total has gone under in 6 of the Jets’ last 7 games.
Prediction: Jets +1, Under 46
Best Bet: Jets ML +108
Detroit Lions vs. Houston Texans Odds
Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
---|---|---|---|
Detroit Lions | -185 | -3.5 (-108) | Over 49.5 (-108) |
Houston Texans | +154 | +3.5 (-112) | Under 49.5 (-112) |
The Sunday Night Football extravaganza is a potential Super Bowl 59 preview between the Detroit Lions and Houston Texans. While the Texans are 6-3 to begin the year, the Lions are the only team in this game that looks like a legitimate Super Bowl contender right now. Detroit is 7-1 and riding a 6-game winning streak coming into this one.
We’ll see which Texans team shows up. Houston’s offensive line has struggled to protect CJ Stroud all season, and it’s hard to imagine the Texans making a deep playoff run if their QB is consistently under siege. You can bet the Lions’ defensive game plan will be to try and pressure Stroud as much as possible, and we’ll see if the Houston O-line can hold up.
Help could be on the way for the Texans. While Stefon Diggs is done for the season, there’s a chance Nico Collins returns after missing a handful of games with a hamstring issue. Collins was the NFL’s leading receiver at the time he went down with the injury, and the Texans’ aerial attack has struggled without him.
If the season ended today, I’d pick the Lions to win the title. Detroit looks like a juggernaut on both sides of the ball, and they’re going to be very tough to beat. Not only are they well-coached, but they arguably have more offensive talent than any team in football. Jared Goff has hardly had to break a sweat this season, while Detroit’s rushing attack has been completely unstoppable.
Given the way these teams are trending, I have faith in the Lions to cover the 3.5-point spread on the road.
Predictions
- Spread: Lions -3.5 (-108)
Detroit’s offense should be able to outscore Houston, helping them cover this spread. - Moneyline: Lions -185
Detroit is a solid pick to win straight up, though the moneyline is on the higher side. - Total: Over 49.5 (-108)
Both teams are capable of scoring, so the over seems likely in this matchup.
Betting Trends
- The Lions are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games.
- The Texans are 3-6 ATS in their last 9 home games.
- The total has gone over in 5 of Detroit’s last 6 games.
Prediction: Lions -3.5, Over 49.5
Best Bet: Lions -3.5 (-108)
Miami Dolphins vs. Los Angeles Rams Odds
Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
---|---|---|---|
Miami Dolphins | +114 | +2.5 (-105) | Over 51 (-108) |
Los Angeles Rams | -135 | -2.5 (-115) | Under 51 (-112) |
The Miami Dolphins travel to Los Angeles for a Monday night game against the Rams. The Rams are slight favorites at home, but the Dolphins have looked better since Tua Tagovailoa returned to the lineup 2 weeks ago. This is essentially a must-win game for Miami, though, as Mike McDaniels’ 2-6 squad is on the verge of falling out of the AFC playoff race far earlier than most expected.
The Rams won a thrilling overtime clash against the Seahawks in Seattle in Week 9. LA managed to win the game despite the early ejection of Puka Nacua thanks to another terrific effort from Matthew Stafford. Stafford – who may actually be football’s most underrated player at this point – has already thrown for 1,969 yards with 9 touchdowns despite the Rams having been without Nacua and Cooper Kupp for the majority of the season.
Los Angeles also comes into this one in promising form as winners of 3 straight games. The question is whether the new-look defense can continue to hold up. Rookie Jared Verse has proven to be a quality replacement for Aaron Donald, as the Florida State product has 3.5 sacks through his first 8 NFL games.
The Dolphins gave the Bills a good run last week but ultimately fell just short. Miami’s last 2 losses have come by just 4 points combined, and they’re likely in for another hotly-contested matchup this week. The key moving forward will be getting Tyreek Hill going. Hill has just 446 receiving yards, 34 catches, and a single touchdown through 8 games this year. Last season, he led the NFL with 1,799 receiving yards on 119 catches with 13 TDs.
Miami is better than their record indicates, but I like the value on Los Angeles to win a 4th straight game at home. I also think we’re in store for a shootout, so the over on 51.5 points is my favorite way to bet on this one.
Predictions
- Spread: Rams -2.5 (-115)
Los Angeles has a slight edge at home and should be able to cover this small spread. - Moneyline: Rams -135
The Rams’ home-field advantage makes them a solid moneyline pick in what could be a close game. - Total: Over 51 (-108)
Both offenses are explosive, so the over is an appealing play in this prime-time matchup.
Betting Trends
- The Dolphins are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games.
- The Rams are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games.
- The total has gone over in 4 of the Dolphins’ last 5 games.
Prediction: Rams -2.5, Over 51
Best Bet: Over 51 (-108)
