The NFL season continues on this weekend, and Week 10 has now arrived.
It's a fun slate that features quite a few divisional matchups, beginning with an NFC East showdown on Thursday night between the Giants and the Commanders. On Sunday, the Packers face the Vikings in what could be Kirk Cousins' first start, while the Bills look to maintain AFC positioning on the road against the Jets.
In non-divisional action, the Lions host the Patriots, while Fernando Mendoza will make his first NFL start against the defending champions as the Raiders face the Seahawks. Sunday night pits the Steelers against the Bengals in an AFC North duel, while Monday night features the winless Chargers looking to get on the board in Jacoby Brissett's Ravens debut.
Our
panel of experts is back to give you its picks for all those games and more in Week 10.
All odds via BetMGM
Washington Commanders at New York Giants (Thursday Night Football)
Opening Line: Giants -1.5
Grimes: Giants -2
Giants finish the job they should've finished the first time these teams played.
Curtis: Giants -2
Even with J.J. McCarthy nursing an injury, the Giants can continue to take care of business in the NFC East.
Zeglinski: Giants -2
How long before Washington pulls the plug on Dan Quinn?
D'Andrea: Giants -2
The bloom is off J.J. McCarthy's onion, but he should still be able to handle a just-OK Washington defense.
Nettuno: Giants -2
No ties this time around.
New England Patriots at Detroit Lions (in Munich)
Opening Line: Lions -1.5
Grimes: Patriots +3
This feels like a lot of points for a non-home team with a bad defense against an OK opponent.
Curtis: Patriots +3
I don't know about this line, in an overseas game... I'll take the points.
Zeglinski: Lions -3
Detroit's defense remains untrustworthy, but gimme the Lions over a more banged-up Patriots team.
D'Andrea: Lions -3
This is a line I would not touch in real life. Feels like we're barrelling toward a push.
Nettuno: Lions -3
Don't feel good about this but the Pats have been untrustworthy.
Houston Texans at Cleveland Browns
Opening Line: Texans -4.5
Grimes: Texans -4.5
Houston's offense looks dangerous.
Curtis: Browns +4.5
This line is one point too high.
Zeglinski: Texans -4.5
C.J. Stroud is playing the finest football of his career and the Browns are falling back to Earth.
D'Andrea: Browns +4.5
Cleveland is capable of making life tough on a flawed Texans team, even if it doesn't result in a win.
Nettuno: Texans -4.5
Houston will at least nominally keep its hopes of making a comeback this season alive.
Jacksonville Jaguars at Tennessee Titans
Opening Line: Jaguars -2.5
Grimes: Jaguars -10.5
And the Jags had extra time to prep for this one.
Curtis: Jaguars -10.5
A post-deadline Jags team begins its title run with a blowout.
Zeglinski: Jaguars -10.5
This could've been a 20.5-point line and I still would've taken the Jaguars to cover.
D'Andrea: Jaguars -10.5
My prediction? Pain.
Nettuno: Jaguars -10.5
If the Jags don't win this one easily I may have to find a different way to spend my Sundays.
Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers
Opening Line: Packers -4.5
Grimes: Vikings +3.5
Too many points. The Vikings might not win but that defense can hang with anyone.
Curtis: Vikings +3.5
Minnesota's defense is extremely legit. The offense may get an improvement soon enough when Kirk Cousins is up to speed.
Zeglinski: Packers -3.5
The Packers are a top-five team in the game and Minnesota's Kirk Cousins reacquisition doesn't move me one bit.
D'Andrea: Vikings +3.5
Kirk Cousins is going to be INSUFFERABLE after this one.
Nettuno: Packers -3.5
Kirk Cousins is definitely an upgrade but I still just don't really trust Minnesota, especially on the road.
Miami Dolphins at Indianapolis Colts
Opening Line: Colts -6.5
Grimes: Colts -4
Might have taken the Dolphins to win if Willis wasn't hurt.
Curtis: Colts -4
The Toilet Bowl!
Zeglinski: Colts -4
(Shrugs, carries on with life)
D'Andrea: Colts -4
Malik Willis had something nice going and the Dolphins are competent otherwise. Just not in a way that leads to wins, especially if Kyle McCord is QB1
Nettuno: Dolphins +4
You know what? I think Miami steals one here.
Buffalo Bills at New York Jets
Opening Line: Bills -7
Grimes: Jets +8
Jets at home. This game could get weird.
Curtis: Bills -8
Kind of a big spread for a divisional game, but Buffalo is a true contender.
Zeglinski: Bills -8
Buffalo won't be seriously challenged again until Thanksgiving night.
D'Andrea: Bills -8
Buffalo is rolling right now. Geno Smith is not.
Nettuno: Jets +8
This feels like a few points too many.
Carolina Panthers at New Orleans Saints
Opening Line: Saints -1.5
Grimes: Panthers +2.5
Tough game to call.
Curtis: Panthers +2.5
Uhhh sure?
Zeglinski: Saints -2.5
Purely rolling with the home team because I am zero percent confident in what's going to happen otherwise.
D'Andrea: Panthers +2.5
Two inscrutable teams. I like Carolina's roster better, but not by much.
Nettuno: Saints -2.5
I'll echo my colleagues with a sentiment of "sure, why not?"
Kansas City Chiefs at Atlanta Falcons
Opening Line: Chiefs -4.5
Grimes: Chiefs -3.5
As long as Patrick Mahomes isn't too banged up.
Curtis: Chiefs -3.5
Atlanta is a tough team to figure out. Kansas City takes care of business here.
Zeglinski: Chiefs -3.5
The Andy Reid Chiefs have historically been a great second-half-of-the-season team.
D'Andrea: Chiefs -3.5
My faith in the Falcons continues to bury me. Which, in fairness, is the truest expression of Falcons fandom.
Nettuno: Chiefs -3.5
This pick feels so obvious I wonder if it's a trap.
Los Angeles Rams at Arizona Cardinals
Opening Line: Rams -10.5
Grimes: Cardinals +9.5
The Rams might have as hard a time moving the ball as Arizona.
Curtis: Cardinals +9.5
I have gone back and forth here. I hate this spread for both sides.
Zeglinski: Cardinals +9.5
Man, who's playing receiver in this one? I genuinely have no idea.
D'Andrea: Cardinals +9.5
LA's gonna have Carson Beck in hell, but Arizona should be able to do enough not to lose by double digits against a depleted Rams team.
Nettuno: Rams -9.5
Backdoor cover coming here. Trust.
Seattle Seahawks at Las Vegas Raiders
Opening Line: Seahawks -7
Grimes: Seahawks -6.5
Tough first game for Fernando Mendoza.
Curtis: Seahawks -6.5
Congrats on the first game, Fernando. Good luck.
Zeglinski: Seahawks -6.5
Congratulations to Fernando Mendoza for ... making his NFL debut agaist the ravenous Seattle defense? Woof.
D'Andrea: Seahawks -6.5
Seattle's gonna have Fernando Mendoza in hell. End of analysis.
Nettuno: Seahawks -6.5
I'm gonna be honest folks I don't think I believe in Year 1 Mendoza making his first start against this defense.
San Francisco 49ers at Dallas Cowboys
Opening Line: Cowboys -1.5
Grimes: 49ers -4
The Niners are good. The Cowboys might not be.
Curtis: 49ers -4
San Francisco keeps rolling.
Zeglinski: 49ers -4
I have seen some sentiments saying, "The Cowboys play up to their competition," regarding this game. Uh, do they? Do they really?
D'Andrea: 49ers -4
You cannot trust the Cowboys to microwave a pizza correctly, let alone fend off the creeping darkness of failure against one of the NFC's best teams.
Nettuno: 49ers -4
Dallas simply can't stop them.
Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals (Sunday Night Football)
Opening Line: Bengals -3.5
Grimes: Steelers +3.5
Anything more than a field goal in the AFC North feels like a gimme.
Curtis: Steelers +3.5
This should be a fun one.
Zeglinski: Bengals -3.5
The Bengals are starting to play their best football of the year and have revenge on their mind.
D'Andrea: Steelers +3.5
Pittsburgh's coming off a bye in a rivalry game. Expect shenanigans.
Nettuno: Bengals -3.5
I think the Bengals are slightly better and they're at home.
Los Angeles Chargers at Baltimore Ravens (Monday Night Football)
Opening Line: Ravens -3.5
Grimes: Ravens -4.5
Jacoby Brissett should at least help Derrick Henry come back to life.
Curtis: Ravens -4.5
Won't bet on the Chargers until we see a pulse.
Zeglinski: Ravens -4.5
This miserable game will serve as first-hand evidence for allowing Monday night games to be flexed over an entire season, not just in a select late stretch.
D'Andrea: Ravens -4.5
Jacoby Brissett is at least an adult operating the offense and the Chargers are so, so bad.
Nettuno: Ravens -4.5
Even the banged up Ravens have been more respectable than LA this year.
