Six teams are road favorites and two more are slight underdogs in Week 10.

The 49ers, Bills, Vikings, Falcons, Eagles and Lions are each road favorites. The Jets and Dolphins are both underdogs by just 1 point on the road, according to BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Broncos-Chiefs matchup is the only one of the four divisional matchups to feature both teams with a winning record.

An AFC North matchup kicks off the week with the Cincinnati Bengals taking on the Baltimore Ravens.

Pro Picks expect a close one.

Cincinnati (4-5) at Baltimore (6-3)

Line: Corbi minus 6 1/2

Lamar Jackson and the Ravens look to defeat Joe Burrow and the Bengals for the second straight season in an important AFC North game on Thursday night. Baltimore defeated Cincinnati 41–38 in overtime on October 6. The Bengals are 4-2 against the spread in their last six games, but 0-5 ATS in their last five against the Ravens and 2-8 ATS in the past. 10 games against division opponents.

RAVENS: 31-27

Atlanta (6-3) at New Orleans (2-7)

Line: Falcons minus 3 1/2

Kirk Cousins ​​has helped the Falcons to first place in the NFC South and Atlanta is not looking back. Meanwhile, the Saints collapsed after a promising 2-0 start. New Orleans fired Dennis Allen and promoted special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi, who is making his coaching debut in this one. The Falcons have lost 13 of their last 18 games in New Orleans. But these are two teams heading in opposite directions. The Falcons are 4-1 against the spread in their last five games overall while the Saints are 0-5 ATS in that span.

HIGHEST BET: HALFONS: 27-17

Pittsburgh (6-2) at Washington (7-2)

Line: Commanders minus 2 1/2

Russell Wilson has sparked Pittsburgh’s offense, and the Steelers are coming off a rested and improved offense following the additions of wide receiver Mike Williams and Preston Smith at the trade deadline. The surprise NFC East captains, led by Jayden Daniels, made the biggest splash by adding four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Marshon Lattimore. Steelers are 9-3 against the spread in their last 12 games overall. Washington is 7-2 ATS this season.

UPPER SPECIAL: STEELERS: 23-20

New York Giants (2-7) vs. Carolina (2-7), in Munich, Germany

Line: Giants minus 6

Fans in Germany see the worst of the NFL. The Giants have struggled to score, averaging a league-low 15.4 points per game. Bryce Young led the Panthers to a win last week against the Saints and will get one more opportunity for a team that needs to find out if it has a future in Carolina.

GIANTS: 19-17

New England (2-7) at Chicago (4-4)

Line: Bears minus 6

Choice no. 1, Caleb Williams, lost to the no. 2 Daniels on a Hail Mary two weeks ago. Now, Williams and the Bears face the No. 3, Drake Maye and the Patriots. Williams feels much better at home than on the road – 105.1 vs. 67.2 with home/away pass rating. The Bears have won eight straight games overall at Soldier Field, including three this season. Maye has shown some playmaking ability that should give New England fans hope.

BEARS: 24-16

Buffalo (7-2) at Indianapolis (4-5)

Line: Invoices minus 4

Josh Allen is playing outstanding, mistake-free ball and the Bills are running away with the AFC East. They’ve beaten softer teams on their schedule, but they have tougher challenges ahead, including this one against Joe Flacco and the Colts on the road. All nine Indianapolis games this season have been decided by one possession. The Colts are 6-1 against the spread in their last seven games overall and 6-0 ATS in their last six games against AFC opponents.

BILLS: 26-23

Denver (5-4) at Kansas City (8-0)

Line: Chiefs minus 8 1/2

The two-time undefeated, defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs are starting to hit their stride on offense as Patrick Mahomes and De’Andre Hopkins have made a quick connection. The Chiefs have owned the Broncos, winning 16 of their last 17 games. But this is a different team in Denver. The Broncos are on the rise behind coach Sean Payton and rookie QB Bo Nix. They are 5-2 against the spread in their last seven games overall and 4-1 ATS in their last five games against Kansas City. Chiefs are 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 games overall.

CHIEFS: 26-20

San Francisco (4-4) at Tampa Bay (4-5)

Line: 49ers minus 5 1/2

The injury-depleted Bucs must bounce back a week after a disappointing finish Monday night when they nearly handed the Chiefs their first loss. Baker Mayfield and the offense continue to put up points even without Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. But the defense gives up 27 points per game. The reinvigorated 49ers are coming off the bye and could see the return of Christian McCaffrey. San Francisco has used strong second halves to make deep playoff runs in each of the past two seasons. With upcoming games against Green Bay and Buffalo and tough home games against Seattle, Chicago, the Rams, the 49ers can’t afford to slip up in this one.

49ers: 27-20

Minnesota (6-2) at Jacksonville (2-7)

Line: Vikings minus 4 1/2

The Vikings start three consecutive games on the road. They found a way to win last week despite three turnovers by Sam Darnold. The Jaguars had a chance to complete a stunning comeback win after outscoring Philadelphia 22-0, but Trevor Lawrence’s interception on a poor first down from the 14 cost Jacksonville. The Jaguars have lost five games by five points or less.

VIKINGS: 26-23

Tennessee (2-6) at Los Angeles Chargers (5-3)

Line: Chargers minus 7 1/2

The Chargers have won back-to-back games by at least 17 points and started a three-game home streak. The passing game has opened up behind Justin Herbert, and JK Dobbins is third in the AFC in rushing yards with 620. Maybe Will Levis can come back and spark the Titans, who are already looking to next year.

Chargers: 24-13

Philadelphia (6-2) at Dallas (3-5)

Line: Eagles minus 7 1/2

No Dak Prescott means no chance for Dallas. The Cowboys were already in trouble before Prescott suffered a hamstring injury that will force him to miss several games. Jalen Hurts is back to play as the 2022 MVP runner-up, and the Eagles are on a four-game winning streak. Saquon Barkley has been a major addition for Philadelphia, which has the No. 1 defense. 3 in the league.

Eagles: 30-16

New York Jets (3-6) at Arizona (5-4)

Line: Cardinals minus 1

Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams and Garrett Wilson showed what they can do together last week. Now, the Jets need to rack up wins to have any chance of climbing into the playoff race. The Cardinals are the surprise leaders in the NFC West and have already surpassed their win totals in each of the last two seasons.

JETS: 23-20

Detroit (7-1) at Houston (6-3)

Line: Lei minus 3 1/2

Jared Goff is playing at an MVP level and the high-powered Lions have won six in a row. They added three-time Pro Bowler Za’Darius Smith to bolster the defense and are poised to make a push for the NFC’s No. 1 seed. The Texans need to do a better job of protecting CJ Stroud or they won’t be going anywhere in January. It will help you rely on Joe Mixon running the ball.

LEI: 24-22

Miami (2-6) at Los Angeles Rams (4-4)

Line: rams minus 1

After an impressive win on the road, the Rams find themselves favored at home against a two-win team. It’s a strange line. The oddsmakers clearly give the Dolphins a lot of respect. Tua Tagovailoa is 0-2 since returning from a concussion, but has played superbly. He completed 80.3 percent of his passes with three touchdowns and no interceptions. With Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua back from injuries, Matthew Stafford and LA’s offense is on track. The Rams have won three in a row.

DOLPHINS: 27-26

Last week: Live: 11-4. Against the spread: 7-8.

Overall: Straight up: 94-44. Against the spread: 72-64-2.

Prime time: direct: 21-10. Against the spread: 14-16-1.

Best Bet: Straight: 7-2. Against the spread: 6-3.

Special Upset: Straight Up: 6-3. Against the spread: 6-3.
