New Orleans Saints (-2.5) vs. Minnesota Vikings
The New Orleans Saints quietly sit on top of the NFC South at 5-4. The Saints are set to visit the Minnesota Vikings in Week 10, with both teams entering on multi-game win streaks. The Vikings have won four in a row, while the Saints have won two in a row. Without Kirk Cousins at quarterback, the Vikings are relying on Joshua Dobbs as their signal-caller. It was a nice story to see him put together a comeback victory in Week 9, but we don't see that same Cinderella magic transpiring in Week 10 against this Saints defense. New Orleans goes on the road and wins by a field goal or more.
Green Bay Packers vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (-3)
To say it's been a struggle on offense for the majority of the year for the Pittsburgh Steelers would be an understatement. Still, it's not hard to make the case that offensive coordinator Matt Canada called his best game of the season in their Week 9 victory over Tennessee. The Steelers last played on Thursday night and had some extra time to prepare for this spot against the Green Bay Packers at home on Sunday. We struggle to see the Packers being able to manufacture much of any offense here. Pittsburgh wins by five or more.
Atlanta Falcons (-1.5) vs. Arizona Cardinals
The Atlanta Falcons have been tripping up lately and lost two straight games. Many are blaming the stubbornness of head coach Arthur Smith, and we'd have trouble arguing with you if you did. Still, the Falcons are better than the Arizona Cardinals on both sides of the football, even with the impending return of Kyler Murray. Atlanta finds a way to get back in the win column and wins this game by four or more.
Houston Texans vs. Cincinnati Bengals (-6.5)
It's no secret that the start of the season was less than ideal for the Cincinnati Bengals. They've completely turned the tide, though, and have won four in a row. Not only are the Bengals winning games, they're beating real contending teams in doing so. The Bengals are welcoming red-hot rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud to town on Sunday. Expect the Bengals to give him a "welcome to the league" moment and win this game by double figures.
Indianapolis Colts (-1.5) vs. New England Patriots (In Frankfurt, Germany)
Although their record isn't perfect at 4-5, we've grown to be pretty impressed with what the Indianapolis Colts have accomplished this season. This is a football team that can run the ball, and we expect that to continue on Sunday morning in Frankfurt, Germany. It's hard to envision a lot of points being scored in this contest, and we can't see New England mustering up enough offense to keep pace. Look for the Colts to come out on top by a field goal on more.
