Best Bets: NFL 2026 Week 10 Picks, Props and Parlays

Predictions and Picks plus Tips, Totals and Teasers with information you can bet on for Week 10

NFL Week 10 kicks off Thursday night with one of seven division contests featuring the NFC East-leading NY Giants (5-2-1) hosting the Commanders (2-5-1). Those two teams played to a 27-27 tie in Week 5, and we have a totals tip below on that contest. Our Week 10 preview includes more picks, props and parlays plus tips, totals, teasers and trends as another week of information you can bet includes numerous road favorites with seven of the 14 contests. 

That's following a huge week for most public and recreational bettors who took Week 9 favorites that went 14-1 straight up and 11-3-1 against the spread including 8-0 SU and 7-0-1 ATS on road favorites. It was the best week for NFL favorites since 2004, and sent shockwaves through most top online sportsbooks as they went to the outhouse after witnessing the "bloodbath" and "one of the worst weekends and akin to a losing Super Bowl result." 

That includes top online sportsbook BetOnline, who acknowledged Sunday and congratulated Week 9 bettors.

Quarterbacks on the move and injured

More trade deadline moves included a quarterback change here in Las Vegas with Kirk Cousins going from the Raiders back to the Vikings to help improve the NFL's second-worst offense based on expected points added (EPA). The Raiders (4-5) now turn to rookie Fernando Mendoza to lead the offense that has averaged 26.4 points overall (top 8), but last in the AFC in rushing (73 ypg, 2.9 yards per rush). 

Fernando Mendoza becomes the 21st different starting quarterback on 13 teams this season, and the first in the AFC West. The Ravens (4-5) are in last place in the AFC North, and Baltimore traded for Jacoby Brissett from the Cardinals this past week. Brissett will be the fourth starting QB for the Ravens this season as they host the winless Chargers (0-8) on Monday Night Football. The NFC North is loaded with all winning teams and the Vikings (6-2) join the Bears (7-2) with a QB change, but Caleb Williams has returned from injury after missing three games. The Lions (6-2) are the only NFC North team without a division loss (2-0), and the Packers (6-3) tackle the Vikings this Sunday at Lambeau Field with current NFL passing leader Jordan Love (2,618 yards) off a huge game and win over the Patriots going 23-of-29 passing for 372 yards and 3 touchdowns. Recall Kirk Cousins was carted off Lambeau Field in Oct., 2023 after suffering a torn Achilles tendon in his final game for the Vikings before leaving in free agency to the Falcons. Minnesota rallied to beat Green Bay in Week 1 this season, 39-22 despite the Packers 419-239 yards edge. 

Current MVP favorites are Joe Burrow (+190), Josh Allen (+300), Jordan Love (+450), Brock Purdy (+450) and Trevor Lawrence (+600) followed byCaleb Williams (+4000) and Patrick Mahomes (+4500) with odds from BetOnline.    

Division Games

Along with the Commanders-Giants and Vikings-Packers, the Steelers-Bengals game in Cincinnati on Sunday Night football is the other marquee matchup between 6-2 teams leading the AFC North. The Steelers hold the defensive edges in all four categories mentioned below, but "Cool Joe" Burrow is the best and leading the AFC in passing with 2,386 yards and league-high 23 TD passes. The Bills-Jets game is a short week for Buffalo (7-1) as a big road favorite with the Jets (2-7) on a 4-game losing streak allowing at least 26 points in each of those four contests. New York's bumbling coach says the Jets are "right on the cusp" of a breakthrough and winning. The GM, staff and players better hope so, as beleaguered coach Glenn is 5-21 in two years leading the Jets.

The Jaguars-Titans AFC South game has the Jaguars (6-2) as a double-digit road favorite against the Titans (1-7), who are off a bye. Jacksonville leads the NFL in points differential (+108) followed by the 49ers (+79), Bills (+69) and Bengals (+65). The Jaguars (+750) are now a Super Bowl favorite just behind the Bills (+600) and 49ers (+575). The Rams-Cardinals matchup will have rookie QB Carson Beck make his NFL starting debut the same week as Mendoza after those two led Miami and Indiana in the College Football Playoff national championship game last season. The Panthers-Saints game is for first place in the chaotic NFC South, where both teams are 3-5 and in first place. 

More notes on the NFC North teams this season, who are a combined 20-4 SU in non-division games. That's the best such record by any division through Week 9 in over 40 years, per the Totals Tipsheet at Playbook Sports.

The NFC North is the first division in NFL history with every team 3 games or more above .500 through Week 9. Then there is the futility of the NFC South, who is setting records as the first division in NFL history with every team 2 games or more below .500 through Week 9.

Winning With Defensive Stats

My recent posts on X and coverage in OSGA shows some of my research and notes from four key defensive stats I use to assist us in our handicapping and point spread prognosis to help us find and bet more winners. This guideline is more beneficial the second half of the season. When a team is better in 3-4 defensive stats from our pre-game matchup analysis, it won at a 64% ATS rate last season from Week 8 forward on nearly 100 games. Last week, those teams that had the stats edge in Total Yards, Yards per Play, Yards per Rush and Points allowed went 7-3 ATS including 4-0 ATS on teams that were better in all four categories. 

Unfortunately, I only used one of those as a Week 9 opinion winner as our posted spread opinions had a terrible week. I posted more opinions earlier last week without waiting until Friday injury reports and other data including NFL weather, which will have an impact on and the Commanders-Giants Thursday night football game. 

This week there are 12 matchups that include teams with better defensive stats in 3-4 categories. Eight of those teams are better in all four categories, and we'll be researching and handicapping more before updating additional picks and opinions this week while recognizing the line moves and fluid market.

There is much more to handicapping the matchups and stats, including quarterback play and injuries, which has impacted so many teams again this season. We'll evaluate more rushing stats and point of attack play and post more betting data and stats yet this month.
