NFL WEEK 10 PREVIEW
Seahawks (6-3) at Bucs (4-5)
TV: 9:30 a.m. EST Sunday, NFL Network
Tipico Sportsbook line: Buccaneers by 3
Tom Brady could become the first quarterback in NFL history to win a game in four countries when he leads Tampa Bay against QB Geno Smith’s Seahawks in Munich. Despite their subpar record, the Buccaneers share first place in the NFC South. NFC Westleading Seattle aims to continue its Cinderella story.
Vikings (7-1) at Bills (6-2) TV: 1 p.m. EST Sunday, Fox
Tipico Sportsbook line: Bills by 3 1⁄2
The Bills are looking for redemption after a surprising loss to the Jets but face a tough opponent in QB Kirk Cousins’ Vikings, who might be facing their hardest test yet. However, Buffalo is monitoring QB Josh Allen’s elbow injury and coach Sean McDermott likely won’t announce the starter until game day. Can Cousins and star receiver Justin Jefferson cook up some magic in Buffalo, or will Allen or backup Case Keenum (who used to play for the Vikings), Stefon Diggs (who also used to play for Minnesota) and Co. prove too much to handle?
Lions (2-6) at Bears (3-6)
TV: 1 p.m. EST Sunday, Fox
Tipico Sportsbook line: Bears by 2 1⁄2
QB Justin Fields may be becoming a superstar before our eyes, and his Bears, despite the Week 9 loss, look to keep positive momentum going against QB Jared Goff’s Lions, who are coming off an upset of the Packers and Aaron Rodgers.
Broncos (3-5) at Titans (5-3) TV: 1 p.m. EST Sunday, CBS
Tipico Sportsbook line: Titans by 2 1⁄2
Two teams at a crossroads in terms of offensive production. The Titans had no discernible passing game with Malik Willis behind center, and while that could change if QB Ryan Tannehill is healthy enough to go, it’ll be interesting to see how it stakes up against the Denver defense.
Jaguars (3-6) at Chiefs (6-2)
TV: 1 p.m. EST Sunday, CBS
Tipico Sportsbook line: Chiefs by 9
The Chiefs and QB Patrick Mahomes come in as favorites, but the Jags are feisty behind QB Trevor Lawrence, RB Travis Etienne and WR Christian Kirk.
Browns (3-5) at Dolphins (6-3)
TV: 1 p.m. EST Sunday, CBS
Tipico Sportsbook line: Dolphins by 3 1⁄2
The Dolphins have been a tough team to beat with QB Tua Tagovailoa at the helm passing to Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, posing a tough task for Kevin Stefanski’s Browns. QB Jacoby Brissett is still in command of the Cleveland offense.
Texans (1-6-1) at Giants (6-2) TV: 1 p.m. EST Sunday, CBS
Tipico Sportsbook line: Giants by 5
RB Saquon Barkley and the Giants look to continue making noise in the NFC East. Will the Texans with QB Davis Mills and RB Dameon Pierce be able to pull off a surprise win for veteran coach Lovie Smith?
Saints (3-6) at Steelers (2-6)
TV: 1 p.m. EST Sunday, Fox
Tipico Sportsbook line: Saints by 2
The Steelers are fresh off a bye, while the Saints are coming off a short week following an “MNF” loss. Could QB Kenny Pickett, RB Najee Harris and Pittsburgh pick up an underdog victory?
Colts (3-5-1) at Raiders (2-6) TV: 4:05 p.m. EST Sunday, CBS
Tipico Sportsbook line: Raiders by 6
Two teams struggling to find their footing this season, the Colts, with new interim coach Jeff Saturday and QB Sam Ehlinger, travel to Las Vegas to take on the Raiders and QB David Carr. The Raiders have struggled to finish games this season.
Cardinals (3-6) at Rams (3-5)
TV: 4:25 p.m. EST Sunday, Fox
Tipico Sportsbook line: Rams by 1 1⁄2
Two teams looking to find their footing in the NFC West, Kyler Murray leads the Cardinals into Los Angeles to face quarterback counterpart Matthew Stafford and the Rams. The Rams have historically dominated the Cardinals.
Cowboys (6-2) at Packers (3-6)
TV: 4:25 p.m. EST Sunday, Fox
Tipico Sportsbook line: Cowboys by 5
This game likely looked a lot better on paper prior to the season, as Aaron Rodgers’ Packers are limping into this matchup against the Cowboys. Dallas looks resurgent in the wake of QB Dak Prescott’s return from injury.
Chargers (5-3) at 49ers (4-4) TV: 8:20 p.m. EST Sunday, NBC
Tipico Sportsbook line: 49ers by 7
Justin Herbert and the Chargers (5-3) have the better record, but it’s QB Jimmy Garoppolo and the 49ers who are favored. The 49ers have been rolling on offense since adding RB Christian McCaffrey to a unit that already includes Deebo Samuel and George Kittle. But 49ers cornerback Jason Verrett suffered a torn Achilles tendon during Wednesday’s practice, sidelining him for the remainder of the season. Meanwhile, the Chargers are banged up on both sides of the ball but have been scrapping to get wins.
Commanders (4-5) at Eagles (8-0)
TV: 8:15 p.m. EST Monday, ESPN
Tipico Sportsbook line: Eagles by 10 1⁄2
The Eagles and QB Jalen Hurts look to keep their undefeated season alive when they host Ron Rivera’s Commanders in an NFC East showdown. The Commanders have been scrappy since QB Taylor Heinecke took over for injured Carson Wentz. Hurts and WRs A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith are difficult to contain.
