NFL Week 10 Picks: Experts Predict Lions, Chiefs and 49ers Wins
Main Story: CBS Sports’ Jordan Dajani and Jared Dubin agree on four Week 10 picks: Detroit, Kansas City, San Francisco and Cincinnati to win. They differ on Commanders-Giants, while both expect close games in Vikings-Packers and Ravens-Chargers.
By the Numbers- Both experts picked the Lions by 2.5 points, the Chiefs by 3.5, the 49ers by 3.5 and the Bengals by 3.5.
- Washington is 4-1 against the spread in its last five games against the Giants; the teams tied in their previous meeting.
- Detroit has allowed 15.5 points and 286.3 yards per game during its four-game winning streak.
- Kirk Cousins has 20 passing touchdowns and averages 260 passing yards per game.
- San Francisco has scored touchdowns on 37.2% of its drives, the fifth-best rate by an NFL team since 2000.
Several picks come with clear caveats: Washington and New England have injury concerns, Cousins is joining Minnesota midseason, and the Chiefs’ new receiver Josh Downs may need time to settle in. Both analysts also expect the Vikings-Packers and Bengals-Steelers rematches to be tighter than the teams’ offensive profiles might suggest.
State of Play- Dajani backs Washington as a 2.5-point underdog; Dubin takes the Giants at the same spread.
- Both analysts favor Kansas City, Detroit, San Francisco and Cincinnati.
- Both take Minnesota to cover 3.5 points against Green Bay, while predicting a Packers win.
- Both expect Baltimore to beat Los Angeles, but take the Chargers to cover 4.5 points.
The Week 10 matchups will test whether recent roster changes can make an immediate difference, particularly for Cousins in Minnesota and Downs in Kansas City. The selections were based on sportsbook lines recorded Nov. 11.
Bottom LineThe experts largely see familiar favorites prevailing, but they’re not predicting easy wins: injuries, divisional familiarity and midseason adjustments make the underdog spreads especially worth watching.
