CBS Sports writers Jordan Dajani and Jared Dubin discuss the key Week 10 NFL games, offering predictions and betting insights for contests such as the Commanders-Giants, Patriots-Lions and Chiefs-Falcons.
CBS Sports analysts Jordan Dajani and Jared Dubin evaluated the NFL’s Week 10 slate, highlighting the first games for players acquired at the trade deadline and providing their picks based on DraftKings lines taken on Nov. 11.
For the Thursday night contest between the Washington Commanders and the New York Giants, Dajani noted the Commanders’ recent 4-0-1 record and 4-1 ATS performance against the Giants, favoring a close win for Washington (21-20). Dubin, however, expressed doubt about Washington’s offensive efficiency and backed the Giants (20-14).
In Munich, the Patriots face the Lions. Dajani pointed to New England’s recent injuries at running back and praised Detroit’s improving defense, predicting a Lions victory (28-20). Dubin echoed concerns about the Patriots’ depleted skill positions and also favored Detroit (30-21).
The Chiefs travel to Atlanta, and both analysts expect Kansas City to cover the -3.5 spread. Dajani highlighted the addition of wideout Josh Downs as a potential boost for Patrick Mahomes, while Dubin emphasized Atlanta’s recent struggles against the run and the impact of the new receiver, projecting scores of 26-21 and 27-16 respectively.
In the divisional clash between the Vikings and Packers, Dajani cited Kirk Cousins’ strong passing numbers and chemistry with Justin Jefferson, but still gave a slight edge to Green Bay (20-17). Dubin preferred a low-scoring game and trusted Jordan Love, predicting a Packers win (17-14).
San Francisco’s 49ers host the Cowboys, with both writers favoring San Francisco. Dajani referenced the 49ers’ high touchdown-per-drive rate and recent balanced scoring, while Dubin highlighted the efficiency of Brock Purdy and Kyle Shanahan, forecasting wins for the 49ers (30-26 and 34-23).
The Bengals-Steelers Sunday night matchup sees Dajani backing Joe Burrow’s MVP-caliber season and predicting a Bengals win (30-24). Dubin also expects a Bengals victory but notes a tighter margin (23-20).
Finally, for Monday night’s Chargers-Ravens game, Dajani projected a close contest with the Ravens prevailing (20-17), citing the Chargers’ recent struggles and the uncertainty surrounding Baltimore’s new quarterback.
Overall, the analysts’ selections reflect a mix of recent performance trends, player acquisitions, and injury updates as they assess each game’s betting outlook.
