NFL Week 10 action brings the final early-morning game of the season from Europe, featuring a matchup between the Patriots and Lions in Munich. Following a strong Week 9 performance with a 14-1 straight-up record, analysts share their latest predictions and score projections for the upcoming slate.
Commanders at Giants
According to CBS Sports Headlines, the Washington Commanders head into Week 10 needing a win to stay alive in the NFC East race against a banged-up New York Giants squad. The Commanders have struggled with late-game execution in recent weeks, notably failing to secure a win due to clock management issues against the Giants earlier in the season and attempting an ill-fated lateral play against the Rams. Despite these coaching and execution hurdles, the desperate Commanders are projected to secure a narrow victory.
PICK: Commanders 24-17 over Giants
Patriots vs. Lions in Munich
The New England Patriots and Detroit Lions will square off in Munich, Germany, for the final 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff of the season. The Patriots have struggled significantly against NFC North opponents this year, surrendering an average of 37.5 points per game in those matchups. Meanwhile, the NFC North division has dominated overall play, boasting a 24-4 record against other divisions. With Jared Goff ranking in the top five in passing yards per game and New England carrying one of the league’s weakest passing defenses, the Lions enter the matchup as favorites.
PICK: Lions 34-27 over Patriots
Texans at Browns
Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns prepare to face the Houston Texans in a high-stakes meeting. Since trading Watson to Cleveland in 2022, the Texans have reached the playoffs three times and captured two division titles, while Watson has missed significant time due to injuries. Watson enters the game having been sacked 33 times this season—the most in the NFL—and will face a formidable Texans pass rush that leads the league with 29 sacks.
PICK: Texans 24-16 over Browns
Vikings at Packers
The Minnesota Vikings travel to face the Green Bay Packers following consecutive losses to the Lions and Bills. Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love leads the NFC in passing yards per game at 290.9 and is riding a streak of five straight games with at least 270 passing yards, supported by standout performances from receivers Matthew Golden and Christian Watson. Despite an earlier season loss to Minnesota, the Packers are favored to defend their home turf.
PICK: Packers 20-17 over Vikings
Steelers at Bengals
The Cincinnati Bengals return from Madrid, Spain, to face a severe historical disadvantage against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Teams returning from international games to play an opponent coming off a bye week hold an 0-5 all-time record, averaging just 15 points per contest. Despite this international travel curse and the Steelers’ strengths in the running game and tight end usage, Joe Burrow and the Bengals are expected to overcome the odds at home in prime time.
PICK: Bengals 27-24 over Steelers
Additional Week 10 Predictions
Rounding out the rest of the Week 10 schedule, analysts project victories for the Chiefs over the Falcons (27-20), the Jaguars over the Titans (31-16), the Colts over the Dolphins (19-16), and the Panthers over the Saints (23-20). Additional predictions include the Bills defeating the Jets (30-20), the Seahawks topping the Raiders (27-17), the Rams beating the Cardinals (23-16), the 49ers overcoming the Cowboys (31-24), and the Ravens edging the Chargers (20-16).
