Following a rough Week 9 where NFL favorites went 14-1 straight up and 11-3-1 against the spread, sports.yahoo.com outlines three underdogs to back for Week 10 as bettors look to bounce back.
Atlanta Falcons (+3.5) vs. Kansas City Chiefs
The Atlanta Falcons have proven to be an unpredictable team this season, alternating between dominant road wins and puzzling home losses. Despite dropping seven straight games to AFC opponents and facing the 6-2 Kansas City Chiefs, the point spread remains surprisingly short.
This narrow line may be due to concerns regarding Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who played through an apparent elbow injury last week against the Jets and has struggled to push the ball downfield recently. Furthermore, the Chiefs have only secured four truly convincing victories this season, while the Falcons consistently rise to the occasion when expectations are lowest.
Tennessee Titans (+10.5) vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
The Tennessee Titans hold a 7-35 record since the 2024 season began, but they have shown notable improvement over the past month. Following a bye week, the Titans enter this matchup after a close overtime loss to the Bengals, bringing their record to 4-1 against the spread as underdogs of more than six points.
Quarterback Cam Ward is coming off a 304-yard passing performance in Cincinnati, while the Titans’ offense generated a season-high 440 total yards. They face a tough Jacksonville Jaguars squad that boasts a 6-2 record, the NFL’s second-ranked scoring defense, and an NFL-best plus-108 point differential.
Pittsburgh Steelers (+3.5) vs. Cincinnati Bengals
The Cincinnati Bengals and quarterback Joe Burrow enter this matchup on a hot streak, seeking revenge after suffering an upset loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers two and a half months ago. However, the Bengals face a difficult situational spot after traveling to Madrid to play Atlanta last week.
Meanwhile, the 6-2 Steelers come into the Sunday Night Football game well-rested following a bye week and riding a four-game winning streak. Pittsburgh allows just 18 points and 305.6 yards per game, and the defense has grown increasingly stingier during their current win streak, holding opponents to single digits in their most recent outing.
With a record of 10-13 on the season following a 0-2 finish last week, these three matchups form the primary underdog betting recommendations for Week 10.
