49ers (-4.5) at Cowboys: Trade Now
This classic NFC rivalry looked like a good one when the schedule dropped in the spring, with the Dallas Cowboys as 1.5-point home favorites on the original look-ahead line.
Fast forward to Week 10, and the Cowboys come in as 4.5-point home underdogs against the conference's top team.
This spread will swell quickly with early play on the visitors, pushing the line through dead numbers and likely landing on San Francisco 49ers -6 at some point this week.
Dallas’ defense isn’t ready for the 49ers’ jelly, and this Kyle Shanahan vs. Brian Schottenheimer/Christian Parker matchup is about as one-sided as Godzilla vs. Bambi. San Francisco could also have some WRs back in action just in time to shred the Cowboys’ Swiss-cheese secondary.
If you like the 49ers, grab them before this goes to -6 or snatch up the moneyline at a short price now.
Steelers (+3.5) at Bengals: Trade Later
The Cincinnati Bengals stretched their winning streak to four with an impressive offensive showing in Madrid on Sunday morning, torching Atlanta for 34 points.
Cincinnati forgoes the usual bye week after an international game and hosts the rival Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football.
Pittsburgh is coming off a bye and boasts a four-game winning streak of its own. The Steelers also beat the Bengals 30-27 at home in Week 3.
Cincy has sliced up some soft stop units during this stretch but runs into a Pittsburgh defense that’s held its last three foes to 19 points or fewer. The Steelers are analytics darlings too, sitting Top 10 in EPA allowed and DVOA.
These AFC North grudge matches are always tight, and if you like your prime-time pups, wait and see if the Steelers can garner +4 or higher on SNF.

Rams at Cardinals (Under 46.5): Trade Now
The Los Angeles Rams are on the road for the third time in the past four weeks but lean on their reloaded defense for a little revenge in Week 10. Los Angeles was upset by the Arizona Cardinals 18-16 just a few weeks back.
The Rams returned Myles Garrett in Week 9, and this stop unit instantly got a shot in the arm, recording four sacks and two takeaways. Los Angeles took Washington down 20-13, staying well short of the closing total of 47.5.
The Cardinals aren’t providing much pushback. They’re fine with either Gardner Minshew or rookie Carson Beck under center after trading Jacoby Brissett last week. That’s asking a lot of those QBs vs. L.A.'s body snatchers, considering the porous pass protection.
The Rams’ offense hasn’t been anything special, and star WR Puka Nacua could miss Week 10 with a knee injury suffered at the end of Sunday’s game. With the total opening at 46.5, I'm grabbing the Under.
Texans at Browns (Under 39.5): Trade Later
The Houston Texans’ offense has stolen the show after the defense has defined this franchise for the past few seasons.
Houston has poured on the points, scoring 30+ in four of its eight games and going 5-3 Over/Under. That includes a huge day against the L.A. Chargers in Week 9, in which the defense allowed scores to the broke-ass Bolts in garbage time.
The Cleveland Browns defense has been slipping after a strong start to the schedule, giving up 23, 24, and 27 points against some pop-gun attacks in the past three weeks. However, those results all came on the road, and the Browns have a solid home advantage in Week 10.
Texans QB C.J. Stroud sees his passing prowess dampen in outdoor venues (especially in northern cities), with his completions and yards per attempt sinking like a stone. The extended forecast for Huntington Bank Field also shows a threat of rain next Sunday, with game-time temperatures slipping into the 30s.
I’m interested to see if this total ticks up given all the points in the previous games and would bite on the Under if the number gets above 40 O/U.
