Forecaster Frank NFL Week 10: Second Half
Thursday Night
It has been a frustrating year for the Bengals, who, enduring a tough schedule, have posted a record of 4-5. In their first meeting, the Bengals lost in a heartbreaker. The same thing will happen on Thursday as Justin Tucker walks it off in overtime.
NFL in Germany
- Car +6.5 (o/u 40.5)
- Giants 15 Panthers 13
The NFL wants to build the game in Germany; this is not the game to do it with. It essentially Holstein Keil against
Hoffenheim. This game will be terrible and not worth watching back in the States.
Sunday at 1
- Chi -6 (o/u 38.5)
- Bears 31 Patriots 16
The Bears have had two straight bad losses and need a big win against a struggling Patriots team. Expect them to rise to the occasion and get their season back on track.
- Buf -4 (o/u 48)
- Bills 34 Colts 20
The Bills have the division all wrapped up and are now focused on getting the best seed possible. The Colts are barely hanging on, while Joe Flacco struggled last week starting over Anthony Richardson.
- Min -4 (o/u 45)
- Vikings 37 Jaguars 13
The Vikings got back on track last week while the Jaguars' struggles continued. This game feels like it will be a big blowout, as the Jaguars look like a team that has quit.
- Den +8 (o/u 42)
- Chiefs 24 Broncos 20
The Chiefs are the only unbeaten team in the NFL at 8-0, but every game has been close. The Chiefs have only covered three of their wins against the spread.
- NO +3.5 (o/u 46)
- Saints 23 Falcons 20
The Saints' seven-game losing streak has cost Dennis Allen his job. When they play the Falcons, you can throw out the record. Expect them to get the interim boost in the first game with Darren Rizzi.
- TB +6.5 (o/u 50.5)
- 49ers 24 Buccaneers 20
The Buccaneers had their chances to beat the Chiefs on Monday night. The 49ers are just looking to get healthy, as they are 4-4 coming off their bye week. The Niners will win, but the Bucs will keep it close.
- Pit +3 (o/u 45.5)
- Steelers 20 Commanders 17
The Commanders have been one of the NFL's biggest surprises at 7-2. However, they still have a rookie quarterback who could be vulnerable against a veteran Steelers team. The Steelers are at 6-2, as Russell Wilson has been sharp since getting the starting nod.
Sunday Late Games
- LAC -7.5 (o/u 39)
- Chargers 37 Titans 10
The Titans squeezed out a win in Foxboro last week; they may not win another. The Chargers, meanwhile, appear to be hitting their stride. They are healthy and are learning Jim Harbaugh's system.
- Ari +1 (o/u 46)
- Cardinals 23 Jets 20
In close games, the Jets tend to find ways to lose games, while the Cardinals have shown a tendency to win games late. That trend continues as Chad Ryland gets another walk-off field goal.
- Phi -7 (o/u 43)
- Eagles 41 Cowboys 10
The Eagles' offense has been solid over the past few weeks, while the Cowboys have been a disaster all season. With Dak Prescott sidelined, expect their home struggles to continue as their season slips away.
Sunday Night
- Det -3.5 (o/u 49)
- Lions 31 Texans 20
This could be a fun primetime game. The Lions' offense is clicking, while the Texans' offense deals with injuries. Expect a good game as the Lions continue to roar on both sides of the field.
Monday Night
- LAR -1 (o/u 50)
- Rams 31 Dolphins 23
The Dolphins are like shrinky dinks. They tend to shrink and shrivel up under the heat and lights of primetime.
