Keenan Allen Jersey Its a unique week of scheduling in the NFL for Week 10, as coverage of the Masters pushes several games to the late afternoon slate and gives us the rare week where we have more games during the 4 p.m. ET window than in the 1 p.m. window. That late slate includes a big matchup between two playoff-caliber teams in the Bills and Cardinals, and an intriguing rookie QB showdown between Justin Herbert and Tua Tagovailoa in the Chargers-Dolphins matchup. The day ends with the Ravens heading into Foxborough as ma sive favorites against the Patriots on Sunday Night Football.Each week, well collect all of the best picks and gambling content from CBSSports.com and SportsLine in one place, so you can get picks against the spread from our CBS Sports experts as well as additional feature content for each game, including plays from top SportsLine experts and the SportsLine Projection Model, best bets from our staff, survivor picks and more.

Remember when the Bucs were the best team in football? That was le s than a week ago. Now were wondering about their offenses future and Bruce Arians is openly calling out Antonio Browns snap counts. Should make for a fun next couple of weeks. This reeks of Tom Brady taking out his frustrations, though. Carolina is frisky as all get out, but theyre not great defensively and I think Tampas front four can create i sues for Teddy Bridgewater. -- Will Brinson on why he has the Buccaneers as a best betBrinson gave , which you can find in his Thursday column.

Thats hard to believe. The Giants almost beat the Eagles in Philly a few weeks back, but this Eagles team is much healthier. That matters.

The great equalizer could be the weather, as its expected to be very windy in Green Bay for this game, but even if that happens you have to like the Packers chances with Aaron Jones against this Jaguars defense. The other obvious options include the Saints and Steelers, two teams that many pool players may have already used. The sleeper option is an Eagles team with an offense thats much healthier coming out of the bye.But dont just take my advice. Head over to SportsLine to see which team the SportsLine Projection Model is going with in survivor pools. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up over $7,600 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception five-plus years ago.

Pete Prisco Jason La Canfora Will Brinson Jared Dubin Ryan Wilson John Breech Dave Richard Jamey Eisenberg Jaguars at Packers (-13.5) Texans at BrownsTime:Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (FOX), stream on(Try for free) This game strikes me as a perfect storm for the Cleveland Browns. Its looking more and more likely that Nick Chubb will be returning to the backfield, which is a significant boost to the teams ground game. The Browns havent been nearly as effective running the ball with Kareem Hunt as the lead back as they were when Hunt was a secondary punch to Nick Chubb. What isnt as widely-noticed is that Clevelands also likely to get guard Wyatt Teller back on the offensive line too, and his absence has played a significant role in the drop-off of Clevelands ground game as well. With both of them likely back, and facing a porous Houston rush defense (28th in DVOA, 23rd in succe s rate), the Browns offense should have a strong game on Sunday. -- Tom Fornelli on why the Browns are one of his best betsFornelli is 15-11-1 on the year after a winning week, and you can in his Thursday column. Pete Prisco Jason La Canfora Will Brinson Jared Dubin Ryan Wilson John Breech Dave Richard Jamey Eisenberg Texans at Browns (-3) Washington at LionsTime:Sunday, 1 p.m. ET (FOX), stream on(Try for free) This one is a contest-play only as it remains off the board in many places, though youll likely see something around this number with Matthew Stafford avoiding a final injury tag. But even though theres a big DVOA gap between these teams, I think Washington is the better team moving forward. The QB change might be a net positive, as Alex Smith is the type of veteran who can manage games and let his defense beat bad teams. And the Lions are bad at this point, and they should struggle to throw the ball against a Washington defense that ranks No. 1 in pa s DVOA. Expect Washington to run the ball easily against the struggling Detroit defense and pull off an outright win. -- R.J. White on why Washington is one of his best betsIve cashed twice in the Las Vegas SuperContest, widely considered the toughest sports gambling competition in the world. Ive also hit on over 57% of my picks over the past five years combined.

Pete Prisco Jason La Canfora Will Brinson Jared Dubin Ryan Wilson John Breech Dave Richard Jamey Eisenberg Washington at Lions (-4) Broncos at RaidersTime:Sunday, 4:05 p.m. ET (CBS), stream onPete Prisco: I think theyre going to go up and down the field. I think (Drew) Lock is starting to play better, and I dont believe in the Raiders defense at all. We saw that with (Justin) Herbert last week, who shouldve won the game. ... But I think both teams will score here. I dont think the Raiders are very good on defense, and I think the Broncos have some kind of i sues. Im gonna go Broncos plus the points, and I like the Over. These arent my best bets, but I like the Over.R.J. White: Im on both those picks as well but I do have the Over as a best bet. Las Vegas is fourth in points per drive, their defense is 32nd. All their games have gone over 51 except for that windy Cleveland game ... and Denver can score on bad defenses. Their last two games have hit 61 each of the last two weeks, so they can hold up their end of the bargain there. My power ratings lean Vegas on the line, but I think the backdoors open just in the sense that I dont like taking the Raiders as a medium-to-big favorite just because their defense is so bad.Will Brinson: I love the Over here too, so I gue s were going to throw it in the parlay.Thats from the Pick Six Podcast, where I join Pete Prisco, Kenny White and Will Brinson every Friday to break down all the games from a gambling perspective, give out best bets and put together a Pick Six Parlay, which has hit four times this season. Give it a listen below andin your feed daily. Pete Prisco Jason La Canfora Will Brinson Jared Dubin Ryan Wilson John Breech Dave Richard Jamey Eisenberg Broncos at Raiders (-5) Chargers at DolphinsTime:Sunday, 4:05 p.m. ET (CBS), stream onGiven that Justin Herbert and Tua Tagovailoa were taken back-to-back in the 2020 NFL Draft, these two quarterbacks are going to be linked throughout their respective careers. For the first time, well now be able to see them go head-to-head when the Chargers travel to Miami to face the Dolphins. This is the first time that Tagovailoa will be a favorite, entering this game 2-0 as a starter. The fifth overall pick came out of his shell in Week 9, throwing for 248 yards and two touchdowns in a win against the Cardinals. While Herbert has been phenomenal to begin his Chargers career, L.A. has found ways to lose in dramatic fashion, including last week when the young quarterback threw the game-winning touchdown, but his receiver wasnt able to fully come down with it, and the play was overturned a called an incomplete pa s. This game will be extremely close and both quarterbacks will play well, but I side with a Dolphins defense that has been superb over the last few weeks. Miami also rolls into this game covering in four straight. -- Tyler Sullivan on why the Dolphins are one of his best betsSully has , and you can find them all in his Thursday column. Pete Prisco Jason La Canfora Will Brinson Jared Dubin Ryan Wilson John Breech Dave Richard Jamey Eisenberg Chargers at Dolphins (-2.5) Bills at CardinalsTime:Sunday, 4:05 p.m. ET (CBS), stream onThis game is probably my favorite matchup of the week, which is definitely something I never thought Id say about a Bills-Cardinals game. This game is going to come down to two things, and its the same two things that every Bills game comes Uchenna Nwosu Jersey down to every week: How well Josh Allen plays and how well Buffalos defense plays. Surprisingly, the Bills defense actually played well against Ru sell Wilson on Sunday, which makes me think they could have another big week. If they figured out how to slow down Wilson, I think we could see them do the same thing to Murray. As for Allen, if hes just 75% as good as he was against the Seahawks, then I think Buffalo wins here. Now, theres no guarantee thats going to happen because the Cardinals defense is 75 times better than Seattles, but Allen has been so good this season that Ive decided I should stop picking against him. -- John Breech on why hes taking the Bills to pull off the upset winBreechs worst picks have come in Cardinals games this year, where hes 2-6 straight up. Will he break the funk this week? in his Tuesday column. Pete Prisco Jason La Canfora Will Brinson Jared Dubin Ryan Wilson John Breech Dave Richard Jamey Eisenberg Bills at Cardinals (-2.5) Seahawks at RamsTime:Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET (FOX), stream on(Try for free)I love the Rams this week. Seattle gives up an NFL-worst 455.8 yards per game. L.A. is 8-1 ATS in its last nine games following a lo s, and the Rams had an extra week to stew over their defeat in Miami. Sean McVay will have his team ready for this one. -- Hammerin Hank Goldberg on why the Rams are one of his best betsA legendary Vegas handicapper, Goldberg is on a 36-21 stretch with his best bets over the last season-plus. You can over at SportsLine. Pete Prisco Jason La Canfora Will Brinson Jared Dubin Ryan Wilson John Breech Dave Richard Jamey Eisenberg Seahawks at Rams (-2) 49ers at SaintsTime:Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET (FOX), stream on(Try for free)The 49ers will get several players back that they didnt have available last week but will still be without Jimmy Garoppolo and George Kittle. This is a big spread, and San Francisco hasnt been a touchdown underdog since 2018. Still, Nick Mullens went 0-2 against the spread as a touchdown underdog in 2018, losing both games by at least 16 points. A reason I like the Saints moving forward is that Drew Brees has his two top wideouts back in Michael Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders. The two combined to record nine catches for 89 yards and a touchdown against the Buccaneers last Sunday night. Also, its pretty incredible that Alvin Kamara registered just 49 total yards in a 38-3 blowout! Ill take the Saints to cover this week against an ailing 49ers team. -- Jordan Dajani on why the Saints are one of his best betsDajani is 75-52-3 with his ATS picks on the season, and in his Thursday column. Pete Prisco Jason La Canfora Will Brinson Jared Dubin Ryan Wilson John Breech Dave Richard Jamey Eisenberg 49ers at Saints (-9.5) Bengals at SteelersTime:Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET (FOX), stream on(Try for free)Give me another team rested and refreshed coming off the bye. The Bengals have the kind of offensive talent that could make a few things happen, even against this Pittsburgh defense. The Steelers are having trouble defending the run to the outside and, even without Joe Mixon, I think Gio Bernard could be a problem for the Steelers running outside zone and catching balls in the screen game. Some of the empty-set five-wide stuff that the Bengals really like to do can also be problematic for the Steelers. On offense Pittsburgh is very hit or mi s right now, the pa sing game has been super inconsistent and they have been very quick to abandon James Connor in the ground game in recent weeks. Theyve been playing with fire all season, winning games by turning it on and off here or there, but thats going to catch up with them at some point. Add in the fact that a good chunk of key players, including quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, didnt practice all week due to being on the COVID-19 restricted list, and I see the opportunity for the Bengals to keep things close. -- Jason La Canfora on why the Bengals are one of his best betsLa Canfora is loading up on best bets this week with four total.
