BlueBet previews the NFL Week 10 action below. Read on for our best bets per game and an overview of the feature games this week.
Seattle Seahawks at Arizona Cardinals
Date: Friday 12:25 pm. Venue: Glendale
Odds: Cardinals $3.07, Seahawks $1.40
The Cardinals host the Seahawks on Friday at Glendale. We'll provide a betting preview of the game below.
Form Guide:
The 4-4 Cardinals returned from the bye last week and beat the 49ers 20-10. They sit at .500 at the middle mark of the season and will need to defeat the Seahawks at home for a chance at playoff action.
The Seahawks winning streak was ended last week as the Redskins scored late in a 17-14 result. Seattle are chasing the Rams for the NFC West division and this is a key matchup against the Cardinals.
Head to Head Record:
The two sides played in contrasting matchups last season. The Cardinals beat them 34-31 in Seattle. But in the last meeting at Arizona, the scoreline was just a 6-6 tie after both kickers failed in front of the sticks. But overall, the Seahawks have a 3-1-1 record on the road against them.
Point Spread:
The Seahawks are favourites in the betting and they’re 4-1 ATS on the road against the Cardinals. The Cardinals also have a poor home record against the line at 5-13. They’re also 2-6 ATS this season overall. So we would take the Seahawks to cover.
Best bet: Seahawks -5.5 ($1.91)
Total Points:
In this matchup at Arizona, the over total is 10-3. The last meeting here resulted in 12 points but it’s an anomaly in the head to head. The Seahawks had scored 34 or more points in the previous 3 wins in Phoenix. The Cardinals are ranked poorly in defence and we’re tipping Russell Wilson will lead his offence down the field often. Friday games this season have also been high scoring so we’re betting on the over total.
Best bet: Over Total Points (TBA)
Tip:
Seahawks HT/FT ($1.80)
Despite a loss last week, the Seahawks have a 2-0 record on the road and they have a good record in Arizona. So we’ll take the Seahawks to win this.
New England Patriots at Denver Broncos
Date: Monday 12:30 pm. Venue: Denver
Odds: Broncos $3.54, Patriots $1.32
The Broncos host the Patriots on Monday at Denver. We'll provide a betting preview of the game below.
Form Guide:
The 6-2 Patriots head to Denver for the late Monday game. They’re coming off the bye and the Pats have won four straight games. They’ve seemed to have fixed the defensive woes of early season as they have allowed just 12.75 ppg in those 4 wins.
Denver’s season is right on the line this week after a fourth successive loss. The Eagles handed them a 51-23 thrashing and they now sit at 3-5 on the season. For this game, they’ll return to Brock Osweiller under centre and they’ll hope he can turnaround a poor offence over the last few games.
Head to Head Record:
The Patriots/Broncos rivalry has been great to watch lately as they’ve met in the playoffs three times since 2012. This will be the fourth straight matchup at Denver and the Broncos are 2-1 in those games. However, the Patriots won here last season 16-3 and the Broncos current form is a concern.
Point Spread:
The Patriots are 7 point favourites in this game and they have a 6-3 record ATS versus the Broncos. Overall in their last 16 games, the Patriots are 12-4 ATS. While for the Broncos, they’re just 1-5 ATS overall in their last 6 games and they’re coming off 51 points allowed. So we’ll take the Patriots to cover.
Best bet: Patriots -7 ($1.85)
Total Points:
Games involving the Patriots seemed to be an easy over total pick but lately the defence has been on fire. So we’ll be looking at the unders here. It’s 5-2 in the last 7 meetings in Denver and the Broncos have struggled to score points. They’re also starting a new quarterback and the Patriots D should enjoy facing Osweiller. So take the under total.
Best bet: Under 46.5 points ($1.85)
Tip:
Patriots HT/FT ($1.60)
It’s hard to back against the in-form Patriots and the mastermind duo of Brady/Belichick. They’ll be fresh from the bye and pushing for home field advantage in the AFC.
Miami Dolphins at Carolina Panthers
Date: Tuesday 12:30 pm. Venue: Charlotte
Odds: Panthers $1.24, Dolphins $4.30
The Panthers host the Dolphins on Tuesday at Charlotte. We'll provide a betting preview of the game below.
Form Guide:
The Dolphins are back in primetime and we hope they can find some form this week. They lost by 3 points against the Raiders and gave away sloppy penalties all game. In their last road game, the Dolphins were shutout 40-0 and that will be in the back of their minds here against the Panthers.
Carolina have beaten two divisional rivals over the past few weeks. They beat the Falcons by 3 and the Bucs by 14. So they’re back in the playoff race and can stake their claims with a home win against the Dolphins.
Head to Head Record:
The two sides last met in 2013 and the Panthers got the win 20-16. Since 1998, they’ve played each other just twice in Carolina and the Dolphins are 2-0 in those games. Overall in the last 5, the Dolphins are 4-1.
Point Spread:
The Dolphins are 9 point underdogs for this game but they’re 5-0 ATS when playing the Panthers. This season they’re 2-3-2 ATS and they should be able to keep this close. The Panthers last 2 home games have finished under a 6 point margin so we’ll take the Dolphins to cover here.
Best bet: Dolphins +9 ($1.92)
Total Points:
In this matchup, the under total is 4-1. The under total is also 6-3 in the Dolphins last 9 games and 4-1 in their last 5 road games. The Panthers D averages just 17 points allowed per game and we’re tipping they’ll contain the weak Dolphins offence. They’re ranked last in the NFL for points scored (14.5). So take the under total.
Best bet: Under Total Points (TBA)
Tip:
Panthers HT/FT ($TBA)
The Panthers don’t have a great record against the Dolphins but based on both teams current form, it’s hard to see the Dolphins producing an upset. So we’ll back the Panthers.
