Week 10 NFL Odds - Lookahead Lines - Picks & Best Bet Predictions

by Mike Allen - 10/31/2024

NFL Week 10 lookahead lines Tyreek Hill Miami Dolphins

It's officially Week 9 of the 2024 regular season. I'm sure you have some NFL bets lined up already. Sometimes, though, betting the pro football lines the week of the game can be frustrating. That is about the time of the year for me when the waters get muddy. I'm having my best year of picking and betting on the NFL of my life, but there is still another half of the season to go.

The sportsbooks do limit you when betting the lookahead lines. However, unless you're a big baller, this shouldn't affect you at all. Most of us are either just looking for some action for the games and/or building a small to moderately-sized bankroll over time.

In last Week 9's lookahead article, we gave you the Bears (-1). Unfortunately, they underperformed and are now 1-point dogs on the road in Arizona. We got one point back with the Commanders. We told you to take them at (-3) against the Giants, and now the line has moved to 4. Our largest +EV line move to date was the Denver Broncos, who went from 4-point favorites against the Panthers all the way up to 13 by kickoff! They ended up winning comfortably by two touchdowns after a garbage score from Carolina. We've gotten ahead of the line movement more often than not, and we are still up with a 7-6 record.

This article is about the future, though. So let's get out of the past and get you some Week 10 lookahead line best bets.

NFL Week 10 Lookahead Lines Best Bets

Detroit Lions (-2.5) at Houston Texans Odds (+2.5)

Nov 10th at 8:20 PM Houston, TX

The Houston Texans expect to get Nico Collins back for this game from his hamstring injury. However, it appears they have lost Stefon Diggs for the season. C.J. Stroud can still find open receivers, and he will be playing at home, where he's most comfortable.

This is good for Stroud, but if you want to get to Jared Goff, you must get him off that turf and outside the doors. The Lions will be coming off the highly emotional game in Green Bay. Their head coach can be a little bit emo, albeit in the manliest sense possible. Attitude reflects leadership.

The Texans play tonight (Thursday), so they will have some rest going into this one. Maybe we are on the right side, and maybe not. However, either the public or the sharps will likely push this one up to 3 or even more. From there, you can arbitrage if you like, or maybe you like the spot for the Texans and you play them at 3. Stopping the run isn't Houston's strength, and we could see a similar result as the Lions vs Vikings matchup. Bet Detroit now and maybe the Texans later.

Pick: Lions (-2.5)

Pittsburgh Steelers (+1.5) at Washington Commanders Odds (-1.5) Total 44

Nov 10th at 1:00 PM Landover, MD

Mike Tomlin, as a home underdog, may be the best bet in football. He's not bad on the road as a dog, either, though, at 60% against the spread. The coaching matchups in this one are a lot of fun. I love both sides in that regard. This one opened at (-2) for Washington.

Instead of playing a side, let's allow these two mobile big-play quarterbacks to do their job. Both teams have bruising/dynamic running backs as well. The Washington defense has come around, and the Steelers, of course, can keep you off the scoreboard. However, 44 is too low for these two teams.

The past three Pittsburgh games have touched 44 or gone over it, and they've played the Jets, Giants, and Raiders. I believe this one gets to 50.

Pick: Over 44 Points

Miami Dolphins (+2.5) at LA Rams Odds (-2.5) Total: 49.5

Nov 11th at 8:15 PM Los Angeles, CA

This one is shaping up to be the shootout of the season. I know both defenses have improved from the start of the year, but the Rams couldn't have been much worse, and the Miami D had to step up somewhat. The offense simply didn't exist without Tua Tagovailoa.

The Dolphins' strength on defense is against the pass, but plenty of good defenses get carved up by Matt Stafford. You saw a completely different team against Minnesota with Puca Nakua and Cooper Kupp on the field.

Have you ever been to a cheetah exhibit at the zoo? It's bittersweet because what a majestic athletic animal, but they're confined. They can't get out and run how they want and need to. Well, Tyreek Hill is no different. The fastest legs in football have been patiently waiting for a defense like the Rams'. I assume at least the public will bet the point total up, so we'll get some +EV by kickoff. Let 'em fly, boys!

Pick: Over 49.5 Points
