Friday\u2019s game for Week 10 will likely be a tough and close affair between two in-form sides. The Steelers head back home after a 23-16 win over the Ravens on the road. Pittsburgh has won 4 straight games and hold a 5-1 record since starting the year 0-2. Which sees them lead the AFC North by percentage over the Bengals. The Panthers travel north looking for their 4th straight win. In back to back home games, Cam Newton and his offence have thrashed both the Bucs and the Ravens. So I\u2019m looking for a high scoring contest this Friday. Generally the short week is tough on the defence and that should mean Big Ben and Cam Newton get plenty of scoring opportunities in this one. For the Steelers, they rank 4th in the league for passing yards and have found a star running back in James Conner (706 rushing yards, 9 TDs). Carolina\u2019s pass D isn\u2019t too flash at the moment as they allow 250 passing yards per game and Fitz Magic got to them last week. For Carolina, they\u2019ve scored 39 points on average in their last 2 games and should take advantage of the Steelers D, which can be vulnerable at home as of late. Also, the last meeting resulted in 56 total points as the Steelers won 37-19 back in 2014.<\/p>\n
Stadium Record<\/strong><\/p>\n The Steelers are 2-2 at home thus far this season. Carolina last travelled to Heinz Field in 2010 and were no match for the home side as they lost 27-3.<\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/strong><\/p>\n In the 6 games between these two sides, the Steelers lead 5-1 and haven\u2019t lost in 3 home games against them.<\/p>\n Best Bet<\/strong><\/p>\n OVER 50.5 points $1.76<\/a><\/p>\n The Chargers beat the Seahawks 25-17 in Seattle last week and made it 5 straight wins. As a result, they\u2019re now well in the AFC wildcard race. Now in Week 10, they get an easy matchup (on paper) against the struggling Raiders. Oakland were terrible last week as the 49ers crushed them 34-3. With a 1-7 record, their first season under head coach Jon Gruden is turning into a nightmare. But once they traded Kahil Mack before Week 1, you kind of saw this coming for a team without many playmakers. In 2018 and dating back to last season, the Chargers have dominated the Raiders in back to back games in Carson. In Week 5 this season, LA won 26-10 and also kept the Raiders to 10 points in the final round of the 2017 season. So while I see the red-hot Chargers thrashing the Raiders, this should be a low scoring game because of the Raiders mediocre offence. They\u2019ve already scored under 20 points in 5 of 8 games this season. In the last 4 meetings between the two sides, the total hasn\u2019t gone over 40 points either. In Oakland, the last clash saw just 33 total points as the Chargers won 17-16. So I can\u2019t see this game going over 52.5 points.<\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/strong><\/p>\n Oakland is 1-2 at home and lost 42-28 against the Colts in their game here. The Chargers are 4-3 in Oakland since 2012.<\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/strong><\/p>\n The Chargers have won 3 straight matchups against the Raiders. In Week 5 this year, they beat them 26-10.<\/p>\n Best Bet<\/strong><\/p>\n UNDER 52.5 points $1.68<\/a><\/p>\n Monday\u2019s NFL action ends in Philadelphia with an NFC East showdown. The Eagles are sitting at a crossroads with a 4-4 recent. Which is pretty average after winning the Super Bowl last season. But they may just get the Cowboys at the right time. Philly return from the bye and a matchup against the Jaguars in the UK, which they won 24-18. They have lost back to back home games by under 5 points and will be keen to continue the Dallas woes. The Cowboys head to Philadelphia ridding a 2 game losing streak in what has been an inconsistent season so far. After the bye last week, they couldn\u2019t stop the Titans in a 28-14 home loss. Now, they\u2019ll have to travel and play on a shorter week against a fresh Eagles team. At this venue, the Eagles have dominated the Cowboys lately with 2 straight wins. The last meeting (6-0 Eagles win) was basically a nothing game as the Cowboys season was over and the Eagles had qualified for home field advantage. The key will be the Eagles run D stopping Elliot in the running game. The Eagles rush defence is ranked 2nd in the league and has only allowed 83 yards per game. Dak Prescott is struggling to move the ball in the air and that should see the Eagles D dominate this matchup. So I like the Eagles to win this by 4.5 points or more.<\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/strong><\/p>\n The Eagles have split their 4 home games so far with a 2-2 record. Dallas is 0-2 here over the last couple of seasons and they have not won a road game in 4 attempts this season.<\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/strong><\/p>\n Since 2015, the Eagles are 3-2 against the Cowboys. Overall since 2010, the two sides can\u2019t be split with 8 wins apiece.<\/p>\n Best Bet<\/strong><\/p>\n Eagles -4.5 $1.68<\/a><\/p>\n Week 10 ends with a poor matchup as the 2-7 49ers host the 1-7 Giants. But there is some upside for the 49ers back at home. They trashed the Raiders 34-3 last week and get plenty of rest after playing on the short week in Week 9. Nick Mullens was the star as he tossed 3 touchdown passes in his first NFL game! So it will be interesting to see if he gets the nod again with Beathard still struggling with injury. The Giants are having a woeful season, it\u2019s fair to say. They\u2019ve lost 5 straight games and score just 18.8 points per game. Most of the blame is on QB Eli Manning but playing behind a terrible offensive line doesn\u2019t help. So this is looking like another tough matchup for the Giants as they face the refreshed and confident 49ers in Santa Clara. The two sides met here last season and the 49ers ran out 31-21 winners on that occasion. Back the 49ers to win.<\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/strong><\/p>\n At home this season, the 49ers are 2-2 and won by 31 points in their last home game. The Giants lost by 10 points in the last clash here but have a 2-1 record since 2012.<\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/strong><\/p>\n Since 2011, the two sides have won 3 games against each other. The home side won 31-21 in the last meeting.<\/p>\n Best Bet<\/strong><\/p>\n 49ers WIN $1.64<\/a><\/p>\n
