NFL Week 10 Opening Odds: Perfect Patriots, Bengals, Panthers Betting Favorites

Two of the three remaining undefeated teams will have tough road matchups in Week 10 of the NFL season, while the other is a double-digit home favorite in the Monday night matchup at sportsbooks monitored by Odds Shark.

The Cincinnati Bengals (8-0) took care of business in prime time last week, crushing the Cleveland Browns (2-7) on Thursday night, 31-10, as 13-point chalk.

Now the Bengals get to host the Houston Texans (3-5) as consensus 11-point favorites as they try to stay unbeaten and improve to 8-0-1 against the spread.

However, the Texans are 6-1 ATS in the past seven meetings with Cincinnati and 6-1 versus the line in their last seven road games during the month of November.

According to the Odds Shark NFL Database, Houston has not been this big of an underdog since 2006, when the team lost 40-7 to the New England Patriots, who were 12.5-point home favorites. The Bengals have been bigger chalk just six times since 1990.

The defending Super Bowl champion Patriots (8-0) and Carolina Panthers (8-0) are the only other teams without a loss after Week 9, as the Denver Broncos (7-1) suffered their first loss on the road against the Indianapolis Colts (4-5) on Sunday.

New England will face its nemesis in the New York Giants (5-4) this Sunday, and both teams lead their respective divisions. The AFC East-leading Patriots are seven-point road favorites against the NFC East-leading Giants, who have gone 3-1 straight up and 4-0 ATS in the past four meetings, including a pair of Super Bowl wins.

New England is also just 7-21-2 ATS in its last 30 games after covering two in a row.

The Panthers will visit the Tennessee Titans (2-6) as 4.5-point favorites in a battle between two former Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks. Last year’s Heisman winner, Marcus Mariota, led the Titans to a 34-28 upset of the New Orleans Saints (4-5) in overtime last week as 6.5-point underdogs.

Meanwhile, Cam Newton and the Panthers handed the Green Bay Packers (6-2) their second consecutive loss, 37-29, as 2.5-point home underdogs. The favorite is 1-3 SU and ATS in the past four meetings between Tennessee and Carolina, but the Titans have lost 10 in a row SU and ATS after covering the spread in their previous game.
