Our Week 10 teaser picks between the Cowboys, Vikings and Lions come in at -128 odds.
NFL Week 10 Teaser Picks
In this week s NFL teaser picks we re betting the Giants way down from 17-point favorites to a more manageable 6.5, adding points to the Vikings to bump them from +3 to +10.5 at home to the Saints, and flipping the Lions from a short road favorite of 3 points, over to a 7.5-point underdog.
I ve created this teaser by choosing alternate spreads at DraftKings, but you should be able to do so at most of the as well.
Also, next week, look out for a brand new sportsbook coming to market in ESPN BET. The sportsbook will launch on Tuesday so stay tuned for more info on the latest .
Giants vs Cowboys
Pick: Cowboys -6.5
Dallas has already routed and shut out this New York team 40-0 earlier this season. The Giants have scored ten points or less five times this season and average the lowest PPG with 11.2.
The Cowboys lost in Philly last week 28-23 but otherwise are 5-3. They score 27.5 PPG and allow just 18.5 PPG.
The Giants were already a mess. Daniel Jones then returned from a neck injury last week and quickly went back to the injury report with a torn ACL. With Tyrod Taylor also injured, that means more Tommy DeVito. That means more of a non-existent Giants offense. DeVito has gone 2/7 for -1 yards and 15/20 for 175 yards, 1 TD and 2 INTs in his two appearances.
If the Cowboys put any effort whatsoever into this game it should be a blowout.
Saints vs Vikings
Pick: Vikings +10.5
You just don t know what you re getting with the Saints. The defense was solid to start the year while the offense was sputtering and the Saints played to six straight Unders. Then things opened up and they lost 31-24 and won 38-27.
Just when you thought Derek Carr and co. were rounding into form they eeked out an ugly 24-17 win over the Bears last week. That game was tied 17-17 at the end of the third quarter and despite New Orleans being +5 in turnover differential and starting multiple drives in the Bears territory, they still failed to pull away and cover the spread to improve their 2-6-1 .
Then there s the Vikings who lost Kirk Cousins in Week 8 to a torn Achilles and traded for Josh Dobbs from the Cardinals on Trade Deadline Day. Dobbs arrived to the team last Wednesday and with minimal practice he threw two touchdown passes, ran in another and the Vikings went to Atlanta and won 31-28.
The Falcons were likely caught off guard and were expecting to get Jaren Hall and the Saints can now gameplan for Dobbs all week. But New Orleans struggled to score versus a Bears defense ranked 19th in yards allowed per game and 28th in PPG allowed. The Vikings may not be an elite defense but they re a step up from the Bears ranking 14th and 17th in those categories. Minnesota could pull the upset as a good underdog picks, but I ll add some points and make them +10.5 in our Week 10 teaser picks.
Josh Dobbs:
š§ Graduated with a 4.0 in aerospace engineering.
š Interned for NASAā¦ twice!
šWon his first game as a Minnesota Viking without knowing the playbook or his teammates names š¤Æ

Lions vs Chargers
Pick: Lions +7.5
The Chargers are coming in off a short week having played on Monday Night Football. And while the scoreline will show a straightforward 27-6 LA win, the boxscore will say otherwise. The score was just 16-7 in the fourth quarter and Justin Herbert was only 16/30 for 136 yards and no touchdowns. The Jets had more total yards, first downs, plays and time of possession. But Zach Wilson was sacked eight times and he s proved incapable of operating a functioning NFL offense.
That won t be the case this weekend when the Chargers host the Lions and Jared Goff. Goff is eighth in passing yards, fifth in YPG, tenth in completion percentage and has 12 TDs to just five INTs.
The Lions offense is ninth in PPG, second in yards per game on offense and Goff is operating a top-six passing game that should have every chance to cut through a Chargers defense that is 32nd against the pass.
The Jets are an elite defense. At least in yards allowed (9th) and pass defense (3rd). They re just 30th versus the run. But the Lions bring a defensive unit themselves that is 5th, 15th and 2nd respectively in those categories. The difference will be Detroit also has an offense which should prove the difference here.
