Week 10 in the NFL kicks off in Charlotte as the and will duke it out Thursday night. It was just a couple of weeks ago that these NFC South rivals went toe-to-toe and needed overtime to determine the winner, with Atlanta narrowly escaping with the victory. More recently, each of these clubs came out on the losing end in Week Jordan McRae Jersey 9, with the Falcons dropping a home matchup to the and the Panthers getting blown out by Cincinnati.Even with these teams coming into Thursday with a combined record of 6-12, it's not out of the realm of po sibility that one of these teams makes a run at an NFC South title, especially when considering that the entire division is under .500 coming into Week 10.Here, we'll specifically be looking at the different betting angles that this game has to offer. Along with the spread and total, we'll also take a look at several player props and hand in our picks for how we see this showdown unfolding.Date:Thursday, Nov. 10|Time:8:15 p.m. ETLocation:Bank of America Stadium (Charlotte, North Carolina)Stream:Follow:Odds: Falcons -2.5, O/U 42.5 Featured Game | Carolina Panthers vs. Atlanta Falcons Moneyline Spread Total CAR ATL The lookahead line had Atlanta as a 1.5-point favorite, and that held until the early portion of the 1 p.m. ET slate in Week 9. For a brief moment, Carolina flipped to a 3.5-point favorite and then settled as a 3-point favorite until things switched back to Falcons -1.5 by 5 p.m. ET Sunday. After that interesting swing, Atlanta climbed to a 3-point favorite by Monday afternoon but has since come down to 2.5.The pick: Falcons -2.5. Atlanta needed a little luck and some late-game heroics from in overtime to pull out the win a few weeks ago, but it is the better team. The Falcons' strength offensively also plays into this matchup well. They own a top-five rushing offense in yards per game and rushing touchdowns, while Carolina has been one of the worst run defenses in the league, ranking in the bottom five of the in both of those same categories. The Panthers defense is also coming off a game where it was on the field for nearly 40 minutes and 72 plays against Cincinnati just a few days ago. Atlanta is also 3-1 ATS on the road this season.Key trend: Panthers are 5-18 in their last 23 games overall.The total opened at 41 Jahlil Okafor Jersey and jumped to 45 midway through the 1 p.m. ET slate last Sunday. It settled back down a bit but did hang around 44 and 44.5 on Tuesday before falling to 42.5 on the eve of this head-to-head. The pick: Over 42.5. Slight lean on the Over here. Carolina has scored 20-plus points in each of their past three games and, as we noted above, this defense could be extremely tired after being on the field for nearly 75% of the game last Sunday. Dewayne Dedmon Jersey On the other side, the Over is 6-3 on the season for Atlanta. Given that both of these defenses rank in the bottom third in the NFL in DVOA, there should be opportunities for both sides to put up points.Key trend: Over is 4-1 in Atlanta's past five games vs. the NFC South.

ATL QB #1 CMP%61.7YDs1561TD10INT6YD/Att7.77 Pa sing touchdowns:0.5 (Over -234, Under +165)Pa sing yards:157.5 (Over -117, Under -117)Rushing yards: 30.5 (Over -119, Under -115)Longest pa s completion:31.5 (Over -117, Under -117)Completions: 13.5 (Over -133, Under -103)Interceptions:0.5 (Over +133, Under -184)There's no value in Mariota's pa sing touchdown prop. Really, the only confident bet to make with his props is the Over on his 30.5 rushing yards at -119. He's gone over this number in four of his past five games, including that Week 8 matchup with Carolina. Over that stretch, he's averaging six attempts per game. Mariota has gone under this pa sing yards total in five of his past six games and has only gone over this completions prop in four games this year. Trevor Ariza Jersey CAR QB #11 CMP%58.9YDs623TD3INT3YD/Att6.92 Pa sing touchdowns:0.5 (Over -234, Under +165)Pa sing yards:173.5 (Over -111, Under -123)Rushing yards: 6.5 (Over -117, Under -117)Pa sing attempts: 25.5 (Over -123, Under -111)Longest pa Christian Wood Jersey s completion:31.5 (Over -121, Under -113)Interceptions: 0.5 (Over -184, Under +133)Similar to Mariota, Walker's touchdown prop is a stay away. He's thrown three interceptions over his past two games, so that could be a way to lean here if you're looking to bet an Over. That said, Unders may be the way to attack Walker's prop market this week, as he could very well be pulled for if things go awry early. total receptions: Over 3.5 (-106). It's been a forgettable first half of the year for the talented tight end. However, things be looking up. Mariota has openly talked about needing to do a better job of involving him in the pa sing game, and Pitts has seen 16 targets over the past two games. If the Falcons begin force-feeding him the ball to try and get him going, that should get us over here. anytime touchdowns (+106). When Patterson is healthy, he has a nose for the end zone. In the five games he's played this season, Patterson has hit paydirt in four of them, including a two-touchdown performance last week against the Chargers. Carolina's defense is tied for 28th in the NFL for most rushing touchdowns allowed entering Week 10.

Halloween is now long gone but the are still Elfrid Payton Jersey stuck in a horror movie, and himself can't seem to escape Michael Meyers. They had a brief respite from their slow 2020 death when they defeated the in impre sive fashion in Week 11, in a game that saw Elliott become a key reason for the win with his first 100-yard performance of the season, but four days later they were roundly thumped by the Washington Football Team to land at 3-8 on the season and in sole po se sion of the fourth seat in the NFC East.They'll now potentially get a mini-bye by virtue of the current COVID-19 , and when that matchup does take place -- presumably on Monday, Dec. 7, but that might revert back to Thursday, Dec. 3, if the Ravens matchup with the is moved again -- they'll need to decide how to beginning finishing the season for Elliott.On one note, the Cowboys feel because they're still in the running to win the abysmal NFC East, so they'll likely continue playing the two-time rushing champ until they mathematically aren't. And while the reality is they could figure out a way to take the division, it's now a risk versus reward formula they must focus on. In other words, is it worth it to risk exposing Elliott continually going forward -- now behind an offensive line that'll be without perennial All-Pro for multiple weeks down the stretch due to a calf injury? Or should they drastically peel back his reps to help protect him for the 2021 reboot under Mike McCarthy??For my money -- or rather for $90 million of their own -- the answer has to be the latter. DAL RB #21 Not only has Elliott seen a step back in his production because of an injury-ravaged offense that will now be without Martin, but also Eric Bledsoe Jersey one that's long been without two-time Pro Bowl quarterback , perennial All-Pro left tackle , starting right tackle and starting tight end , fueling mental errors that revolve mostly around him trying to do too much, too often. His lost fumble in Week 12 against Washington was his fifth of the season and ended a streak of four games in which he didn't fumble once, having cleaned up the i sue for roughly a month before it reappeared on Sunday. While it's quite po sible Elliott could again cease the fumbles and go on to rush for more than 1,000 yards, the Cowboys would like to see more of backup -- now being a great time to put that plan into action.For all of the mental mistakes he's made as a returner, Pollard has come on strong the last several weeks in the offensive backfield, including a marked improvement in pa s protection. Elliott is the franchise RB for both now and later, and that's not debatable within the organization, but the more the Cowboys refine Pollard the better their chances of finally establishing themselves as having one of the best RB tandems in the sport.It's something owner Jerry Jones failed to land with the DeMarco Murray-Lance Dunbar dynamic and has been chasing since and proved themselves worthy complements to in the 2000s. Pollard logged 199 offensive snaps Brandon Ingram Jersey in 15 games as a rookie and is already five snaps from matching that tally through 11 games in Year 2, and after averaging only eight offensive snaps in the first three weeks of 2020, he's up to an average of 21.25 per game over the last eight outings. For contrast, after averaging 73 snaps per game in the first three contests of 2020, Elliott is seeing his usage drop -- now averaging 50.25 over the last eight games -- with some of it being attributable to the fact the Cowboys are almost always playing from behind, Kira Lewis Jr. Jersey with another key factor being Pollard seeing an uptick. This is evidence that despite what the Cowboys say, they're already sliding the scale this season toward Pollard, and not as a means of somehow diminishing or devaluing Elliott. DAL RB #20 It's likely because while on one end they want to remain viable in the NFC East, or to at least try, there's at least some understanding of what they're risking by running Elliott behind the current iteration of their offensive line.And for those outside of the organization who'd say, "He's being paid, so play him like it!", it's key to note how cringeworthy of a stare into the micro that is -- considering the macro is far more valuable because it could involve a rebirth of the league's No. 1 offense in 2021. And yes, you want (need, actually) Elliott along for that entire ride. The bottom line is the Cowboys know exactly what Elliott is capable of, but are still learning what Pollard's ceiling is and how he fits into the offense, thus having an infinitesimal-sized potential gain by continuing to push the latter into his near-usual bell-cow workload. For that reason and for insurance against injury that could put an early dent in the team's 2021 plans for a clean slate (read: mulligan) under McCarthy, the Cowboys must consider sitting the bull and allowing the calf to get more feed in what will likely be the final five games of the 2020 season. As this ongoing horror movie nears its end, they can avoid added misery by writing the biggest remaining star player out Solomon Hill Jersey of the script -- before it's too late and they wished they had.

Ready or not, here comes another NFL offseason filled with waffled rumors on whether the and will continue their marriage or call it quits and look to betroth themselves to someone new. It will mark the second consecutive offseason in which this is the case, after 2021 found itself plastered with headlines when Wilson's agent -- knowing his client has a no-trade clause -- listed four other specific teams the Pro Bowl quarterback would be open to playing for, namely the Dallas Cowboys, Las Vegas Raiders, Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints.After weeks of speculation on if Brandon Ingram Jersey the Seahawks would trade a then-disgruntled Wilson, they waived off all comers and kept Wilson onboard for what's now devolved into a 6-10 season heading into the Week 18 finale against the Sindarius Thornwell Jersey . In December, reports surfaced the Seahawks were expected to be involved in trade talks for their future Hall of Fame QB, per Ian Rapoport of , but le s than a month later, it's now being reported they have no plans on doing so -- per Mike Garofolo of .For his part, Wilson made his plans for the future known this week, in a rather definitive statement that carries a polar opposite tone to the air he stood in this past offseason."My goal is to win Zion Williamson Jersey more Super Bowls," , "And my plan is to win one here. It's that simple." Time will tell how it all finally shakes out in Seattle, but it's clear things are far from settled as it relates to the team's plan for righting the ship for the future, because things aren't turning out as they had planned when they opted to forego any trade offers -- most notably a -- to keep Wilson in tow. Initially, it was the defense that struggled while Wilson consistently attempted to save the day, but Wilson struggled to regain his mojo after suffering injury to his throwing hand in Week 5.The Seahawks went on to lose five of eight games following his return in Week 10, and while the tailspin isn't completely on Wilson (it's also on head coach Pete Carroll and others), it does beg the question of if it's time for a parting of ways in Jaxson Hayes Jersey 2022. If a divorce does arrive in act two of this play, it'll be interesting to see where Wilson lands, considering the at least two of the four teams that were initially named by his agent are presumably no longer in play. The drafted in the first round of the 2021 after the Seahawks ignored their advances, and the answered with a historic contract awarded to two-time Pro Bowl quarterback . That leaves only the and the , and with the former still seemingly all-in on , that leaves the latter, Kira Lewis Jr. Jersey begging the question of just how committed Sean Payton would be to if Wilson is made available. It was made clear by Wilson that he wants to , but that doesn't mean it'll be in Seattle.Although, at least right now, that's where he's aimed.Key words: right now.

The and will battle for a spot in LIV Sunday. For the Titans, it would be their first trip to the title game in 20 years and their second time in the Super Bowl ever. For the Chiefs, it would mean their third trip to the Super Bowl but the first in 50 years, when they won the NFL title in the year prior to the AFL merging with the NFL.The Chiefs come into the matchup on a seven-game winning streak, but even though they're the favorite to advance, making the Super Anthony Davis Jersey Bowl will be anything but easy. Just ask Chiefs coach Andy Reid, who has made it to the conference title game six times in his career with Kansas City and Philadelphia, but has broken through just once and still seeks his first Super Bowl win.The Titans have managed just three straight wins, but those all came on the road against AFC division winners behind the bulldozing effort of . They'll have the chance to make it 4 for 4 on Sunday, and beating every AFC division winner in the span of a month would mean a return trip to Miami for to play the Super Bowl in the stadium where he spent the first seven years of his career.Below, you'll find info on how to watch the game along with what you need to know about the opening and current lines.

I just can't see the Titans slowing Mahomes, who is now healthy. If the game starts getting away from the Titans, it will hurt them in terms of getting Henry going. That's exactly what I think will happen. The Titans won't keep up. The Chiefs, behind another big day from Mahomes, will go to their first Super Bowl in 50 years." -- Pete Prisco on "The Titans beat J.R. Smith Jersey the Chiefs earlier this season despite trailing early in the game ... Derrick Henry would finish with 188 rushing yards and the Titans would win on a crazy last-second field goal block. What's notable about that game is they trailed multiple times, so we know they can potentially come back as well. If the Titans are up 24-0 I don't know that the Chiefs come back from it; I definitely don't think they come back before halftime to take the lead. My problem is I know what the Chiefs have the capability of doing on offense. And I think that 24-0 lead to Houston might have changed things with Andy Reid. ... After a season of powerhouse football, some playoff upsets happened and they just need to beat the top half of the AFC South to give Reid a shot at his first Super Bowl title. When things went south, they got aggre sive and I believe they'll be aggre sive here. -- Will Brinson on "There is not a throw that exists that Mahomes cannot make, and there are very few throws that he will not make. Back foot, rolling right, rolling left, acro s the body, wrong hand. He'll try -- and more than likely complete -- anything and everything. A player like Mahomes is the reason the cliche, "You can't stop him; you can only hope to contain him" exists. So, Kyle Kuzma Jersey how can the Titans contain him? First and foremost, the way to do this is to get pre sure, especially up the middle. If the Chiefs' offensive line has a weakne s, it's not on the edges, where is arguably the best right tackle in the league and has developed into a very solid bookend on the left side. Attacking , , and is the way to go. Tenne see's interior group of , , , and absolutely dominated the up front last week, and they'll need a similar performance from those guys if they're going to bother Mahomes at all." -- Jared Dubin,, in his in-depth preview of the game"The Chiefs have the best quarterback on the planet, a defense that is nothing like the defense that cost them a spot in last season's Super Bowl, and they're at home. I think they're going to pick up where they left off last weekend and open up a big lead over the Titans, and the Titans won't be able to hang. I'll take the Chiefs to win and cover the seven-point spread. The Chiefs, by the way, are 11-5-1 against the spread, including 4-2-1 when they're favored by seven points or more." -- Sean Wagner-McGough on Titans win and cover"The Chiefs Magic Johnson Jersey are now favored by 7.5 points over the Titans, despite the fact that Tenne see beat them 35-32 in the regular season. Over the past five years, there have been a total of seven AFC or NFC championship games that were rematches from the regular season. The team that won the first time has gone 6-1 in the title game rematch, and the only win in that span came by the , who got the benefit of the worst pa s interference no-call in the history of sports. This is ostensibly good news for both the Titans and . I didn't make an official count last week, but I think I might have been one of maybe four media members in the country who picked the Titans to upset the Ravens, and gue s what everyone, I'm going to ride the Tenne see upset train for one more week, and I'll be riding it to South Breech ... err ... South Beach, because that's where the Titans will be headed if they win the game." -- John Breech on "The Chiefs are probably the best team on paper remaining in the postseason, but unfortunately they are running into a team of destiny in the conference championship. If the Titans can beat the and Ravens on the road, I have no reason to believe they are going to fall to the Chiefs with just one game until the Super Bowl. I'm picking the Titans to make it to the Super Bowl for the first time in 20 years -- it's clear they have the favor of the football gods." -- Jordan Dajani on "This Tenne see squad is built to beat a team like the Chiefs. First, K.C. has struggled against the run for the bulk of the year, which should be looked at promisingly for Derrick Henry. The Titans back have been other-worldly, averaging Shaquille O'Neal Jersey nearly six yards a carry this postseason on 377 total yards rushing over the past two games. If he can continue to find succe s on the ground, the Titans could take a page out of the ' book in their win over the Chiefs in Week 5 where they rushed 45 times for 180 yards and dominated time of po se sion. Keeping off the field will be critical and Tenne see has the tools to get that done. When they do have to go head-to-head with Mahomes, the Titans defense has recently been able to bend, but not break. This playoffs, Tenne see has been stout in the red

Anger raged Thursday Marc Gasol Jersey afternoon during the Raiders-Rams joint practice in Los Angeles ahead of Saturday night's preseason bout.A scuffle ensued during the special teams portion of practice, with coach Jon Gruden pulling the plug on the joint se sion, getting his players on the bus to leave after tempers couldn't be settled on the field. The Rams finished the rest of their practice, per reporters on the scene."I thought we had great work today until special teams, right at the end of the special teams period," Gruden said. "I have no idea what that was, Kobe Bryant Jersey but that's enough of that crap. That's not good for football, that's not good for anything, that's the end of that practice se sion."Asked Los Angeles Lakers Hoodie if there was any me sage to the team after calling the practice off early, the coach said the players know it's not profe sional."There's no me sage. They know. They know better," he said. "Everybody knows better. And again, it wasn't everybody fighting. It'll be on TV. You'll see a bunch of guys screaming and yelling. But it was two guys in Brandon Ingram Jersey a special teams period, and then it was a lot of trash-talking that escalated. It's just sickening, really. It's just stupidity. I'm done with that. It's just child's play to me."Rams coach Sean McVay was mum about the scuffle, saying simply: "It's Magic Johnson Jersey unfortunate we didn't get to finish up (the joint se sion), but that's kind of where I'll leave that at."The Raiders and Rams will face off Saturday night at . We'll see if another brawl ensues. If it does, there will be more than a perturbed coach for players to deal with.
