2024 NFL Week 10 picks, predictions: Back Broncos to cover at Chiefs

Geoff Schwartz

FOX Sports Betting Analyst

One of the hardest obstacles an NFL team has to face is playing a tough competitor on a short week.

And that’s exactly where Tampa Bay is this week. 

Find out why I think Baker Mayfield & Co. have their work cut out for them and also why I’m backing the Broncos to cover at Kansas City.

Let’s get into it.

(All times ET)

Sunday, Nov. 10

49ers @ Buccaneers (1 p.m., FOX and FOX Sports App)

This is a terrible situational spot for the Bucs. 

Tampa Bay just played a physical overtime game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Buccaneers defense had to defend 83 Chiefs’ offensive plays and allowed 100% of yards over in the Chiefs’ final three drives. 

They were exhausted. 

Now they have a short week and host the San Francisco 49ers fresh off a bye. So they go from facing one physical run game to facing another physical run game in just six days. After Monday night, the Bucs defense ranks 28th in defensive yards per rush and they allow 27 points per game, which is also good for 28th in the NFL. 

Tampa Bay’s defense is just not good and the 49ers will attempt to establish the tone for the rest of their season on Sunday. I like the 49ers to cover the first half.

PICK: 49ers -2.5 (at time of pick) 1st Half

Ravens or Steelers: Who takes the AFC North crown?

Steelers @ Commanders (1 p.m., CBS)

The Commanders are 7-2 and have covered eight of their nine games. Their offense has flourished with rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels and offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury. It’s balanced, ranking second in passing offense and eighth in rushing. 

While the Steelers have an outstanding defense, this is the list of quarterbacks they’ve faced this season: Daniel Jones, Aaron Rodgers, Aiden O’Connell, Dak Prescott and Joe Flacco. You get the point. The Commanders are the best offense the Steelers will have faced all season, and I can see Daniels making plays with his arm and legs to put…
