NFL Week 10 Picks, Bets and Storylines: Colts-Falcons in Germany, James Cook injury

Colts and Falcons look to bounce back in Germany

The NFL returns overseas this week as the Falcons and Colts clash in Berlin, with both teams desperate to rebound from losses. Atlanta enters on a three-game skid but brings the league’s top passing defense, allowing just 158.1 yards per game.

The Colts, meanwhile, get a defensive boost with newly acquired Sauce Gardner cleared from concussion protocol. The model doesn’t show a clear edge on the +6.5 spread or 48.5 total, both sitting at a 50% probability. Notably, every international game this year has gone under this particular total.

We would expect a ground-focused game as the Falcons try to get Bijan Robinson going, staying under 100 total yards in three straight outings, but facing a Colts defense that allows under 90 rushing yards per game.

Our best TD value lies with Tyler Allgeier at 28.6% and odds of +330 on FanDuel Sportsbook.

Garrett Wilson returns after Jets' trade deadline fire sale

All signs point to the Jets WR returning after he sustained a knee injury in Week 6

He’s projected for 58.9 receiving yards on 5.0 receptions, with a 32.9% chance to score a touchdown - no other Jets WR tops 30 receiving yards or a 20% TD probability.

Wilson will face the Browns’ 5th-ranked passing defense, which has been difficult for receivers this season, but with little competition in the Jets' passing game, he remains a key player to watch if he returns at full strength.

James Cook pops up as questionable

Bills RB James Cook picked up an ankle/foot injury designation this week.

His status remains uncertain, and if he’s unable to play, the Bills are likely to rely on Ray Davis and Ty Johnson in the backfield.

Our projections currently have Cook in the mix and projected for 87.3 rushing yards and a 56.9% TD probability, with Johnson and Davis each projected for under a 20% probability and 12 rushing yards, though Johnson also projects for some receiving targets.

If Cook sits, both backups will have a chance against a Dolphins defense allowing 5.0 yards per carry.

NFL Best Bets for Week 10

Our top probability and edge are discussed weekly on the Thursday episode of the Dimers Sports Betting Podcast, and the game lines featured in this article are on 8-8 so far this season.

Below, you will find the current top probability and best edge from our Best NFL Bets, along with our top TD prop of the weekend, with some extra value on that player to score as well.

Bet: Browns ML @ Jets (-130 on BetMGM Sportsbook)

Cleveland opened as underdogs but are now -1.5 favorites after New York’s roster shake-up and get a 60.2% win probability from the Dimers model, identifying a 4.4% edge.

The Browns’ defense has given up just three rushing touchdowns all season, and this could be another long day for Justin Fields, who’s been sacked 22 times this year. 

Cleveland’s pass rush, led by Myles Garrett coming off a 5-sack game, should make it difficult for the Jets to extend long drives, while the Jets defense has struggled to generate turnovers, sitting with just one takeaway all season.

The model also shows a 58% chance for the Browns to cover, and with ML plays heating up, there’s confidence in this spot.

Bet: Jaguars ML @ Texans (-112 on FanDuel Sportsbook)

Jacksonville already beat Houston 17–10 earlier this year and needs a win to stay alive in the AFC South, getting a significant 57.4% win probability from the Dimers model with a 2.5% edge at odds of -122.

The Texans will be without C.J. Stroud (concussion), meaning Davis Mills gets the start and he’s thrown for under 150 yards in his last three spot starts or injury replacement appearances.

It won't be easy for Jacksonville as Houston’s defense remains among the best in the league, ranking top six against the run and allowing the lowest completion rate and passer rating to opposing QBs.

Texans games have gone under in six of eight, and our model projects this total (37.5) to stay just below the number again.

With Nick Chubb banged up, Woody Marks could lead Houston’s backfield with 49 yards and a 29% TD probability, while Nico Collins and Dalton Schultz both project under their posted totals.

Top Touchdown Target: Dallas Goedert (Eagles) vs. Packers

As revealed on the Dimers Sports Betting Podcast, our best touchdown value of the Week is Dallas Goedert, who faces a Packers defense that’s 29th in red-zone efficiency against tight ends.

He draws a 36.6% TD probability with a 6.8% edge at odds of +235, as well as a 3.9% probability to score first with odds of +2500.

Goedert has the second-most receiving touchdowns in the NFL with 7 and is a force in the red zone.

Jalen Hurts also holds solid value for both 1+ and 2+ TDs, making a Hurts/Goedert combo one of our favorite plays on the slate.
