After getting burnt by the multiple times this season, it appears that the oddsmakers in Las Vegas have finally learned their le son.Through nine weeks, no team in the NFL has been a safer bet than the Chiefs. Not only have they covered in eight of nine games this year, which is the best mark in the NFL, but they're 12-1 against the spread (ATS) in their past 13 games dating back to 2017. So how do you slow them down? If you're the oddsmakers, you give them a monstrous number to cover and that's exactly what's happening this week. In the early odds for Week 10, the Chiefs have opened as a 17-point favorite over the , which is the largest spread for any game this season. Before this week, the largest point spread of the year came in Week 3 when the were favored by 16.5 over the in a game where Buffalo pulled off one of the biggest point spread upsets in NFL history. More NFL Being favored by 17 or more points is actually pretty rare. This game will mark just the 23rd time it's happened since 2000. Of those 23 games, the have been the favored team in nine of them. The good news for the Chiefs is that NFL teams are 22-0 straight-up since 2000 when favored by 17 or more. However, they're not Artemi Panarin Women Jersey as impre sive against the spread, going just 8-12-2.The Cardinals aren't the only big underdogs in Week 10. The are favored by so much over the that will be going into Sunday's game as the biggest underdog of his career. We also Brian Leetch Kids Jersey have a 6-2 team opening as a 6.5-point underdog.Let's get to the odds for Week 10 and find out who else is an underdog.NFL Week 10 early odds (6-2) at (5-2-1), ThursdayOpening line: Steelers, -6.5 pointsIf there's one time you don't want to bet against , it's when he's a big underdog. In the past five games where the Panthers have been an underdog of six or more points, Carolina has gone 4-1 both straight-up and ATS. The Panthers have also won seven straight against the AFC, a record that includes a 6-1 mark ATS. As for the Steelers, they've covered in four straight games this year, but they're just 1-4 ATS in their past five primetime games, including a 26-14 Sunday night lo s to the in Week 4. Of course, the one thing the Steelers will have going for them is that they've covered the spread in every game they've ever played against the Panthers (6-0). is also 3-0 all-time against Carolina in his career. The Panthers and Steelers are both 5-3 ATS on the season. (3-5) at (5-3)Opening line: Bears, -6 pointsThe Lions are in a rut, but if there's anything that can fix it, it's a game with the Bears. Since the beginning of the 2013 season, the Lions have gone 9-1 straight-up against Chicago (5-3-2 ATS), including a season-sweep in 2017. The Lions are also 3-1 ATS on the road this season with Sunday's lo s to the Vikings marking the first time they didn't cover. As for the Bears, they're not a team you want to bet on when they're favored big. Over the past five years, the Bears are 3-3 straight-up and 1-5 ATS when favored by six or more points. One thing to keep an eye on in this game is whether or not plays. The Bears' star has mi sed the past two weeks with an ankle injury. (7-1) at (5-3)Opening line: Saints, -4.5 pointsThe Saints have been on a roll over the past few weeks. Not only do they have the longest winning streak in the NFL at seven games, but they've also covered in six straight games. The Saints 6-2 ATS mark this year is the second best in the NFL, behind only the Chiefs (8-1). The Saints also have a five-game winning streak against AFC teams Ron Duguay Jersey (3-2 ATS). As for the Bengals, they've struggled against good teams this year. So far in 2018, they've played three games against teams that currently have a winning record (Carolina, Pittsburgh, Kansas City) and they've lost all three, going 0-3 ATS. One thing the Bengals will have going in their favor is that they've covered in their past five games against the Saints with three of those coming against and Sean Payton. (4-4) at (2-6-1)Opening line: Falcons, -3.5 pointsBetting on the Browns is never a good idea, but it's almost always a bad idea when they're playing a team from the NFC. Since the beginning of the 2015 season, the Browns have gone 1-13 straight-up and 3-11 ATS against NFC teams. However, we should probably note that two of those three covers came this year against NFC South teams ( , Saints). Oh, and the Falcons might actually be even worse in inter-conference games. The Falcons are 0-8 ATS in their past eight games against the AFC and just 1-7 straight-up.Patriots (7-2) at (3-4)Opening line: Patriots, -6 pointsWhen the Patriots are favored by six or more points, they almost always end up being a smart bet. The last 10 times this has happened, the Patriots have gone 8-2 both straight-up and ATS. Also, if there's one team the Patriots have owned under Bill Martin St Louis Jersey Belichick, it's the Titans. The last five times these teams have played, including the playoffs, the Patriots have gone 5-0 both straight-up and ATS and the've won those five games by an of 29 points. The Patriots have also scored at least 33 points in each of those five games. Of course, this time around the Titans will have a coach who's pretty familiar with the Patriots. Mike Vrabel was a linebacker in New England for eight seasons (2001-08) and may know how to attack the Patriots better than most coaches. (3-5) at (3-5)Opening line: Colts, -3 pointsThe Jaguars season has been slowly falling apart over the past few weeks with four straight lo ses where they've gone 0-4 ATS (They're also 1-5 ATS in their past six games). Of course, if there's one team the Jags might actually be looking forward to facing, it's the Colts. Since the beginning of the 2015 season, the Jags have gone 6-0 ATS against the Colts (4-2 straight-up). On the Colts' end, they've won and covered in two straight games. They've also averaged New York Rangers Kids Jersey 34.2 points over their past five games, which is more than double what the Jaguars have averaged (15.4) over that same span. Basically, if this turns into a shootout, the Colts would seemingly be in the driver's seat.Cardinals (2-6) at Chiefs (8-1)Opening line: Chiefs, -17 pointsNot only are the Cardinals a monstrous underdog, but they have to play in a city where they've never won. In their franchise history, the Cardinals are 0-4-1 playing in Kansas City. As bad as the Cardinals have been this year, they've actually done a good job of covering over the past few weeks. Since Week 3, the Cards have gone 4-1-1 ATS (2-4 straight-up). Bills (2-7) at (3-6)Opening line: Jets, -8 pointsYou know the Bills quarterback situation is a total disaster when the Jets open as an eight-point favorite. This game will mark just the second time in the past five years that the Jets have opened as a favorite of eight or more points. The other time it happened came in 2015 in a game where th
