CBS Sports analyst John Breech released his NFL Week 10 picks after a 14-1 straight-up performance in Week 9. The highlight game features the Detroit Lions (6-2) facing the New England Patriots (5-4) in Munich, Germany, at 9:30 a.m. ET on Sunday. Breech predicts a high-scoring affair, picking the Lions to win 34-27, citing the Patriots' struggles against NFC North teams and Jared Goff's strong passing against a vulnerable New England secondary.
In the Thursday night opener, Breech takes the Washington Commanders (2-5-1) over the New York Giants (5-2-1) 24-17, believing the desperate Commanders can capitalize on the Giants' injury-depleted offense. For the Cleveland Browns (5-4) vs. Houston Texans (3-5) matchup, he favors the Texans 24-16, noting Deshaun Watson's league-high 33 sacks against a Houston defense leading the NFL with 29 sacks.
The Green Bay Packers (6-3) are picked to edge the Minnesota Vikings (6-2) 20-17 in a strength-vs-strength battle between the Vikings' top passing defense and Jordan Love's hot streak. In the Sunday night game, Breech backs the Cincinnati Bengals (6-2) to overcome a brutal travel disadvantage — returning from Madrid to face the Pittsburgh Steelers (6-2) off a bye — predicting a 27-24 Bengals win, citing Joe Burrow's elite play and the "white tiger helmets" factor.
Breech's remaining picks: Chiefs over Falcons 27-20, Jaguars over Titans 31-16, Colts over Dolphins 19-16, Panthers over Saints 23-20, Bills over Jets 30-20, Seahawks over Raiders 27-17, Rams over Cardinals 23-16, 49ers over Cowboys 31-24, Ravens over Chargers 20-16. His season record stands at 82-53-1 straight up and 63-70-3 against the spread.
