Chicago turned the ball over five times on Sunday night and still escaped with a win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Cairo Santos split the uprights from 38 yards as time expired, giving the Chicago Bears a 27-24 victory at Soldier Field after Tampa Bay had wiped out a 24-13 deficit. Caleb Williams threw for 279 yards and two touchdowns but was picked off four times, and Luther Burden coughed up a fourth-quarter fumble on a night when he also caught seven passes for 97 yards and a score. Cornerback Jaylon Johnson delivered Chicago’s biggest swing, a 67-yard interception return for a touchdown against Baker Mayfield, who rebounded from his zero-completion outing in Atlanta with 243 passing yards. Bucky Irving rushed for two touchdowns, and Mayfield scrambled in a two-point conversion to tie the game at 24 before Williams connected with Colton Loveland for 38 yards to set up the winning kick. The Bears (7-2) fell short of covering as 6-point favorites, while the 51 combined points sailed over the 47.5 total. Week 10 moves the spotlight to Paycor Stadium, where the Cincinnati Bengals host the Pittsburgh Steelers on November 15 with first place in the AFC North on the line.
Thursday, November 12, opens Week 10 as the Washington Commanders travel to MetLife Stadium to face the New York Giants at 8:15 p.m. ET on Prime Video, with DraftKings listing New York as a 1.5-point favorite and the total at 42.5. Sunday morning features an international stop in Munich, where the Detroit Lions take on the New England Patriots at 9:30 a.m. ET on FOX. Monday, November 16, closes the week as the Baltimore Ravens host the Los Angeles Chargers on ESPN, with Baltimore laying 3.5 points despite a 4-5 record and a 33-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in its latest game.
Week 10 Sunday Night Football Odds: Steelers at Bengals
Cincinnati opened as a 3.5-point home favorite, and the number has barely budged since. On Monday morning, DraftKings had the Bengals at -3.5 (-118) with a 48.5-point total, while FanDuel and Caesars were dealing Cincinnati at -3 and most books had the total closer to 47.5. The moneyline at DraftKings sat at Bengals -180 and Steelers +150, and FanDuel offered a shorter Cincinnati price of -162 with Pittsburgh at +136. A look-ahead line briefly reached 4.5 before settling back at 3.5, so keep an eye on whether the hook comes or goes once the first injury reports arrive Wednesday.
The Bengals (6-2) are riding a four-game winning streak after making franchise history in Madrid, where a 34-17 rout of the Atlanta Falcons gave Cincinnati its first victory outside the US. Joe Burrow completed 24 of 29 throws for 271 yards and three scores, added a rushing touchdown and now has four straight games with at least three touchdown passes, every one of them a win, which has pushed him toward the front of the MVP race. Ja’Marr Chase piled up 10 catches for 155 yards, 142 of them in the first half, and Tee Higgins caught two short touchdowns. Cincinnati has reached 30 points in four consecutive games, tying a franchise record, and its 29.6 points per game rank second only to the Buffalo Bills. The thin spot is tight end, where Erick All (knee) and Tanner Hudson (pectoral) are both listed out, and defensive end Cashius Howell was recently placed on injured reserve with a wrist injury.
Pittsburgh (6-2) spent Week 9 on its bye after a 27-6 home win over the Cleveland Browns moved it into sole possession of first. Aaron Rodgers has relied heavily on his tight ends, with Pat Freiermuth (four touchdowns) and Darnell Washington (three) serving as his most dependable scoring targets, while Jaylen Warren leads the ground game with 704 yards at 5.9 per carry. Wide receiver is the clear weakness. DK Metcalf has just 33 catches for 378 yards and one touchdown on 65 targets, and Roman Wilson is dealing with a finger injury, so general manager Omar Khan’s moves before the November 10 trade deadline could reshape this passing attack before kickoff.
The stakes are simple. Pittsburgh took the first meeting 30-27 in Week 3 and currently owns the tiebreaker, so a win in Cincinnati would complete a season sweep and give the Steelers a firm grip on the division. A Bengals win splits the series and hands Cincinnati sole control of first place. Behind them, the Browns remain in the hunt, while the Ravens have slid to 4-5 with Lamar Jackson on injured reserve.
Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati hosts the game at 8:20 p.m. ET, with NBC handling the broadcast and Peacock streaming it.

Week 10 SNF Player Props: Steelers vs. Bengals
Ja’Marr Chase is the natural starting point on this prop board. He shredded Atlanta for 155 yards, leads the AFC with seven touchdown catches and should carry one of the highest receiving yardage numbers of the week, so the real question is whether Pittsburgh rolls extra coverage his way and leaves Tee Higgins in favorable spots. Higgins, with 758 yards and six scores through eight games, makes a sensible anytime touchdown candidate inside the 10-yard line. Burrow’s passing touchdown total is another angle after four straight three-score outings, though a spread of only 3.5 suggests oddsmakers expect a tighter contest than Cincinnati’s recent blowouts. On the Pittsburgh side, Warren’s rushing yardage line deserves a long look at 5.9 yards per carry, and with the wide receivers struggling to produce, Freiermuth and Washington stand out as touchdown threats whenever Rodgers gets near the goal line. Review Wednesday’s practice reports, along with any deadline additions to the Steelers’ receiver room, before locking in a play.
Other ways to bet on Sunday Night Football
Beyond the point spread, moneyline and total, there are several other ways to get in on Sunday Night Football action all season long. Here are some popular options from our NFL betting guide:
Same-game parlays: Combine multiple picks from the same game onto a single ticket, such as a spread, a total and a player prop, for a bigger payout. Every pick has to hit for the parlay to cash, so a single wrong leg sinks the whole ticket.
In-play betting: The betting doesn’t stop once Sunday Night Football kicks off. Live odds shift throughout the game based on what’s happening on the field, and sportsbooks offer new spreads, totals and props in real time as the action unfolds.
Alternate lines: Move off the main spread or total to find a number you’re more comfortable with. Alternate lines run from a half-point up to double digits, and the payout adjusts based on how much risk you’re taking on or off the standard line.
You can also work Sunday Night Football into bigger parlays across the week’s slate, tying it to the early Sunday games or pairing it with Thursday Night Football and Monday Night Football for a full-week ticket.
