Best NFL Week 10 total bets: Keep betting on unders

Another 2-1 week brings our NFL season total record to 15-12. With dreary quarterback play leading to some ugly offensive displays this season, betting on unders has become a profitable trend.

The market is adjusting as totals are increasingly becoming lower. Let's dive into our best total bets for Week 10.

Jets @ Raiders under 37 points

Unders are 23-7 in prime-time games. There isn't a better prime-time under candidate than a Sunday Night Football matchup between the Raiders and Jets. This is worth a bet, even with this total as low as it is.

This contest will be played in the teens, leading to most fans snoozing off on their couch late after a tiring Sunday of watching football.

The Jets have the third-worst scoring offense and look incompetent with Zach Wilson under center, regardless of the defense they're facing.

The Raiders have the NFL's seventh-worst scoring offense, although they scored 30 points against the Giants last week. However, rookie quarterback Aidan O'Connell is still unproven. The Jets also have a top-10 scoring defense.

Seven of the Raiders' nine games have gone under the total, and five of the Jets' eight contests have gone under.

Vikings team total under 19.5 points

The Vikings are a feel-good club that had played solid football before Kirk Cousins tore his Achilles tendon. But Minnesota still scored 31 points in its first game without Cousins.

Joshua Dobbs entered the Vikings last week with virtually no practice reps with the offense. He was tasked with guiding the team to a win and executed brilliantly.

But this is the week Minnesota gets back to reality as a squad that'll be on the outside looking in of the playoff picture. Dobbs is the starter moving forward, and while he has more weapons than he did in Arizona, there's a reason the Cardinals benched him.

The Vikings won't be a consistently good offense with Dobbs under center, especially against the Saints, the league's seventh-best scoring defense.

Packers @ Steelers under 39 points

Seven of the Steelers' eight games have gone under the total. They've been an under-machine this season because of their stifling defense and underwhelming offense.

Packers games have also gone under more often than not.

Jordan Love has been inconsistent, and Green Bay's entire offense struggles to move the ball down the field. The Packers have reached 20 points just once in its last four contests. Pittsburgh is holding teams to 20.4 points per game.

The Steelers' offense hasn't been much better. Expect a low-scoring, defensive-oriented game.
