This season, four teams sit in a tie for the best against-the-spread record at 6-2, and each team is in action in Week 10. The Miami Dolphins (-1.5) host the Los Angeles Chargers in a matchup featuring a pair of rookie quarterbacks in Tua Tagovailoa and Justin Herbert. Also on Sunday, Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers (-14) will try to cover a two-touchdown line at home against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Which teams should you back with your NFL picks and NFL parlays?
Two of the four teams at 6-2 against the spread face each other this week, with the Pittsburgh Steelers (-7.5) hosting the Cincinnati Bengals. Pittsburgh is also the only undefeated team in the NFL on a straight-up basis, while former No. 1 overall pick Joe Burrow will try to pull off a substantial upset and beat one of the largest NFL spreads of the week.

Now, Hammer has locked in three confident best bets for Week 10. If you parlay his picks, you could be looking at a 6-1 payout.
Top Week 10 NFL expert picks
Breaking down the NFL Week 10 schedule, Hammer jumped on the Rams (-1.5) as slight home favorites versus the NFC West rival Seahawks. Aaron Donald is perhaps the best defensive player in football, anchoring an elite Rams defense. The All-Pro tackle is tied for the NFL lead with nine sacks and is third in forced fumbles (three). The Rams currently rank second in both total defense (291.9 yards) and scoring defense (19.0 points).
Stopping the pass is critical against Russell Wilson and the Seahawks, and the Rams are No. 2 in passing yards allowed (197.1 per game) and No. 1 in yards allowed per attempt (6.3). Los Angeles has allowed only nine touchdown passes, fewest in the NFL, and the team is also effective against the run, giving up 3.9 yards per carry (sixth in NFL) and only 94.8 yards per game (fifth).

Hammer, who has inside sources throughout the league, also jumped on two other bigtime matchups: Bills vs. Cardinals and Ravens vs. Patriots, the Sunday Night Football showdown. In one of those games, Hammer says, there is a complete mismatch, creating a spread that's way off. You can only see his best bets here.
