NFL Week 10 picks: Who wins battle of first-place teams?

The NFL’s 2024 regular season has crossed its midpoint, 138 of the 272 games already in the books.

Week 10 will add 14 contests to the tally, starting Thursday night with the surging Cincinnati Bengals visiting the soaring Baltimore Ravens, who won the first meeting between the AFC North foes 41-38 five weeks ago. A year ago, Cincy QB Joe Burrow was injured on this same stage.

Sunday morning begins with a less consequential matchup as the New York Giants and Carolina Panthers meet in Munich in the final International Series installment of the season.

But the best games on the docket will come later in the day. First, the Washington Commanders will host the Pittsburgh Steelers in a meeting of first-place teams. The same will happen Sunday night, when the Detroit Lions visit the Houston Texans.

How does our panel of NFL experts see the weekend unfolding?
