Week 10 football preview with the latest odds and point spread on the games Cincinnati Bengals vs. Baltimore Ravens and Detroit Lions vs. Arizona Cardinals.

Week 10 odds and spread: Bengals vs. Ravens, Detroit at Arizona The Baltimore Ravens (4-4) are struggling this year to find good rhythm, but they should catch a break this weekend when they welcome the Cincinnati Bengals (2-6) at M & T Bank Stadium. For this AFC North match-up the Ravens are finally listed as favorite at Bookmaker with odds on winning sitting at -200 and the Bengals hold the dog odds +170. The point spread on the Cincinnati Bengals vs. Baltimore Ravens game favor the Ravens -4 points at Bodog Sports. Betting trends on the two NFL teams show that Cincinnati is 1-5-1 against the spread in its last 7 games, but Baltimore is 1-8 against the spread in its last 9 games.

The Cincinnati Bengals are doing good offensively, with 353.1 yards per game and 24.8 points on average, which places their O 7th overall in the NFL. But when the defense comes out on the field is when things get messy, allowing 30.5 points per game, one of the worst in the league. The stats of the Ravens are completely opposite and Baltimore will take advantage of the weak Bengals defense to pile up some points on Sunday. IN Baltimore, TE Todd Heap, WR Yamon Figurs, safeties Gerome Sapp and Ed Reed all had limited practice yesterday and TE Daniel Wilcox, LB Terrell Suggs and CB David Pittman missed Thursday's practice. Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson, as well as TE Reggie Kelly, CB Deltha O'Neal, LBs Caleb Miller and Anthony Schlegel missed Thursday's practice.

Moving to the next Week 10 NFL game, where the Detroit Lions (6-2) will visit the Arizona Cardinals (3-5) this weekend and the bookies continue to play it safe, plus we have a difference between the top odds makers on the outcome of this game. At Bookmaker the Lions are underdog, paying out EVEN and the Cardinals are listed as favorite with odds -120. The point spread on the Detroit Lions vs. Arizona Cardinals at Bodog Sports is posted at -1 point chalk the Lions, and at Bookmaker -1 point chalk the Cardinals. Both bookies agree on a total of 45 points.

We think that this game will go against the bookmakers and the Lions will beat the Cardinals by at least 3 points. Detroit is closing in on the Packers and they will have the chance to meet and settle the score two weeks from now, but a game against the Giants is next. If the Lions want to keep their playoff dreams alive - they must beat the Cardinals by all means. We have pointed out the Lions in the past few weeks and the low spread or underdog status they get and if you have kept up with us, you have made a buck. The Lions have always struggled defensively, but the last few games show real improvement, with 8 turnovers and only 14 points in the last two games alone (Bears and Broncos). With 3-5 record, the Cardinals are still a contender for the NFC West, just comes to show you how weak this division is. Detroit is 4-1 against the spread in its last 5 games and Arizona is 10-4-1 ATS in its last 15 games.
