NFL Week 10 Odds: The NFL schedule has already reached its tenth week and both conferences are starting to take some definitive shape. With that in mind, there are some huge games slated for this weekend as the Steelers take on the Bengals, the Patriots meet the Colts, and the Cowboys visit the Packers. This week also features the second Thursday night game of the season with Mike Singletary's Forty Niners hosting his old team, the Chicago Bears.

Cincinnati Bengals vs Pittsburgh Steelers (-7): This clash between AFC North foes is the biggest game of the weekend, despite the great rivalry that now exists between the Pats and Colts. Pittsburgh and Cincinnati are both rolling right now and, at 6-2, are tied for first place in the division. With the Baltimore Ravens fading fast (lost for the fourth time in their last five game on Sunday, falling 7-17 to Cincy), the North has, most likely, come down to these two teams. The winner, especially if it is Cincinnati, will have a big leg up with eight games left. The Bengals shocked the Steelers in week three with a late comeback that resulted in a 23-20 victory. That game, as well as the playoff implications of this contest, will, no doubt, be on the Steelers minds when things kick off on Sunday.

Despite the -7 spread, those who expect the Bengals to wilt in front of a Steelers' crowd should consider that Cincy is 3-3 in their last six visits to Pittsburgh.

New England Patriots vs Indianapolis Colts (-3): This has become one of the great rivalries in the NFL as these two teams have consistently played meaningful games for the better part of a decade. When they meet at Lucas Oil Stadium this Sunday night, it will be more of the same. Indianapolis has the best record in the AFC at 8-0 and appears to be barreling toward home field advantage. However, the Patriots could put a dent in those hopes with a win as they would improve to 7-2 and sit just a game back of the Colts in the race for AFC superiority. Indy's defense will need a better effort than the one they turned in against Houston on Sunday. The Texans racked up 22 first downs and 382 yards, but were setback by a self destructive 13 penalties and three turnovers. The Patriots offense has resembled 2007 form of late, averaging over 40 points per game in their last three contests.

Series Note: The Colts are 4-1 in their last five meetings with the Patriots. Indy is 10-2 at Lucas Oil Stadium, but has won 10 straight at the new facility.
