This article is for week 10 - please check out our updated NFL week 11 early parlay picks here.

What are the best parlay picks for Week 10 of the NFL season? Is there money to be made this week? We target the top value plays on the early-week lines.

NFL Week 10 is already upon us, and teams are showing their true colors. At this point in the year, it's becoming safe to assume which teams are legitimate contenders. That makes it somewhat easier to make picks, but it also brings challenges.

Upsets are still happening every week. The Jacksonville Jaguars stunned the Buffalo Bills and bettors last week. Another crazy upset could happen this weekend if some teams are not careful. 

It’s time to parlay. Here’s a look at my top parlay picks for Week 10 NFL action (odds via FanDuel Sportsbook; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

Week 10 NFL Parlay Picks

New Orleans Saints vs. Tennessee Titans (-156) ??Minnesota Vikings vs. Los Angeles Chargers (-146) ???Detroit Lions vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (-390) ????

Week 10 NFL Parlay Predictions

Saints vs. Titans (-156)

New Orleans has been a surprising team all year. Despite struggles at the quarterback position, the Saints are 5-3 and have a 3-1 road record. However, they showed weakness against the Atlanta Falcons in their first full game without QB Jameis Winston last week and lost 27-25 as 7-point home favorites.

On the other side, Tennessee proved that it could win without RB Derrick Henry against a tougher opponent. The Titans beat the Los Angeles Rams 28-16, and they keep winning against impressive opponents. 

The Titans defense should be able to stop the Saints' QB duo of Taysom Hill and Trevor Siemian. The offense proved against the Rams that they can still produce without Henry, and they should win this game at home.

Vikings vs. Chargers (-146)

Vikings QB Kirk Cousins has been surprisingly good this year, but the Vikings are still 3-5. They keep games close against better teams, but they barely win close games against inferior opponents. With this combination, it is hard to predict how this game will go.

Still, the Chargers have one of the best young quarterbacks in the game. They know how to execute in key situations, and they can win the game if they are the last team to have possession.

The only red flag for the Chargers is their rushing defense. Vikings RB Dalvin Cook will likely have a great game, and while this is concerning, I don’t expect that to be enough to change the outcome. Los Angeles should win a close one thanks to QB Justin Herbert’s ability to take over games.

Lions vs. Steelers (-390)

This week, we are taking three moneyline picks in hopes of cashing out on the parlay. The Steelers should win this game thanks to their rushing defense and ability to play complementary football. They can win with RB Najee Harris running the ball, but they can also use quick passes to move the chains.

The Steelers have a low ceiling, but they are more than talented enough to beat the Lions. Even though Detroit has kept several games against tough opponents surprisingly close, the Lions remain winless on the season. It’s unlikely for them to get their first win on the road against the fundamentally sound Steelers.

The spread is 9 points. If I had to take a side, it would be Detroit. However, I would rather take the moneyline for a more profitable return with the parlay. The risk is low, and the Steelers should be able to follow up their Week 9 Monday Night Football win to beat another NFC North team.
