Expert Predictions and Best Bets for Week 11
This slate of NFL games is filled to the brim with action, and our experts are weighing in to help make sense of the odds and lines heading into Week 11. It’s enough to make even the most casual fan sit up and take notice, so let’s get right into what the experts are predicting for each game.
Tennessee Titans at Green Bay Packers (Thursday)
The Week 11 Thursday night matchup features the Titans heading to Lambeau Field to take on the Packers. Green Bay is a slight favorite at -3, and while many expected them to be dominant this season, their struggles have been apparent, especially on offense. The Titans, though, bring one of the league’s best rushing attacks to the table, spearheaded by Derrick Henry. With odds sitting at Titans +3 and the over-under at 41, experts are leaning toward Tennessee here, thinking they’ll rely on Henry to grind out a tough win on the road.
Dallas Cowboys at Minnesota Vikings
A marquee clash between two NFC powerhouses happens on Sunday as the Cowboys face off against the Vikings. The Cowboys are surprisingly listed as 1.5-point road favorites, but that may not last long as money could be pouring in on the 8-1 Vikings. Kirk Cousins is still somewhat of an enigma, but he’s found a rhythm alongside Justin Jefferson, one of the top wideouts in the game. The point total is set at 47.5, and many expect offensive fireworks, especially after Minnesota’s thrilling overtime win last week against the Bills.
Kansas City Chiefs at Los Angeles Chargers
What’s better than watching two of the AFC’s brightest stars go head-to-head? That’s exactly what’s in store for us as Patrick Mahomes leads his Chiefs against Justin Herbert and the Chargers on Sunday Night Football. Kansas City is the road favorite at -6, but be cautious here – division games like these can often get wild. Herbert will need to be at his very best if the Chargers are going to keep pace with the high-octane Chiefs offense.
Survivor Picks for Week 11
Still alive in your survivor pools? You’ve come to the right place for some potential picks to help you stay in for another week. Here’s who you should target:
- Baltimore Ravens: Facing the Carolina Panthers at home, Lamar Jackson and the Ravens are heavy favorites (-12). Carolina has been up and down all year – mostly down. This feels like a safe bet for those needing a sure-fire survivor pick.
- Buffalo Bills: The Bills will take on the Cleveland Browns. This will be a bounce-back game for Buffalo after a shocking loss last week. Allen and the Bills will look to reestablish their dominance.
- Philadelphia Eagles: If you haven’t used Philly yet in your pool, now is the time. Jalen Hurts and the Eagles are up against the lowly Colts in Indianapolis. It’s a very winnable game for Philadelphia, and they’ve been among the top teams all season.
Teaser of the Week
Now let’s talk teasers – one of the most exciting ways to mix betting and luck in the NFL. This week, our teaser selection consists of a six-point, two-team combo:
Teaser Pick #1: Chiefs (-6 against the Chargers)
The Chiefs are not likely to lose a division game by more than a touchdown, even if they’re on the road in LA.
Teaser Pick #2: Ravens (-12 against the Panthers)
The Ravens are solid favorites against the struggling Panthers, and teasing them down offers some extra assurance in what is expected to be a lopsided contest.
The Experts Weigh In
With the stakes as high as they are in Week 11, the CBS Sports NFL team has put together their best insights for Sunday’s full slate of games. Whether you’re trying to figure out where the value lies in the spreads, over-unders, or moneylines, the experts are giving you their insider takes.
- Lock of the Week:
Kansas City Chiefs Over Los Angeles Chargers
It’s hard to overlook how sharp the Chiefs offense looks compared to the injury-riddled Chargers squad. Expect Mahomes to control the game from start to finish. - Upset Alert:
Watch out for the New York Jets this weekend. Their defense has been electric, and they have enough firepower to pull off an upset against the Patriots in Foxborough. - Best Value Bet:
Chicago Bears Over Atlanta Falcons
The Bears bring a newly rejuvenated Justin Fields into the game, and sneaking them under the radar as road underdogs could pay off nicely.
Wrapping It Up
With the NFL regular season marching into its midpoint, Week 11 promises to shake things up in the standings and the betting world alike. As you go through your picks, just remember that savvy betting takes a mix of luck and knowledge (and maybe a little bit of expert insight never hurts, right?). Go get ‘em, and enjoy what’s sure to be another thrilling round of NFL showdowns!
