  • After starting the year 3-0 ATS, the Cowboys are just 2-4 since then. They’ve been favored in every game so far this season.
  • The Lions are 0-4 ATS in their last four games after beginning the season 4-1. Detroit has only been favored twice this season.
  • The Lions are 8-4 straight up (SU) in their last 12 games against the Cowboys. The teams have split the last 10 games against the spread, though, going 5-5.
  • In their last eight meetings, the total has gone over in seven games.
  • The over is 6-3 in Cowboys games this season, including 4-1 in the last five.
  • The Lions are 2-5 ATS in their last seven home games and 1-3-1 SU at home this season.

Cowboys at Lions: Key injuries

Lions: QB Matthew Stafford (back) will miss his second straight game, while CB Darius Slay (neck) was limited in practice, but is expected to be fine for Week 11.

Cowboys: WR Amari Cooper (knee, ankle) and DE DeMarcus Lawrence (neck) are expected to play.

Prediction

Cowboys 30, Lions 20

Moneyline (?)

The Cowboys typically take care of business against lesser opponents, but their Week 6 loss to the New York Jets was a stunner. They should be able to beat the Lions, who will have Jeff Driskel at QB, despite being on the road.

Take the COWBOYS (-304) to win outright against the Lions. Driskel and the Lions offense will have trouble moving the ball against Dallas’ defense, and Detroit struggles to stop the run.

New to sports betting? Every $3.04 wagered that Dallas wins outright will profit $1 if the Cowboys prevail. A $10 bet would profit $3.29 (10 divided by 3.04).

Against the Spread (?)

Despite being without Stafford, the Lions are only 6.5-point underdogs. That’s not very many points for a team starting its backup quarterback against a stout defense.

Dallas will cover the spread and win this one by at least one touchdown. Bet the COWBOYS -6.5 (-121).

Over/Under (?)

The total has gone over in four of the Cowboys’ last five games and three of the last four for Detroit. The over/under of 46.5 might seem like a lot for a team led by Driskel, but the total will go above that number.

Take the OVER (-115) in this matchup, primarily because the Cowboys offense is rolling right now.

Cardinals-49ers odds: San Francisco big favorites after 1st loss of season

Previewing Sunday’s Arizona Cardinals at San Francisco 49ers Week 11 matchup, with NFL betting odds, picks and best bets

[jwplayer JLUmLtYE]

The Arizona Cardinals (3-6-1) are on the road to face the San Francisco 49ers (8-1) for the second time in three weeks in this NFC west battle. The game kicks off at 4:05 p.m. ET at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. The game will air on FOX.

We analyze the Cardinals-49ers odds and sports betting lines, while providing betting tips and advice on this Week 11 NFL matchup.

Cardinals at 49ers: Week 11 preview, betting trends and notes

Get some action on the games by betting at BetMGM. New customer offer: RISK-FREE First Bet (up to $500!) paid in free bets.

  • The 49ers lost for the first time in this season in Week 10, a 27-24 overtime loss at home to the Seattle Seahawks.
  • Cardinals RB Kenyan Drake rushed for 110 yards and a touchdown and had 162 total yards against the 49ers two weeks ago.
  • Cardinals QB Kyler Murray had three touchdown passes last week and was intercepted for the first time in over a month. He set an NFL rookie record with 211 consecutive passes without an interception.
  • 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo threw four touchdown passes and had 317 passing yards against the Cardinals in Week 9.
  • The Cardinals have scored at least 25 points in five of the last six games. The 49ers have only given up more than 25 points twice all season.

Cardinals at 49ers: Key injuries

Cardinals: DE’s Jonathan Bullard (foot) and Rodney Gunter (calf), LB Terrell Suggs (hamstring) and CB Patrick Peterson (calf) are questionable. RB Chase Edmonds (hamstring) is out.

49ers: WR Dante Pettis (back) and LB Azeez Al-Shaair (concussion) are questionable. WR Emmanuel Sanders (ribs) and TE George Kittle (knee) are doubtful. OT Joe Staley (finger), RB Matt Breida (ankle) and DT D.J. Jones (groin) are out.

Cardinals at 49ers: Odds, betting lines and prediction

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday at 1:50 p.m. ET.

Prediction

49ers 28, Cardinals 27

Moneyline (?)

AVOID. At -500, the San Francisco 49ers are almost a sure thing, but it will win you almost nothing. A $10 bet will only earn a $2 profit. However, the Cardinals at +370 make one heck of a value, but considering the imbalanced matchup, it isn’t worth the wager.

Against the Spread (?)

The 49ers are favored by 11.5 (+100) points at home. They are 5-4 ATS this season, while the Cardinals have been an impressive 7-3 ATS. The Cardinals are bad defensively, but the 49ers are missing enough weapons on offense to keep from pulling ahead by a bunch. The Cardinals offense is scoring enough to keep them in the game. Take the CARDINALS at +11.5 (-121).

Over/Under (?)

The total is set at 45.5, which seems low. While the 49ers are allowing only 14.3 points per game, good for second in the league, the Cardinals have scored at least 25 in five of the last six games, including against the 49ers two weeks ago. The Cardinals allow 28.1 points per game. Games involving the Cardinals have hit the Over in six of 10 games. Take the OVER (+100) in this one.

Jets-Redskins odds: Redskins slight favorites at home

Previewing Sunday’s New York Jets at Washington Redskins Week 11 matchup, with NFL betting odds, picks and best bets

[jwplayer JLUmLtYE]

The New York Jets (2-7) face the Washington Redskins (1-8) Sunday at FedEx Field at 1 p.m. ET.

We analyze the Jets-Redskins odds and betting lines while providing betting tips and advice around this Week 11 NFL matchup.

Jets at Redskins: Week 11 preview, betting trends and notes

Looking to place a bet on this game or others? Sign up at BetMGM.

  • The Jets held on for dear life as they beat the Giants 34-27 in week 10.
  • The Redskins were on a bye last week.
  • The last meeting between the two was a 34-20 Jets win in 2015.
  • Both teams have bad respective home/road splits. The Jets are 0-4 on the road, while the Redskins are 0-4 at home.
  • The Redskins defense is improving. They have given up 24.3 points per game but only 17.6 points per game since week 6.
  • The Redskins rank 30th in offensive yards per game (259.1 YPG) and average just 12 points per contest. They rank dead last in their last three games with just 204 yards per game of offense.
  • With that drought, the Redskins have announced that Dwayne Haskins will be their starting QB for the rest of the season.
  • The Jets allow just 81.9 yards per game rushing (second best in the NFL). Their 26.4 points per game rank 25th.
  • The Jets rank last in yards per game and passing yards per game. They rank 30th in points at 14.4 per contest.
  • The Jets have a turnover margin of minus-6, while the Redskins are minus-3.

Jets at Redskins: Odds, betting lines and prediction

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday at 12:30 p.m. ET.

Prediction

NY Jets 20, Redskins 17

Moneyline (?)

The JETS (+115) remain a solid play because of the small price and value vs. the Redskins (-139). They have shown some offensive spark at times, particularly last week against the Giants. Washington can be just as bad defensively, especially considering an inexperienced quarterback could mean more time on the field spent.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the Jets to win returns a profit of $11.50 with a victory.

Against the Spread (?)

Taking the Jets to win on the moneyline means picking them against the spread as well at (+2.5, -110). If  QB Case Keenum was starting, maybe there would have been some consideration but not now. New York has the momentum from last week’s win on their side.

Over/Under (?)

The UNDER 38.5 (-106) is the bet here. The Redskins averaging just 12 points per game makes this a reasonable wager. Also, weather could come into play with a possible coastal storm. Expect cold and potentially rainy/windy conditions.

Bengals-Raiders odds: Oakland double-digit home favorite

Previewing Sunday’s Cincinnati Bengals at Oakland Raiders Week 11 matchup, with NFL betting odds, picks and best bets

[jwplayer JLUmLtYE]

The winless Cincinnati Bengals (0-9) visit the Oakland Raiders (5-4) Sunday for a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff at RingCentral Coliseum (on CBS). We analyze the Bengals-Raiders odds and sports betting lines, while providing betting tips and advice on this Week 11 NFL matchup.

Bengals at Raiders: Week 11 preview, betting trends and notes

Get some action on the games by betting at BetMGM. New customer offer: RISK-FREE First Bet (up to $500!) paid in free bets. 

  • The Bengals lost at home to the Baltimore Ravens 49-13 last Sunday, failing to cover as 10.5-point underdogs.
  • The Raiders beat the Los Angeles Chargers 26-24 at home last Thursday as a 1-point underdog. RB Josh Jacobs’ 18-yard touchdown run with 1:02 remaining capped Oakland’s late winning drive.
  • The Bengals are 3-6 against the spread (ATS) and 3-6 against the Over/Under (O/U).
  • Bengals rookie QB Ryan Finley made his first career start last week, completing 16 of 30 passes for 167 yards and one TD with one pick.
  • Raiders QB Derek Carr has thrown for 2,202 yards with 14 TDs and four interceptions this season.
  • The Bengals have won the last three vs. the Raiders, dating back to 2012.
  • The Raiders average 23.1 points per game, ranking 15th. The Bengals are 29th (15.2 PPG).
  • The Raiders are 26th by points allowed (26.7 PPG), while the Bengals are 28th (28.8 PPG).

Bengals at Raiders: Key injuries.

Bengals: WR A.J. Green (ankle), OT Bobby Hart (shoulder), RG Alex Redmond (ankle), DT Geno Atkins (knee) are questionable. RB Giovani Bernard (knee) is probable, while CB Dre Kirkpatrick (knee) is out.

Raiders: FS Lamarcus Joyner (hamstring) is doubtful, while C Rodney Hudson (ankle), DE Josh Mauro (groin) and CB Trayvon Mullen (illness) are questionable. Jacobs (shoulder) is probable.

Prediction

Raiders 42, Bengals 13

Moneyline (?)

AVOID. The Raiders will win this one, but the moneyline price of -625 is too low for my tastes – every $6.25 wagered on an Oakland win profits $1.

The Bengals are +450 – wagering $1 to win $4.50 should they win outright – but you’re better off donating your cash to a worthy cause.

Against the Spread (?)

The RAIDERS (-10.5, -115) are worth a play. They’re 7-1 ATS in their last eight home games; however, they haven’t won a game by more than eight points this season. The Bengals (+10.5, -106) have lost their last three games by a combined 60 points.

Over/Under (?)

The OVER 48.5 (-115) is worth a small-unit play … but just like I suggested last week with Cincy, the STRONGEST PLAY is the 1st-half OVER 23.5 (-134). The Bengals are terrible against the run, ranking last in the league by allowing 173 yards per game. Oakland could score three TDs before halftime.

New to sports betting? Bet $13.40 to win $10 that 24 or more points will be scored by halftime.

Patriots-Eagles odds: New England road favorite over Philadelphia in Week 11

Analyzing the New England Patriots at Philadelphia Eagles Week 11 NFL match up, with NFL betting odds, lines, picks and best bets

The Philadelphia Eagles (5-4) play host to the New England Patriots (8-1) Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET at Lincoln Financial Field. Here, we focus on the Patriots-Eagles odds and lines, while providing NFL betting tips and advise on this key Week 11 NFL matchup.

Patriots at Eagles: Week 11 preview, betting trends and notes

Special BetMGM New Jersey New Customer Prop Bet!

BET $1, WIN $100 in free bets if Patriots QB Tom Brady completes a pass against the Eagles Nov. 17, 2019. Place your bet now!
Visit BetMGM for terms and conditions.

  • The Patriots are coming off a bye. In their last game, the Baltimore Ravens handed them their first loss of the season with a convincing 37-20 beating. It was a good loss at a good time for the defending Super Bowl Champions.
  • The Eagles are also coming off a bye. They beat the Chicago Bears 22-14 in Week 9, which was their second consecutive win.
  • Since 2003, the Patriots have won four of the six matchups vs. the Eagles. New England has lost the last two, including a 41-33 loss during Super Bowl LII.
  • The Patriots are 6-3 against the spread (ATS) this season, but 3-2 on the road. They’re 3-6 against the Over/Under (O/U), and 1-4 on the road.
  • The Eagles are 4-5 ATS, while 2-2 at home. They are 5-4 vs. the O/U, with a 2-2 record at home.

Patriots at Eagles: Key injuries

Eagles LT Jason Peters (knee), WR Alshon Jeffery (ankle) and RB Jordan Howard (shoulder) are all dealing with injuries. Peters and Howard were limited Wednesday, Jeffery missed practice.

Prediction

Patriots 24, Eagles 20

Special BetMGM prop line

In New Jersey? BetMGM has a special prop bet on Patriots QB Tom Brady for new customers. Bet $1 and win $100 (in free bets) if Brady completes a pass vs. the Eagles Sunday, Nov. 17, 2019. Easy win. Visit BetMGM for terms and conditions.

Moneyline (?)

The PATRIOTS (-186) are the play; and, while still chalky, the juice isn’t nearly as painful as usual. You can thank the Ravens for that. Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has a .736 win percentage following a bye. Brady is 13-4 following a bye. While the Eagles (+155) might be enticing, it’s a hard pass here.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the Patriots returns a profit of $5.38 with a New England victory.

Against the Spread (?)

The Patriots are favored by three-and-a-hook, which is a teasing line (-106). Don’t take the bait. In the Eagles’ four losses, they’ve either been blown out or played it very close. This spread is too dangerous to wager and the best bet here is no bet at all. AVOID.

Over/Under (?)

With 44.5 points slated as the total and both teams returning from a bye, this feels like it will be a game of chess and that number will be a razor-thin margin on my projections. The UNDER (-115) is the play, but just a small-unit wager.

Falcons-Panthers odds: Carolina favored in NFC South battle

Previewing Sunday’s Atlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers sports betting odds and lines, with Week 11 NFL matchup analysis and picks.

The Atlanta Falcons (2-7) play a second straight NFC South rivalry game in Week 11 when they visit the Carolina Panthers (5-4) Sunday at 1 p.m. ET at Bank of America Stadium. We analyze the Falcons-Panthers odds and sports betting lines, while providing sports betting tips and advice on this matchup.

Falcons at Panthers: Week 11 preview, betting trends and notes

Get some action on the games by betting at BetMGM. New customer offer: RISK-FREE First Bet (up to $500!) paid in free bets.

  • The Falcons returned from their bye at 1-7 and beat the New Orleans Saints 26-9 in a dominant road effort this past Sunday.
  • The Falcons have won the last three and six of the last seven head-to-head meetings dating back to Dec. 27, 2015.
  • Carolina ranks seventh in the NFL with 131.4 team rushing yards per game. Atlanta ranks 29th and is now without starting RB Devonta Freeman for at least two weeks due to a foot sprain.
  • Only nine teams allow more total yards per game than the Falcons at 371.8. Three teams allow more points per game than the 28.8 given up by Atlanta.
  • The Falcons have no interceptions and have surrendered 17 passing touchdowns since Week 3. The Panthers have averaged 1.57 INTs per game since Week 3.
  • The Panthers allow a league-high 83.3% completion rate on opponent passes in the red zone.

Falcons at Panthers: Key injuries

Falcons TE Autin Hooper (knee) joins Freeman on the sideline. CB Desmond Trufant (toe) is questionable after sitting again in Week 10. Backup RB Ito Smith (neck) is out for the season.

Falcons at Panthers: Odds, betting lines and prediction

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Tuesday at 2 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Falcons 27, Panthers 24

Moneyline (?)

The Panthers are 2-2 straight up at home while the Falcons improved to 1-4 as the visitors with last week’s road win. While Atlanta is without two key pieces of the offense, it still has red-zone threats in WRs Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley. Back the FALCONS (+210) to keep it rolling following last week’s emotional win.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the Falcons to win would return a profit of $21.

Against the Spread (?)

The FALCONS are also a fine play on the spread of +5.5 at -110 odds to lose by five or fewer points, or win outright. They’re just 3-6 against the spread and fail to cover by an average of 4.5 points, but the Panthers are just 2-2 ATS at home and Atlanta has dominated this matchup.

Over/Under (?)

Grab the OVER 50.5 (-110) with key defensive injuries. Carolina is 6-3 against the Over/Under while Atlanta is 3-6. The Falcons have a neutral differential against the totals through nine games with the Panthers plus-4.4 against the projections.

BET $1, WIN $100 in free bets if Browns QB Baker Mayfield completes a pass against the Steelers Nov. 14, 2019. Place your bet now!
Visit BetMGM for terms and conditions.

  • The Steelers enter Week 11 as winners of four straight games, including a 17-12 upset of the Los Angeles Rams on home field in Week 10.
  • The Browns snapped a four-game losing streak with a 19-16 home win over the Buffalo Bills.
  • Cleveland ranks 26th in the NFL with 19.0 points per game. Pittsburgh is 19th with an average of 21.4 points per game.
  • The Browns are 19th with 348.4 total yards of offense per game. The Steelers are 28th with 288.8 total yards. Cleveland averages 40 more rushing yards per game.

Steelers at Browns: Odds, betting lines and prediction

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Monday at 10:45 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Browns 24, Steelers 20

Moneyline (?)

The Browns got their first home win of the season in Week 10 and are 1-3 at First Energy Stadium. Pittsburgh is 1-2 on the road. Back CLEVELAND (-149) as a conservative home favorite on the short week with no travel.

Against the Spread (?)

The BROWNS (-2.5, -120) are just 2-6-1 overall against the spread. They’ve lost by an average of 5.6 points per game and fall 4.9 points shy of the cover. Pittsburgh (+2.5, +100) is 6-3-0 and covers by an average of 1.6 points.

With the projection of a field goal, however, take the home side as they’ll need to win by just three points for a $10 bet to return a profit of $8.33. The same wager on the moneyline nets a $6.71 return.

Over/Under (?)

Both teams are coming off low-scoring games in Week 10, as Cleveland and Pittsburgh played to point totals of 35 and 29 points, respectively. It followed the season trend for both sides of playing below the projected total.

Thursday’s number of 40.5 seems like an over-correction for a divisional clash. Take the OVER (-120).
