  • The Rams are 6-3 against the spread this season but they’ve lost four of their last six games and covered the spread in just three of those contests. They’ve been favored in every game this season except one.
  • Chicago hasn’t scored more than 20 points in any of its last three games and has lost four of its last five overall.
  • The Bears are 2-1 against the Rams in their last three meetings, including a 15-6 win over Los Angeles last season in Chicago.
  • The total has gone Under in each of the Rams’ last four games and four of their last five games at home.
  • The Bears are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games against the Rams.
  • The Rams are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four games in November. The Bears are 5-1 ATS in their last six November games.

Bears at Rams: Key injuries

The Rams will be without WR Brandin Cooks (concussion).

Bears LB Danny Trevathan (elbow) won’t be available. TE Trey Burton (calf) is questionable to play.

Prediction

Bears 20, Rams 17

Moneyline (?)

The Rams simply aren’t good enough to warrant a bet here. They’ve been the better team this season, but they don’t instill much confidence at this point – especially against a good defense like Chicago’s.

Take the BEARS (+220) to win straight up on the road. The Rams are only 1-2 at the Coliseum this season, losing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and San Francisco 49ers. They don’t have much of a home-field advantage besides the weather.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the Bears to win would return a profit of $22.

Against the Spread (?)

The Rams enter as 6.5-point favorites but that’s not indicative of the gap between them and the Bears. Chicago has a good chance to win this one outright, which makes this an easy decision.

Take the BEARS (-110) and the 6.5 points. With the way these offenses are playing, it should be a relatively close (and low-scoring) game.

Over/Under (?)

The projected total is only 41.5 points, which is telling of how bad these offenses have been lately. Their defenses are also among the best in football. The total has gone Under in each of the Rams’ last four games, and in each of the Bears’ last three.

Take the UNDER (-134) because it’s hard to imagine either team lighting up the scoreboard in prime time.

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.

[jwplayer 55baftQA]

The undefeated San Francisco 49ers (8-0) will host the rising Seattle Seahawks (7-2) Monday night at Levi’s Stadium for an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. We analyze the Seahawks-49ers odds and lines while providing betting tips and advice around this key Week 10 NFL matchup.

Seahawks at 49ers: Week 10 preview, betting trends and notes

Special BetMGM New Jersey MNF Special Offer! New customers BET $1, WIN $100 in free bets if the 49ers record a sack against the Seahawks Nov. 11th. Place your bet now!

Visit BetMGM for terms and conditions.

  • Seattle has won five of its last six games but has gone just 3-3 against the spread in that span.
  • The 49ers are 5-3 ATS this season but didn’t cover the spread in two of their last three games.
  • The Seahawks have won nine of their last 10 games against the 49ers, going 7-3 ATS in those meetings. Their average margin of victory is 11.8 points per game.
  • The 49ers are 13-2 ATS in their last 15 Monday Night Football games.
  • Seattle is 0-5 ATS after covering the spread the week before.
  • The total has gone Over in six of Seattle’s last seven games against the NFC West.
  • The 49ers rank second in the NFL in rushing yards, time of possession and plays run per game.

Seahawks at 49ers: Key injuries

WR Josh Gordon could make his Seahawks debut Monday night after being claimed by Seattle off waivers from the New England Patriots; he’s recovering from a knee injury. S Quandre Diggs‘ (hamstring) status for Monday is uncertain.

49ers K Robbie Gould (quad) is doubtful. TE George Kittle (knee) is questionable.

Seahawks 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 2 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Seahawks 23, 49ers 21

Moneyline (?)

The Seahawks are one of the best teams in the league and this is a game ripe for an upset. As good as the 49ers have been this year, they showed a few flaws against Arizona last week against dual-threat quarterback Kyler Murray.

Russell Wilson is having an MVP season and will lift the Seahawks to victory. Bet SEATTLE to win straight up with the moneyline (+220).

Against the Spread (?)

If we’re picking the Seahawks to win straight up, you bet we’re taking them with the points, too. Seattle is a 6.5-point underdog in Week 10, which is a huge spread for a divisional matchup – even if San Francisco is at home.

Happily take the points and take the SEAHAWKS (-110) to cover the 6.5-point margin. They’re 13-3 ATS in their last 16 against the 49ers.

Over/Under (?)

The Over/Under is a tough pick this week, since the total is just 46.5 points. The Seahawks offense can go on a tear at any moment thanks to Wilson, but San Francisco’s defense is dominant.

This should be a fairly low-scoring affair with both teams managing the clock. Bet the UNDER (-110) Monday night.
