After a blocked field goal, the Chiefs remain undefeated, the Cowboys season is over and the Lions got a big time win over the Texans despite Jared Goff throwing 5 intercepts.
A wild week of NFL action is in the books, and there could be just as much this week with some juicy match-ups this week.
Week 11 gets underway so I’ve done some digging and crunched the numbers.
Let’s see what we’ve got.
Jayden Daniels and the Commanders have been one of the best stories of the NFL this season. They’ve been able to hold their own against the big dogs so far and they’ll have to bring their best to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles in a NFC East match-up.
The Eagles defence is starting to fly around the field and could cause some issues for Daniels and on the other side, Jalen Hurts is starting to ramp things up with eleven total touchdowns in his last three games.
The Commanders are going to have a tough time containing Saquon Barkley, their rushing defence is well below par which has me thinking Nick Sirianni will be giving the star rb plenty of touches.
With a game plan revolving around Saquon it’s only natural that Hurts isn’t throwing the ball that much. He’s gone under his total passing attempts in five consecutive games and as I mentioned earlier, the Commanders can’t stop the run.
My bets
Philadelphia Eagles -3.5 @ $1.94
Jalen Hurts Anytime Touchdown Scorer
Saquon Barkley Over 93.5 Rushing Yards
Jalen Hurts Under 27.5 Passing Attempts
Baltimore @ Pittsburgh (Early Slate)
This match-up could be just as if not more exciting than this week’s TNF showdown.
The winner of this AFC North meeting will take be looking down at the other three teams. The Steelers are perfect with Russell Wilson leading the team, but Lamar has reached another level.
The reigning MVP is already smashing last season’s numbers, he’s playing like a real-life superhero. He might have a tougher time this week though facing this Steelers defence.
My head says Ravens, but there is just something about this Steelers team that makes me think it’s going to be a lot closer than it may seem.
My bets
Pittsburgh Steelers +3 @ $1.94
Lamar Jackson Over 234.5 Passing Yards
George Pickens Anytime Touchdown Scorer
Mahomes vs Allen has provided quality entertainment every time and I’m expecting more magic this week.
Plenty think this is where KC lose their first game, but they’ve shown they are the definition of ‘find a way to win’ it isn’t pretty but it’s getting the job done.
Let me just put this out there. Pat Mahomes is 11-3 as the underdog. KC were underdogs in Buffalo for last year’s Divisional Round which they won 27-24 and they’ve already beaten the Niners as underdogs this year. I’m backing the champs.
No game is bigger for the Bills than facing Mahomes and the Chiefs. In the big games, Allen tends to rely on his legs to move the chains. I’m backing him to get moving and rack up the yards on the ground against Spags defence.
My bets
Kansas City Chiefs +2.5 @ $1.97
Josh Allen to have 50+ Rushing Yards
Xavier Worthy Anytime Touchdown Scorer
The Chargers have picked up some momentum under Jim Harbaugh, they’re 6-3 on the season and playing some good football for the most part.
The Bengals and their high powered offence are sitting 4-6 for the season. Joe Burrow has been balling and Ja’Marr Chase is proving why he deserves that contract.
This is another game where I’m siding with the underdog, I think that Burrow and the Bengals offence will be too good.
My bets
Cincinnati Bengals to Win @ $2.02
Joe Burrow to have 250+ Passing Yards
Ja’Marr Chase Anytime Touchdown Scorer
The Cowboys season is over, Cooper Rush replaces Dak under centre, they can’t run the ball or stop it. The only thing positive for the Cowboys is that it’s a night game so CeeDee Lamb won’t be able to blame the sun.
The Texans are the better team on paper but have struggled in the last two weeks to find some rhythm. Playing a Cowboys team that’s falling apart might be just what they need.
Stroud will be happy to have his pal Nico Collins back in action. When healthy he was unstoppable, so I’m expecting Stroud to get the ball in his hands as much as possible.
My bets
Houstan Texans -7.5 @ $1.90
Nico Collins to have 75+ Receiving Yards
CJ Stroud to have 250+ Passing Yards
