Week eleven NFL Betting Preview Including Our Picks
It is Week 11 of the NFL season already. My, how fast the season has flown by. We've already given our picks on many of this week's best games. But there are still some big ones left we haven't covered. So let's get to it.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Carolina Panthers
The Bucs and Panthers met way back in the opening week of the season. The Bucs won a defensive battle 13-10, holding Panthers quarterback Cam Newton under ten yards rushing for the first time in his NFL career. The Bucs have done well in coach Greg Schiano's first season at the helm. Newton's second year as Panthers quarterback has been a disappointment.
If Newton can rally the Panthers to a win over their division rivals, they may be able to finish the season strong. They have only one game left after this one with a team over .500.
Tampa Bay has all the pressure on them to win. A win and they can remain in the playoff race, but a loss would seriously damage their chances. They've won three in a row to get back into the race at 5-4.
Bodog has Tampa Bay -2 over Carolina. Over/under is 48.5. We like the Bucs -2 and the Under.
Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions
The Packers are 6-3 and trail the Chicago bears by one game in the NFC North. With the Bears starting quarterback, Jay Cutler out with a concussion, the Packers could be in good shape to get into a tie for first place. Green Bay has been very good lately. They have won four in a row and if now for an amazing comeback led by Andrew Luck, they would have six straight.
The Lions are 4-5 and are looking at a Thanksgiving date with the Houston Texans after this game. To win both of those games would be a tall order so the Lions would be wise to get this one. It will take a huge effort on their part. The two teams will meet again on December 9th in Green Bay.
Bodog has the Packers -3.5 -105 or -160. The Lions are +3.5 -115 or +140. Over/under is 52.5. We like the Packers -3.5 and the over.
New Orleans Saints at Oakland Raiders
The Saints are one of the hottest teams in the NFL. They started the year in a 0-4 hole and now are climbing back into the playoff race. They've won four of the last five games, with the only loss being at Denver. The Saints can get to .500 for the first time all year this week. If they do, they'll be right in the thick of the race. Last week, the Saints became the first team all year to beat the Atlanta Falcons.
The Raiders have been a train wreck on defense lately. Last week they were gashed for 55 points. They have won two of their last four games and have been known to pull an upset at home like they did against the Pittsburgh Steelers. They almost did it to Tampa Bay too.
Bodog has the Saints at -6 -105 or - 230. The Raiders are +6 -115 or +190. Over/under is 55. We are going with the Raiders +6. And we like the over.
Cleveland Browns at Dallas Cowboys
Browns are -8 -115 or +300, Cowboys are -8 -105 or -400. Over/under is 43.5. We're going to take the Browns +8.5 and the under.
Arizona Cardinals at Atlanta Falcons
Cardinals are +10 -115 or +350. Falcons are -10 -105 or -500. Over/under is 44. We like the Cardinals +10 and the over.
Jacksonville Jaguars at Houston Texans
The Jags are +15.5. Over/under is 40.5. We are taking the Jags +15.5 and the under.
