Week 11 in the NFL is nearly in the books with just the Bucs and Giants left on the schedule for “Monday Night Football.” As we look back at the action from Sunday, the league once again was keeping us on our toes with a number of wild results including the Texans’ win over the Titans, a Colts blowout against the Bills in Buffalo, and the Vikings edging out a victory over Green Bay.
The quarterback play is going to be of central focus in this matchup as Detroit is unlikely to have Jared Goff once again this week as he continues to battle an oblique injury.
The Cowboys could be shorthanded at the skill positions with Amari Cooper already ruled out due to COVID and fellow receiver CeeDee Lamb currently in concussion protocol.
Each of these teams are coming off blowout losses where they surrendered 40-plus points, so they’ll be looking to rebound on the holiday.
It will be fascinating to see how one of the NFL’s top-ranked run defenses tries to slow down Colts running back Jonathan Taylor after his franchise-record-setting performance on Sunday where he totaled five touchdowns in the win over Buffalo.
That said, it will be interesting to see what Houston can do for an encore after upsetting the Titans on the road where they picked off Ryan Tannehill four times en route to their second win of the year.
Any significant movement will be reserved for after New York’s matchup with the Bucs, but the Eagles have opened as a 3.5-point road favorite against their NFC East rival.
Welcome home, Cam Newton! Even in the loss to Washington on Sunday, Newton played well in his first start since returning to the Panthers, completing 77.7% of his passes and finding the end zone a total of three times.
After New England’s win on Thursday and the Bills’ loss to the Colts on Sunday, the Patriots have now leaped into first place in the AFC East and are currently the No.
could be in a position to stay in the race as the Bengals have not been a solid bet following a straight-up win, going 1-5 ATS in their last six.
It was a week to forget for both of these clubs as they each lost by at least 20 points in Week 11.
The Chargers will now travel to Denver to take on the Broncos, who are also looking to jump back into the playoff race and jump above .500 on the season.
Not only have the Rams struggled in their previous two games, but they also come into Sunday’s matchup failing to cover in their last four contests.
That may set them up nicely for this matchup against the 49ers, who have been playing better as of late, but are 1-4 ATS in their last five home games.
Even without him under center, Baltimore was able to pull off a last-second win over the Bears on the road to push them to 7-3 on the season.
Both of these clubs have also not played well against teams with a losing record, owning a combined 6-14 ATS record over their last 10 games in that setting, so something will need to give.
