Best NFL underdog picks and predictions for Week 11

Jess Root | Staff Writer

In Week 10, there were 7 underdogs who covered the spread. Five won their games outright. It was an exciting weekend as 6 games ended with a game-winning field goal as time expired.

In Week 11, with 4 teams on their bye, there will be 14 total games to wager on and 14 underdogs to consider. Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook NFL odds and lines, and tab the best NFL Week 11 underdog bets to cash in on among SportbookWire's NFL expert picks and predictions.

Last week, you would not have lost money following my picks. The Arizona Cardinals beat the Atlanta Falcons outright. The Houston Texans not only covered the 7-point spread, but beat the Cincinnati Bengals outright. But the game between the Los Angeles Chargers and Detroit Lions ended up a push as the Lions won by 3. I went 2-0-1, bringing my season record to 18-11-1.

BENGALS +3.5 (-110) at Ravens – Thursday, 8:15 p.m. (Prime Video)

Both teams lost on game-ending field goals last week after winning 4 games in a row. Cincy is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games. The Ravens are 3-2 ATS in their last 5.

The Bengals have won 4 of the last 6 meetings between the 2 teams and the Ravens have not beaten the Bengals by more than 3 points since the 2020 season.

CARDINALS +4.5 (-105) at Texans – 1 p.m. (CBS)

The Texans have needed last-minute game-winning drives led by rookie QB C.J. Stroud to win their last 2 games, both by no more than 3 points. They allowed 37 and 27 points in the last 2 weeks.

The Cardinals snapped a 6-game losing streak with a 25-23 last-second win over Atlanta in QB Kyler Murray's 2023 debut. The Cardinals average 22.6 points per game with RB James Conner in the lineup.

RAIDERS +13.5 (-110) at Dolphins – 1 p.m. (CBS)

The Raiders have lost by at least 2 TDs only twice this season and are 2-0 since Josh McDaniels was fired as coach and replaced by Antonio Pierce.

The Dolphins' last 5 wins have been by at least 14 points and they are 2-0 ATS when favored by at least 13 points.

But the defensive intensity with which the Raiders have been playing and the fact the Dolphins have allowed 21 or more points in 3 of their last 4 games make it easy to take the points.
