NFL Football Week 11 Odds, Lines & Betting: Philadelphia at Chicago

BigpoppaThaShowstoppa — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 14:55:42 +0000

With both teams describing it as a must-win game, the Philadelphia Eagles and Chicago Bears face off at Soldier Field on Sunday night, each trying to avoid a third straight loss.

If you are looking to bet on this game, NFL Week 11 odds have the Eagles currently listed as 3-point favorites.

Despite the consecutive losses, McNabb and the Eagles are still in contention for a playoff spot, trailing NFC East-leading Dallas by one game.

Donovan McNabb will try to help Philadelphia make a run at first place, but he won’t have Brian Westbrook in the backfield. Westbrook was ruled out after suffering his second concussion in three weeks.

A division title is almost out of the question for Chicago given that Minnesota has a four-game lead in the NFC North. The Bears still believe a playoff berth as a wild-card team is possible.

The Bears have won the last two meetings against the Eagles, including a 24-20 victory at home last season.

NFL Football Week 11 Odds, Lines & Betting: San Diego at Denver

BigpoppaThaShowstoppa — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 14:45:13 +0000

The San Diego Chargers look to win their fifth straight game and move into sole possession of first place in the AFC West on Sunday when they face the slumping Denver Broncos.

NFL football Week 11 odds have not been posted for this game.

The Chargers’ last four-game winning streak was over the final four games of last season, which they finished 8-8. San Diego became the first team to go from 4-8 to the playoffs with a 52-21 victory over Denver in the regular-season finale.

The Broncos lost their final three games in 2008, becoming the first team since divisional play started in 1967 to fail to make the playoffs after holding a three-game lead with three games left.

With a fourth straight defeat Sunday, Denver would drop in the division standings and move closer to missing the playoffs for the fourth straight season.

The Chargers are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven meetings.

NFL Football Week 11 Odds, Lines & Betting: Cincinnati at Oakland

BigpoppaThaShowstoppa — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 14:40:04 +0000

Following another big win, the Cincinnati Bengals could get newly signed Larry Johnson involved earlier than expected as they try to end their road struggles against the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.

NFL betting odds have the Bengals currently listed as 10-point road favorites.

The Bengals appear to have a good opportunity to extend a three-game winning streak, as they face teams with a combined four victories over the next three weeks. Cincinnati, though, has lost four straight and 13 of 14 road matchups with the Raiders, including two playoff defeats.

However, the Bengals are rolling, and they now have a running back who knows Oakland well. Johnson was signed Tuesday to back up Cedric Benson after being banished from Kansas City for bad behavior.

The Raiders are 31st in the league in scoring with 9.8 points per game.

Oakland lost 27-10 at Cincinnati in the clubs’ most recent meeting in 2006. The Raiders had won three straight against the Bengals.

NFL Football Week 11 Odds, Lines & Betting: New York Jets at New England

BigpoppaThaShowstoppa — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 14:35:35 +0000

After their offense sputtered in a loss to the rival New York Jets two months ago, the New England Patriots will have a chance to all but bury the struggling Jets in the AFC East if they can improve to 6-0 at home on Sunday.

NFL betting lines have the Patriots currently listed as 10.5-point home favorites.

The loss to Indy in Week 10 ended New England’s three-game winning streak and put a dent in its chances of gaining a first-round playoff bye, but the Patriots still hold a two-game lead on New York and Miami in the East.

New York’s defense hasn’t been as dominant since an impressive 3-0 start under new coach Rex Ryan, the longtime Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator. While the Jets still rank second in the NFL in total defense, the last six opponents have averaged 126.0 yards on the ground, with the team going 1-5.

NFL Football Week 11 Odds, Lines & Betting: Arizona at St. Louis

BigpoppaThaShowstoppa — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 14:23:28 +0000

Kurt Warner and the Arizona Cardinals look to improve to 5-0 on the road for the first time in 61 years Sunday when they try to drop the NFC West rival St. Louis Rams to 0-5 at home.

NFL football betting lines have the Cards favored by 9 points.

Warner is showing that the Cardinals weren’t a fluke in last season’s playoffs. He has 18 touchdown passes to rank fourth in the league and Arizona owns a two-game West lead over San Francisco.

The Cardinals have gotten strong work on the ground from rookie Beanie Wells, who rushed for 75 yards on 10 carries with two touchdowns in the second half last week.

St. Louis features the fifth-worst defense in the league, and the Rams are facing a high-powered offense for the second straight week. They fell 28-23 to unbeaten New Orleans last Sunday.

The Rams are trying to end a 10-game division losing streak.

NFL Football Week 11 Odds, Lines & Betting: San Francisco at Green Bay

BigpoppaThaShowstoppa — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:05:48 +0000

Both the San Francisco 49ers and Green Bay Packers look to build on big wins, while the Packers try for an eighth consecutive victory over the 49ers on Sunday at Lambeau Field.

Currently NFL football Week 11 odds have the Packers listed as 7-point favorites.

While Green Bay avoided a third straight loss with an aggressive defensive effort in a 17-7 win over Dallas last Sunday, San Francisco benefited from five Jay Cutler interceptions and snapped a four-game losing streak with a 10-6 win over Chicago on Nov. 12.

Now Green Bay will try to continue its success over San Francisco, which hasn’t beaten the Packers since a 24-20 win at Lambeau on Nov. 4, 1990.

The Packers have a chance for another solid defensive effort against the 49ers, who rank 27th in total offense and 21st in scoring.

The Niners are 0-4 ATS in the last four meetings.

NFL Football Week 11 Odds, Lines & Betting: Miami at Carolina

BigpoppaThaShowstoppa — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:14:21 +0000

Ronnie Brown’s absence could limit the effectiveness of the Miami Dolphins’ wildcat formation tonight in Charlotte, while the Carolina Panthers will try to get back in the wild-card mix without star tackle Jordan Gross paving the way for their tailback tandem.

NFL football Week 11 odds have the Panthers currently listed as 3.5-point favorites.

Each team has won four of six to improve to 4-5. The Panthers’ 28-19 win over Atlanta on Sunday put them one game behind the Falcons, Packers, Eagles and Giants in the wild-card picture, with a game at New York still remaining on their schedule.

The Panthers have survived on their running game, which is third in the league behind DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart.

On Sunday Williams topped 100 yards for the first time this season, part of a 199-yard day for the league’s fourth-best rushing attack.

Carolina has never beaten the Dolphins in three meetings and hasn’t faced them in Charlotte since 1998.

NFL Football Week 11 Odds, Lines & Betting: Seattle at Minnesota

BigpoppaThaShowstoppa — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:37:46 +0000

With the top-rated passer in the NFL and a running back on the brink of reaching 1,000 yards in just 10 games, the Minnesota Vikings are on course to win a division title. Now, they just have to reach the finish line without a bump in the road.

This Sunday they take on a Seattle Seahawks team that certainly would be a bump in the road if they were to lose.

NFL football betting odds have the Vikings listed as 11-point favorites to get the job done.

The Seahawks are 0-4 away from home this year, being outscored 126-64 in the process. That trend should continue as long as the Vikings don't look past this matchup.

But before you jump all over Vikings, remember that the Seahawks have a history of performing well under the gun recently. In their last 11 games as underdogs of eight points or more, the Seahawks have covered the spread nine times.

BigpoppaThaShowstoppa — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 21:46:38 +0000

The Dallas Cowboys host the Washington Redskins on Sunday as the Redskins look for their first road win of the season.

NFL football betting lines have the Cowboys listed as large 11-point favorites in this one.

The Redskins beat Denver 27-17 at home in Week 10 but still sit last in the NFC East. QB Jason Campbell made 17 of 26 passes for 193 yards with one TD pass.

The Cowboys lost at Green Bay 17-7 in Week 10 but still sit first in the NFC East. QB Tony Romo made 24 of 39 passes for 251 yards with one TD pass and an interception.

Dallas is 3-1 at home and is a much better team on every side of the ball compared to the Redskins. The Cowboys offense is ranked fourth overall with a sixth-ranked passing game and an eighth-ranked running game.

The Redskins are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings.
