BlueBet previews the NFL Week 11 action below. Read on for our best bets per game and an overview of the feature games this week.
Tennessee Titans at Pittsburgh Steelers
Date: Friday 12:25 pm. Venue: Pittsburgh
Odds: Steelers $1.33, Titans $3.47
The Steelers host the Titans on Friday at Pittsburgh. We'll provide a betting preview of the game below.
Form Guide:
The Titans are right in the AFC South race after four straight wins. Last week they beat the Bengals by 4 points after a late rally. They have won their last three games by 4 or less points. However, the Steelers will be a huge challenge on a short week at Heinz Field.
Pittsburgh survived a close call against the Colts on the road last week and sit at 7-2. They have also won four straight games and the defence has been the key. They rank 1st in the NFL for passing yards allowed and 2nd for overall defence.
Head to Head Record:
The two sides actually met on the exact same date three years ago and the Steelers got over the line by 3 points on the road. But since 2003, the head to head is split at 5-5.
Point Spread:
The Steelers are 7 point favourites in the betting as they play at home on Friday. But the Titans are 5-2 ATS when they play against the Steelers. They’ve also covered in their last 2 road games. We’re expecting the Steelers to win, but the Titans to cover is the best bet.
Best bet: Titans +7.5 ($1.73)
Total Points:
The Steelers are 8-1 against the under total at home as their defence is hard to score against. The Titans have scored a total of just 22 points in their last 2 games on the road. So we would back the under total.
Best bet: Under 44.5 points ($1.82)
Tip:
Steelers HT/FT ($1.66)
Both sides have won four straight so we’re expecting a tight battle in Pittsburgh. The home side has dominated on Friday this season and we’ll back the Steelers to get the job done at home.
Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys
Date: Monday 12:30 pm. Venue: Arlington
Odds: Cowboys $2.56, Eagles $1.54
The Cowboys host the Eagles on Monday at Arlington. We'll provide a betting preview of the game below.
Form Guide:
Philadelphia enter week 11 with the best record in the NFL at 8-1. They had the bye last week and they have won 7 straight games. They also put up 51 points on the Broncos last game.
The Cowboys three-game winning streak was ended last week as the Falcons kept them to a single touchdown. They’re missing Elliot in the running game and they’ll need to find scoring options against the red-hot Eagles.
Head to Head Record:
Since 2012, the Cowboys lead the head to head 6-4. However, the Eagles have won two of the last three meetings. In the last clash, the Eagles beat them 27-13.
Point Spread:
The Eagles will start as 3.5 point favourites for this game. They’re 4-2 ATS on the road at Dallas and 5-0 ATS overall in their last 5 games this season. The Cowboys beat the Chiefs in their last home game but they’re a different side without Elliot. So we’ll take the Eagles to cover.
Best bet: Eagles -3.5 ($2.00)
Total Points:
During their 8-1 start to the season, the Eagles are averaging 31 points per game. The defence has benefited from time off the field as they allow just 19 points per game. Yet they’re still 5-1 against the over total on the road. The Cowboys are 4-2 against the over total at home and 4-2 overall in their last 6 games. So we’ll take the over total here.
Best bet: Over 48.5 points ($1.91)
Tip:
Eagles HT/FT ($2.10)
With the NFC East in their sights, the Eagles can pretty much wrap up the division with a win on Monday afternoon. They’re in impressive form at the moment and we can’t see the Cowboys getting past them.
Atlanta Falcons at Seattle Seahawks
Date: Tuesday 12:30 pm. Venue: Seattle
Odds: Seahawks $1.64, Falcons $2.32
The Seahawks host the Falcons on Tuesday at Seattle. We'll provide a betting preview of the game below.
Form Guide:
The Falcons’ season is back on track after a 27-7 win over the Cowboys. They sit at 5-4 but they’re still 2 games behind the Panthers and Saints in the division. Which means this a crucial game over in Seattle for their playoff chances.
Seattle welcomed the break after a 22-16 win on Friday over the Cardinals. They have a 6-3 record and need to continue winning for a shot at the NFC West title. They’ve played in two straight 3 point games at home so we’re expecting a tight affair.
Head to Head Record:
The Falcons beat the Seahawks 36-20 on their way to the Super Bowl last season. They also met earlier last season and the Seahawks won 26-24 at home.
Point Spread:
In 3 of the last 5 meetings, the margin has been exactly 2 points. Which explains the 2.5 point line in the Seahawks favour, mainly because of home-field advantage. The Falcons have also struggled on the road recently with a 1-4 ATS record. Whereas the Seahawks are 11-2 at home. This is one of the toughest road trips in the NFL so we’d back the Seahawks to cover.
Best bet: Seahawks -2.5 ($1.80)
Total Points:
The over total points has a good trend in this matchup and we’re expecting points to flow. The over total is 4-1 when the Seahawks face the Falcons at home and 6-1 overall. The Falcons are 16-7 against the over total in their last 23 games. With the likes of Matt Ryan and Russell Wilson on show, we’re backing the total points to go over.
Best bet: Over 44.5 points ($1.87)
Tip:
Seahawks WIN ($1.64)
In the end, the Seahawks are $1.64 favourites to beat the Falcons. They have home field advantage and have a 3-1 record at home this season. Atlanta hasn't been great on the road recently and we can’t see them improving in Seattle.
