Dallas Cowboys (-10.5) vs. Carolina Panthers
The Dallas Cowboys are set to visit the Carolina Panthers in Week 11 as a 10.5-point road favorite. The Cowboys are coming off a monster victory in Week 10 over the New York Giants, and we wouldn't be surprised if they followed that up with another blowout victory against Carolina. This Dallas defense is going to present plenty of problems for rookie quarterback Bryce Young. The Panthers might be able to limit the Cowboys' offense to an extent, but the Cowboys still find a way to win this game by two touchdowns.
Los Angeles Chargers (-3) vs. Green Bay Packers
The Los Angeles Chargers are coming off a disappointing loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 10. Justin Herbert and the Chargers did find their offensive footing in that matchup, and there's reason to be bullish that continues in Week 11 against Green Bay. An early game away from Los Angeles could be seen as a red flag here for the Chargers, but we're not buying it. Keep an eye on the status of wide receiver Keenan Allen. His importance to the Chargers offense can't be understated. It's not hard to see a world where the Chargers win this game by five or more.
Las Vegas Raiders vs. Miami Dolphins (-12.5)
The Miami Dolphins can't be thrilled about the notion surrounding them that they can't win big games. You can't control your schedule, though, and the Dolphins are set to host the Las Vegas Raiders as 12.5-point favorites in Week 11. The Dolphins are coming off the bye and are slowly getting healthy. The Raiders have been playing some better football of late under Antonio Pierce, but this Miami offense presents an entirely different challenge. Miami wins by two touchdowns.
Seattle Seahawks (-1) vs. Los Angeles Rams
We've already seen the Los Angeles Rams blow out the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1 this season. These teams have gone on very different paths since that matchup, which has the Seahawks sitting at 6-3 and the Rams at 3-6. The Seahawks are sitting as a 1-point road favorite in this contest. Week 1 is never a game where we like to judge a team harshly. The Seahawks have a lot of more to play for in this contest, and we like for Pete Carroll's squad to find a way to win this game by a field goal.
New York Giants vs. Washington Commanders (-9.5)
The Washington Commanders suffered a difficult loss to the Seattle Seahawks by a field goal in Week 10. In order to stay alive in the wild-card picture in the NFC, this is a game the Commanders absolutely need to have. Sam Howell has been a really nice surprise at quarterback for the Commanders in Eric Bieniemy's offense. Washington did sell off some pieces on defense at the trade deadline, but New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito doesn't strike fear into anyone. Commanders by double-digits.
Dallas Cowboys (-10.5) vs. Carolina Panthers
The Dallas Cowboys are set to visit the Carolina Panthers in Week 11 as a 10.5-point road favorite. The Cowboys are coming off a monster victory in Week 10 over the New York Giants, and we wouldn't be surprised if they followed that up with another blowout victory against Carolina. This Dallas defense is going to present plenty of problems for rookie quarterback Bryce Young.
