NFL Week 11 Sunday preview & betting picks | November 17, 2024

The 2024 NFL season rolls on this Sunday with 12 games across the day, headlined by the Chiefs taking on the Bills in Buffalo. Here are our best bets for the Week 11 slate.

Baltimore Ravens @ Pittsburgh Steelers

All but one Ravens game this season has gone over the total points line, with each of the last six clearing 50 points. Additionally, since quarterback Russell Wilson moved into the starting role, the Steelers have averaged over 30 points per game. Back this AFC heavyweight matchup to have over 50.5 total points at +122 with leading NFL betting sites.

Green Bay Packers @ Chicago Bears

In the midst of a breakout year, Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been incredibly consistent. He is fourth in the NFL for total rushing yards, and over the last two weeks he averages better than 115 yards per game. The Bears have struggled to defend the run game all season, and with the Packers expected to get on top early, expect Jacobs to have plenty of carries.

Cleveland Browns @ New Orleans Saints

Saints running back Alvin Kamara has been the center of everything in the New Orleans offense this season, leading the team in both rushing and receiving yards. Injuries to teammates have only increased his target share of late, and he has collected over 50 receiving yards in each of his last three outings. Kamara will be heavily involved once again, with his work in the checkdown game offering plenty of free yardage.

Atlanta Falcons @ Denver Broncos

Looking to bounce back from a disappointing loss to the Saints last Sunday, expect a statement performance from the Falcons. They head to Denver to face a Broncos side that, despite pushing the Chiefs last Sunday, has still lost two in a row. Although they are favorites with online bookmakers, Denver might not have the offensive firepower to match Atlanta, so there is some value in taking the underdog at the moneyline.

Kansas City Chiefs @ Buffalo Bills

After a slow start to the season, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has averaged over 70 yards per game in the last six weeks. His target share has gone through the roof in KC’s last three games, with 32 receptions from 40 targets. In a matchup between two powerful offenses, expect Kelce to continue receiving plenty of the ball.

Cincinnati Bengals @ Los Angeles Chargers

The Chargers are undoubtedly the best defensive team in the NFL this year, conceding just 13 points per game. While this might be their toughest test yet against the explosive Bengals offense, Jim Harbaugh’s system has yet to give up over 20 points in a game this season. With their run game chewing up plenty of time as well, back Los Angeles to continue their excellent defensive form.
