NFL Week 11 is almost in the books, pending Monday night’s matchup, but the opening odds for Week 12 are up on DraftKings Sportsbook and it’s time to give a looky-loo.
No games in foreign lands. USA! USA! USA!
There are six teams on bye: ATL, BUF, CIN, JAX, NO and NYJ.
On Thursday night, the Steelers travel to the Dawg Pound. Remember those videos of Jameis Winston licking his fingers after eating crab legs? Replace Winston with the Steelers’ defense.
The early Sunday slate consists of seven games. There are four team favored by at least a touchdown: DET -7.5 over IND, MIA -7.5 over NE, HOU -7.5 over TEN and WAS -9.5 over DAL There are no games within a field goal.
The late-afternoon slate consists of three games. Two of the games are within 1 point.
The night game should be a good one, as the spread is under 3, the Eagles have won six straight while the Rams have won four of five and the offense is starting to hum.
Monday Night Football has the Ravens traveling to Los Angeles to face the Chargers.
Here’s the full list of Week 12 odds on DraftKings Sportsbook. We will update it throughout the week.
Thursday Night Football, November 21
Odds on Monday, November 18
| Spread | Total | Moneyline | |
| PIT Steelers | -4 -105 | O 36 -110 | -192 |
| CLE Browns | +4 -115 | U 36 -110 | +160 |
The Browns have two wins on the season while the Steelers have two losses on the season. PIT has won five straight and three with Russell Wilson under center. The Steelers D just held the vaunted Ravens offense to 16 points. Those Terrible Towels will be used as bibs.
Sunday Early Games, November 24
Odds on Monday, November 18
| Spread | Total | Moneyline | |
| MIN Vikings | -3.5 -105 | O 39.5 -110 | -170 |
| CHI Bears | +3.5 -115 | U 39.5 -110 | +142 |
The Bears have lost four straight coming out of their bye. The Vikings lost their first two games out of their bye, but they bounced back with three straight wins. Minnesota blitzes at the second-highest rate in the league while Caleb Williams has the highest sack rate. 1+1=2.
Odds on Monday, November 18
| Spread | Total | Moneyline | |
| DET Lions | -7.5 -105 | O 50.5 -110 | -375 |
| IND Colts | +7.5 -115 | U 50.5 -110 | +295 |
Man, Detroit is so freaking good. Since losing to Tampa Bay in Week 2, the Lions have run off eight straight. It was only three seasons ago that they finished 3-13-1. The Lions are one of the most balanced teams in the league and body blow you to death. The Colts got back into the win column in Week 11, as Anthony Richardson showed off why he was the fourth overall pick in the 2023 draft. This is a serious test for him, but the total is a robust 50.5 so he is expected to do some things.
Odds on Monday, November 18
| Spread | Total | Moneyline | |
| NE Patriots | +7 -110 | O 46 -112 | +280 |
| MIA Dolphins | -7 -110 | U 46 -108 | -355 |
Miami is getting back into the groove, as Tua Tagovailoa has now started four games after missing four. The Dolphins lost the first two in his return to action, but have now won their last two and put up a season-high 34 points in Week 11. After losing six straight and having one of the most inept offenses in the league, the Patriots have split their last four games and there is now hope in Boston as Drake Maye has shown some things.
Odds on Monday, November 18
| Spread | Total | Moneyline | |
| TB Buccaneers | -5 -112 | O 41.5 -112 | -625 |
| NY Giants | +5 -108 | U 41.5 -108 | +455 |
Both teams are coming off their bye. Tampa Bay has lost four in a row while New York has lost five straight, but these are not the same. The Giants aren’t a good football team while the Bucs have been decimated by the injury gods.
Odds on Monday, November 18
| Spread | Total | Moneyline | |
| DAL Cowboys | +10 -110 | O 45 -110 | +390 |
| WAS Commanders | -10 -110 | U 45 -110 | -520 |
Washington has dropped their last two after winning seven of eight games. Jayden Daniels has been slowed down by a rib injury. In addition, defenses have film on him and have adjusted. It’s a good thing he faces a Cowboys team that is bursting at the seams. Cooper Rush is the quarterback and he threw for 45 yards in Week 10. The Cowboys also play on Monday night and could take a beating from the in-state Texans.
Odds on Monday, November 18
| Spread | Total | Moneyline | |
| KC Chiefs | -11 -110 | O 41.5 -108 | -625 |
| CAR Panthers | +11 +110 | U 41.5 -112 | +455 |
Kansas City finally lost in Week 11 after skirting mortality by the lace of a pigskin for 10 weeks. Carolina has won two in a row! I have a not-so-sneaky suspicion that three is not in the range of outcomes. The Chiefs may start to fly free as a kite without someone holding onto the string now, as they don’t have to take questions about undefeated season and blah blah blah. The Panthers should provide the perfect remedy to bounce back.
Odds on Monday, November 18
| Spread | Total | Moneyline | |
| TEN Titans | +7.5 -110 | O 41.5 -110 | +295 |
| HOU Texans | -7.5 -110 | U 41.5 -110 | -375 |
Houston plays on Monday night against the Cowboys, so their two-game losing streak will likely be no more. The Texans are getting healthy, which is a scary thing for the rest of the league. The Titans have two wins on the season and it’s Will Levis evaluation time. Is the second-year, turnover-prone quarterback the franchise?
Sunday Late Afternoon Games
Odds on Monday, November 18
| Spread | Total | Moneyline | |
| DEN Broncos | -5.5 -108 | O 41 -110 | -238 |
| LV Raiders | +5.5 -112 | U 41 -110 | +195 |
The Broncos are really good. Their defense is one of the best in the league and Bo Nix is blossoming before our eyes. Denver is coming off an impressive 38-6 thrashing of Atlanta. Things got so bad that Michael Penix made an appearance. The Raiders? Who are the top quarterbacks in the upcoming draft?
Odds on Monday, November 18
| Spread | Total | Moneyline | |
| SF 49ers | +1.5 -110 | O 48.5 -108 | +102 |
| GB Packers | -1.5 -110 | U 48.5 -112 | -122 |
The 49ers are 5-5. Lucky for them, two other teams in the NFC West have the exact same record while the division-leading Cardinals are only at 6-4. That said, the 49ers have not been consistent this season. They have flashed brilliance at times, but also mediocrity. Now they have to travel to Green Bay against a very talented Packers team, although a team that just eeked out a 20-19 win over Da Bears.
Odds on Monday, November 18
| Spread | Total | Moneyline | |
| ARI Cardinals | -1 -105 | O 47.5 -110 | -110 |
| SEA Seahawks | +1 -115 | U 47.5 -110 | -110 |
Arizona has won four straight and is coming off the bye week. Seattle just took care of business against San Francisco. Arizona leads the NFC West by one game. Get your popcorn ready.
Sunday Night Game
Odds on Monday, November 18
| Spread | Total | Moneyline | |
| PHI Eagles | -3 -110 | O 50 -112 | -155 |
| LA Rams | +3 -110 | U 50 -108 | +130 |
Pre-bye, Philadelphia split four games. Post-bye, Philadelphia has run off six straight. The defense has allowed at least 20 points only three times this season, with two of those pre-bye. The Rams are coming off a win in New England and were getting healthy, but Puka Nacua suffered an injury. The severity is unknown right now, but that’s a huge variable for this one.
Monday Night Game, November 18
Chargers vs. Ravens
Odds on Monday, November 18
| Spread | Total | Moneyline | |
| BAL Ravens | -3 -110 | O50 -112 | -155 |
| LA Chargers | +3 -110 | U50 -108 | +130 |
The Harbaugh Bowl. The Ravens have the advantage because John has been Baltimore since 2008, so the offense, system and culture are more entrenched. That said, Jim has already put him stamp on the Chargers. Both teams have seven wins on the season, are tough, have excellent trench play and play good defense, although the Ravens secondary has been getting gashed. Both teams lost to Pittsburgh and Kansas City this season, but the Chargers beat the Raiders while the Ravens could not.
