The NFL week 11 features an exciting NFC East matchup in the nation's capital as the Dallas Cowboys visit the Washington Redskins.
Redskins vs. Cowboys
The week 11 NFL odds opened up with the Dallas Cowboys as a 7.5 point road favorite in this contest. After a stellar performance a week ago, 81% of the public jumped on the Cowboys and this line has been bet up to as high as nine points at several reputable online sportsbooks.
The Dallas Cowboys struggled to start the season, but by taking advantage of a soft spot in their schedule they are now on a decent winning streak. Thye recently demolished the Buffalo Bills at home in a game where the Cowboys were never in trouble. They have posted back-to-back victories and are riding some confidence into this game. Quarterback Tony Romo has had zero interceptions and has not been sacked over those two games and that is a recipe for success in the NFL.
However, two wins at home over mediocre teams has inflated this line, and the Redskins will be ready for Dallas this Sunday.
Rex Grossman is back at the helm and many of the Redskins players are very happy with the move and they like his poise in the huddle. The Cowboys prevailed in the first meeting between these two teams, but only by two points and that game was in Big D. Now with the Redskins in the midst of a losing streak and the Cowboys on a two game winning streak, the public is betting the Cowboys will win big, but be careful.
The NFL week 11 sports betting trends are in favor of the home team for this game. The Cowboys are 3-10-1 ATS in their last 14 games as a favorite, 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite of 3.5-10.0, and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games when playing a team with a losing home record.
The underdog is 22-6 ATS in their last 28 meetings and the Cowboys are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 meetings. The Redskins are 4-1 ATS in their last five against the NFC East.
This game has historically been close and the Redskins are the play in this contest. The line is too high and the Cowboys will never be able to cover this number.
