It’s another edition of Gaming Today’s 2023 Bookies Battle. We’re pressing on with Week 11 picks and will look at the updated leaderboards for the third quarter and overall season.
NFL Week 11 starts with a loss for the majority of our bookies. Bengals +3.5 did not hit, with the Ravens winning comfortably at home. There were a handful of notable injuries in the game, including Ravens tight end Mark Andrews leaving early and Bengals QB Joe Burrow exiting with a sprained wrist injury.
Top Consensus Picks for NFL Week 11
- Pittsburgh Steelers – 81% of picks | Contest spread: PIT +4 at CLE
- Los Angeles Chargers – 78% of picks | Contest spread: LAC -3 at GB
- Cincinnati Bengals – 73% of picks | Contest spread: CIN +3.5 at BAL
- Miami Dolphins – 68% of picks | Contest spread: MIA -11.5 vs LV
- San Francisco 49ers – 62% of picks | Contest spread: SF -10.5 vs TB
Only five picks are beyond the 60% threshold of consensus picks and are listed above. Pittsburgh sees the highest volume of picks from our bookies to cover the spread against Cleveland. Steelers +4 looks like fairly good value, with the spread falling close to a pick’em at sportsbooks.
Pittsburgh was the top consensus favorite just a week ago, with 78% of the picks. They didn’t disappoint, but it was a close field-goal cover, only beating Green Bay by a 23-19 score. It came down to the wire with the Packers failing to get a touchdown close to the end zone on their final drive.
Second on the list is the Chargers -3 in Green Bay. Los Angeles has had a wild season so far, which is generally par for the course. But they have taken down most of the weaker opponents on the schedule.
Wrapping up the top consensus picks are Dolphins -11.5 and 49ers -10.5, two of the larger spreads on the slate for the entire week. Both favorites are at home. San Francisco has restored order with a blowout win last week. Miami is 4-0 straight up and against the spread in their previous four home games.
