Opening NFL Week 11 betting lines, odds and spreads

The opening NFL week of the season is approaching. Jared Smith and Zachary Lucas offer insights into the lines and early betting takeaways for this week's games.

The Chiefs won the first game 27-24 in Week 2. Justin Herbert suffered a rib injury in that game. Since Herbert burst onto the scene 3 seasons ago he's 4-1 ATS against the Chiefs. The Chargers were 4 points underdogs on the road in this spot earlier this season. Zach sees the line going towards the Chargers off 7.

The Giants are the underdogs against the Lions. The Giants covered against Texans despite Saquon Barkley's 152 rushing yards on 35 carries. Jared Goff graded out as a top 5 quarterback in the efficiency rankings on Sunday. Zach thinks the Giants continue to be overrated. If the game touches 4, Zach would jump on Detroit.

The Cowboys blew a two-score lead on the road against Aaron Rodgers in overtime. The Vikings won in Buffalo, their 7th straight game by a single score. Oddsmakers made the Cowboys a favorite last week. Zach thinks the Vikings are a trendy underdog. He will bet on Dallas. The market predicts the team will be 8-1.
