NFL Week 11 bets: Your wish is our Commander

Keaton Mitchell delivered a long rush for us last night, but unfortunately, Mark Andrews got hurt on the first drive of the night to stall what was looking like a promising start for the Ravens TE. Fridays mean a big NBA night, and we have you covered with plenty of plays in Quick Picks. Up top, we're tuning in to a pair of NFL plays on Sunday. Enjoy your weekend, and let's cash some bets!

Two Sunday NFL looks

Terry is scary for Giants: McLaurin over 58.5 receiving yards (-115 DraftKings)

Did you happen to catch how the Giants defense fared last week? Dak Prescott casually put up 404 passing yards, with Brandin Cooks and CeeDee Lamb each going over 150 yards and Michael Gallup chipping in 70.

That's par for the course for this Giants defense, a secondary that has allowed the fourth-most yards per pass attempt this season. New York also allows the eighth-most receptions to WRs, which has us looking Terry McLaurin's way.

McLaurin leads Washington with 78 targets, and oh, by the way, this man loves facing New York. Scary Terry has 70+ yards in all eight career games against the Giants, averaging 92.5 receiving yards per game. I think we can manage at this 58.5 line.

Stroud + Kyler = Points: Arizona-Houston over 48 points (-110 DK)

This Arizona Cardinals vs. Houston Texans game just screams fun times. Kyler Murray looked pretty good in his season debut last week, leading Arizona to 25 points and a win. He and his top pass-catchers should have chances to move the ball against a Houston secondary that hasn't started crawling up there in yards allowed per pass attempt and explosive passes allowed.

On the other end is the darling of the NFL, C.J. Stroud. Stroud has turned this Houston passing attack into one of the NFL's best, throwing for 826 yards over his past two games. Those yards should continue against a so-so Arizona secondary, and considering Devin Singletary just went for 150+ on the ground, the Texans are proving they can beat teams however they need to.

Give us the points in what has the makings of a shootout.

In the news ...

'TNF' marred by injuries, Ravens win — Mark Andrews went down with an ugly ankle injury in the first quarter, and Joe Burrow was forced out in the second quarter, quelling the excitement around this game. In the end, it was Baltimore grabbing the win 34-20. The Ravens are 8-3 and +900 to win the Super Bowl. For the Bengals, the loss drops them to 5-5 and further out of the wild-card picture. If Burrow's injury is serious, that could be curtains for Cincy's 2023 season.

No. 5 Washington vs. No. 11 Oregon State headlines Week 12 in college football — There aren't many games between two ranked teams, and the biggest is a Pac-12 matchup between undefeated Washington and No. 11 Oregon State. While the Beavers have been very strong on defense, Michael Penix Jr. is one of the Heisman favorites for a reason. Grab Washington +1.5 as underdogs here to keep their national champion hopes alive.

Ronald Acuna Jr. and Shohei Ohtani win 2023 MVPs — Similar to many of the other individual awards for MLB this season, these weren't much of a surprise, but it is finally official. Atlanta's Ronald Acuna Jr. won the NL MVP with his historic 40+ HR, 70+ stolen base season, and Los Angeles's Shohei Ohtani took the AL MVP with his dominance both at the plate and on the mound. Acuna's Braves are the +700 favorites to win the World Series, tied with the Dodgers, who many presume Ohtani will land in free agency this offseason.
