NFL WEEK 11 PREVIEW

- – Richard Morin

Eagles (8-1) at Colts (4-5-1) TV: 1 p.m. ET Sunday, CBS

Tipico Sportsbook line: Eagles by 6 1⁄2

QB Jalen Hurts and the Eagles hit the road and look to get back on the winning side of things after the “Monday Night Football” loss to the Commanders. The Colts picked up a win in Jeff Saturday’s coaching debut – at any level higher than high school – a turn of events that surprised many around the NFL. Can Indianapol­is follow up by pulling off the upset of the season against Hurts, WR A.J. Brown and WR DeVonta Smith?

Jets (6-3) at Patriots (5-4) TV: 1 p.m. ET Sunday, CBS

Tipico Sportsbook line: Patriots by 3

Old rivals come together for the second time this season when QB Zach Wilson and the Jets face Bill Belichick’s Patriots in a game with huge AFC East ramificati­ons. Second-year QB Mac Jones and New England took down New York in the first meeting between the teams, but the Jets enter one game ahead of the Patriots in the division standings.

Lions (3-6) at Giants (7-2) TV: 1 p.m. ET Sunday, Fox

Tipico Sportsbook line: Giants by 3

RB Saquon Barkley and the Giants will try to keep their impressive season going. Barkley, QB Daniel Jones and the offense has been performing consistent­ly and now face a leaky Lions defense. Detroit QB Jared Goff, RB D’Andre Swift and the rest of the offense will look to keep pace.

Commanders (5-5) at Texans (1-7-1) TV: 1 p.m. ET Sunday, Fox

Tipico Sportsbook line: Commanders by 3

The Commanders come in off a short week after the upset of the Eagles on “Monday Night Football.” Coach Ron Rivera announced Wednesday that QB Taylor Heinicke would start over Carson Wentz against the Texans, who have relied on rookie RB Dameon Pierce.

Bears (3-7) at Falcons (4-6)

TV: 1 p.m. ET Sunday, Fox

Tipico Sportsbook line: Falcons by 3 1⁄2

Dual threat Justin Fields is looking more like a legitimate top-tier quarterbac­k each week, and though the Bears will be the visitors, he’ll play in the friendly conditions of a domed stadium.

Browns (3-6) vs. Bills (6-3) TV: 1 p.m. ET Sunday, CBS

Tipico Sportsbook line: Bills by 7 1⁄2

The NFL moved the game to Detroit because of impending snowy weather. QB Josh Allen and the Bills will try to rebound after the loss to the Vikings. It’s been a mighty struggle for the Browns.

Rams (3-6) at Saints (3-7) TV: 1 p.m. ET Sunday, Fox

Tipico Sportsbook line: Saints by 3 1 ⁄2

The defending Super Bowl champion Rams have issues on both sides of the ball. The Saints have experience­d their fair share of strife, too, and will rely on RB Alvin Kamara.

Panthers (3-7) at Ravens (6-3)

TV: 1 p.m. ET Sunday, Fox

Tipico Sportsbook line: Ravens by 13

QB Lamar Jackson and the Ravens (6-3) come off their bye week and hope to get back TE Mark Andrews, who practiced Wednesday for the first time since Oct. 21. The Panthers, who are led by QB P.J. Walker, will be hunting for an upset.

Raiders (2-7) at Broncos (3-6) TV: 4:05 p.m. ET Sunday, Fox

Tipico Sportsbook line: Broncos by 3

Josh McDaniels’ Raiders limp into the matchup against the Broncos and QB Russell Wilson. The Raiders failed to take down the Colts in Jeff Saturday’s coaching debut. Can QB Derek Carr, RB Josh Jacobs and WR Davante Adams get momentum going?

Cowboys (6-3) at Vikings (8-1) TV: 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday, CBS

Tipico Sportsbook line: Cowboys by 2

Kirk Cousins and the Vikings return home on the heels of the thrilling overtime win against the Bills. Meanwhile, the Cowboys and QB Dak Prescott look to rebound after an overtime loss to the Packers. The Dallas defense will have to slow down Minnesota WR Justin Jefferson, who has been dominant in 2022.

Bengals (5-4) at Steelers (3-6) TV: 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday, CBS

Tipico Sportsbook line: Bengals by 4

Joe Burrow and the Bengals are fresh off a bye week and look to make up ground in the playoff picture. There’s a gaggle of 6-3 teams ahead of them in the AFC. Rookie QB Kenny Pickett, RB Najee Harris and the Steelers hope to find some magic at home.

Chiefs (7-2) at Chargers (5-4)

TV: 8:20 p.m. ET Sunday, NBC

Tipico Sportsbook line: Chiefs by 6

The Patrick Mahomes-led Chiefs (7-2) face fellow quarterbac­k Justin Herbert’s Chargers in a huge AFC West matchup with playoff implicatio­ns. The Chiefs picked up a home win over the Chargers in Week 2. Can a banged-up Chargers offense enact revenge? This game was flexed to the “Sunday Night Football spot.”

49ers (5-4) at Cardinals (4-6)

TV: 8:15 p.m. ET Monday, ESPN

Tipico Sportsbook line: 49ers by 8

The NFL heads south of the border when QB Jimmy Garoppolo and the 49ers take on WR DeAndre Hopkins’ Cardinals. The Cardinals likely wish they were on a bye week instead of a business trip to Mexico City given their mess of injuries, including ailments to QB Kyler Murray and TE Zach Ertz, among others. Garoppolo, RB Christian McCaffrey, WR Deebo Samuel, TE George Kittle will try to keep the San Francisco offense going in a pivotal NFC West matchup.
