    NFL odds, lines, picks, spreads, bets, predictions for Week 11, 2023: Model backing Panthers, Browns

    After just two divisional games last week, the Week 11 NFL schedule is loaded with heated rivalries. Seven of the 14 games will see familiar foes go head-to-head, including Rams vs. Seahawks. Seattle is a one-point road favorite, per the Week 11 NFL odds, despite L.A. outright winning as road underdogs when these teams met in Week 1. Both of these teams have identical against-the-spreads records (4-4-1) in 2023 which will only add difficulty to making Week 11 NFL bets for this contest.

    The only other matchup this week featuring teams with the same ATS records is Chargers vs. Packers, with both 4-5 against the spread. When you can’t use overall cover percentage as a tool to help decipher the Week 11 NFL spreads, then what else should you consult to come out with a profit on your NFL predictions? All of the Week 11 NFL lines are listed below, and SportsLine’s advanced computer model has all the NFL betting advice and NFL predictions you need to make the best Week 11 NFL picks now.

    The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up well over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 11 of the 2023 NFL season on an incredible 174-125 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season. It is also on a 28-17 roll on top-rated NFL picks since Week 7 of last season.

    The model also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past six years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 94% of CBS Sports Football Pick’em players four times during that span. Anyone who has followed it is way up.

    Now, it has turned its attention to the latest Week 11 NFL odds and locked in picks for every NFL matchup. Head here to see every pick.

  • Deleted scene from ‘Rudy’ just released

    Deleted scene from ‘Rudy’ just released

    This fall marks 30 years since the movie “Rudy” hit theaters and a nation learned of a pesky try-hard kid from Joliet, Ill. who worked to walk-on to the Notre Dame football team.

    I loved the movie when my parents took me and my sister to see it that fall and still love it today. It’s not perfect, in fact there are some things from Rudy’s real story that I find even more impressive than the film.

    However, it’s a classic and will always be way up on the list of best sports and football movies of all-time.

    Now, 30 years later, we’re getting a bonus scene of the film. Check out below as Rudy (played by Sean Astin) and his dad (the late Ned Beatty) explain what makes Notre Dame football so special.

    Those 97 seconds does a tremendous job explaining what much of Notre Dame fandom is all about. For many of us that fandom started generations ago and has been passed down.

    I couldn’t tell you the first Notre Dame football game I watched as a kid but I can tell you that by the time I was six and Rick Mirer, Jerome Bettis, and Reggie Brooks were ripping apart defenses in 1992, I was already fully obsessed.

    And I can look back and be fairly certain that more than a small part was because of having a grandfather that spoke of Notre Dame football very similarly to the way Beatty does in that deleted scene.

    RUSSELL WILSON AND THE DENVER BRONCOS

    The “old” Russell Wilson — the something-out-of-nothing whirling dervish that the Broncos hoped they were getting when they acquired him — will never fully return. But when that Wilson reappears here or there, he’s still special. Russ threw a pair of touchdown passes and led a game-winning drive to set up Wil Lutz‘s 36-yard field goal as time expired, leading the Broncos to an absolutely wild 24-22 win over the Bills.

    Wilson’s first touchdown was a play of the year candidate grab by Courtland Sutton, who somehow tapped both feet in. Wilson’s second was also excellent as he somehow got the ball to Javonte Williams through contact.Wilson made several big plays on the game-winning drive, none bigger than one that won’t show up in his…..

  • Stephen A. Smith says Aggies should hire Deion Sanders, bring Prime Time to Texas A&M

    Stephen A. Smith says Aggies should hire Deion Sanders, bring Prime Time to Texas A&M

    Should Deion Sanders jump the Colorado ship and take Prime Time to the Lone Star State?

    Stephen A. Smith thinks Sanders, in just his first season with the Buffaloes, should take the head coaching job at Texas A&M. The Aggies athletic department fired Jimbo Fisher on Sunday, giving him an historic buyout of $77 million after going 5-7 last year and 6-4 so far this season.

    “Deion Sanders in the SEC with that vault that they have available to them, with them hogs that he could recruit, ’cause he doesn’t have them at Colorado and he ain’t gonna get ’em,” Smith said Monday on ESPN’s “Get Up” morning show. “… I don’t think they’ll do it, but Texas A&M, Prime Time Deion Sanders in the SEC, that needs to happen.”

    Sanders is 4-6 with two more games left in his first season at the helm of the Buffaloes. The team would need to win both to become bowl eligible.

    Colorado was ranked as high as No. 19 in the US LBM Coaches Poll after winning their first three games, including the season opener on the road against College Football Playoff runner-up TCU. Sanders joined the program in December after spending three seasons at Jackson State where he led the Tigers to back-to-back conference championships.

    On Saturday, Sanders apologized to the Colorado fan base after losing 34-31 to Arizona in their home finale. The defeat extended their losing streak to four games.

    A day after the loss, five-star Class of 2025 recruit Winston Watkins Jr. rescinded his verbal commitment from the Buffaloes, saying, “I have a lot of schools I want to make sure I’m still good with them because I don’t know if Prime will still be there when I get there.”

    USA TODAY Sports’ Paul Myerberg suggested Oregon’s Dan Lanning and Florida State’s Mike Norvell as possible candidates for the Texas A&M head coaching position.

  • How is Robert Kraft feeling while watching Mac Jones’ downfall?

    How is Robert Kraft feeling while watching Mac Jones’ downfall?

    How is Robert Kraft feeling while watching Mac Jones’ downfall? originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston

    Robert Kraft didn’t know how right he’d be when he spoke to NFL Media’s Rich Eisen before Sunday’s game in Frankfurt, his first public comments about the Patriots since their nightmarish 2023 season began.

    “I hope today is a chance to reset,” Kraft said. “and make this a much better year.”

    Call him one-for-two.

    His team’s 10-6 loss to the Colts in Germany felt like the end of something, meaning there must be a refresh of sorts on the horizon.

    Another one.

    It’s not exactly where the Kraft family would like to be after head coach Bill Belichick already made it very clear he wanted his team to “start over again” after a blowout loss to the Cowboys last month. It’s certainly not the desired result about three years after Belichick indicated 2020 was a year for the Patriots to reset its finances as they embarked on a post-Tom Brady rebuild.

    Now, almost a full presidential term into this era of Patriots football, they’re in a worse position than when they started.

    At 2-8, Kraft’s team is in last place in the AFC, and their odds of landing the No. 1 overall pick (6.4 percent) are more than 21 times greater than their odds of landing a postseason berth (0.3), per Sumer Sports. They have the second-worst offense in the league (14.1 points per game), and after Sunday’s dud, it looks like they’re ready to move on from starting quarterback Mac Jones and the first-round investment they made in him less than three years ago.

    Kraft met with Patriots players before the game this week to tell them how “critical” it was. Sunday meant more to him. He cares about the game’s growth internationally. He cares about his team’s brand stateside and overseas. He wanted to give an audience heavy with Patriots fans something to cheer for. He wanted to provide an exciting product. The fans got neither.

    Instead, the Patriots scored six points against an Indianapolis defense that ranked in the…

  • College football odds, lines, spreads for Week 12: Georgia, Texas open as comfortable road favorites

    College football odds, lines, spreads for Week 12: Georgia, Texas open as comfortable road favorites

    USATSI

    There hasn’t been a lot of drama this college football season when it comes to the teams at the top of the rankings. None of the top eight teams from the initial College Football Playoff Rankings have lost, and the top-10 teams that have fallen all lost to teams ranked ahead of them.

    But perhaps this is the weekend when chaos makes itself known. An early look at the odds for Week 12 show a lot of large spreads, but there’s also a prevalence of road favorites. Strange things can happen when favorites hit the road late in the year, particularly a week ahead of rivalry week.

    Here’s an early look at Week 12’s biggest games.

    Odds via SportsLine consensus

    The best games

    Georgia (-10) at Tennessee: After spending the entire season untested, Georgia faces a third straight ranked opponent, but you know what? We’re still waiting for the test. The Bulldogs disposed of Missouri and Ole Miss pretty easily, and now it’s Tennessee’s turn. Can the Volunteers pick themselves up off the mat after getting beat up by the same Mizzou squad that lost to Georgia?

    Utah (-1) at Arizona: Arizona avoided a road upset at the hands of Colorado in Week 11 and returns to a familiar position: The home underdog. The Utes managed to keep things close against Washington in Seattle, but their offense disappeared in the second half of the game and will have to play at a higher level to avoid a second consecutive loss here.

    Washington (-1) at Oregon State: Some teams have only recently been tested, but it feels like Washington gets tested…
