3 Best Bets for Week 11 in NFC North
1. Packers Look to Tame Bears Yet Again
Here is a bit of unsolicited advice to teams using the No. 1 pick to select a franchise quarterback in the future, find people who can keep their cash cow upright during games.
Caleb Williams was under constant duress against the New England Patriots in Week 10 and now the embattled Bears offensive line get to meet up with a rested Green Bay Packers team.
Bears last 8 games with healthy Justin Fields:
• 5-3 record
• 24.5 points per gameBears first 9 games with Caleb Williams:
• 4-5 record
• 19.4 points per gameJustin Fields was NOT the problem.

Green Bay has managed just two quarterback sacks in its last two games but if the Patriots can get to Williams nine times, the Packers should be able to add to their sack total.
When looking at the Packers vs Bears betting trends, Green Bay has not only won outright in each of the last 10 meetings with Chicago but has also covered in each of those games. Who are we to go against those numbers?
Keep an eye on the NFL injury report to check on the status of Green Bay defensive backs Jaire Alexander and Evan Williams and Chicago offensive lineman Teven Jenkins.
Bet on the Green Bay Packers -6½
2. Bet Jaguars vs Lions to Go Over
Don’t let the Jacksonville Jaguars’ near upset of NFC North contender Minnesota provide hope that the Jaguars are turning the corner. Minnesota outgained Jacksonville 402-143 in the game. Minnesota was in the red zone when quarterback Sam Darnold threw two of his three interceptions.
After scoring at least 30 points in the previous four games, Detroit managed just 24 and 26 in the last two matchups. Look for the Lions to get going offensively against a dreadful Jacksonville squad.

The best options in the NFL picks could be for the Jaguars vs Lions game to land over 47 points in Week 11.

3. Vikings to Cover As Road Favorite
About the only reason that the Minnesota Vikings won in Week 10 is that Jacksonville had Mac Jones as the starting quarterback. It is another favorable matchup for the Minnesota defense as Tennessee’s Levis threw for just 175 yards in a loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
It is clear when watching Tennessee games that the coaching staff wants its second-year QB not to lose games rather than trying to win them. Darnold had three interceptions in Week 10 but with tight end T.J. Hockenson catching eight passes in his second game of the season, look for the Minnesota passing offense to bounce back with Hockenson’s return to free up space for the wide receivers.
Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison combined to catch seven of 14 targets for just 71 yards in the win over Jacksonville. Those considering player props and parlays might want to look in the direction of Jefferson as he is likely to top his Week 10 total of 48 receiving yards.
While taking the game to land over 39½ points is tempting, we prefer the Vikings to cover at -6½ – especially when you look at the Vikings vs Jaguars betting trends and see that Minnesota has won 11 of its last 12 games as a road favorite.
