The New England Patriots return from their Week 10 bye with a road trip to face the Indianapolis Colts. The Patriots opened as 2-point favorites, but the line has climbed to between 2.5 points and 3 points at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. The point total is set at 57.
New England is 7-2 straight up on the season. The Patriots are just 5-4 against the spread but 4-1 ATS in their last five games. Indianapolis is 6-3 SU this season but 7-2 ATS. New England has a strong history on the road in Indianapolis, going 16-2-1 in the team’s last 19 games at Lucas Oil Stadium. The Patriots have gone OVER in five consecutive games, and the Colts have gone OVER in nine of 11 games. The total has gone OVER in five of the last seven games between these teams.
Two Week 11 games already have double-digit spreads. Denver travels to St. Louis, and after opening as 8-point favorites, the Broncos have increased to as much as 10.5-point favorites over the Rams at some sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. Denver has been a double-digit road favorite 12 times in the last 27 years, but this will mark the second consecutive such matchup this season. The Broncos covered a 12-point spread in Oakland last week, marking their third straight cover of double digits on the road. Prior to that, Denver was 1-8 ATS in such situations.
San Diego is a double-digit favorite at home against Oakland. The Chargers opened as 8-point favorites, but the line against the Raiders has climbed as high as 11.5 points. San Diego is 3-8 ATS in its last 11 games against Oakland and 5-5 ATS in the last 10 home games as a double-digit favorite.
The two closest early lines feature Seattle as a 1-point favorite on the road against Kansas City, and Arizona as a 1-point favorite at home against Detroit. The Seahawks are 1-4 ATS in their last five games but 12-5 ATS in their last 17 road games. The Cardinals are 5-0 ATS in their last five games, but the big question is how Drew Stanton will perform in place of Carson Palmer, who is out for the season with a knee injury.
Week 11 will wrap up with Pittsburgh installed as a 5-point road favorite against Tennessee on “Monday Night Football.” The Steelers are 2-4 ATS in their last six against the Titans and 2-9 SU in its last 11 at Tennessee.
