The New York Giants will look for a fifth straight victory Sunday when they welcome the Chicago Bears as 7 1/2-point favorites at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com.

New York’s narrow 21-20 win over the Cincinnati Bengals as one-point home underdogs last week puts them atop the NFC wild-card race going into Sunday afternoon’s Bears vs. Giants betting matchup at MetLife Stadium.

The 6-3 Giants also have been a solid bet, going undefeated against the spread during their current win streak, covering twice as home chalk. The 2-7 Bears are winless in five road dates this season, tallying 17 or fewer points in four of those contests.

Chicago topped New York 27-21 in the teams’ last meeting three years ago and is 3-1 SU in four games at MetLife Stadium. However, the Bears have failed to cover in three straight against New York.

The NFC East-leading Dallas Cowboys aim for a ninth straight victory when they face the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday as seven-point betting favorites. The Cowboys also are unbeaten ATS this season and have covered in three dominant wins on home turf.

The AFC North-leading Ravens have won two straight overall but are winless SU and ATS in their past two road dates. Baltimore also is a meager 1-7 SU, 2-6 ATS, in its last eight games following consecutive wins.

The 7-2 Kansas City Chiefs will try to maintain a share of top spot in the AFC West with a fifth straight victory when they host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as 7 1/2-point chalk.

The Chiefs have posted nine straight wins at Arrowhead Stadium but have been a betting disappointment, failing to cover in consecutive games since last December while going 1-7 ATS in eight games at home.

The Buccaneers have won three of four on the road this season, both SU and ATS, scoring 31 points or more on three occasions, but are winless in four against Kansas City.

Undefeated in their past four games, the Miami Dolphins visit the Los Angeles Rams as 1 1/2-point favorites. Miami is 4-1 SU, 3-2 ATS, in its past five road games, while the Rams are winless in three at home and have failed to score more than 10 points in their past three overall.

In other NFL betting action in Week 11, the Washington Redskins sit as three-point favorites in their “Sunday Night Football” matchup with the fading Green Bay Packers, while the Oakland Raiders aim for a fourth straight outright victory when they battle the Houston Texans on “Monday Night Football” as six-point favorites in Mexico City.
