Week 11 is here people which means another week of marquee matchups and hopefully some winning bets. Full disclosure much like my Washington Commanders we’re in a little bit of funk here at Bick’s Picks. I suppose we’re not outright losing but we’ve been stuck in neutral as we had yet another 2-2 week. Not even the return of CMC could get the Triducken back on track and don’t get me started about the Vikings not covering against the Jags. Thankfully we broke even because the Over hit in the Washington game. And the Cardinals finally made Dennis Green proud as the Jets are who we thought they were and they didn’t let them off the hook. Admittedly because of the TNF loss I really wanted this week of football to just go away but that’s not how this works and the picks must go on so let’s get into it.
Life’s Too Short to Bet the Under
Ravens @ Steelers (48)
I shouldn’t have to explain this one too much do I? With a record of 9-1 on the season Baltimore Overs have been one of the most reliable bets of the 2024 season. Add that with the fact the number is below 50 and on the other side Russ has the moon ball cooking? Don’t overthink it people, let’s ride this train till the wheels fall off.
Over 48 (-112)
Fade Dawgs
Chiefs (ML) @ Bills
Just like the Over I don’t have to explain this one much do I? The only thing more reliable in 2024 than Ravens’ Overs is the Chiefs somehow, some way, finding a way to win. Now add that with the fact we’re backing Mahomes as a Dawg, forget about it. I’m not even gonna pretend my pick goes deeper than that. When Mahomes is an underdog we ride with the Chiefs plain and simple.
Chiefs ML (+110)
Touchdown Triducken
Anytime TD Parlay: Josh Jacobs, Derrick Henry, Christian McCaffery
I know what you’re thinking. I thought you said you weren’t gonna do another Triducken? Do you like losing money? Can I bet these guys to not score? Frankly all good questions but in the end we’re back here picking TDs because I’m stubborn. Similar to last week, nothing fancy we’re taking short odds and trying to will the Triducken to a win. I figure CMC has to find pay dirt this week and then I’m riding with the two backs in the games I picked because if I expect scoring in those games not double down? Fade it, avoid it or dread it, that’s this week’s Triducken.
Anytime TD Triducken: Josh Jacobs, Derrick Henry, Christian McCaffery (+291)
Bick’s Stone Cold Lock of the Century of the Week
Packers (-6) @ Bears
Last week I picked two teams for the Lock and I suppose that’s my fault. Believe I got words to say about Darnold and the Vikings but I save that for another time. But similar to last week I’m picking a team to win against a team who’s starting quarterback is dead. Now I know what you’ll say but I thought Caleb Williams is still playing? And I’d respond by saying sure technically he’s still alive but have you watched how he’s played? That Jayden Hail Mary might’ve completely broken the Bears as they’ve looked absolutely abmissal since. Sure they fired their OC this week but I doubt that changes anything. Add that with the fact that LaFleur and Green Bay have won 10 straight against Chicago this had to be my Lock. Undoubtedly Love will throw a pick and make us worried for a minute but in the end we’ll be enjoying our cheese this Sunday.
Packers-6 (-115)
