Total Thursdays: Pro Football Week 11 Odds, Trends for Totals

Bet NFL with William Hill, America’s #1 sportsbook.

After overs ruled in Weeks 8 and 9, unders ended up cashing in eight of the 14 NFL Week 10 games. Yet, overs still lead the way on the season, going 77-66-4 overall (53.8%).

Of the 13 NFL Week 11 totals up at William Hill right now (Lions vs. Panthers is off the board), just four of them are at 50 or above (30.8%). That is the lowest number of totals in the 50s on a Thursday since Week 2 (3 of 16 totals) and the lowest percentage since Week 3 (25% of totals).

“If you look at the ones under 50, it’s 48.5, 48. Back in the day, it’d be 43, 44,” said Nick Bogdanovich, Director of Trading for William Hill. “To me, the totals are still high. Back in the day, you’d see a 37 or 38, now you never see one in the thirties. The lowest total this week is Miami-Denver, 45. That used to be a high total in the NFL, now it’s the lowest one this week.”

Three NFL Week 11 totals have shifted by multiple points from their opening number: Eagles vs. Browns (45 to 47), Titans vs. Ravens (47 to 49.5) and Chiefs vs. Raiders (55 to 57).

“I don’t know whether I consider the Raiders an over team or under team,” Bogdanovich said. “I do know that this total went up because all their defensive players are on the COVID list and they figured that Kansas City will go through them like a hot knife through butter. The Raiders will have to be more aggressive against the Chiefs for sure. But hey, [Derek] Carr and them put 40 on them in Kansas City, so they’ll be confident.”

Chiefs vs. Raiders joins tonight’s showdown between the Cardinals and Seahawks for the highest Week 11 totals on the board at 57. In fact, 57 is also the highest that a total has closed for any game at William Hill this season, as Cowboys vs. Seahawks in Week 3 reached that number before kickoff.

Yet, neither of those overs lead in total number of tickets or total dollars wagered in Week 11. The overs for Packers vs. Colts (51.5) and Rams vs. Buccaneers (48.5) are each at 73% of the total number of tickets, while the over for Cowboys vs. Vikings (48) ranks first in total dollars wagered at 95%.

On the flip side, just one under has gotten the majority for both the total number of tickets and total dollars wagered: Eagles vs. Browns. Additionally, that under has drawn the largest NFL Week 11 total wager thus far at William Hill, as one Nevada bettor placed $3,000 on Eagles vs. Browns under 48 for a total potential payout of $5,727.25.

“With Cleveland, if there’s ever going to be an under team, it’s them,” Bogdanovich said. “They just want to pound [Nick] Chubb and [Kareem] Hunt. At this time of the year, they have terrible weather pretty much every game. The weather isn’t supposed to be great in Cleveland this Sunday, but this total has still gone up. I don’t understand the movement on that one.”
