ICARO Media Group
In a bid to help NFL fans navigate the Week 11 matchups, renowned contest expert R.J. White has shared his coveted Vegas contest picks. With a track record of hitting over 56% of his contest plays in the last eight years, White's insights are highly anticipated by football enthusiasts.
Coming off a successful 4-1 week, White aims to continue his winning streak. The only blemish on his previous week's record was the Baltimore Ravens' disappointing collapse, which saw a deflected pick-six alter the course of the game. With a solid 31-19 record through ten weeks, White has showcased his knack for selecting winners, averaging over three correct picks out of five per week.
White currently stands at an impressive tied position for 245th out of over 5,200 participants in the highly regarded Circa Million Vegas contest. Riding this wave of success, he hopes to achieve another 3-2 week with his latest slate of picks, which prominently feature several teams favored by significant margins.
This week, the Dallas Cowboys emerge as 10.5-point road favorites, while the San Francisco 49ers enjoy an 11.5-point advantage at home. These teams, along with the Detroit Lions and Washington Commanders, face quick turnarounds to play on Thanksgiving. The Miami Dolphins, the last of the double-digit favorites, also contend with a short week as they participate in the league's first-ever Black Friday game. White ponders how teams will maintain focus against presumed pushover opponents amidst the holiday week hustle.
As SportsLine's top NFL against-the-spread expert for the past six years, White boasts an impressive track record of 535-450-30 against the spread, accumulating over 35 units in SportsLine picks since 2017. Furthermore, his success extends to his Vegas contest selections, where he posts an impressive 56.5% hit rate over the last eight seasons. This noteworthy achievement includes two finishes in the money, with an impressive 18th place out of 2,748 entries in 2017.
While White offers a variety of picks to SportsLine subscribers, one notable selection for Week 11 is the Green Bay Packers, who are dealing with a short week ahead. The Packers, at +3 against the Los Angeles Chargers, find themselves in an underdog position at home. Despite Jordan Love's two late interceptions in the previous week's game, the Packers have managed to keep matchups close throughout the season, even on the road.
White believes the Chargers are being overrated by the market and expects the Packers' defense to stifle their opponent's offense. Additionally, with the Chargers facing challenges due to injuries that have reduced their offense to a one-receiver-focused attack and concerns about Keenan Allen's shoulder injury, the Packers have an opportunity to secure a victory.
White concludes that for the line to make sense, the Chargers need to be an above-average team, or the Packers must be on the level of a struggling team like the Carolina Panthers. However, he argues that neither applies in this scenario, which strengthens his confidence in selecting the Packers as a best bet.
In addition to revealing his Packers pick, White shares his other Vegas contest selections and a large-format survivor pool play for Week 11. Football enthusiasts and bettors can access his full slate of picks to gain valuable insights on which teams to back in the upcoming week.
As fans eagerly await the unfolding of Week 11 matchups, R.J. White's expertise provides a valuable guide for making informed decisions in the exhilarating world of NFL betting.
