Packers are Heavy Dogs at Pittsburgh

You know things are upside down in the NFL this season when the Green Bay Packers are set as 14-point underdogs and the line does not even move in their favor as we get closer to kickoff for Sunday night's road game against the 8-2 Pittsburgh Steelers. Green Bay started the season 4-1 with Aaron Rodgers leading the way as one of the top passers in league while his team established itself as the clear favorite to represent the NFC in this season's Super Bowl.

The Packers' fortunes took a major turn for the worst when their future Hall of Fame quarterback when down with a broken collarbone in a Week 6 loss to Minnesota. Since that point, they have gone 1-4 in their next five games with their chances of even making the playoffs in serious doubt when you consider how many NFC teams there are with better overall records heading into the stretch run of the regular season.

As part of my NFL coverage for SportsBettingStats.com, I took a closer look at Sunday night's inter-conference matchup between Green Bay and Pittsburgh to see what kind of value I could find in the Packers at such long odds.

NFL Week 11 Top Prop Bet Picks

One of the best ways to add both betting action and excitement to Sunday's NFL slate of games is to put some money on any number of team or player betting props that online sportsbooks such as BetAnySports.com release each week in conjunction with each of these games. This week, I have focused my attention on a pair of special team props for the Oakland Raiders and the Dallas Cowboys in games that should basically be considered 'must wins' for both of these teams as far as keeping their fading playoff aspirations alive.

The Raiders are the only team in the NFL that has failed to record an interception through their first nine games. They are playing host to Tom Brady and the 7-2 New England Patriots in Mexico City this Sunday afternoon as 7.5-point underdogs and the prop bet odds have been set for Oakland's chances to end this particular turnover drought.

Dallas is now a 4.5-point home underdog for Sunday night's showdown against the rival 8-1 Philadelphia Eagles. This will be the Cowboys second game without All Pro running back Ezekiel Elliott, who is in the process of serving out his six-game league suspension. In his absence last week against Atlanta on the road, quarterback Dak Prescott was sacked eight times after getting taken to the turf a total of 10 times in his first eight games this year. Dallas went on to lose that game 27-7 to fall to 5-4 on the year. The betting odds for Philadelphia's total sacks in this Sunday's game is another prop that offers some solid value in the posted numbers.
