Week 11 of the 2025 NFL season will host eight divisional matchups, including an NFC West showdown between the Los Angeles Rams (7-2) and Seattle Seahawks (7-2) for first place in the division.

Teams on a bye this week: Indianapolis Colts (8-2), New Orleans Saints (2-8).

Let's not waste any more time and get into the previews!

And be sure to check out who our experts picked this week.

Washington Commanders vs. Miami Dolphins (-2.5)

The Commanders and Dolphins will face off in Madrid, Spain, for the final international game of the NFL season.

Both teams are sitting at 3-7 on the year, with almost all hope lost of any chance at a playoff spot.

Miami are coming off a big divisional upset over the Buffalo Bills, while the Commanders are coming off a beatdown by the Detroit Lions and have now lost five straight.

Washington QB Marcus Mariota will get the start as Jayden Daniels continues to recover from his dislocated elbow. 

The over-under is set at 46.5.

Carolina Panthers @ Atlanta Falcons (-4)

The Falcons will look to end their four-game losing streak with a win over their NFC South division rivals.

In the first matchup, Carolina shut out the Falcons 30-0 - their worst loss of the season. 

The 5-5 Panthers will try to keep their playoff hopes alive in a very tough NFC as they haven't lost back-to-back games since the first two weeks of the season. 

The over-under is set at 41.5.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Buffalo Bills (-6)

In the best inter-conference matchup of Week 11, both teams at 6-3 will look to earn their seventh win of the year. 

Tampa Bay has yet to lose back-to-back games this season. It's a perfect time for Buffalo to hand them their first as they've lost three of their last five games.

The Bucs are 2-3 against teams with a winning record this season, but Buffalo have only faced two (Patriots, Chiefs), going 1-1 in those games.

The over-under is set at 46.5

Houston Texans (-5.5) @ Tennessee Titans

The first time both of these AFC South teams faced off this season, Houston shut out the Titans 26-0. 

Unfortunately for the Titans, their league-worst 32nd-ranked offence will be up against the No. 1 defence.

Tennessee has only put up over 300 yards twice this season, one of them being in their lone win against the Arizona Cardinals.

The over-under is set at 37.5.

Chicago Bears @ Minnesota Vikings (-2.5)

After losing their first two games of the season, one of which came against the Vikings in Week 1 (27-24), Chicago has won six of their last seven games, including back-to-back game-winning drives led by QB Caleb Williams.

The Bears could claim No. 1 in the NFC North should the Detroit Lions lose this week and fall to 6-4. 

Should the Bears win, it'll be just their third 7-3 start to a season in franchise history - in 1940 when they won the championship after finishing 8-4 and in 2018 when they finished the year 12-4, but lost in the Wild Card. 

As for Minnesota, they've lost three of their last four and are coming off their third of the season in which they've scored less than 20 points. 

The over-under is set at 48.5.

Green Bay Packers (-7) @ New York Giants

Green Bay has lost back-to-back and New York has lost four straight - someone's skid is going to break this week. 

This will be the Giants' first game after firing their late head coach Brian Daboll, who started the past three seasons with a 2-8 record.

In all their losses this year, the Packers have scored 16 points or fewer. They're coming off two straight losses where they scored 16 and 10, respectively.

The over-under is set at 42.5.

Cincinnati Bengals @ Pittsburgh Steelers (-5.5)

In an AFC North rematch that saw both teams put up what could be argued as the game of the year a few weeks ago will prove to be of utmost importance for the Steelers if they want to hold on to first place in the division. 

Cinci is coming off back-to-back losses, which easily could've been wins. And the Steelers are looking to get their No. 29 offence going against the league's worst defence.

Pittsburgh has only put up more than 30 points twice this season - Week 1 against the Jets (34) and against the Bengals (31) - both games in which they gave up more yards.

But three of the Steelers' five wins this season have come against teams with a top-15 defence, while Cinci's two of three wins came against teams with winning records. 

The over-under is set at 48.5.

Los Angeles Chargers (-3) @ Jacksonville Jaguars

Chargers are rolling right now as they've won three straight and four of their last five - their sole loss coming to the AFC's No. 1 seed Indianapolis Colts.

They've put up at least 25 points in their past three games, all while holding their opponents to 10, 20, and 10 points, respectively. 

Jacksonville is on a downturn, dropping three of their last four games, including a 30-29 loss to a CJ Stroud-less Texans team. 

Their silver lining is that the 59 points they've scored in the past two games is more than any other two-game run they've had this season. 

The over-under is set at 43.5.

Seattle Seahawks @ Los Angeles Rams (-3.5)

In what is the game of the week, the Rams and Seahawks will battle it out for sole possession of first place in the NFC West. 

Both teams are currently riding four-game win streaks. Both teams have MVP-candidate quarterbacks. And both teams lost to the San Francisco 49ers, a team with the No. 1 passing offence in the league

The reason why that's important is that the Rams currently have the No. 2 passing offence in the NFL - giving Los Angeles an advantage. 

However, Seattle is the only team in the NFC, and one of two (Patriots) in the NFL, to be undefeated on the road (4-0) this season - where they've outscored their opponents 122-63, never letting opposing offences score more than 20 points.

The over-under is set at 48.5.

San Francisco 49ers (-3.5) @ Arizona Cardinals

In the other NFC West matchup, the 49ers will also be looking to fall just one game short of the division if they pull out a win against the Cardinals.

They beat Arizona 16-15 earlier in the season. But since then, the Cardinals have yet to score below 20 points in a game. 

Since Jacoby Brissett became the starter in Arizona over Kyler Murray, the Cardinals' offence has put up 330 or more yards the past four games - something they only did once in five games with Murray at QB.

Both teams are coming off losses to fellow NFC West rivals, so back-to-back could be crucial for the morale of either team, especially Arizona.

The over-under is set at 48.5.

Baltimore Ravens (-7.5) @ Cleveland Browns

Nothing like another AFC North showdown between two teams and fanbases who can't stand each other. 

Baltimore got the better of Cleveland earlier in the year with a 41-17 before losing their next four. 

The Browns still boast a top-five defence this season, but the Ravens are on a roll right now, having won three straight and outscoring their opponents 85-41. 

Their defence, which was looking historically awful the first six weeks of the season, have now held opposing offences below 20 points in the past three games and have forced a total of seven turnovers, three in each of the past two games. 

But if anyone knows AFC North football, they know this game won't come easy for the Ravens.

The over-under is set at 37.5.

Kansas City Chiefs @ Denver Broncos (-4.5)

In yet another fantastic divisional matchup, the Broncos will look to extend their winning streak to nine games. They are 5-0 at home this season, while Kansas City is 2-2 on the road. 

Denver just lost the NFL's No. 5 leading rusher in J.K. Dobbins for the season, leaving RJ Harvey to step up against a 12th-ranked Chiefs run defence. 

The Broncos have the No. 1 pass rush in all of football, recording a league-leading 46 sacks - no other team has more than 35. 

Kansas City is looking to avoid back-to-back losses since the first two weeks of the season. They're 1-3 on the road this season and a loss would put them drastically behind the Broncos for a possible AFC West crown.

The over-under is set at 44.5.

Detroit Lions @ Philadelphia Eagles (-2.5)

Philly has won three straight and are now basically playing for home-field advantage in the playoffs as the rest of the NFC East continues to crumble. 

As for Detroit, two of their three losses were on the road. They lost to the Chiefs in Kansas City early, a team Philly managed to beat in the same conditions.

However, they still boast the No. 6 offence and No. 7 defence this season and have yet to lose to an NFC opponent outside their division. 

The over-under is set at 46.5.

Dallas Cowboys (-3.5) @ Las Vegas Raiders

Dallas has lost back-to-back games. Vegas has lost three straight. The Cowboys are 1-4 on the road. The Raiders are 2-7 on the season. 

This is either going to be a shockingly great game or one of the worst of the week - no in between. 

Both the Raiders offence and Cowboys defence rank 29th this season. And with Dallas' No. 4 scoring offence, there's no doubt points will be put up this week. 

However, the Raiders have only scored 62 points in the past five games - an atrocious 12.4 points per game within that span. 

The over-under is set at 49.5.
