NFL Week 11 Expert Best Bets: Panthers, Texans Face Underwhelming Competition on the Road

Looking to put some money on Sunday's NFL games? Read on for our Week 11 best bets.

Carolina Panthers (-4) at Detroit Lions

Sun. 11/18, 1:00 p.m. ET

Pick: Carolina -4

Sometimes teams just don't show up. That would appear to be the best explanation—or lack thereof—for Carolina's performance last Thursday, when the Panthers got pounded 52-21 in Pittsburgh as a 3.5-point underdog. There's no excuse for a performance that bad, although one can at least see how playing an explosive offense on the road on four days rest isn't a situation that sets a team up for success.
