Joe Burrow and the Bengals head to Los Angeles for a primetime Sunday Night Football showdown with the Chargers in Week 11. Cincinnati enters in a must-win situation after their thrilling loss to the Baltimore Ravens last week. While the Chargers will aim to keep momentum rolling and add to their three-game winning streak. Los Angeles enters this one as slight 1.5-point favorites according to BetMGM.
Look for all the Bengals vs Chargers NFL Week 11 odds and my best bets:
Bengals vs Chargers Odds Week 11
Bengals vs Chargers Week 11 Picks
Under 47.5 (-110)
Los Angeles' top ranked defense puts it reputation on the line against Cincinnati's sparkling offense on Sunday Night Football. Jesse Minter's unit ranks in the top-two in EPA per play, success rate, and dropback EPA per play surrendered this season.
On the other side of the field, Lou Anarumo's Bengals defense has been a sieve for long stretches of the season. They sit 29th in rushing EPA allowed, and rushing success rate. If there's anything to know about Jim Harbaugh football, it's the fact that he loves to run the football down his opponents' throat. Expect to see a ton of JK Dobbins and Gus Edwards in this one.
The Chargers dominate rushing attack has led to Los Angeles controlling the clock, but scoring just 20.7 points per game. On top of that, Jesse Minter's defense concedes the least amount of points in the NFL at 13.1. Plus, the Chargers front seven has been hunting quarterbacks all year, as they rank fourth in sacks with 31.
While Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert have been playing elite football, its tough to look away from the under here. After all, the under has gone 7-2-1 on Sunday Night Football so far in 2024 and is now a wild 71-45-3 on Sunday Night's since 2019. Back the primetime unders betting trend to continue in Bengals vs Chargers.

JK Dobbins UNDER 61.5 rushing yards -114
Dobbins looked like the steal of the offseason through the first two weeks of the season. He rushed for over 100 yards in both contests and looked particularly explosive while finding the endzone in both contests.
Since then, the former Baltimore Raven has rushed for 404 yards on just 3.5 yards per carry. Additionally, Gus Edwards is not back in the fold to vulture carries, and Kimani Vidal is still in the fold. I'm fading Dobbins on Sunday Night Football.
