‘Cover City’: NFL Week 11 Picks, Preview, Prop Bets With Christian Pina

Sports Handle is pleased to present Cover City: A Pro Football Betting Podcast, hosted by Eric Rosenthal (@ericcports). Rosenthal is a professional sports bettor who focuses on NFL and college football. He’s wagered more than $25 million in the last nine years, getting banned from many sportsbooks along the way.

There’s six teams on a bye and it’s not an easy card this week. Sometimes, less is more. The defending Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles are 9-point underdogs on the road at New Orleans and the line may grow. Eric makes the case for Tennessee Titans against the Indianapolis Colts, while Christian calls out all the fraudulent teams. And of course, the guys spend some time on the Chiefs-Rams Monday Night Football tilt which is expected to be a fireworks show with an NFL record 63-point total.

Cover City is hosted by Eric Rosenthal (@ericcports), a professional sports bettor who focuses on NFL and college football. He’s wagered more than $25 million in the last nine years, getting banned from many sportsbooks along the way.

We’re over the halfway mark.  Show regular and professional sports handicapper Christian Pina (@ChristianPina)  joins Rosenthal for a storyline-rich week, including a GOAT QB showdown, the L.A. Rams streaking undefeated into New Orleans, the return of FitzMagic, as well as possibly the worst QB ever, Nathan Peterman. Listen below for Week 9’s best teaser and prop opportunities and don’t miss Rosenthal’s SuperContest picks.

Time codes for the episode follow below. Listen and subscribe on Spotify here.

2:30 — Week 8 recap: the return of the pros.

4:19 — Detroit Lions +4.5 at Minnesota Vikings  — The Vikings are normally among the best teams at home, but have struggled this year. Still, Minnesota or pass.

6:19 — Kansas City Chiefs -8.5 at Cleveland Browns — If you want peace of mind, take the teaser.

9:39 — Pittsburgh Steelers +3 at Baltimore Ravens — While the Ravens break Christian’s (gambling) heart again? Try to middle this game for the best value.

12:23 — Tampa Bay Buccaneers +6.5 at Carolina Panthers  — Don’t get caught up in the FitzMagic rollercoaster. Panthers TE Greg Olsen in the prop market is best bet for this game.

16:14 — N.Y Jets +3 at Miami Dolphins — No one cares about this game expect the betting market. If you must torture yourself, take the points.

17:10 — Atlanta Falcons +1.5 at Washington Redskins — A must win for a desperate Atlanta, but will Julio Jones ever catch a touchdown?  Alex Smith in the prop market is a good way to hedge your bets, too.

19:15 — All about the PropSwap.com market. Right now, PropSwap is offering Cover City listeners 10% off their first purchase or sale. Just go to PropSwap.com/Handle to get 10% off.

31:19 — Houston Texans  +1 and Denver Broncos — WR Demaryius Thomas was traded from the Broncos to the Texans. How might that impact how Houston approaches the game?

35:34 — L.A. Chargers +1.5 at Seattle Seahawks — Rosenthal is honoring his pledge to stay away from Philip Rivers. Christian is biased since he holds a Seattle game total over ticket, but thinks there could be some potential on the first half under.

37:50 — L.A. Rams +1.5 at New Orleans Saints — Will the Rams remain undefeated? Would a loss do them good?

42:10 — Green Bay Packers +5.5 at New England Patriots — Rosenthal and Christian’s teams finally go head-to-head this week in a GOAT showdown.

47:37 — Tennessee Titans +6.5 at Dallas Cowboys — This game is a long play for Christian, and has potential with first half or full game under.

49:24 — SuperContest picks by Pina.

50:39 — SuperContest picks by Rosenthal.

44:09 — New England Patriots -14 at Buffalo Bills — Check out the first quarter line and first half line. If you like the Pats, take them now. Buffalo is not going to win.

48:55 — SuperContest picks!

Time codes for the episode follow below. Listen and subscribe on Spotify here.

2:49: Miami Dolphins +7 at New England Patriots: History says Patriots crush after two straight losses but… have the real 2018 Patriots already stood up?

16:01: Buffalo Bills +9.5/10 at Green Bay Packers: Coming off an outright win in Minnesota as a 16.5-point dog. Lookahead line here was Packers -14.5. Mixed opinions from Eric and Lou.

23:16: Detroit Lions +3 at Dallas Cowboys: A couple middling teams separated pretty reasonably separated by a field goal. Detroit off a big win.

24:33: Tampa Bay Bucs +3 at Chicago Bears: Potential mismatch in the trenches.

28:45: Cleveland Browns +2.5/3 at Oakland Raiders: Some recency bias in favor of the Browns? Oakland will be preparing for Baker Mayfield.

33:00: Houston Texans +1 at Indianapolis Colts: Do the Texans finally get off the schneid? The Colts are pretty well dinged up in a desperation situation for Houston.

37:39: New York Jets +7.5 at Jacksonville Jaguars: The Jets are embarking on a pretty difficult stretch after the Jaguars just dropped an egg.

39:11: San Francisco 49ers +10.5 at Los Angeles Chargers: Here comes “Checkdown Charlie” Beathard . Another pass.

40:35: New Orleans Saints -3 at New York Giants: Saints playing outdoors for the first time this year and Flowers has been planted on the bench. Can you hear some barking?

43:15: Baltimore Ravens +3 at Pittsburgh Steelers: As always, a three-point spread between Steelers and Ravens. But how about that total of  51 that’s moved from 48.5 to 51?

44:35: Kansas City Chiefs -4.5 at Denver Broncos: Taking the points at Mile High, at the right time.
