NFL Week 11 betting nuggets: Minnesota's house of unders

NFL, null

Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers put their nine-game cover streak on the line this week in Minnesota. The Packers hope to be the third team in the Super Bowl era (since 1966) to cover ten straight games, joining the 1992 San Diego Chargers and the 1985 New England Patriots.

The Packers are 9-1 ATS on the season, a half-game ahead of the Dallas Cowboys for the best ATS record in the NFL. Dallas looks to improve to 3-0 ATS as an underdog as it visits Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Mahomes has never been less than a three-point favorite at home in his career.

The Cowboys hope to continue the trend of underdogs dominating this season. Underdogs are 28-12-1 ATS over the past three weeks, and have cashed at nearly a 58 percent rate this season.
