NFL betting tips: Miami Dolphins to triumph in Spain, Kansas City Chiefs to edge Denver Broncos

It’s a huge clash in Denver this week as two AFC favourites, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Denver Broncos, go head-to-head in a contest that could prove vital in the regular season standings.

Elsewhere, the Washington Commanders will be hoping for a miracle as they head to Spain to tackle a fired-up Miami Dolphins.

Here, Sports News Blitz writer Sam Condy analyses week 11 of the NFL season and reveals three of his favourite picks.

Washington Commanders vs Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins ransacked Buffalo 30-13 last weekend, and they will be hoping to build on that performance when they take on the Washington Commanders in Spain this week.

De’Von Achane had hit something of a roadblock over the last couple of weeks, with the running back failing to score a touchdown since week six.

That all changed against the Bills, though, as Achane ran a season-high 174 yards and tallied two touchdowns en route to an emphatic win.

He may have just restored some lost confidence and, as a result, could be a key player against the nose-diving Commanders.

Suggested bet: Anytime touchdown scorer (De’Von Achane) @ 4/7 with Sky Bet

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Buffalo Bills

The Bills tasted defeat for the third time this season last week, pushing their away record to an uninspiring 2-2.

However, they have been far better at home, chalking up four wins and just the one defeat.

James Cook has moreover been one of the best rushers in the league this term, and with the Bucs’ poor rushing defence, he will have an opportunity to put his side back onto the straight and narrow.

Over 900 rushing yards is nothing to be sniffed at, and I predict he will run the show this week in Buffalo.

Suggested bet: James Cook total rushing yards (Over 81.5) @ 5/6 with Paddy Power

Kansas City Chiefs vs Denver Broncos

The Denver Broncos are the new favourites to top the AFC West, narrowly edging the Kansas City Chiefs in the eyes of the bookmakers.

Yet, while their defence is certainly up to scratch, the Denver offence is full of holes that Kansas will hope to exploit this weekend.

The Chiefs may not have a season record that fills one with confidence, but in my eyes, they are a better team than they were last year – and the stats seem to back up that claim.

Indeed, they rank third overall in EPA per play and fifth in DVOA.

But they are only marked as slight favourites, meaning backing them to get the job done seems almost too good to be true.

Suggested bet: Kansas City Chiefs (-3.5) @ 7/4 with AKBets
