With NFL Week 11 in the books, many teams are still in playoff contention with seven weeks left.

If you were betting on the Favorites to win this weekend, you saw some success, as they went 11-4 Straight Up. However, betting Against the Spread was a different story; while the favorites won, most struggled to cover, going 6-9 ATS. In recent weeks, the NFL saw games trend towards the over, but in Week 11, that was flipped entirely with the Under going 9-6.

Week 11 Overview

It was a great week for Gagnon, as he went 12-3 (80%) Against the Spread, making him the top NFL ATS bettor among hundreds of Experts this week. He is currently just ranked 30th Overall this season, but seems to be seeing the board well lately.

Gagnon started the week strong by covering the large spread of the Patriots (-12.5) to roll over the Jets in the Thursday night matchup. He continued that into the early Sunday matchups, where he hit the Dolphins (-2.5) over the Commanders in the Madrid, Spain game, then went 6-1 in the morning slate games.

He went against the consensus in several matchups, including the Giants (+7.5), which was chosen by only 37% of experts, and the Titans (+5.5), which was picked by only 29%. He started the week strong, then finished on a high note, predicting that the Cowboys (-3.5) would go into Vegas and beat the Raiders.
