If the sportsbooks would like to have a solid Week 11 in NFL betting, they'll need an "elite" performance out of Joe Flacco and the New York Jets, as well as a huge outing by Ravens backup quarterback Tyler Huntley with Lamar Jackson out vs. the Bears.

According to WynnBET's newly released splits for Sunday, the Dolphins are the highest liability team for the sportsbook heading into today's slate of NFL games. After opening at -2.5 on the road, Miami, fresh off a home upset last week on Thursday Night Football vs. the Baltimore Ravens, have now moved to 3.5-point road favorites at MetLife Stadium.

Miami has received 80.7% of the bets at WynnBET, but a staggering 96.7% of the money being wagered. That handle percentage is by far the highest of the Week 11 slate.

Additionally, the Chicago Bears have now re-opened as 2.5-point home underdogs after opening as 6.5-point dogs against the Baltimore Ravens. Sharp bettors were on this game from the very beginning; betting on Chicago all the way down to -4 before the news that Lamar Jackson would be unavailable to play.

This AFC/NFC matchup is a classic "Pros vs. Joe's" game. 73% of the bets have come in on Baltimore this week, but the Bears had received 73.9% of the betting handle.

Lastly, the Philadelphia Eagles have moved all the way up to 3-point favorites when they host the New Orleans Saints without the services of running back Alvin Kamara.

Our Reed Wallach is still a buyer in the Saints, expecting an outright victory in Philadelphia.

Here are the three highest liabilities for WynnBET as of Sunday morning:

  1. Miami Dolphins (-3.5) at New York Jets
  2. Chicago Bears (+4) vs. Baltimore Ravens
  3. Philadelphia Eagles (-3) vs. New Orleans Saints
