The Dallas Cowboys will be looking to solidify their lead atop the NFC East standings with a ninth straight victory when they welcome the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday afternoon as seven-point betting favourites at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com.

Dallas tallied its fourth outright win as a betting underdog last week, handing Pittsburgh a 35-30 loss as three-point road underdogs to improve their league-leading straight-up (SU) record to 9-1 going into Sunday afternoon’s Ravens vs. Cowboys betting matchup at AT&T Stadium.

The 5-4 Ravens travel to Dallas riding a two-game SU and against the spread (ATS) win streak that leaves them with a one-game lead over the Steelers atop the AFC North standings. Baltimore is winless SU and ATS in its last two games on the road but has dominated the Cowboys for two decades, winning five straight SU while going 4-1 ATS.

The Steelers, meanwhile, will look to halt a four-game SU and ATS slide when they visit the winless Cleveland Browns on Sunday as heavy eight-point road chalk. Pittsburgh pivot Ben Roethlisberger looked to be fully recovered from injury while completing his final 14 pass attempts in last week’s loss to the Cowboys, including a pair of touchdown strikes.

That is bad news for the Browns, who have lost 13 straight, going 3-10 ATS, and have allowed 30 or more points in six of their past eight games. Cleveland is also just 3-22 SU in their past 25 games against the Steelers, but are a surprising 2-2 SU and ATS in their past four meetings at FirstEnergy Stadium.

The Cincinnati Bengals will be desperate for a win to keep pace with Pittsburgh and Baltimore in the AFC North when they host the struggling Buffalo Bills on Sunday afternoon as 2.5-point betting favourites. The 3-5-1 Bengals are winless SU and ATS in their past two games, but have recorded outright victories in their past two outings at Paul Brown Stadium.

The playoff fever sweeping Western New York has been broken by three straight Bills losses. Buffalo has also lost three straight to the Bengals, but is 4-1 SU and ATS over its past five visits to Cincinnati, and a respectable 2-1-1 ATS in its past four overall road dates.

In other NFL Week 11 betting action, the 5-4 Miami Dolphins try to stay in the AFC playoff hunt as they visit the Los Angeles Rams as 1.5-point favourites. The Green Bay Packers attempt to end a three-game SU slide when they visit the Washington Redskins on Sunday night as three-point underdogs. And this week’s Monday night matchup sees the Oakland Raiders taking on the Houston Texans as six-point betting favourites.
