Fantasy Football picks are here at Bankroll Sports this year, and we are going to try to make the most of your NFL props betting options at BoDog Sportsbook by giving you some of the best fantasy football sleepers in Week 11!

Carson Palmer vs. Minnesota Vikings
The Vikings rank No. 30 against the pass and are No. 31 against fantasy quarterbacks. Throw out that first game that Palmer played against Kansas City in which he was picked off three times, and you’ve got a man with some darn good fantasy stats. He’s thrown for 299+ yards in back to back games and has five touchdowns to go with it. Sure, those nine turnovers in 2.5 games are an eyesore, but it’s nothing that a couple touchdowns won’t make you feel better about. If you’re in a bye week binge at QB, this is your perfect start to make even though the Raiders are going on the road.

Michael Bush vs. Minnesota Vikings
Same game. Same type of result. The Vikings are a heck of a lot better against the run than the pass, but the way that the Raiders have force fed Bush over the last two games has been remarkable. It’s hard to believe that Bush is a backup tailback. When he has the backfield to himself though, look out! He had over 230 total yards and a TD last week, and we can see a heck of a lot more of the same this week against Minnesota. There’s just no way that Bush doesn’t get his hands on the ball at least 25 times if Run DMC is kept out of the lineup once again, which is sounding like more and more of a possibility.

Marshawn Lynch vs. St. Louis Rams
This is the same St. Louis team that just let Chris Ogbonnaya run for a ton of yards against it last week… Most have probably forgotten about Lynch, and we can see why that was the case up until a few weeks ago. He only averaged 6.4 fantasy points per game (standard ESPN scoring) over his first seven games of the year, and he looked like he was being overtaken by RB Leon Washington and a host of others in the Seattle backfield. That being said, against the Cowboys and Ravens in the last two weeks, Lynch has 55 carries, 244 yards, and a TD in each game. Now, he’s got an easy two game stretch against the Rams and Redskins and really should be started even if he is on your bench.

Dexter McCluster vs. New England Patriots
In most leagues, McCluster will work as a receiver or as a running back, which makes him the perfect play this week if you are weak in either spot due to a big bye week. We know that he hasn’t found the end zone all year long, but what we also know is that there really is no choice but to get the ball in his hands a heck of a lot more often that has already been the case. QB Tyler Palko will be checking down all game in all likelihood, and against a relatively not-so-athletic defense like that of the Patriots, this could ultimately be a game in which McCluster ends up with 60 rushing yards, 70 receiving yards, and that elusive touchdown.

NASCAR betting fans: We’re back with another fantastic race this weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway, as 43 of the best drivers in the world look to make for great Ford 400 picks and the Chase for the Sprint Cup continues!

2011 Ford 400 Odds, Picks & Info
2011 Ford 400 Date: Sunday, November 20th, 2011
2011 Ford 400 Green Flag Time: 3:15 ET
2011 Ford 400 Location: Homestead-Miami Speedway, Homestead, FL
2011 Ford 400 Favorite: Tony Stewart (+475)
Defending Ford 400 Champion: Carl Edwards
2011 Ford 400 TV Coverage – Network: ESPN

There are only two drivers that are still in the running to win the Sprint Cup, and if either driver takes the checkered flag in this, the last race of the year, they will have won NASCAR’s biggest prize. We’ll start with the current points leader and the defending champion of this race, Carl Edwards (Odds to Win the Ford 400: 5.25 to 1 at SportBet Sportsbook). What we do like about Edwards is that he has been incredibly consistent during the Chase for the Sprint Cup. He hasn’t finished worse than 11th in a race since August 21st, and he has back to back second place finishes in races and five Top 5s in his last eight races. Edwards is as due as due could be for a checkered flag, something that he hasn’t had since way back on March 6th. With two wins under his belt in the last three years on this track, we just love Edwards’ chances on Sunday.

And then there is Tony Stewart (Current Ford 400 Odds: 4.75 to 1 at SportBet Sportsbook). “Smoke” won this race both in 1999 and 2000, but he hasn’t been victorious as the owner of his own car. Stewart already has four wins during the Chase for the Sprint Cup, and he has finished 8th or better in all but two of the nine races. That ugly 25th place finish at the AAA 400 is the only thing separating Stewart from running away from the rest of the field, and it is amazing to think that he still has a chance of claiming the Sprint Cup with a win. Don’t be surprised either if he gets the job done and claims glory for the first time since 2005 and for the third time in his career.

List Of Past Ford 400 Champions (Since 2000)
2010 Ford 400 Winner: Carl Edwards
2009 Ford 400 Winner: Denny Hamlin
2008 Ford 400 Winner: Carl Edwards
2007 Ford 400 Winner: Matt Kenseth
2006 Ford 400 Winner: Greg Biffle
2005 Ford 400 Winner: Greg Biffle
2004 Ford 400 Winner: Greg Biffle
2003 Ford 400 Winner: Bobby Labonte
2002 Ford 400 Winner: Kurt Busch
2001 Ford 400 Winner: Bill Elliott
2000 Ford 400 Winner: Tony Stewart

As great as it would be to see these two aforementioned drivers running neck and neck down the stretch on Sunday in the final laps for the race and for the entire Sprint Cup, the NASCAR odds have it that someone else is going to win this race. The man that we are going to be keeping a very close eye on is one that has had quite the frustrating season, Greg Biffle (Ford 400 Lines: 11 to 1 at SportBet Sportsbook). History is definitely on Biffle’s side having won this race three times in his career, in consecutive years no less, and it could really take away the sting from what has otherwise been a fairly disappointing season with no victories and only three Top 5 finishes.
