Nate's Week 11 NFL Football Wager and Cousin Vinny's Lock of the Week · Nate's Daily Wager

  Welcome to Nate's daily wager. I ain't picking winners, but I
• 0:10
  am making wagers. Time to put my money where my
• 0:13
  mouth is. You close with Vinny, back with
• 0:21
  your lock of the week. I'm looking to build on some
• 0:24
  momentum here. 2 weeks in a row. back-to-back hits for you.
• 0:28
  Looking to make it 3. Come back with the hat trick
• 0:30
  here. So for Week 11, I'm zeroing in
• 0:33
  on the NFC North. Big divisional matchup between
• 0:38
  the Bears. We're going into Minnesota to
• 0:41
  play the Vikings, getting 2 1/2 points.
• 0:44
  The Bears are riding high and sometimes low with their young
• 0:48
  quarterback Caleb Williams, who is approaching or on pace to be
• 0:53
  the first 4000 yard passer and Bears franchise history.
• 0:59
  Does that make me trust him on the road going into Minnesota at
• 1:03
  least a little bit more maybe. Well, I'll tell you this much.
• 1:08
  He's gone up against JJ McCarthy, who I absolutely don't
• 1:11
  trust. And in general, Cousin Vinny has
• 1:14
  a rule where he doesn't trust any professional quarterback
• 1:18
  that wears face paint. I mean, it's one thing to wear
• 1:22
  some eye black under the eye. I get that.
• 1:24
  I'm on board with that. But the whole like, you know,
• 1:28
  Aiden Hutchinson style eye makeup for a quarterback, it
• 1:31
  just doesn't fit. Also, a little locker room drama
• 1:35
  in Minnesota, little Justin Jefferson, little JJ Smoke added
• 1:41
  with a boatload of penalties, lost penalties, 8 penalties last
• 1:44
  week to be exact. And you have a recipe for what
• 1:48
  would be a bear's upset, at least in the eyes of Vegas.
• 1:51
  Not in Cousin Vinny's eyes. It one more nugget.
• 1:56
  Just a fun nugget there. Cousin Vinny loves CJ Gardner
• 1:58
  Johnson, total knucklehead, fun player to have on your team, at
• 2:02
  least sometimes. At least Bears just picked him
• 2:04
  up off the scrap heap. He's got a little juice there in
• 2:07
  the back end. Should help them out today,
• 2:09
  especially against the struggling young JJ McCarthy.
• 2:13
  So my lock today is the Bears plus 2 1/2.
• 2:16
  But I would encourage everybody to shop around and look for the
• 2:19
  three points outright. Always nice to have a field goal
• 2:22
  buffer there. But officially for the lock of
• 2:25
  the week, we are locking in getting the 2 1/2 points for
• 2:29
  your Bears. So to summarize, take the Bears
• 2:34
  getting the 2 1/2 points, take it to the bank and lock it up
• 2:38
  until week 12. This cousin Vinnie was your lock
• 2:41
  of the week. This is Nate's daily wager for
• 2:44
  November 16th, 2025 and well see last night was the opposite of
• 2:50
  the nap before or no two nights before with the college game
• 2:53
  right Last night, sweat all the way through thinking you got a
• 2:56
  chance, you're behind. Maybe there's the backdoor cover
• 3:00
  because get out ahead. Maybe they're thinking they need
• 3:03
  to worry about point differential.
• 3:05
  So even though they got the ball, they're winning and
• 3:08
  they'll go get you some points, get you the cover, all of that
• 3:11
  for nothing, still get the L, but you have to sweat through it
• 3:14
  all. Whereas at least on, you know,
• 3:17
  Thursday night or Friday night, whatever night it was, maybe it
• 3:20
  was Wednesday, it was just over early.
• 3:22
  Anyways, let's look forward instead of looking backwards.
• 3:24
  We got football today. We got professional football
• 3:27
  today, We got NFL football today.
• 3:29
  And if you're so inclined, you get to sit on your couch for
• 3:32
  about 12-13 hours because they're starting over in Spain.
• 3:36
  I I think in fact, that game's probably already going on by the
• 3:38
  time you're hearing this. I'm looking at these afternoon
• 3:41
  games and the one that stands out to me is the battle of these
• 3:44
  two younger quarterbacks here. We got Atlanta and Carolina
• 3:49
  taking the other on here, Atlanta's hosting Lion sitting
• 3:53
  at four. I think that's just about right.
• 3:55
  I think this is going to go back and forth.
• 3:57
  I don't think either team is really going to necessarily pull
• 4:00
  away or blow anyone out and I don't think anybody's going to
• 4:03
  ever be more than that field goal down, field goal combo, you
• 4:08
  know, out of it. So I like if I can get those
• 4:11
  those points, these teams are about even.
• 4:13
  And so I'm going to grab Carolina, probably do a little
• 4:16
  sprinkle and hope for the best. So we're going to go Carolina
• 4:20
  Panthers plus four against the Atlanta Falcons in today's NFL
• 4:25
  football action. Anything better than that?
• 4:27
  Found it. That's my pick and I'm sticking
• 4:29
  to it. And Gaffer has a bye week.
• 4:32
  My understanding it's pancake week again, something like that.
• 4:35
  And then Vinny's here, though he'll do you well, Vinny.
• 4:38
