Week 11 of the NFL season offers an exciting slate of games for fans to watch, capped off by a Super Bowl rematch on Monday Night Football. The Philadelphia Eagles (8-1) head west to take on the Kansas City Chiefs (7-2) in a rematch of Super Bowl 57 to finish off Week 12.

The Eagles are 8-1 for the second year in a row and most recently took home a 28-23 win over NFC East rival Dallas Cowboys. The offense led by quarterback Jalen Hurts is top-five in the league in yards and points per game. Hurts totaled 243 yards and three touchdowns in the crucial division win. The Eagles' defense has taken a step back in 2023 but remains a top-half of the league unit and has allowed more than 30 points just twice this season.

Kansas City bounced back from its first loss to the Denver Broncos in years to beat the Miami Dolphins 21-14 last time out in Germany. Defending league MVP Patrick Mahomes completed 20 of 30 passes for two touchdowns but a season-low 185 yards in the win. The Chiefs' defense stepped up in the win as it has for most of 2023. That unit's tied for the league lead in fewest points allowed and second in yards allowed.

The defending conference champions meet Monday night in Kansas City in a battle of two of the best teams in the league this season.

Best anytime touchdown bets for Week 11 Monday Night Football

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce: (-110)

Kelce's gone scoreless in his last two games. Since a 12-catch, 179-yard outburst against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 7, Kelce's caught nine passes for just 72 yards. Luckily for him, the Eagles have struggled recently against tight ends. Philadelphia gave up touchdowns to tight ends against Washington and Dallas in their last two games. He enjoyed the bye week and went to see Taylor Swift's Eras Tour show in Argentina. He'll come home with a chance to keep the good times rolling.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling: (+550)

The Eagles' defense has given up six touchdowns to wide receivers in the past three games. Each one went to a different receiver in those games, giving the Chiefs' wideouts equal opportunity for Monday Night Football. Of the receivers, the speedy Valdes-Scantling will likely get some deep shots his way and could take advantage of the Eagles' secondary.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes: (+310)

It's a bit surprising to see the defending MVP with odds this long for a touchdown. The Eagles have given up at least one passing touchdown in all but one game of 2023. The exception came in Week 6 against the New York Jets' anemic offense. Mahomes should find a way to score barring injury on MNF.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (+130)

The Chiefs' pass defense is especially strong this season with less than 200 passing yards allowed per game. But Kansas City's run defense is its weaker point, ranking 17th in yards allowed. Hurts is the key part of arguably the most effective goal-line play in the league: the Tush Push quarterback sneak. Philadelphia can rely on its running game to get the offense in scoring range and Hurts can punch it in on the ground or through the air.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (+140)

Brown's on a hot streak over the past month: he's caught four touchdowns in the last three games. The Chiefs' defense has allowed three touchdowns combined to wide receivers in the last two matchups. Between Brown and DeVonta Smith, Brown's physical game gives him the edge for a scoring chance.

Philadelphia Eagles Defense/Special Teams (+600)

A bit of a long shot here, but the Chiefs are one of the more turnover-prone teams in the league. They're tied for fifth with the Minnesota Vikings and Jacksonville Jaguars with 17 giveaways this season. Given that, there's a possibility for a scoop-and-score or pick-six for the Eagles' defense this week.
