Best bets for Lions vs. Eagles, Miami vs. Florida, NBA, NHL on Sunday, Nov. 16

It was widely expected the Philadelphia Eagles and Detroit Lions would meet in the NFC Championship Game last year, but the matchup did not come to fruition as Detroit shockingly was ousted by the Washington Commanders in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. That showdown could happen this postseason, but the clubs first will meet in Week 11 of the 2025 NFL season as the Eagles host the Lions at Lincoln Financial Field at 8:20 p.m. ET on Sunday Night Football.

Philadelphia (7-2), which has a comfortable lead in the NFC East, is coming off its third consecutive victory – a 10-7 triumph over the Green Bay Packers last Monday. Detroit (6-3) rolled past Washington 44-22 last week and is tied with the Chicago Bears atop the NFC North.

Eight games are on Sunday’s NBA schedule, including a showdown between the Chicago Bulls (6-5) and Utah Jazz (4-8) at 8 p.m. ET at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City. The Bulls are looking to snap a four-game losing streak, while the Jazz seek just their second win in six contests.

Meanwhile, the NHL has four games on its slate following a morning matchup between the Nashville Predators and Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2025 NHL Global Series in Sweden. One of the contests has the New York Rangers (10-7-2) hosting the Detroit Red Wings (10-7-1) at Madison Square Garden at 7 p.m. ET. The Rangers are riding a three-game winning streak but are just 1-6-1 at home this season.

There also are more than 30 college basketball games on Sunday, with the action concluding when Miami (3-0) takes on No. 10 Florida (2-1) in the Jacksonville Hoops Showdown at 8:30 p.m. ET at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville. Miami trounced Stetson 102-61 in its last outing, while Florida edged Florida State 78-76 last Tuesday.

The Eagles are 2.5-point favorites against the Lions in the latest consensus NFL odds. The Bulls are 4.5-point favorites against the Jazz, the Rangers are -141 favorites on the money line…
