Week 11 NFL Picks and Discussion Thread!

Week 11, and the playoff picture is beginning to take shape! Lots of surprise teams this week, including the two in our game of the week…

GAME OF THE WEEK – Los Angeles Rams (7-2) at Minnesota Vikings (7-2), MIN by 2.5 – Few people would have expected either of these teams to have these records at this point of the season, but here they are in a game that could have important tiebreaking implications for the playoffs. The Rams are getting into the meat of their schedule with a date against the NFC South-leading Saints coming up next week. They have been one of the league’s most well-rounded teams, with a high-powered offense and a much-improved defense thanks to the coordination of Wade Phillips. The Vikings are, first and foremost, a defensive team, but Case Keenum has been surprisingly effective in delivering a modest passing game for the Vikings. Going to be an interesting one, and we’re going to learn a lot about both teams. The Vikings get the homefield advantage, but the Rams just feel like the more well-rounded team right now, and I think they’re going to come away with the win. But neither result would surprise me here. UPSET! – Rams 27, Vikings 23

THURSDAY NIGHT – Tennessee Titans (6-3) at Pittsburgh Steelers (7-2), PIT by 7 – Another high-quality matchup between division leaders with important playoff implications. The Titans are in a tight race with the Jaguars, who have an automatic win against the Browns this week, so they can’t let their guard down. The Steelers tend to play to the level of their opponents, and having the homefield advantage on a short week is a big deal. Give me Pittsburgh to scrape one out. Steelers 23, Titans 20

Detroit Lions (5-4) at Chicago Bears (3-6), DET by 3 – Chicago couldn’t even beat the Brett Hundley-led Packers at home. Little reason to think they can beat the Lions, who are the better team. Lions 27, Bears 13[/u]

Kansas City Chiefs (6-3) at New York Giants (1-8), KC by 10.5 – The Giants have essentially given up on the season, and Ben McAdoo is a lame duck coach. Easy peasy. [i]Chiefs 30, Giants 10


Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-6) at Miami Dolphins (4-5), MIA by 1 – The Bucs finally showed some signs of life last week, while the Dolphins continue to flounder. I still think Tampa is better than what they’ve shown, but they need to maintain some focus. UPSET! – Bucs 20, Dolphins 16

Baltimore Ravens (4-5) at Green Bay Packers (5-4), BAL by 2 – Brett Hundley looked like absolute dogshit for the first three quarters against the Bears, and then put together an immensely impressive fourth quarter surge, making some really outstanding throws. It gives the Packers the smallest amount of hope that they can maybe stay afloat. Then again, the defense put up an unsustainably great performance against the Bears because they were playing a semi-talented rookie QB. I’m going to temper my expectations. Ravens 20, Packers 13

Arizona Cardinals (4-5) at Houston Texans (3-6), ARZ by 1 – Injuries have dismantled Houston, and they’ve essentially become a bye week for other teams. Sad. Cardinals 31, Texans 10

Jacksonville Jaguars (6-3) at Cleveland Browns (0-9), JAX by 7.5 – Injuries have not dismantled Cleveland, but they’re essentially a bye week for other teams anyway. Sad. Jaguars 34, Browns 9

Washington (4-5) at New Orleans Saints (7-2), NO by 7.5 – Playing at home, hottest team in the league, defense at full stride and running game suddenly appearing… it’s looking mighty promising for the Saints in the NFC this year. Saints 34, Washington 13

Buffalo Bills (5-4) at Los Angeles Chargers (3-6), LAC by 4 – The Bills decided to bench Tyrod Taylor, and the Chargers have been playing teams close. The Chargers may have the worse record, but you gotta feel like they’re coming into this game with more confidence. Chargers 26, Bills 17

Cincinnati Bengals (3-6) at Denver Broncos (3-6), DEN by 2.5 – Boy, you know it’s bad for Cincinnati when they’re not even favored to beat the ice-cold Broncos. Broncos 20, Bengals 17

New England Patriots (7-2) vs Oakland Raiders (4-5) in Mexico City, NE by 6.5 – The disappointing season for Oakland continues. Patriots 34, Raiders 21

Philadelphia Eagles (8-1) at Dallas Cowboys (5-4), PHI by 3.5 – With a win, Philadelphia can do some major damage to Dallas’s playoff hopes and come one victory away from clinching the NFC East already. You gotta think they’ll be fired up for this one. Eagles 30, Cowboys 16

Atlanta Falcons (5-4) at Seattle Seahawks (6-3), SEA by 3 – Atlanta absolutely must have a victory if they want to be able to control their own playoff destinies the rest of the way. But playing on the road in primetime in one of the harder stadiums to win, I don’t like their odds. Seahawks 23, Falcons 20

BYES: Carolina Panthers, Indianapolis Colts, New York Jets, San Francisco 49ers

GAME OF THE WEEK – Los Angeles Rams (7-2) at Minnesota Vikings (7-2), MIN by 2.5 – This game is crucial for both teams when it comes to playoff seeding. It will also be a fascinating game of strength vs strength with the Rams offense against that stout Viking defense. That being said, where the game will be decided will most likely be when the Rams defense stifles the Viking offense. UPSET!!! LA Rams 24, Minnesota Vikings 21

THURSDAY NIGHT – Tennessee Titans (6-3) at Pittsburgh Steelers (7-2), PIT by 7 – The Steelers will expose the Titans as a fraudulent contender benefited by a horrible division. Pittsburgh Steelers 30, Tennessee Titans 14

Detroit Lions (5-4) at Chicago Bears (3-6), DET by 3 – Detroit isn't a great team, but they are better than Chicago and should take care of business fairly easily. Detroit Lions 24, Chicago Bears 16

Kansas City Chiefs (6-3) at New York Giants (1-8), KC by 10.5 – It is almost impossible to believe the depths to which the Giants (some people's Super Bowl contender), have fallen to. And that's coming from a Cleveland Browns fan who has seen about every level of sucktitude that exists. KC Chiefs 31, NY Giants 14

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-6) at Miami Dolphins (4-5), MIA by 1 – Um? Who knows? Who cares. When two teams are as bad as these teams it's hard to tell which team will show up. I'm going for the road upset here. UPSET!!! TB Buccaneers 21, Miami Dolphins 19

Baltimore Ravens (4-5) at Green Bay Packers (5-4), BAL by 2 – The Packers came out and showed some real heart against the Bears last week, but the Ravens should be able to course correct both seasons at this point, because Baltimore isn't Chicago. Baltimore Ravens 21, GB Packers 17

Arizona Cardinals (4-5) at Houston Texans (3-6), ARZ by 1 – Houston should take advantage of the being at home in this game of bad teams. UPSET!!! Houston Texans 20, Arizona Cardinals 17

Jacksonville Jaguars (6-3) at Cleveland Browns (0-9), JAX by 7.5 – The Browns make mistakes that good high school football teams don't make. Also, you can get tickets to Sunday's Browns game cheaper than you can get tickets into Ohio High School playoff games this weekend. Jacksonville Jaguars 27, Cleveland Browns 13

Washington (4-5) at New Orleans Saints (7-2), NO by 7.5 – This game could be an interesting one, but ultimately the Saint defense should carry the team. NO Saints 28, Washington 23

Buffalo Bills (5-4) at Los Angeles Chargers (3-6), LAC by 4 – Don't know what exactly to make of this game or the Bills making a QB change while being in playoff contention. I think Peterman can play well enough to help the defense to beat a hapless Charger team. UPSET!!! Buffalo Bills 23, LA Chargers 21

Cincinnati Bengals (3-6) at Denver Broncos (3-6), DEN by 2.5 – Denver is better than Cincinnati, despite their QB problems. Denver Broncos 21, Cincy Bengals 18

New England Patriots (7-2) vs Oakland Raiders (4-5) in Mexico City, NE by 6.5 – This should be quite the competitive game and go down to the wire in what might be the most entertaining game of the weekend. I think the Pats carry it in the end, but it should be close. NE Patriots 30, Oakland Raiders 24

Philadelphia Eagles (8-1) at Dallas Cowboys (5-4), PHI by 3.5 – Child Please! Philly Eagles 27, Dallas Cowboys 23

Atlanta Falcons (5-4) at Seattle Seahawks (6-3), SEA by 3 – I think the Falcons can take advantage of the weakened Seattle secondary and get their season back on track. UPSET!!! Atlanta Falcons 24, Seattle Seahawks 21
