NFL Picks-Week 11

Last Week: 7-9 Season: 88-56

Another mediocre week. Let’s see what Week 11 brings….

Indianapolis at Dallas: The Colts are 9-0. They have slept through many of those games, such as last week against Buffalo, winning 17-16. They have shown the ability to get up for big games, such as the one two weeks ago against the Patriots. The Cowboys are woefully inconsistent. Tony Romo appears to be the real deal at quarterback. I’m really tempted to pick the Cowboys here, but my better judgment says no. Pick: Nap-town
Buffalo at Houston: The Texans are coming off their third win of the year, surpassing last year’s win total. The Bills aren’t a very good team. Neither are the Texans. Pick: Houston
Atlanta at Baltimore: Michael Vick had a brain fart last week, committing three turnovers against the Browns. Now, he faces the Ravens’ defense. Good luck with all that. Pick: Baltimore
Chicago at New York Jets: Da Bears play their second game at the Meadowlands in two weeks. No, the Bears didn’t sell mini-season ticket plans for games in New York. This is a road game against the J-E-T-S, who upset the Patriots in the slop last week. The Bears go two for two in the Jersey swamp. Pick: Da Bears
Cincinnati at New Orleans: The disappointing Bengals travel to the Big Easy to take on the surprising Saints. There will be a lot of points scored here. The Saints will score a few more. Pick: New Orleans
Minnesota at Miami: Two teams going in opposite directions. The Dolphins are starting to get it together, winning their last two games with starting QB Joey Harrington. The Vikes have slid back into mediocrity. Pick: Miami
New England at Green Bay: The Pats have proven to be mortal, losing their last two games in a row. The Pack has been a better road team than home team. The opposite is true for the Pats. Something has to change. Pick: Green Bay
Oakland at Kansas City: One of the great AFL rivalries resumes. The Raiders have won two games, which is two more than many expected at the beginning of the year. The Chiefs welcome back QB Trent Green. The Chiefs are a better team. Pick: Kansas City
Pittsburgh at Cleveland: These teams have identical 3-6 records. Both teams won last week. This one is worthy of a coin flip. Pick: Pittsburgh
St. Louis at Carolina: The Barbecue Bowl. I prefer St. Louis ribs. Carolina has a better football team, though. Pick: Carolina
Tennessee at Philadelphia: The Vince Youngs visit the City of Brotherly Love. A long season continues for the Titans. Pick: Philly
Washington at Tampa Bay: Rematch of a playoff game from last season. This year, both teams will have to buy a ticket or watch TV to see a playoff game. RB Clinton Portis is now out for the season for the Redskins. Pick: Tampa Bay
Seattle at San Francisco: The 49ers have won four games. Think they wouldn’t like to have that first Arizona game back? The Seahawks return RB Shaun Alexander this week. That should be enough for Seattle. Pick: Seattle
San Diego at Denver: A good one on Sunday Night Football. Both teams are 7-2. One will win the division, the other will be a very good wild card team. This is a tough pick, but I’ll go with the home field and Denver. If we’re lucky, it’ll snow in Denver Sunday night. Pick: Denver
New York Giants at Jacksonville: Both teams have been bitten by the injury bug. The Giants lost last week to Da Bears, while the Jags lost to the sorry Texans. The Giants are a little better, and should be able to bounce back. Pick: Giants
