NFL Week 11 Predictions
I’m a little later this week than usual and I could blame it on the euphoria from finally breaking out of my 9-5 trend last week… but really, it’s just that I’ve been super busy and I ran out of time to get this done yesterday. So, let’s get right to my picks for week 11:
| Away | Home | Comments | Pick | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Last week: 10-4 (71.4%), Season total: 97-47 (67.4%) | ||||
 Jets(6-3) |
 Patriots(6-3) |
I think the Jets are starting to fire on all cylinders… still, this will probably be very close. | |
|
 Eagles(5-4) |
 Bengals(1-8) |
Eagles. Period. | |
 |
 Titans(9-0) |
 Jaguars(4-5) |
The Jags have disappointed this season, and I can’t pick against an unbeaten this late in the season. | |
|
 Lions(0-9) |
 Panthers(7-2) |
Is there any doubt? | |
|
 Broncos(5-4) |
 Falcons(6-3) |
The Falcons have been pretty good at home so far, and the Broncos are another team that has really taken a step back this season. | |
|
 Raiders(2-7) |
 Dolphins(5-4) |
Week 11 and the Dolphins are still in playoff contention. Impressive for a team that finished 1-15 last year. | |
|
 Texans(3-6) |
 Colts(5-4) |
The Colts look like they’re back on track. Houston still isn’t there. | |
|
 Saints(4-5) |
 Chiefs(1-8) |
The Saint usually don’t work out for me, but the Chiefs aren’t a safe bet either. | |
|
 Bears(5-4) |
 Packers(4-5) |
Must win for Green Bay. | |
|
 Vikings(5-4) |
 Buccaneers(6-3) |
This might be tight, but I’ll go with Tampa. | |
|
 Ravens(6-3) |
 Giants(8-1) |
This should be a great game in which the Giants have the edge. | |
|
 Rams(2-7) |
 49ers(2-7) |
They almost beat the Cardinals last week, which makes me think the 49ers might have enough to top the Rams. | |
|
 Cardinals(6-3) |
 Seahawks(2-7) |
I don’t think Matt Hasselbeck can save the Seahawks season. | |
|
 Chargers(4-5) |
 Steelers(6-3) |
San Diego just doesn’t play consistently enough to make me pick them against the Steelers. | |
|
 Cowboys(5-4) |
 Redskins(6-3) |
With Tony Romo back, the ‘Boys are a much better team than they are without him. | |
|
 Browns(3-6) |
 Bills(5-4) |
The Bills have regressed recently but a loss to the Browns would make things a lot worse by putting a playoff spot almost out of reach. | |
|
The bye weeks are over, which means there’s no way that I’ll finish 9-5 this week… hopefully the additional games will both be wins. See also: ESPN’s Expert Picks.

My only opposing pick this week to yours is I actually chose KC over New Orleans. I usually DON’T pick KC as a rule but NO is not that great of a team and KC can be hard to be at home. I was also impressed at how well they played at San Diego last week. (Not that SD is that great but still better than NO anyways)
I was so glad to see that the Jets beat out NE last night. I really like both teams but without Brady I had to go with Farve. I am glad he is doing well with the Jets.

@Tracy: I’m also glad that Favre is doing well in New York. What a great game that was on Thursday!

Jonathan-
I didn’t post my picks last week but I was 12-1 last week and actually won the pool I was in! YIPEE!
The only pick I got wrong was thinking Detroit could win one. ha ha! I am hoping I am not making a similar mistake by picking KC this week. :)
I just HAVE to believe KC is not THAT bad. LOL! Although if KC loses this week I will have a really hard time picking them again this season…

I can’t believe I thought KC could WIN any game… UGH! Looks like you did great this week though Jonathan!
