Week 11 NFL Picks

Philadelphia Eagles (3-6) @ Washington Redskins (3-6)
Sunday, 1pm, FOX, O/U 43.5
            Super thrilled to be starting Nick Foles on one of my fantasy teams this week because Michael Vick and Ben Roethlisberger got hurt the same week. Anytime you can play a guy that looks like he should be delivering pizzas for Dominos, you have to do it.

REDSKINS (-3.5) over Eagles
Top-5 Pick of the Week

Green Bay Packers (6-3) @ Detroit Lions (4-5)

Sunday, 1pm, FOX, O/U 52.5
            Want to know what motivates Green Bay? How about the fact that if it weren’t for the replacement refs, they would be tied for first place in the NFC North.

Packers (-3.5) over LIONS

Top-5 Pick of the Week

Arizona Cardinals (4-5) @ Atlanta Falcons (8-1)

Sunday, 1pm, FOX, O/U 44
            Arizona is a good team to catch when you need to bounce back from your first loss of the season.

FALCONS (-9.5) over Cardinals

 

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-4) @ Carolina Panthers (2-7)

Sunday, 1pm, FOX, O/U 48
            It took about a month for it to happen, but Tampa Bay now boasts one of the five scariest offenses in the league.

Buccaneers (-1.5) over PANTHERS

Top-5 Pick of the Week
 

Cleveland Browns (2-7) @ Dallas Cowboys (4-5)

Sunday, 1pm, CBS, O/U 43.5
            I have to take Dallas in the Sportsbook Suicide Pool, so I’ll hedge a little bit and pick Cleveland to cover.

Browns (+8) over COWBOYS

 

New York Jets (3-6) @ St. Louis Rams (3-5-1)

Sunday, 1pm, CBS, O/U 38.5
            There’s absolutely nothing to like about the Jets this week.

RAMS (-3.5) over Jets

Top-5 Pick of the Week

Jacksonville Jaguars (1-8) @ Houston Texans (8-1)

Sunday, 1pm. CBS, O/U 40.5
            You know a match-up is one-sided when Vegas won’t even give you the option of wagering on a Texans’ money line.

TEXANS (-15) over Jaguars

Cincinnati Bengals (4-5) @ Kansas City Chiefs (1-8)

Sunday, 1pm, CBS, O/U 43.5
            The hardest game on the board to predict (in my uninformed opinion). We’ll take the points.

CHIEFS (+3.5) over Bengals

 

New Orleans Saints (4-5) @ Oakland Raiders (3-6)

Sunday, 4pm, FOX, O/U 54.5
            I just made a rule up that I won’t pick the Saints to cover until they get back to .500. This feels like it’s going to be a weird game.

RAIDERS (+4.5) over Saints

 

Indianapolis Colts (6-3) @ New England Patriots (6-3)

Sunday, 4:30pm, CBS, O/U 54.5
            At some point, the Patriots have to blow someone out. People are little to excited about the Colts, who despite their record, have been outscored by their opponents by 15 points this season.

PATRIOTS (-9) over Colts

Top-5 Pick of the Week
 

San Diego Chargers (4-5) @ Denver Broncos (6-3)

Sunday, 4:30pm, CBS, O/U 48.5
            You’ll be feeling good about taking the Chargers to cover until another backbreaking pick-6 by Phillip Rivers.

BRONCOS (-7.5) over Chargers

 

Baltimore Ravens (7-2) @ Pittsburgh Steelers (6-3)

Sunday, 8:20pm, NBC, O/U 40
            I love the under.

STEELERS (+3.5) over Ravens

(EDITORS NOTE: Due to the uncertainty at quarterback for San Francisco, there currently isn’t a line for Monday night’s game. We’ll post a pick on Facebook as soon as one is available)

Last Week = 5-9

Thursday = 0-1 (I don’t know what to do with the Bills or Dolphins)
Season = 74-68-4
