Week 11 Game Picks

BYE WEEK: Packers, Seahawks, Titans, Giants

17 NOV 1 PM ET GAMES

Saints @ Buccaneers

The Bucs are coming off a long overdue win as the Saints are coming off a stunning home loss. Although everyone would love to see another upset, I don’t see the Saints losing on the road let alone a second consecutive divisional loss! Besides Brees is undefeated (6-0 record) following a game where he had 0 TDs.

Score: 31-27, Saints Win.

Falcons @ Panthers

I love it. The Falcons came into New Orleans and stole a divisional W! This week it’s deja vu. The Panthers are coming off a nail-biting home loss that was closer than it looked like. Rodgers & the Packers dominated for the most part in last weeks snow storm. The Panthers tried to flip the switch late in the game & failed to pick up the road W. The Falcons are showing urgency NOW & their playoff chances might not be the best. That doesn’t mean they can’t ruin their divisional rivals chances! With the loss of Austin Hooper & Devonta Freeman on offense the Falcons are going to be a short-handed. The main difference maker in this game is force-feeding Julio Jones & make the Panthers beat you with Kyle Allen, who by the way leads the league in interceptions since week 8! Rise up in Sweet Carolina.

Score: 23-20, Falcons Win.

Broncos @ Vikings

Another week. Another W for the Vikings. Sure, the Broncos are technically undefeated when Brandon Allen is quarterback (1-0). Unfortunately, a mediocre offense by the Broncos will cost them the game. Denver is one of two teams in the league having scored 25 points or fewer in the league & they are winless against teams that are above .500. On the contrary, the Vikings offense is avg. 26.7 PPG this season. I’m riding with the Vikes at home to win their second straight as Brandon Allen is set to lose his first road start.

Score: 27-17, Vikings Win.

Jaguars @ Colts

Minshew Magic? Yup that brief era has come to an end. But the Jaguars still have lots of magic left… in Nick Foles. The Jaguars get their #7 back however, the Colts get their #7 back as well… Jacoby Brissett. After two consecutive losses there is urgency in Indy to stay atop the South. The only team that will ruin that? Nick Foles & the Jags. Coming off a bye week there is new life in the Jags locker room. With the Colts having every game decided by a mere possession, they can’t find a way to close out with future hall of famer, Adam Vinatieri who has missed a league-high 11 kicks this season! It’s going to be the Colts game to lose as Foles plays his former offensive coordinator, Frank Reich the same day the Eagles & Pats battle in a rematch of Super Bowl 52…

Score: 24-19, Jaguars Win.

Bills @ Dolphins

So the Dolphins are coming off their second consecutive win as the Bills are coming off a disappointing road loss to the Browns… weird right? What’s not so weird is the final score after Sunday’s divisional outing in Miami. Quite frankly, I’m not expecting a high scoring outing as the Bills are the only team above .500 avg. 19.3 PPG (fewest among teams above .500). Despite the Dolphins having scored 16+ in two consecutive games, they still avg. 13.3 PPG! It’s not going to cut it against the Bills who have the most wins (4) when scoring fewer than 25 Pts. Bills Mafia all the way in Miami!

Score: 23-16, Bills Win.

Cowboys @ Lions

What in the world was that home-loss last week Dallas? Crunch-time playcalling gone wrong that resulted in a loss. The Cowboys NEED to win if they want to stay in the mix of not only the NFC Conference but let alone in the NFC East division. Dak Prescott has a favorable matchup this week as he is 5-0 against defenses ranked 30th or worse. The Lions defense is ranked 30th! With the Eagles slowly creeping up, the Boys’ should get a break. With a likely Eagle loss to the Patriots, the Boys’ should steal one in the Motor City.

Score: 31-20, Cowboys Win.

Texans @ Ravens

The Ravens have be flying wild off late & the only team that can humble them is going to be Deshaun Watson & the Texans. Two electric talents going head to head in the early window in going to be a sight to see & after Sunday’s outing, I expect Deshaun Watson to have his name in the MVP ballot. Coming off a bye week plays a huge factor in my game pick as the Texans have not allowed a 100-YD rusher since week 17, 2017! On the contrary, the Ravens have averaged 197.2 rush YPG this season (most in NFL). I expect the Texans to find a way to slow down the Ravens ground game & make Lamar beat you with his arm. When it comes down to crunch time, I’m riding with Deshaun Watson & the Texans on the road. The AFC playoff picture is about to get wild…

Score: 29-27, Texans Win.

Jets @ Redskins

It’s another snooze fest game. I’m not going to fret too much about both teams woes. If Sam Darnold can stay consistent & Le’Veon Bell bounces back well I don’t see why the Jets can’t pick up the road W. The Redskins offense has been a mess as they have failed to score more than 10 points since week 6 & have not scored a TD in three consecutive games. With a secondary led by Jamal Adams, rookie QB, Dwayne Haskins is in serious trouble. Jets win their 2nd straight!

Score: 17-9, Jets Win.
