NFL Week 11 Predictions
Several important division games this week, Washington-Dallas, NYJ-NE, and Houston-Tennessee.
Miami Dolphins 16, Carolina Panthers 27
With Ronnie Brown placed on IR with a foot injury, the Wildcat loses its key player. I don’t think Ricky Williams and Pat White will be able to pick up the slack.
Pittsburgh Steelers 28, Kansas City Chiefs 13
After basically surrenduring the division to the Bengals, the Steelers need wins to stay in the wild card race.
Atlanta Falcons 27, New York Giants 31
Hopefully the Giants figured out their many problems during their bye. Matt Ryan has not looked sharp in recent weeks, and a dome team playing in New York in mid-November usually favors the home team.
New Orleans Saints 42, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 24
Despite their first win and making the Dolphins kick a game winning field goal, the Bucs are still a bad team. The Saints know this.
San Francisco 49ers 21, Green Bay Packers 25
Aaron Rodgers is not Jay Cutler, and should be able to put up a respectable score against the 49ers.
Seattle Seahawks 20, Minnesota Vikings 31
Adrian Peterson and Brett Favre look to improve to 10-1 against another injury-wracked Seahawks team.
Cleveland Browns 13, Detroit Lions 20
FailBowl 2009.
Buffalo Bills 10, Jacksonville Jaguars 38
After firing their coach the Bills took a step in the right direction. Unfortunately firing Dick Jauron doesn’t give the Bills a run defense.
Washington Redskins 17, Dallas Cowboys 20
Maybe the Redskins can play spoiler to the Cowboys’ postseason chances again in Dallas.
Indianapolis Colts 31, Baltimore Ravens 28
Last season against Baltimore Peyton Manning led the Colts to a 31-3 victory. While weather might be a factor in Baltimore, the Ravens defense isn’t any better this time around while the Colts are hot.
Arizona Cardinals 33, St. Louis Rams 20
Arizona has been good on the road this year, and the Rams don’t exactly offer up a lot of resistance.
New York Jets 13, New England Patriots 37
Think Tom Brady is pissed that the Patriots lost? I think so too. At home against division rivals the Patriots will be looking to take out their frustrations on a fluondering Jets squad.
Cincinnati Bengals 21, Oakland Raiders 9
The Bengals defense came up big against Pittsburgh, and now they get to deal with the challenge of stopping Bruce Gradkowski. Hmmm…
San Diego Chargers 24, Denver Broncos 23
The AFC West is more or less decided in this one, and these teams are going in opposite directions. The Broncos still have a decent defense but are clearly sliding into mediocrity as everyone expected them to before the season started.
Philadelphia Eagles 20, Chicago Bears 23
Brian Westbrook is out again, this time probably for longer than two weeks. The Eagles lost on the road to the Chargers, and something tells me that the Bears are going to actually try this time.
Tennessee Titans 34, Houston Texans 31
Chris Johnson is putting up MVP-like numbers even though he won’t get it, and even though the Titans started 0-7. The Texans have trouble stopping the run, but this game should be a shootout.
