Predictions for Week 11

8-8 last week, including this past Thurdays game. that puts me at 72-45 for the season. Damn I need to stop getting lucky and start makign solid predictions.


IND at BAL Winner: IND


This was once a battle of epic offense versus epic defense. It’s now a matchup of an MVP QB in Peyton Manning leading his team against a reeling Ravens team. In spite of what it looked like in the game against the Browns, the offense was unable to pull away until late in the game and against the Colts, they may be unable to keep up with the Manning to Wayne connection. Colts win.

WAS at DAL Winner: DAL

Dallas hiccupped against Green Bay, but should be able to beat up on the suddenly confident Redskins.

CLE vs. DET Winner: DET

Detroit has been getting their talent going to a degree, while the Browns are a disappointingly poorly mismanaged team. The Browns could win this game if their offense can muster some points, their defense is pretty good. I still think that the Lions will get more points this time and get the win.

SF vs. GB Winner: GB

This is a tough game to call. Both teams are fairly middle of the road teams. Green Bay has a capable offense, but also protection problems and a young developing defense. San Fran has a strong running game and a fairly decent defense, but QB issues. I think Green Bay will hold on to their momentum from last week and pull out another victory. However if they don’t, San Fran will likely win.

BUF at JAC Winner: JAC

Jacksonville has been pulling themselves up by their bootstraps the past few weeks. While Maurice Jones-Drew has been piling up the touchdowns with regularity, Mike Sims-Walker has been giving the Jags a consistent passing target and keeping defenses honest during their run. Buffalo’s in disarray and will not be able to turn it around against the Jags.

PIT at KC Winner: PIT

Kansas City is still rebuilding, but is making strides. In this game, with their top receiver suspended, Pittsburgh will win, big time.

SEA at MIN Winner: MIN

Minnesota is a dominant team with a strong defense and offense. The Seahawks are injury-plagued and without a running game. Who tell me you is going to win.

ATL at NYG Winner: NYG

Atlanta is struggling some in this stretch. It will be a good way for them to learn to buckle down and fight for the wins. The Giants are coming off the bye and need to win to stay in the playoff race. The Giants will likely get this win, but don’t be too surprised if the Falcons pull the upset.

NO at TB Winner: NO

Tampa Bay is getting better each week since they started Josh Freeman. However, the Saints are going to make him struggle and out score the defense. Big win for the Saints.

ARI at STL Winner: ARI

Arizona is starting to catch its stride, while the Rams are still struggling. Steven Jackson will probably have a good game, but the Cardinals still win going away.

SD at DEN Winner: SD

Kyle Orton is out. Chris Simms hasn’t started since 2006. San Diego will definitely get the win.

NYJ at NE Winner: NE

The last time this two played, the Jets were able to pull of a big upset with the sensational rookie Quarterback Mark Sanchez. Since then, reality has set in for both teams. Sanchez has come crashing down to earth and is turning the ball over a fair amount. The New England defense has begun to really come together and with likely cause Sanchez to make numerous mistakes that cost the Jets the game. Patriots win going away.

CIN at OAK Winner: CIN

Cincinnati is one of the hottest and most well coached teams in the NFL right now. The Raiders are in constant disarray and have no chance of pulling themselves out of the gutter this season. Another win for the Bengals.

PHI at CHI Winner: PHI

Philly has been getting better with each passing game and their defense is excellent at getting pressure and causing turnovers off that pressure. With Jay Cutler’s history of making poor decisions in this season, (even though he has a two to one ratio of touchdowns to interceptions when the two 5 INT. games are taken away, so he hasn’t been nearly has bad has it seems) it leads to a win for the Eagles.

TEN at HOU Winner: HOU

Tennessee is red hot and has been getting their defense back up to snuff as more players are stepping up to fill the role of Albert Haynesworth as a pass rusher. Houston however, has been solid offensively and the defense is starting to mold into a solid D. I think Houston pulls it out, but it will be close.
