NFL Picks and Predictions

With the playoffs not that far away, teams are starting to really jostle for position. This week has some marquee match ups for our football pleasure, and we feel very good about a huge week of picks. Please feel free to argue my picks in the comments section, as I like to hear what you think. Matter of fact, feel free to praise me as well. That is always welcome. Regardless, here are your NFL picks and predictions for week 11 of NFL football action:

THU, NOV 19

Miami at Carolina
I am still adjusting to this whole Thursday night thing; at least this week we have a match up that I care about. The resurgent Carolina Panthers are ready to rumble, and the Dolphins might just be in trouble. With Ronnie Brown out, I expect that the Dolphins will struggle a bit. Not only that…The Panthers defense should have something to say about it. Ron Meeks took some time to get it right, but now that he has that new system in place, the Panthers are stout. This game may be close, but I see the Panthers clearly winning.

Winner – Carolina Panthers

SUN, NOV 22

Washington at Dallas
The Dallas Cowboys are a team that nobody can seem to figure out including me. I was on board as much as anybody after that nice run leading up to week 10. Then the Packers basically slapped them in the mouth, and then laughed about it. If the Cowboys are going to be serious about any real run, they have to find that consistency button more than three weeks at a time. You hear that Tony Romo? They still beat up on Washington.

Winner – Dallas Cowboys

Cleveland at Detroit
I am picking Detroit if for no other reason than because they can score. Cleveland is really bad….

Winner – Detroit Lions

San Francisco at Green Bay
Battle of the Bays should be fun. I see a high scoring affair with the Packers winning simply because it is in Lambeau. I can not see the Niners going into Lambeau and winning against these Packers. Not this year anyway. The Packers had better get it together quick if they have any hopes of getting a playoff spot. Maybe their run starts here.

Winner – Green Bay Packers

Pittsburgh at Kansas City
The Steelers are going to be very angry and the Chiefs are simply in the way. Woe to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Winner – Pittsburgh Steelers

Atlanta at NY Giants
So can the Giants right that ship in time? I think that they will still be on the short end of the stick in the long run, but they begin to get things together this week. They have had a week to think about it. I imagine that they will show up pretty strong this week, and the timing is kind of bad for the Falcons.

Winner – New York Giants

New Orleans at Tampa Bay
The Saints have looked quite vulnerable now for two weeks in a row. The Bucs have suddenly found a quarterback, and have been strong the last two weeks. Upset? Nah… The situation is not right and the Saints are too good to let that happen this week. It is coming, but not this week.

Winner – New Orleans Saints

Buffalo at Jacksonville
In a game where I could honestly care less, the Jaguars should pull out a win. They somehow find a way to lose every time I pick them. Hopefully, that won’t be the case this week.

Winner – Jacksonville Jaguars

Indianapolis at Baltimore
The Colts pulled out the miracle of miracles against the Pats last week (with an assist from Belichick) and should be in a great place mentally this week. I expect they will beat the Ravens handily, and cement that home field advantage in the process.

Winner – Indianapolis Colts

Seattle at Minnesota
Minnesota wins this one in a blowout. Adrian Peterson is finally looking like he is in form, and Favre has developed quite a list of toys in Viking land. This game will not be close.

Winner – Minnesota Vikings

Arizona at St. Louis
This game on the surface looks like a blowout for Arizona, but I came terribly close to picking St. Louis in an upset. (okay so not terribly close…I thought about it) St. Louis does have a running game, and the Cardinals have a hard time with that lately. They will win the game, but the Cardinals might have more trouble with the Rams than one would expect.

Winner – Arizona Cardinals

NY Jets at New England
The Jets face the the Patriots at a very bad time. Goodbye Jets.

Winner – New England Patriots

Cincinnati at Oakland
The Bengals, fresh off the signing of Larry Johnson, head into the Raiders den. They then proceed to stomp on the Raiders as Jamarcus throws for -28 yds in the loss.

Winner – Cincinnati Bengals

San Diego at Denver
The Chargers are doing their annual “peak at the right time until it is in the playoffs” thing and the Broncos are sliding fast. I expect the trend to continue.

Winner – San Diego Chargers

Philadelphia at Chicago
The Eagles are yet another team that has no consistency whatsoever. They are up then down. This week, they are up. (it is in prime time)

Winner – Philadelphia Eagles

MON, NOV 23

Tennessee at Houston
This game showcases two teams that are in similar places. They are talented, underrated and both have more talent then they know how to use. It is a toss up, but I say the Texans finally win a huge game for their franchise. They might just make the playoffs this year. Vince Young finally loses in his return to the big stage.

Winner – Houston Texans

Tiebreaker Score – Houston 27 Tennessee 21

Week 10 Record – 8 -7

Season Record – 90 – 54
