NFL Picks Week 11

Through nine weeks of the NFL, there is one thing that is certain?and that is there is no certainty. It is a given (pardon me for saying) that a team will win and they lose. So from here on out, I am going to bite my lip and attempt to salvage my overall record. So week eleven showcases a huge match-up in the NFC East as well as a spy rivalry. But that’s not all, here are my picks for week eleven of the NFL:NY Jets 23 at New England 16 – This is becoming a big rivalry in the NFL after a recent encounter with using spy tactics to further their success. Even with the main players in this saga (‘The Hoody’ and ‘The Genie’) the same, the quarterbacks are different this time around. Tom Brady is out, Chad Pennington is out, and in comes Favre and Cassel. I am sorry, but I will take Favre in that match-up. Defensively, Patriots have the upper hand. I’ll take #4 to do this thing.

Baltimore 20 at NY Giants 31 – I seem to receive noise from Ravens’ fans every week mainly because I do not have faith in the squad. Apologies, but the last time I picked the Ravens to win, they lost. Maybe this is better?I’ll pick them to lose and they will keep winning. I wouldn’t expect a blow up like the lost against Cleveland from the Giants. The Ravens will put up points in this game, but not enough. Take the Giants.

Tennessee 34 at Jacksonville 21 – This is a huge match-up in the AFC. These two teams are big time rivals, and especially since the Titans are undefeated through nine weeks in the NFL. The Jags are not doing as well as expectations would like in Florida, but even with the weapons they have, this one won’t really be a problem for the Titans. I’ll take the Titans and Fisher to continue their great season.

Dallas 17 at Washington 20 – I will admit, the Redskins played like a pee-wee team in week nine. Their defense looked wretched; they were without Jason Taylor and Shawn Springs. Their offense was ineffective against a defense that is one of the best in the league. This weekend, they host their bitter rivals at home. They went to Dallas and got a huge win early in the season, against a healthy Tony Romo. This game depends mostly on which of each of these teams shows up. If the defense we saw last week from the Skins shows up, this is going to be a long game. Even with Romo back he won’t be 100%, and this will factor into it as well. I expect this game to be very close, and might even get to overtime. One of the main reasons I have the Skins pulling it out is that they are coming off a bye week, that will aid them in resting up. Take the Skins to edge it out.
