Here are my picks for week eleven of the 2018 NFL season.
Thursday, November 15th
Green Bay Packers (4-4-1) vs Seattle Seahawks (4-5)- 8:20, FOX/NFLN: The Packers are coming off a much needed home win over the Miami Dolphins. The Seahawks are coming off a tough divisional road loss in Los Angeles against the Rams. The Seahawks need this game badly or else they can start playing out the string so give me them to get the home win.
Prediction: Seattle 27, Green Bay 24.
Sunday, November 18th
Dallas Cowboys (4-5) at Atlanta Falcons (4-5)- 1:00, FOX: This is a loser leaves town match. The Cowboys are coming off a huge Sunday night divisional road win in Philadelphia against the Eagles. The Falcons are coming off a dismal road loss in Cleveland against the Browns. The Falcons survive this one led by Matt Ryan and that offense along with a few big stops on defense.
Prediction: Atlanta 27, Dallas 20.
Carolina Panthers (6-3) at Detroit Lions (3-6)- 1:00, FOX: The Panthers are coming off a disastrous Thursday night road loss in Pittsburgh against the Steelers. The Lions are coming off a divisional road loss in Chicago against the Bears. The Panthers should bounce back from that Pittsburgh debacle against an inferior opponent and Cam Newton usually succeeds indoors.
Prediction: Carolina 33, Detroit 20.
Tennessee Titans (5-4) at Indianapolis Colts (4-5)- 1:00, CBS: Big divisional game here. The Titans are coming off a big time win at home against the New England Patriots. The Colts are coming off a big home divisional win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Colts need this game badly to keep themselves alive in the AFC playoff picture and I believe they'll pull off another divisional home win.
Prediction: Indianapolis 27, Tennessee 23.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-6) at New York Giants (2-7)- 1:00, FOX: The Bucs are coming off a bad home loss against the Washington Redskins. The Giants are coming off a Monday night road win in Santa Clara against the 49ers. The Giants looked component on offense last week against a bad defense and that will be the same situation here against a bad Bucs defense. Saquon Barkley and Odell Beckham Jr have big games.
Prediction: NY Giants 31, Tampa Bay 24.
Houston Texans (6-3) at Washington Redskins (6-3)- 1:00, CBS: The Texans are coming off their bye and two weeks ago they won in Denver against the Broncos courtesy of a missed field goal by Brandon McManus which would have snapped the Texans' win streak. The Redskins are coming off a road win in Tampa Bay against the Buccaneers. This is a big game for both these teams and I like the Redskins and Alex Smith to get the job done to snap the Texans win streak.
Prediction: Washington 24, Houston 20.
Pittsburgh Steelers (6-2-1) at Jacksonville Jaguars (3-6)- 1:00, CBS: The Steelers are coming off a big time Thursday night home win over the Carolina Panthers. The Jaguars are coming off a divisional road loss in Indianapolis against the Colts. The Steelers have been rolling and they have redemption on their minds here as they remember clearly that the Jags were the ones that knocked them out of the playoffs a season ago in the division round. Steelers cruise here.
Prediction: Pittsburgh 37, Jacksonville 23.
Cincinnati Bengals (5-4) at Baltimore Ravens (4-5)- 1:00, CBS: Huge divisional game. The Bengals are coming off a disastrous home loss against the New Orleans Saints. The Ravens are coming off their bye and two weeks ago, they lost a divisional home game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. With uncertainty of who will start at quarterback with Joe Flacco hurt and Lamar Jackson dealing with an illness, give me the Bengals with a nice bounce back win.
Prediction: Cincinnati 27, Baltimore 23.
Oakland Raiders (1-8) at Arizona Cardinals (2-7)- 4:05, CBS: This is an awful football game. The Raiders are coming off a divisional home loss against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Cardinals are coming off a road loss in Kansas City against the Chiefs in which they cornered the big point spread. I like the Cards to get the win at home.
Prediction: Arizona 24, Oakland 17.
Denver Broncos (3-6) at Los Angeles Chargers (7-2)- 4:05, CBS: The Broncos are coming off their bye and two weeks ago they lost at home against the Houston Texans. The Chargers are coming off a divisional road win in Oakland against the Raiders. The Chargers and Philip Rivers are on a roll right now and I believe they'll win big here.
Prediction: LA Chargers 34, Denver 20.
Philadelphia Eagles (4-5) at New Orleans Saints (8-1)- 4:25, FOX: The Eagles are coming off a very disappointing Sunday night divisional home loss against the Dallas Cowboys. The Saints are coming off a dominant road win in Cincinnati against the Bengals. The Saints win streak will end at some point, but not this week. Saints win big at home.
Prediction: New Orleans 37, Philadelphia 26.
Minnesota Vikings (5-3-1) at Chicago Bears (6-3)- 8:20, NBC: Huge game here. The Vikings are coming off their bye and two weeks ago they won at home against the Detroit Lions. The Bears are coming off a divisional home win over those same Detroit Lions. Tough call, but give me the Bears at home in a close one.
Prediction: Chicago 23, Minnesota 20.
Monday, November 19th
Kansas City Chiefs (9-1) at Los Angeles Rams (9-1)- 8:15, ESPN: Too bad the game got moved to LA due to the poor field conditions in Mexico City. The Chiefs are coming off a home win over the Arizona Cardinals. The Rams are coming off a divisional home win over the Seattle Seahawks. Mexico City or LA, Rams win the game.
Prediction: LA Rams 38, Kansas City 31.
