NFL WEEK 11 PREDICTIONS

Total Record: 95-52 (.646)
Byes: Cowboys, Rams

1. New York Jets at Buffalo Bills

Thoughts: The Jets are coming off of a bye week and the Bills haven't had a break since the season started. Besides the fact that the Bills haven't played well, the fatigue factor is probably going to tilt the game in Gang Green's favor.

Pick: Jets

2. Baltimore Ravens at Chicago Bears

Thoughts: The Ravens haven't been consistent on offense this year, but their defense has played very well. The Bears' defense isn't good, but I think the fact that they're at home will help them considerably.

Pick: Bears

3. Cleveland Browns at Cincinnati Bengals

Thoughts: Speaking of teams that aren't consistent on offense, the Bengals everybody! The Browns are coming off of a bye and Jason Campbell has played well. The battle of Ohio will go to the eastern side of the state in this tilt.

Pick: Browns

4. Oakland Raiders at Houston Texans

Thoughts: Terrell Pryor is out, which makes an already flawed Raiders team that much more vulnerable. Case Keenum will get his first win as a Houston Texan.

Pick: Texans

5. Arizona Cardinals at Jacksonville Jaguars

Thoughts: The Jaguars got their first win an promptly lost their best player on defense, Paul Posluszny, for at least a week with a concussion. Even when something goes right for the Jags, something else punches them in the balls.

Pick: Cardinals

6. San Diego Chargers at Miami Dolphins

Thoughts: The Dolphins are imploding, so even though the Chargers have to travel to the east coast, I don't think that's going to hurt them much with a revitalized Philip Rivers at the wheel.

Pick: Chargers

7. San Francisco 49ers at New Orleans Saints

Thoughts: Colin Kaepernick has returned to Twitter to find inspiration. Unfortunately for him, he picked a bad week for it. The Saints are damn near unbeatable in the Super Dome.

Pick: Saints

8. Green Bay Packers at New York Giants

Thoughts: Aaron Rodgers still isn't ready to come back, and the Packers have had trouble in the last few seasons against the G-Men even with number 12 under center. The Giants have won three in a row and will likely make it four this week.

Pick: Giants

9. Washington Redskins at Philadelphia Eagles

Thoughts: Tough call, what with Washington playing poorly and the Eagles having yet to win a game at home. Nick Foles has been great since taking over the starting job, so I have to think that the bird's home losing streak will likely come to an end with a sweep of their division rivals.

Pick: Eagles

10. Detroit Lions at Pittsburgh Steelers

Thoughts: Speaking of streaks that will likely be snapped this week, the Lions haven't beaten the Steelers in Pittsburgh since 1955 (!). If I'm Ben Roethlisberger, I'd be incredibly rich. But I'd also be worried about facing the Lions' D-line with an offensive line as bad as the Steelers'. Also, you may have heard, but Calvin Johnson and Reggie Bush are really good.

Pick: Lions

11. Minnesota Vikings at Seattle Seahawks

Thoughts: Never bet against the Seahawks at home.

Pick: Seahawks

12. Atlanta Falcons at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Thoughts: If this game was in the Georgia Dome, I'd probably go with the Falcons. But Atlanta's on the road this week and they don't play well in the open air. Two in a row for Tampa Bay.

Pick: Buccaneers

13. Kansas City Chiefs at Denver Broncos

Thoughts: I already gave my thoughts on Peyton Manning here, and that leads in to what I feel will be the deciding factor. The Chiefs' defense is going to get to Manning, hit him, and likely cause a good number of turnovers. The Chiefs' offense doesn't make many mistakes. Plus, Andy Reid's teams are an astounding 13-1 coming off of byes. Even though they're on the road, advantage goes to Kansas City.

Pick: Chiefs

14. New England Patriots at Carolina Panthers

Thoughts: The Panthers are actually favored in this game, which could be good news for the Pats. But probably not against that front seven of the Panthers. I predict a long night for Tom Brady.

Pick: Panthers
