Week 11 picks

Indianapolis Colts (6-3) vs Tennessee Titans (4-5)

Colts come in off a loss last week against the Rams at home. QB Andrew Luck completed 29 of 47 for 353 yards, 1 TD and 3 INTs. Colts running game has not scored since week six and their defense looked atrocious last week. Titans come in off a loss where they also lost starting QB Jake Locker for the season. They will now have to turn to Ryan Fitzpatrick who lost 3 out of the 4 games he started. RB Chris Johnson has struggled in yardage this season and the defense has hemorrhaged yardage to opposing offenses. Prediction: Colts

Cleveland Browns (4-5) vs Cincinnati Bengals (6-4)

Browns may be a sub .500 team but these two divisional rivals always play each other tough and always split during the season. Browns come in off their bye last week while the Bengals have lost the last two in a row. Browns won the last matchup so expect the Bengals to win this one. Prediction: Bengals

Oakland Raiders (3-6) vs Houston Texans (2-7)

Welcome to the backup quarterback bowl. These two teams have played atrocious all season and both find themselves without their starting quarterback. Raiders have lost their last two while the Texans haven't won since week two. Texans head coach Gary Kubiak will be back on the sidelines today while Raiders will be starting the undrafted rookie Matt McGloin at quarterback. Do not expect an exciting game. Prediction: Texans

Arizona Cardinals (5-4) vs Jacksonville Jaguars (1-8)

Cardinals come in off a win last week while Jags got their first win of the season last week. Jags do not have a strong enough offense to overcome the Cards defense. Prediction: Cardinals

Washington Redskins (3-6) vs Philadelphia Eagles (5-5)

Redskins come in off a loss last week against the Vikings while the Eagles have won two straight since starting quarterback Nick Foles. RGIII has struggled the last two weeks forcing their defense to be on the field way too long. Prediction: Eagles

Baltimore Ravens (4-5) vs Chicago Bears (5-4)

Ravens come in off an overtime win against the Bengals last week while the Bears come in off a loss last week against the Lions. Ravens running game has been nonexistent while the Bears have to play another week without starting quarterback Jay Cutler. QB Josh McCown gets the start again this week who hasn't thrown an interception so far. Prediction: Bears

New York Jets (5-4) vs Buffalo Bills (3-7)

Jets come in off a win last week while the Bills come in off three straight losses. The Jets have not won consecutive games, but the Bills have not played consistent at all. Prediction: Jets

Detroit Lions (6-3) vs Pittsburgh Steelers (3-6)

The Lions come in off a two game win streak while the Steelers come in off a win last week. Steelers have a great pass defense which should help against one of the most prolific offenses in the league. Prediction: Lions

Atlanta Falcons (2-7) vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Two of the worst teams in the NFL face off. Falcons last win was four weeks ago against the Bucs while the Bucs finally won their first game last week. Neither team is lighting it up offensively. Prediction: Falcons

San Diego Chargers (4-5) vs Miami Dolphins (4-5)

Chargers and Dolphins both come in off losses last week. Chargers have suffered from multiple losses due to injuries on their defense and at receiver which has been so detrimental to their season. Dolphins have found themselves in the news for all the wrong reasons but have loss tough close games most of the season. Prediction: Dolphins

San Francisco 49ers (6-3) vs New Orleans Saints (7-2)

One of the better games for the week. 49ers come in off a loss last week to the Panthers while Saints come in off a win against the Cowboys. Saints are one of the hardest teams to beat at home. Prediction: Saints

Minnesota Vikings (2-7) vs Seattle Seahawks (9-1)

Vikings come in off a win last week against the Redskins while the Seahawks have won their last five straight. Seahawks are impossible to beat at Century Link. Prediction: Seahawks

Green Bay Packers (5-4) vs New York Giants (3-6)

Packers come in off two straight losses while the Giants have won three straight. Packers are still without Aaron Rodgers and will start rookie quarterback Scott Tolzien. Giants defense has been a major disappointment this season. Prediction: Giants

Kansas City Chiefs (9-0) vs Denver Broncos (8-1)

Chiefs are the last undefeated team in the NFL but have done so without facing a quality team. Broncos only loss was two weeks ago against the Colts but have had a tough schedule all season. Quarterback Peyton Manning is playing on an ankle injury. This game will be a tough matchup for both teams. Prediction: Broncos

New England Patriots (7-2) vs Carolina Panthers (6-3)

The Patriots come in off a bye last week while the Panthers have won five straight. Patriots offense is high powered, but Carolina has one of the stingiest defenses in the league. This will be a better game than many may expect. Prediction: Patriots
