NFL 2010 Week 11 Predictions

WEEK 11 NFL predictions and statements:

My top 8: previous ranking in parenthesis

1. Atlanta (3) – They proved they can win close games, and this is a well built team.

2. New England (4) – I am giving them the benefit of the doubt with the Cleveland game, and I think they beat Indy this week.

3. Baltimore (2) – They slip only a little with a loss, because it was to my number 1 team.

4. Indianapolis (5) – They won, and are figuring out how to win games. I am excited for this week.

5. New York Giants (1) – To the Cowboys? Well, this could be their Cleveland-NE game.

6. New Orleans (7) – They didn’t lose.

7. Green Bay (8) – They didn’t lose either.

8. Philadelphia (NR) – I have to rank them after that EXPLOSIVE performance. They may not win anything in the playoffs, but you what? Take the over.

Dropped Out: Pittsburgh – Injuries and inconsistency

My bottom 4: previous ranking in parenthesis

29. Washington (NR) – Welcome to the basement Ethnic Slurs.

30. Detroit (NR) – Without Stafford, this will get bad.

31. Denver (31) – Tim Tebow anyone?

32. Carolina (32) – Tony Pike anyone?

NFL 2010 week 11 picks:

Chicago +2 over Miami, 24-13

-There is no way Miami can win set up like this. Plus, analysts might explode if Chicago is 7-3, and that would entertain me.

Baltimore -9 over Carolina, 31-3

-I think the Ravens smell weakness over in Pittsburgh and turn on their best from here on out. Carolina is terrible and this could be epically bad.

Cincinnati -5 over Buffalo, 28-17

-That was nice Buffalo, but this is one team the Bengals are actually better than.

Cowboys +7 over Lions, 27-17

-Lions have good effort, but the Cowboys are hitting right now, and they will roll over Detroit here.

Cardinals +9 over Chiefs, 20-16

-Chiefs win a grinder, and Derek Anderson makes a late mistake to seal it.

Packers -3 over Vikings, 31-21

-Packers blast Favre, and seize their division. This week might see the end of Favre and Childress, though Peterson should have a great game.

Texans +7 over Jets, 24-23

-The Jets have won several they shouldn’t have, and to a lesser degree the Texans have lost some they shouldn’t have. The Texans have to have their bounce back game, and I think this is it.

Raiders +8.5 over Steelers, 17-21

-Steelers are not great, but they are good enough to beat the Raiders.

Titans -5.5 over Washington, 27-10

-This might be more grinding than the Eagles victory, but I think it will as total.

Saints -11.5 over Seahawks, 34-7

-This could be ugly. Saints roll.

Falcons -3 over St. Louis, 24-17

-This is a better game than most think, especially the schedule makers back in August. However, the Falcons are better, and take care of business here. STL cannot stop the run and Michael Turner should have a big game.

Patriots -3 over Colts, 31-27

-These games are always close, but the Colts are too beat up and this game is in NE. I think NE gets out ahead early, and Manning makes it close late. Big games out of Reggie Wayne and Ben Jarvis Green-Ellis.

NYG-PHI could be many things, but it will be OVER

Chargers -10 over Broncos, 35-21

-Obviously, the over is in play here, even though it is 49. Chargers need this, and the Broncos burnt out last week.
