2016 Week 11 NFL Predictions

Week 11 Predictions:

Bengals -2.5 over Bills, 27-23

-I still just don’t trust the Bills’ discipline or firepower at WR. Bengals need this to save their season.

Steelers -8 over Browns, 31-20

-The Browns could surprise cover with a late score, but the odds are this is a get right blowout by the Steelers. A loss bringing them to 4-6, especially with that 6^th loss being in division, could be an early final straw for the Steelers. And that would be sad.

Ravens +7 over Cowboys, 22-20

-I tend to believe in the Ravens tough run defense, and think this will at least be a close game. This could be a good, subtly underrated game actually.

Jags +7.5 over Lions, 23-27

-Just too many points.

Titans +2.5 over Colts, 27-24

-In what world is Tennessee getting points here? Am I missing something? Tennessee is just a flat out better team.

Bucs +7.5 over Chiefs, 21-22

-Too many points again, especially against a team that can’t score. I still don’t trust Jameis in close games though, so Chiefs eke out another close victory.

Cards +2.5 over Vikings, 23-20

-Both teams are kind of a mess, but at least the Cards are winning some of their games in the last month.

Giants -7.5 over Bears, 27-17

-Bears had their run of semi competence. I believe it is now over, and their end of season downtown will be rapid. Cutler could be monstrously bad, and they don’t have a ton of other options. The Giants are in the race, and will win this fairly easily.

Fins -2 over Rams, 20-10

-I have to take the team playing reasonably well versus the offensively challenged Rams playing a rookie QB. Even though I could not be more excited about finally seeing Goff….and seeing Jeff Fisher have to do the logical thing despite himself. You know this is ending with the Rams at 7-9, right?

Pats -11 over 49ers, 34-20

-Even without Gronk, this should be an easy win. Big game for Martellus Bennett coming. Kaep is a sneaky fantasy play as the Pats defense has been porous and the Niners should be behind.

Seahawks -6.5 over Eagles, 24-16

-Seahawks are starting to roll, and Carson might have his first true horrible game versus this ascending defense.

Ethnic Slurs -2.5 over Packers, 31-27

-Oh boy. Taking Washington over my Super Bowl prediction Packers, and I feel good about it too. Tough times for Mr. Rodgers’ neighborhood.

Raiders -5.5 over Texans, 30-16

-One could interpret this as offense versus defense. I choose to think of it as a team that can score against a team that cannot.
