NFL Week 11 Predictions

!Upset
*Big Game
**Game of the Week

Darrelle Revis

*New York Jets (5-4) v.s. Denver Broncos (4-5) (NYJ -3, O/U 38)
     It could be very likely that the Jets have a let down game after their disappointing loss to New England. I think though that the Jets defense will step up and do just enough to beat Tim Tebow and the Broncos.
New York 24-17
Spread: New York
O/U: Over


Jacksonville Jaguars (3-6) v.s. Cleveland Browns (3-6) (JAC -1, O/U 34)
     This game will be very low scoring. Neither of these teams have good quarterbacks who make plays consistently. Even though Jacksonville has the better defense and the best play maker on the field in Maurice Jones-Drew, Cleveland has had some bad luck this season and will finally have some things go their way. Colt McCoy has a nice day as Cleveland gets the win.
Cleveland 17-14!
Spread: Cleveland 
O/U: Under


Carolina Panthers (2-7) v.s. Detroit Lions (6-3) (DET -7, O/U 48)

Charles Woodson

     The Lions have lost three out of four and this week needs to be the week that the Lions get back on track before they face the Packers on Thanksgiving. The Panthers are reeling as well as their offense does not look nearly as prolific as it did early on in the season. I think the Lions d-line will get after Cam Newton, making him struggle as the Lions notch the W.
Detroit 27-14
Spread: Detroit
O/U: Under


Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-5) v.s. Green Bay Packers (9-0) (GB -15, O/U 49)
     Warren Sapp and Derrick Brooks aren't lining up on the defensive side of the ball for the Bucs anymore. The Buccaneers have problems everywhere they look. I don't see the Packers losing and I don't expect this game to be close.
Green Bay 31-13
Spread: Green Bay 
O/U: Under


Buffalo Bills (5-4) v.s. Miami Dolphins (2-7) (MIA -3, O/U 43.5)

Christian Ponder

     You can tell how everyone is hopping off the Bills bandwagon with Miami being favored today. I smell a statement win coming from Buffalo with Ryan Fitzpatrick getting back on track as well as a dominant performance by the Bills defense.
Buffalo 42-7!
Spread: Buffalo
O/U: Over


Oakland Raiders (5-4) v.s. Minnesota Vikings (2-7) (OAK -1. O/U 45.5)
     Carson Palmer and the Raiders can really make a statement with a win over Minnesota today. Some things concern me however for the silver and black. They will be without key players Darren McFadden, Richard Seymour and Jacoby Ford while the Vikings are looking to rebound after being dismantled by Green Bay. Christian Ponder has shown flashes of being a very good quarterback in the future. I think he breaks out today as Minnesota defeats the Raiders.
Minnesota 31-20
Spread: Minnesota 
O/U: Over


*Dallas Cowboys (5-4) v.s. Washington Redskins (3-6) (DAL -8, O/U 42)
     The Cowboys had their fair share of problems scoring against the 'Skins earlier this year, but this is a different Cowboys team and a different Redskins team. I think the Redskins will be competitive in this game, but I like the balance the Cowboys have now and with their defense, I don't see the Cowboys losing this one today.

Ray Rice

Dallas 21-13
Spread: Washington
O/U: Under


**Cincinnati Bengals (6-3) v.s. Baltimore Ravens (6-3) (BAL -7, O/U 45)
     I expect this game to be very low scoring. Both teams have impact players on the sidelines today, most notably A.J. Green for the Bengals and potentially Ray Lewis for the Ravens. I think the Ravens will be able to run the ball very well with Ray Rice and their defense will keep Andy Dalton in check. The Ravens edge the Bengals to move to 7-3.
Baltimore 17-12
Spread: Cincinnati
O/U: Under


Seattle Seahawks (3-6) v.s. St. Louis Rams (2-7) (STL -3, O/U 39)

Sam Bradford

     If the Rams run the ball like they have done in their two victories, St. Louis will finish the season strong with 5-7 wins. I see them running the ball with Steven Jackson very effectively to set up Sam Bradford and the Rams passing attack. The Seahawks will have a let down game after their win against Baltimore last week and fall to St. Louis.
St. Louis 24-10
Spread: St. Louis
O/U: Under


Arizona Cardinals (3-6) v.s. San Francisco 49ers (8-1) (SF -10, O/U 41)
     This 49ers team is too well coached and are too high to have a letdown at home, right? I think so, but that doesn't mean John Skelton, Larry Fitzgerald and the Cardinals won't give the 49ers a game. San Francisco wins the turnover battle in the end as they edge the Cardinals at the Stick to move to 9-1.
San Francisco 23-20
Spread: Arizona
O/U: Over


*Tennessee Titans (5-4) v.s. Atlanta Falcons (5-4) (ATL -7, O/U 44)

Matt Forte

     The Falcons had a devastating loss last week but I think they are poised to bounce back this week against the Titans. The Titans are by no means a stellar team and the Falcons should be able to control the game if they protect the ball offensively. Tennessee will hang around, but the Falcons will move to 6-4.
Atlanta 26-20
Spread: Tennessee
O/U: Over


*San Diego Chargers (4-5) v.s. Chicago Bears (6-3) (CHI -4, O/U 46)
     This game is very interesting. San Diego is desperate for a win and even though they play in a weak AFC West, they don't want to fall behind two games. I think if San Diego can't bring pressure, they will have a long day trying to stop Matt Forte and the Chicago offense. I also think it is paramount that Phillip Rivers protects the ball. In a high scoring affair, Chicago outscores San Diego to move to 7-3.
Chicago 34-30
Spread: San Diego
O/U: Over


*Philadelphia Eagles (3-6) v.s. New York Giants (6-3) (NYG -6, O/U 45)
     Vince Young gets the start in the Meadowlands against a Giants team that has confused the likes of Tom Brady in the 2011 season. The Giants will dial up the defense tonight, Eli Manning will throw two touchdowns passes as the Giants move to 7-3, sending the Eagles to 3-7.

Andre Carter

New York 29-10
Spread: New York
O/U: Under


Kansas City Chiefs (4-5) v.s. New England Patriots (6-3) (NE -16, O/U 46.5)
     With Tyler Palko making his first start and the Patriots defense gaining more and more confidence, I don't see the Chiefs being able to hang around with Tom Brady and the prolific Patriots attack. Patriots, big.
New England 38-3
Spread: New England
O/U: Under
