NFL Week 11 Picks: We’re Past the Midway Point

Heartbreak in Buffalo (what else is new?). No resistance for Kansas City (what else is new?). Tom Brady is in first place (what else is new?). It’s Week 11 and for as weird as this season has been, there are plenty of “business-as-usual” things going on in the NFL.

Without further ado, some picks:

Last week: 2-4

Season: 5-5-1

Carolina at Baltimore (-13)

Is this the week the Ravens finally get a big lead and make it stand? I think it is, especially with Baker Mayfield back under center for floundering Carolina. Pick: Ravens.

Chicago at Atlanta (-3)

Atlanta needs to bounce back in a big way and the Bears, coming off a blown 14-point lead to Detroit, might just be the perfect team to do it against. Pick: Falcons.

Detroit at New York Giants (-3)

Hard to believe a 7-2 team is only a 3-point favorite over the Lions. Somebody likely knows something here. Pick: Lions.

Dallas (-1.5) at Minnesota

Emotional win for Minnesota last week. Justin Jefferson limited in practice. Angry Dallas team that just got upset in Green Bay. Minnesota can’t possibly be 9-1, can they? Pick: Cowboys.

Kansas City (-5) at Los Angeles Chargers

Kansas City gets to face yet another team with a ton of injuries. Yet the Chargers always seem to play KC tough. My hunch this one will be yet another gut-wrenching loss by the Chargers… but they’ll cover in the process. Pick: Chargers.
