NFL Picks Week 11: The Way It Is

Despite standing below .500, the New Orleans Saints remain in first place in the laughingstock NFC South.  With a heartbreaking home loss now in the rearview mirror, the Saints look toward their next challenge, and a chance at a fresh start, against the Cincinnati Bengals.  The Bengals defense is just what the Saints need after last week's contest.  Now let's take a look at all of the Week 11 action and see if it has the potential to be as unpredictable as last week.

Last week I went 8-5

I told you so: Chiefs over Bills!

What do I know: Bengals over Browns?

WEEK 11

Thursday, November 13th

Bills(5-4) at Dolphins(5-4)

Falcons(3-6) at Panthers(3-6-1)

#savesmitty stays alive with a win in Carolina.

Pick: Falcons

Buccaneers(1-8) at Redskins(3-6)

Pick: Redskins

Broncos(7-2) at Rams(3-6)

Denver continues to beat the teams they're supposed to beat.

Pick: Broncos

***

49ers(5-4) at Giants(3-6)

Just as Jim Harbaugh owns Sean Payton, so too does Tom Coughlin own Jim Harbaugh.  Giants get a big upset at home.

Pick: Giants

***

Seahawks(6-3) at Chiefs(6-3)

Kansas City stuns Seattle with a huge win at home behind a rabid Arrowhead Stadium crowd.  This game is likely to feature 300-plus rushing yards combined.

Pick: Chiefs

Bengals(5-3-1) at Saints(4-5)

Even with Patrick Robinson and Corey White potentially starting at cornerback, Andy Dalton and Cincy may be in for a long day.  The Bengals are awful on the road, the Saints are "pretty good" at home, connect the dots folks.  AJ Green will get his, but the Saints should be in command in the Superdome.

Pick: Saints
