Week 11 Predictions: TIme for Patriots to Move On

By Dan Shouse

The Patriots and Colts last week was like one of those games on John Madden Football where you would have hit the reset button on your PS3, started over, and acted like the first game never happened. It is time to erase the debacle that was last week and move on. It never happened. It was all just a bad dream. I feel better already.

Here are this weeks picks.

Patriots 28 Jets 13

The Patriots are a much better team than the one the Jets saw back in week 2. The Jets are not the same team either. After looking great the first 3 games, the Jets have come crashing back down to earth. Rex Ryan will be crying again this week.

Giants 23 Falcons 17

This is huge game for both teams. The winner will stay alive in the NFC playoff race, and the loser could be done. The Giants are coming off a bye, and the Falcons are without Michael Turner. It all adds up to another tough day for Matt Ryan.

Chargers 34 Broncos 17

What a difference a month makes. After starting 6-0, the Broncos are really struggling. The Chargers started slow, but are now playing their best ball of the year. Add in the fact that the Broncos may have Chris Simms under center, and things could go from bad to worse for Josh McDaniels. Make it four straight losses for Denver.

Redskins 27 Cowboys 20

This has been the time of year that the Cowboys start to struggle. Last week they put up a stinker against Green Bay. This time they will be getting booed at home. The Redskins looked good with Ladell Betts carrying the load against the Broncos a week ago. The past 2 games Washington has shown signs of life. It will continue this week as the Redskins pull off another upset.

Lions 10 Browns 6

I thought that last Sunday's game between Oakland and KC was the worst match up of the year. I was wrong. This game is worse. The Lions will get the job done at home.

Packers 16 49ers 14

The 49ers defense looked great against the Bears, and were solid against the Colts a few games back. The problem is on offense. Frank Gore cannot do it alone. The Pack will keep Aaron Rodgers from getting sacked just enough for him to get Green Bay the win.

Steelers 35 Chiefs 10

The Steelers potent offense was kept out of the end zone against the Bengals last game. They will have no such problems against the Chiefs. Steelers dominate from start to finish.

Vikings 31 Seahawks 16

The Seahawks have struggled on the road, and the Vikings are playing as well as anybody right now. Vikings get an easy win.

Saints 33 Buccaneers 21

The Rams nearly pulled off a big upset against the Saints last game. The Saints learned their lesson. They will eliminate the mistakes and turnovers that almost cost them the game against the Rams. The Bucs have looked better since Josh Freeman took over the starting QB spot, but the Saints will do enough to stay unbeaten.

Colts 27 Ravens 7

Speaking of unbeaten teams, the Colts will continue to roll in Baltimore. Peyton Manning will not need any last minute heroics this time around, as he keeps Indy perfect.

Jaguars 21 Bills 7

The Bills have a new coach, but they will have the same results. The Jags have been playing much better the last 3 weeks, and will find themselves in the middle of the race for a wild card spot after beating Buffalo.

Cardinal 38 Rams 13

Kurt Warner will come back to haunt his old team. Cardinals remain undefeated on the road this season, and in firm control of the NFC West.

Bengal 20 Raiders 3

Cedric Benson may be out, but it will not matter. The Raiders cannot stop the run no matter who they are playing. Bernard Scott will do fine filling in for the injured Benson.

Eagles 24 Bears 14

With Brian Westbrook likely done for the year, look for the Eagles to air it out. Jay Cutler continues to struggle for the Bears, and look for him to throw at least 2 picks this time out. Eagles get back in position to win the NFC East.

Texans 28 Titans 24

The Texans have a chance to creep closer to a playoff spot for the first time in team history. If they are going to get the win, they have to do something no other team has been able to do - stop Chris Johnson. This is one of the bigger games in Houston Texans history. Expect them to step and get the win.
