![]() ![]() ![]() So the teased over feels like the lock of all locks. A Lions home game hasn’t been decided by more than three points yet.Ĭonsidering the Lions have the worst defense in the league, I think the Jaguars will get their points one way or another. They’re 3-1 and have outscored those four opponents by a combined six points. The Bets: Detroit (+3) in a 3-way tease / Over (47.5) / Over (37.5) in a 3-way teaseĭetroit has played four home games. Jacksonville at Detroit (-7) | over/under 47.5 I’m no longer convinced the Cowboys offense can be slowed down by anyone.īaltimore will have to play perfect defense and try to make this game go by particularly quick, because as the 32nd ranked offense in football, they are particularly ill-equipped to get into a shootout or come back from a two-score deficit. I bring this up because the Ravens currently have the best run D in football according to. Remember when the Cowboys went into Green Bay and smart people like me thought the vaunted Packers run defense would slow down Zeke & Pals? The Packers had the best run D in the league at the time, and Elliott went ahead and ran for more than 150 yards. The Bets: Dallas (-1 or +3) in a 2-way or 3-way tease I think the Browns will come up just short. But don’t put anything past a Mike Tomlin team.Īnd I think all Browns fans would call Hue Jackson’s first season as head coach a success if they go 1-15 but the one win cripples their division rival’s chances of playing in January. But now the Steelers are fighting for their playoff lives so you’d think that would short circuit any chance of them overlooking Cleveland. The perfect Pittsburgh script was supposed to be a big win at home against Dallas followed up by the most incredible letdown game against the 0-10 Browns. Just keep repeating that if you get tempted by any sort of bet or teaser on the Steelers this week. The Bets: Cleveland (+19) in a 3-way tease / Over (36) in a 3-way tease ![]() Pittsburgh (-9) at Cleveland | over/under 46 Looks like I’m spot on in my 1st prediction of the week.) Just didn’t get a chance to publish this until Friday. (Note: I wrote all of that before Carolina won 23-20 on Thursday night. The Thursday night factor is definitely keeping me away from betting this, but I’ll bite on the extra half point and assume this is a very close win for the Panthers (who are unofficially eliminated from playoff contention, but officially fighting to help Ron Rivera keep his job). Get the extra point blocked, returned for two points by Denver (adding in the fact that the Broncos player who ran the ball back may have stepped out of bounds), and now the Saints are 1.5 games behind the Falcons. ![]() Make the extra point, and the Saints are looking at only a half game deficit for the division lead going into week 11. New Orleans at Carolina (-3.5) | over/under 53.5Ĭonsidering how the NFC South has been tightening up a bit over the last few weeks, the ending of the Saints/Broncos from week 10 looms LARGE. Teams on Bye: Atlanta, Denver, NY Jets, San Diego Let’s cut to the chase and dive into the week 11 picks. A “don’t overthink it” sort of week after suffering through my worst set of picks of the year last week. If I had to give an unexaggerated estimate, I’d say that a normal week this season saw me researching my picks for roughly 10 hours, and this week I’d put it closer to one hour. When historians look back on week 11 of the 2016 NFL season, they’ll talk at length about my heroic efforts to perform in the face of incredible adversity. So am I a hero for still pumping out a world class NFL blog and podcast ( listen on iTunes! ) in the same week that I started a grueling new job while also being more ill than I’ve been in the past five years? When looking up the definition of the word hero, you see phrases like “someone who is admired for courage” and “a person of superhuman qualities.” ![]()
