NFL Week Eleven Recap


CHICAGO BEARS @ MIAMI DOLPHINS
Line: Dolphins -2.5
O/U: 40.5
My Pick: Bears +2.5. Chicago wins 20-10.
Result: Bears 16-0
See? Told you Thigpen was not the second coming of Marino.

HOUSTON TEXANS @ NEW YORK JETS
Line: Jets -7
O/U: 45.5
My Pick: Texans +7. Houston wins 17-13.
Result: Jets 30-27
The Jets love playing close games. But they're 9-2, so can the fans really complain?

WASHINGTON REDSKINS @ TENNESSEE TITANS
Line: Titans -7
O/U: 44
My Pick: Titans -7. Tennessee rolls 31-20.
Result: Skins 19-16 (ot)
Tennessee became awful overnight. I think it's all the Vince Young drama. At one point he was the league's top-rated passer. Now he's a distraction again. Go figure.

BUFFALO BILLS @ CINCINNATI BENGALS
Line: Bengals -5
O/U: 44
My Pick: Bills +5. Buffalo gets its first road win 17-14.
Result: Bills 49-31
There are certain things is life that you should never be ashamed of. Letting the Bills drop 49 points on you, including 35 in the second half after trailing 31-14, isn't one of them.

CLEVELAND BROWNS @ JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS
Line: Jaguars -1.5
O/U: 44
My Pick: Browns +1.5. Cleveland wins 23-20.
Result: Jaguars 24-20
The Jags are the worst 6-4 team I have seen in a long time...

GREEN BAY PACKERS @ MINNESOTA VIKINGS
Line: Packers -3
O/U: 44
My Pick: Vikings +3. Minnesota wins 23-17.
Result: Packers 31-3
So much for Favre beating the Packers in his last career start against them.

OAKLAND RAIDERS @ PITTSBURGH STEELERS
Line: Steelers -7
O/U: 41.5
My Pick: Steelers -7. Pittsburgh wins 27-10.
Result: Steelers 35-3
Surprise, surprise. The Raiders aren't for real. Who saw that coming?

BALTIMORE RAVENS @ CAROLINA PANTHERS
Line: Ravens -10.5
O/U: 37.5
My Pick: Ravens -10.5. Baltimore wins 37-10.
Result: Ravens 37-13
Ed Reed is the man!

DETROIT LIONS @ DALLAS COWBOYS
Line: Cowboys -6
O/U: 46
My Pick: Cowboys -6. Dallas wins 30-20.
Result: Cowboys 35-19
Dallas seems to be putting things back together. Too little too late, though.

ARIZONA CARDINALS @ KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
Line: Chiefs -7.5
O/U: 44
My Pick: Chiefs -7.5. KC Rolls 33-13.
Result: Chiefs 31-13
Man, I was so close...I don't think I've predicted an exact score all year!

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS @ SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS
Line: 49ers -3
O/U: 41.5
My Pick: 49ers -3. San Fran wins 26-20.
Result: Bucs 21-0
Pathetic. I can't remember the last time a team was supposed to be good and was THIS bad. The Cowboys are close, but at least we've seen them do some good things. The 49ers are just plain awful.

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS @ NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
Line: Saints -12
O/U: 44
My Pick: Saints -12. New Orleans waffle-stomps the Seahawks 45-10.
Result: Saints 34-19
Not as bad as it could have been...

ATLANTA FALCONS @ ST. LOUIS RAMS
Line: Falcons -3
O/U: 43
My Pick: Falcons -3. Atlanta wins 27-14.
Result: Falcons 34-17
Atlanta has been beating the teams they should beat...that's the sign of a solid, consistent team. They may have the mental makeup to make it to the Super Bowl this year!

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS @ NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
Line: Pats -3.5
O/U: 50
My Pick: Colts +3.5. Indy wins 27-24.
Result: Pats 31-28
I was thinking about picking the Pats by 3...oh well, it still counts as an ATS win.

NEW YORK GIANTS @ PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
Line: Eagles -3
O/U: 48
My Pick: Eagles -3. Philly wins 27-17.
Result: Eagles 27-17
WOOHOOOOOOO! I called an exact score! First one of the year...and I was close on the Chiefs game, too! Let's hope I can stay this locked-in for the rest of the year.

DENVER BRONCOS @ SAN DIEGO CHARGERS
Line: Chargers -10
O/U: 50.5
My Pick: Chargers -10. San Diego wins 31-20.
Result: Chargers 35-14
San Diego is getting better...I'll bet they end up 9-7 and win the West...
