Week 11 in the National Football League

Here's your week 11 picks given to you this time while I'm awake.

Arizona at St. Louis
The Cardinals cannot run the ball, absolutely no running game whatsoever. This killed one of my fantasy teams this year. (DAMN YOU J.J. Arrington). St. Louis does enough at home on the turf to beat the Cards, especially since Mike Martz has been de facto fired.

Carolina at Chicago
Surprisingly good game this week. At the beginning of the year i bet no one thought this would be a good game. Thomas Jones is coming back this week but that is still not enough to beat a team that looks like the best in the NFC. Panthers win in a close game.

Detroit at Dallas
The Joey Harrington revival comes to a stop on the road. By the way what happened to Kevin Jones, he sharing carries with Artose Pinner and Shawn Bryson. Not a good sign in Detroit. Cowboys either win this one big or lose because karma catches up with them for winning a game they shouldn't have last week. I say karma is a week late and the Boys win this one.

Indy at Cincinnati
Its gonna be cold in Cincy, and the Colts are a dome team that doesn't play well in the cold. Yea but its still the Bengals who have exactly one win over a team with a winning record. Colts defense carries them to a win on the road. However, they cannot stop Chad Johnson or his dancing.

Jacksonville at Tennessee
Titans are horrible as evidenced by their loss to the Browns. Jags force a bunch of turnovers and get the win.

Miami at Cleveland
Home game in the cold for the Browns. Dolphins are notorious for playing crappy in cold weather so Browns win on the strength of the weather. Braylon Edwards better be starting, because the only thing that Dennis Northcut is catching is feelings.

New Orleans at New England
Pats D is bad against the run and the pass so this game will be close but i don't trust Aaron Brooks on the road. Usually he makes huge mistakes but still puts up numbers this year he hasn't even put up numbers. Pats win

Oakland at Washington
I still don't understand how this Redskins team wins games. I understand that their defense is well above average but that offense is not good. They've got Mark Brunell at quarterback and only one decent receiver. Raiders find a way to win in spite of having Norv Turner as a head coach. I think Norv gets canned at the end of the year.

Philly at Giants
Giants win, come on they're not starting Mike McMahhon. I don't want to hear about how athletic he is or how strong he is. He's got one of the worst completion percentage in the history of the league. And when you can't run the ball and he's your quarterback you're not in good shape. The Giants bounce back from a freak loss to the Vikings last week.

Tampa Bay at Atlanta
Who knows? Maybe if the Bucs can find a running game they win. Atlanta's sliding in the wrong direction.

Seattle at San Francisco
I'm jumping on the Seahawks bandwagon right now. They've been pounding people all year. Clearly one of the two best teams in the NFC.

Buffalo at San Diego
When i said in this space last week that the Bills wouldn't win the rest of the year, that was assuming that Kelly Holcomb would be their QB. He got hurt and they won, the trend does not continue, Bolts are too much on offense.

Jets at Denver
I'm watching this Denver team waiting for the collapse. When is Jake Plummer going to implode, when is Courtney Brown going to get hurt, when is Gerrard Warren going to stop playing? These things may not happen. But i think they will, and i'll think it'll happen at an inopportune time. Just not this week, the Jets may be the second worst team in the NFL.

Pittsburgh at Baltimore
Another team in the running for worst team in the NFL. At least i can say about the Browns season is that they are better than the Ravens. As for this game i hope the stadium implodes and i hope that Art Modell is in it.

K.C. at Houston
Texans get their second win of the year. The Chiefs continue to unravel on their way to a 7-9 record. I guess Jaws can throw out that Chief's Super Bowl Blueprint now. Dick Vermil cries.

Minnesota at Green Bay
Dare I say that the Vikings have righted the ship? ( i'm not sure if i've made that joke already, i am sure that it's not very funny but i don't care) I'm gonna go with Favre on Monday night in Green Bay where it feels like the Antarctic already.

That's it for the weekend i'll be up in Ann Arbor for the OSU-Meeeeechigan game. Back with full highlights on Monday as well as that P.Diddy shit.
