Week 11 NFL Predictions

Tampa Bay at Atlanta
Line: Buccaneers by 3
Byron Leftwich starting...seems ok, except he hasn't gotten regular snaps in over a year and he's counting on finding his rhythm against one of the toughest defenses in the league. In other words, not bloodly likely. Buccaneers 17, Falcons 10

Arizona at Cincinnati
Line: Bengals by 3
I don't care what anybody says, going from futile to mediocre is progress, so these teams have a lot to be proud of. Oh and despite their bad record, not a single Bengal has committed a felony this year, that's a good thing right? Bengals 24, Cardinals 13

Kansas City at Indianapolis
Line: Colts by 14.5
My mama done told me don't never pick against Peyton Manning after he threw six interceptions the week before. Besides, with LJ, the Chiefs offense is mediocre. Without him, it's just plain miserable. Brodie will be on his back more than Jenna Jameson. Colts 34, Chiefs 10

San Diego at Jacksonville
Line: Jaguars by 3
I just wanted to point out how hilarious Norv looked witnessing his team's near-meltdown against the Colts. He just looked like he wanted to jump into an abyss. That's probably how Charger fans will feel after he mismanages another game this week. Jaguars 21, Chargers 17

Oakland at Minnesota
Line: Vikings by 4.5
No AD would spell doom for most teams, but when your backup's Chester Taylor and the team you're playing made Ron Dayne look like a Pro Bowler, suddenly things start to look optimistic for you. Vikings 20, Raiders 10

Cleveland at Baltimore
Line: Browns by 3
Brian Billick still hasn't found a QB in ten years. Anyone know how he still has a job and how much he's paying Cunningham under the table for making him look good in Minnesota? Browns 24, Ravens 16

Carolina at Green Bay
Line: Packers by 9.5
Vinny was a seasoned veteran by the time Favre was a rookie and Favre was considered aging and "past his prime" coming into the season. So what does that make Vinny? Packers 31, Panthers 10

New Orleans at Houston
Line: Texans by 1.5
Houston, don't fail me this week. I'm still holding out that faint hope that you'll somehow find a way to make the playoffs. Meanwhile, New Orleans, I got nothing to say, the last five weeks you've made me look bad, first, by me doubting you and then by letting me down when I finally believed in you. You're blacklisted for the season for that! Texans 21, Saints 19

Miami at Philadelphia
Line: Eagles by 9.5
Miami has the Dolphins, they have to get one win, 'cause if they don't they'll go down as the NFL's worst football team. They can't throw through the air or run on the ground they're never in control, and when you hear people laughing it's 'cause some idiot blurted out "Dolphins' Super Bowl." 'Cause we're the Miami Dolphins, Miami Dolphins, Miami Dolphins in last place. We're the Miami Dolphins, Miami Dolphins, Miami Dolphins in last place. Eagles 16, Dolphins 13

New York Giants at Detroit
Line: Giants by 2.5
Feel the growl! It's those Lions on the prowl. They may have been running backwards against Arizona, but they'll figure out how to get it back in first against the Giants. If they just run a little, it'll open up Kitna to gun down his full arsenal against a suspect Giants' secondary. Lions 27, Giants 24

Pittsburgh at New York Jets
Line: Steelers by 9.5
Nothing except motorcycles can stop Big Ben right now. OK, there's my lame motorcycle joke for the year. Kellen Winslow Jr, you're next! Steelers 31, Jets 17

Washington at Dallas
Line: Cowboys by 11
Grandpa Gibbs oughta take a cue out of Parcells' book and walk out with his dignity before he coaches this team any further into the ground. Dallas is clicking on all cylinders and not even a silly little rivalry can stand in their way. Cowboys 31, Redskins 21

St. Louis at San Francisco
Line: Rams by 3
In most circumstances, I'd have a real problem with picking a one-win team on the road, but that's exactly how bad the Niners looked on Monday Night. In all honesty, last year's Raiders looked better at times on offense last year. Wow, if only we could match those two teams up. Has any NFL game ever ended in a 0-0 tie with OT, b/c that one may have that kind of futile offense-potential. Rams 21, 49ers 7

Chicago at Seattle
Line: Seahawks by 4.5
Rex Grossman alert! Rex Grossman alert! Warning, interceptions may be more frequent than they appear! Warning, fumbled snaps may be more common than they appear! Seahawks 17, Bears 7

Buffalo at New England
Line: Patriots by 16
Buffalo will be playing with a lot of emotion at home, but will it be enough to stop the imminent undefeated season the Pats are headed for? Not without Marshawn Lynch. Patriots 31, Bills 17

Tennessee at Denver
Line: Broncos by 2
No matter how bad the media dogs him out, Vince is a prime time player and has been since college, so of course he's saving his best stuff for Monday Night football. Denver's defense finally showed up last week, but it was against a struggling offense that was missing it's only real source of production. Titans 21, Broncos 14

Week 10 vs Spread 7-7
Week 10 Straight up 6-8
Season vs Spread 65-73-8
Season Straight up 90-54
