Week 11 Picks

Thursday Night Game:
Chicago +1.5 @ Miami
Mike: Chicago. Jay Cutler, love 'em or hate 'em (does anybody outside his own mother love him?), he has helped lead the Bears to a 7-3 record. Even ugly wins count. They win ugly again tonight.
Joe: Miami. Apparently Tyler Thigpen isn't all I thought he was. Brandon Marshall getting hurt doesn't help. Thanks a lot guys. Miami is 1-4 at home, must be from the great fan support in this great sports town.
Final - Chicago 16-0 (J0-1, M1-0)

Oakland +7 @ Pittsburgh
Mike: PIT. I'm really (x4) hoping for the upset but it's not going to happen.
Joe: Oak. I'm really really really really hoping for an upset here. I think it might happen.
Final: PIT big. (J0-2, M2-0)

Houston +6.5 @ NY Jets
Mike: HOU. Jets have had back to back OT games which has to be wearing on them.
Joe: Hou. Its time for one of those Jets lucky wins to turn into a loss.
Final: NYJ by 3. (J1-2, M3-0)

Baltimore -13 @ Carolina
Mike: BAL. The Ravens are capable of a lopsided win. This will be that time.
Joe: Bal. At least I'm not a Carolina fan. Will it be the LA Panthers soon??
Final: BAL by 24. (J2-2, M4-0)

Washington +7 @ Tennessee
Mike: TEN. The Redskins are a mess and only getting worse.
Joe: Ten. I'm counting on the Washington team that showed up last week to play again this week. Also counting on Moss to show up, maybe 3 catches this week??
Final: WAS by 3. (J2-3, M4-1)

Detroit +6 @ Dallas
Mike: DAL. The Cowboys aren't as bad as their record so I see a big win here.
Joe: Dal. With Wade out the sky's the limit for the Cowboys. I see a close game in the 30s here.
Final: DAL by 16. (J3-3, M5-1)

Green Bay -3 @ Minnesota
Mike: MIN. This is a tough game to pick. Going with the home team.
Joe: Min. I still believe in magic. Peterson's magic. And Sydney Rice is back so there it is. A Vikings win.
Final: GB big. (J3-4, M5-2)

Buffalo +4.5 @ Cincinnati
Mike: CIN. Ryan Fitzpatrick really needs to shave that goat beard of his.
Joe: Cin. Ochocinco celebrates his engagement with his best performance of the year. Carson Palmer keeps it close with a couple INTs but Cincy pulls away late.
Final: BUF big. (J3-5, M5-3). We're both dumb.

Cleveland +2.5 @ Jacksonville
Mike: CLE. The Browns? To win? Believe it.
Joe: Cle. Tough game for the Browns with Cribbs out but I think they let the Colt a little more loose this time out against a terrible Jags D. Expect lots of scores and a Browns win.
Final: JAX by 4. (J3-6, M5-4)

Arizona +7 @ KC
Mike: KC. It's amazing to me how Kurt Warner transformed the Cards into a Super Bowl team.
Joe: KC. This is the week KC proves its a playoff team and Arizona proves they should have given up this season when Warner retired. They could also use Leinert right about now.
Final: KC big. (J4-6, M6-4)

Seattle +11.5 @ NO
Mike: SEA. Pretty sure the Saints can handle the Seahawks but this is too many points to give. Saints are getting Reggie back just in time.
Joe: NO. With Bush back New Orleans is back as a Super Bowl contender. Watch Colston's numbers go up as well.
Final: NO by 15. (J5-6, M6-5)

Atlanta -3.5 @ St Louis
Mike: ATL. I like Sam Bradford and think he'll turn around the franchise much like Matt Ryan has done for the Falcons.
Joe: StL. The Rams have been pretty good at home and I think the week off will show some rust on the Falcons. The Rams jump out early but allow the Falcons to come back and win late.
Final: ATL by 17. (J5-7, M7-5)

Tampa Bay +3.5 @ San Fran
Mike: TB. I don't know how the Bucs have been so successful so I'm going with them instead of my instincts here.
Joe: SF. The 49ers really found something in Troy Smith. He makes the difference in this win over the Bucs.
Final: TB big. (J5-8, M8-5)

Indianapolis +4 @ New England
Mike: NE. This will be a great game to watch. It's fun to watch these offenses.
Joe: Ind. Give me Peyton Manning and points.
Final: NE by 3. (J6-8, M8-6). The points were enough.

New York Giants +3.5 @ Philadelphia
Mike: PHI. How could anybody bet against Mike Vick? He's the hottest thing in football since, well, Michael Vick.
Joe: Phi. I believe in Mike Vick. Last week was amazing and this week will be pretty good too.
Final: Phi by 10. (J7-8, M9-6)Lots of Manning face yesterday.

Denver +9.5 @ San Diego
Mike: SD. Who was it that destroyed the Broncos in Denver?
Joe: Den. Denver has enough offense to cover but not enough to make it feel like they can win.
Final: SD by 21. (J7-9, M10-6) Phil Rivers is the MVP so far.
