Week 10 featured six underdogs pulling off upsets – Miami, New York (AFC), Tampa Bay, New Orleans, Houston, and Philadelphia spoiled a lot of predictions. Week 11 has huge ramifications has it has a staggering 9 divisional games out of the 15 game slate. Division crowns won’t be won this week but a win can certainly get a team one week closer to locking it up. Here are my Week 11 predictions…
Week 10 picks: 8-6, Cumulative picks: 90-57-1 (.611)
Week 11 Matchups & Predictions
(Thursday) New York Jets @ New England Patriots, 8:15 PM EST
The Jets are winners of two straight. The Patriots have won 7 in a row. One of these streaks will end and I’m pretty confident the home team will prevail.
Pick: Patriots win 26-13
Washington Commanders @ Miami Dolphins (Madrid, Spain) 9:30 AM EST
The Commanders season ended when Jayden Daniels got hurt. Meanwhile, the Dolphins win games that they have no business winning. I guess Miami is the better team in this game with all the injuries Washington has endured.
Pick: Dolphins win 27-20
Carolina Panthers @ Atlanta Falcons, 1:00 PM EST
The Falcons desperately need a win after losing four straight. I think the Panthers could give them issues. But I’m betting on Bijan Robinson at home delivering a win for the Falcons who currently are set to give their 9th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft to the Rams.
Pick: Falcons win 27-23
Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Buffalo Bills, 1:00 PM EST
The Bills win this game and here is why. 1) It’s in Buffalo and Tampa Bay will be away from the sunshine and warm weather. 2) The Buccaneers don’t need this game nearly as bad as Buffalo does. Buffalo is holding onto the 6th overall seed in the AFC playoff race. But a loss would allow the Kansas City Chiefs to slither their way back into the picture.
Pick: Bills win 30-23
Houston Texans @ Tennessee Titans, 1:00 PM EST
I’ll take Demeco Ryans and his strong defense vs. Cam Ward and the 32nd ranked offense.
Pick: Texans win 23-10
Chicago Bears @ Minnesota Vikings, 1:00 PM EST
Brian Flores dialed up a great game plan two weeks ago to upset the Lions. I think he does a similar job here against the Bears. The Vikings need this win to keep pace in the NFC standings. Meanwhile, the Bears have had a soft schedule as of late playing the Giants, Bengals, Saints, Commanders, and Raiders within the 6 weeks.
Pick: Vikings win 26-20
Green Bay Packers @ New York Giants, 1:00 PM EST
Since their undefeated talk after Week 2, the Packers are just 3-3-1. Jordan Love has not taken the next step in his career. He relies too much on throwing off script (trying to be Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers) rather than throwing to the intended space at the intended time.
With that being said, Green Bay has to win this game to stay in the...
