2023 Week 11 NFL Picks


Aaron Rodgers eyes a Week 16 return


Dallas Cowboys (-10.5)(LOCK) @ Carolina Panthers - Dallas laid the smack down on the Giants in week 1.  The Panthers should suffer a similar fate provided the Cowboys don't let their foot off the gas which is more than capable of happening given that the Cowboys let the Cardinals 

Pittsburgh Steelers(+4) @ Cleveland Browns - DeShaun Watson is out so they go to the rookie. The Steelers got it going by running the ball against the Packers although the Browns defense is a diffrent test.  Pickett will need to play better.

Chicago Bears (+10) @ Detroit Lions  - The Lions offense is firing on all cylinders.  Granted they weren't able to slow down the chargers but the Bears appear to be not an oiled machine even if Justin Fields is coming back off an injury.

Los Angeles Chargers @ Green Bay Packers (+3)  - The Chargers' offense looked great against the Lions  The Packers may be able to run the ball well against the Chargers though and being an east coast game could make the game go either way.

Arizona Cardinals (+4) @ Houston Texans - Kyler Murray still looks rusty at times while the Texans keep finding ways to win.

Tennessee Titans (+6.5) @ Jacksonville Jaguars -  The Jaguars struggled immensely against the 49ers but the Titans defense is not in the same league.  

Las Vegas Raiders @ Miami Dolphins (-12) -The Dolphins are slated to dominate the Raiders whose QB play held up against the Jets but likely will not be able to keep up with the Dolphins coming off a bye.  Although the turnaround lead by Antonio Pierce has been remarkable.  

New York Giants(+10)(LOCK) @ Washington Commanders - The Tommy Devito experience has been awful for Giants fans although they play a team that they have played well in the past.   Sam Howell is leading the league in passing yards although it would be nice for him to dominate in the first half rather than relying on 2nd half comebacks.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ San Francisco 49ers (-11) - Tampa Bay looks better than anticipated although the 49ers appear to be firing on ally cylinders with a new revamped pass rush with the addition of Chase Young.   

New York Jets (+7)  @ Buffalo Bills  - The Jets defense keeps putting them in games.  Can Zach Wilson do well enough to complete a series sweep against the Bills, maybe not although  the receiving corps of Garrett Wilson and Xavior Gipson looks promising.  

Seattle Seahawks (+1) @ Los Angeles Rams - Seattle put it together against the Commanders last week despite a poor showing from its offense in the first half.  The Rams look to be a bit aof a mess although they do get Stafford back.

Minnesota Vikings (+2) @ Denver Broncos - Both teams are playing much better than the lst few weeks.  The Vikings success looks great although the Broncos have made the Chiefs and Bills look ordinary in consecutive weeks and are playing at home.  

Philadelphia Eagles (+2.5) @ Kansas City Chiefs - The Chiefs offense has not looked as tight in recent weeks although there is the Andy Reid coaching factor to consider.  Nonetheless, throwing to AJ Brown appears to a cheat code while Kelce has et to create the same kind of gravity.
