Week 11... After my terrible performance last week I must say it's a good thing we aren't putting money on these picks. I'd be broke! Once more into the breech!

Tennessee at Pittsburgh 8:25 pm NFLN Heinz Field Steelers are rounding into form although they almost managed to give away the game against the Colts. Titans are on a mini-roll, although they almost managed to give away the game against the Bengals too. Still, Pittsburgh at home ... Big Ben and Antonio Brown. Maybe Mariota puts on a show? Maybe not. Steelers.

Arizona at Houston 1:00 pm FOX NRG Stadium Damn shame about Watson. Especially for the Texans because they are simply not the same team without him. As bad as the Cardinals are I think they can muster enough to win this one. Cardinals.

Baltimore at Green Bay 1:00 pm CBS Lambeau Field Brett Hundley is never going to be Aaron Rodgers. But I don't think he has to be to win this game. The Ravens ... i can't figure out what to expect from them. Lose to the Bears, throttle the Dolphins, lose to the Vikings. I just don't think they have anything on O though. Packers.

Detroit at Chicago 1:00 pm FOX Soldier Field Matthew Stafford. Mitchell Trubisky. Seems easy right? Lions.

Jacksonville at Cleveland 1:00 pm CBS FirstEnergy Stadium Jacksonville may be inconsistent but they do have a suffocating defense. Whereas the Browns have ... what? Jaguars.

Kansas City at N.Y. Giants 1:00 pm CBS MetLife Stadium The woebegone Giants.... lost to San Francisos! One lousy win this season. Kansas City OTOH... Okay they are not the team everyone thought when they were 5 - 0, but they're still good enough to beat the G-Men. Chiefs.

L.A. Rams at Minnesota 1:00 pm FOX U.S. Bank Stadium A good game, an interesting match-up. Rams have been piling up points and have a pretty good defense too. Case Keenum had the game of his career last week against the 'Skins. I doubt a repeat is in the cards. Rams.

Tampa Bay at Miami 1:00 pm FOX Hard Rock Stadium Just when you think they are dead, the Bucs, led by Ryan Fitzpatrick, rise up and beat the Jets. As for the Dolphins..... Neither one of these teams is going anywhere... But I can't take a team that got shutout 40 - 0 jut a couple of weeks ago. Bucs.

Washington at New Orleans 1:00 pm FOX Mercedes-Benz Superdome The Skins are at best an 8 - 8 team.... And the Saints ... well, I look for them to meet the Eagles in the NFC championship game. They are on a 7 - 0 run and if I had their running backs on my fantasy team they would have gotten me 74 points last week. And at home... in the Dome. Unbeatable. Saints.

Buffalo at L.A. Chargers 4:05 pm FOX StubHub Center Many thought the Bills were a contender. That was before getting their clocks cleaned, at home, last week by the Saints. The Chargers OTOH have found more ways to lose than I can remember... But I like them at home.... Chargers.

Cincinnati at Denver 4:25 pm CBS Sports Authority Field at Mile HighCan Denver sink any lower?! I guess we'll see. But the Bengals? They are snake-bitten too. But Andy Dalton at QB is better than any option the Broncos have... Bengals.

New England at Oakland 4:25 pm CBS Estadio Azteca I look at this match-up and think the Patriots see .... LUNCH! Patriots.

Philadelphia at Dallas 8:30 pm NBC AT&T Stadium Can the Cowboys recover from that debacle in Atlanta last week? Not against an Eagles team that is flying high, firing on all cylinders, etc etc. No joy for Jerry's 'Boys. Eagles.

Atlanta at Seattle 8:30 pm ESPN CenturyLink Field Did the Falcons turn a corner with that performance against Dallas last week? Up until recently a trip to Seattle was usually a sure-fire loss recipe. But that ain't necessarily so any more. And although I said I'd never take the Falcons again that was three weeks ago. Or maybe two... Well, never say never! Falcons.

No college picks this weekend ... except for

Georgia Tech over Duke. All the big games are next week.

Good luck to everyone!!!!!
