Nfl games week 11

Arizona Cardinals. Seattle Seahawks. Dallas Cowboys. Kansas City Chiefs. Cincinnati Bengals. Las Vegas Raiders. New Orleans Saints. Philadelphia Eagles. Miami Dolphins. New York Jets. WHEN: 1 p. Washington Football Team.

Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis Colts. Buffalo Bills. Facing Lovie Smith's predictable Texans defense should help unlock the Titans' offense one week after they ran it 29 times for 66 yards. Yet I still can't trust Tennessee as such a big favorite in a division matchup with so little firepower.

Tyrod Taylor should make Houston's offense more professional after a rough outing in his first game back from a hamstring injury.

The Packers are barely favored against the Vikings, a sign that Minnesota's underlying statistics are strong and that Vegas still believes regression's coming for the Pack. This Green Bay squad has defied expectations all season, winning nine straight against the spread with a defense that is greater than the sum of its parts and an offense that does just enough. I loved the newfound aggressiveness the Vikings showed last week , and they are talented enough to pull off the upset, but something special has been brewing in Green Bay all season that is hard to quantify, but you know it when you see it.

That's me, giving up on real analysis. But seriously, have you watched this team? Justin Fields has made terrific progress. Facing Baltimore is a great test of how much progress. There are holes in the Ravens' secondary that can be exploited, but coordinator Wink Martindale will test the Bears' protection schemes before Fields can let go of any rainmakers.

More importantly, this Chicago defense wasn't special even with Khalil Mack and Eddie Jackson on the field, as they should be again in this game.

This is usually the time of year when the Ravens' defense begins to sort out its problems. Here's a game between two teams heading in the wrong direction, trying to dunk the other under water while reaching for a life raft. The Bengals' defense gave up monster games to Mike White and Baker Mayfield before the bye week, burning the goodwill it built up early in the season. Since I can't pick "stay away," let's go with the Raiders. I'm not going to get too complicated here.

But if Kyler Murray returns from injury, the Cardinals are still the most complete team in the NFL until proven otherwise. My pick here ultimately depends on Kyler's status. He participated in Wednesday's practice, saying he's hopeful to start on Sunday. If that ends up being the case, the Cardinals covering is my favorite pick of the week, in part because Russell Wilson did not look remotely ready a week ago.

The betting lines above are current as of p. ET on Sunday. I'd feel better making this pick if the Cowboys had Randy Gregory or DeMarcus Lawrence available, but try to take the long view here. Even if Kansas City's offense is on its way back , there's no chance I trust it more than this Dallas attack. The Cowboys' weapons have dominated all year; the Chiefs were dominant for one game.

The return of Michael Gallup -- and possibly left tackle Tyron Smith this Sunday -- makes the 'Boys even more fearsome, and their defense has also been far better all season than the surging Chiefs' unit. When it comes to picks, the hardest decision to make is whether you evaluate a team based on the last week, the last month, the entire season or go even further back.

The Chiefs present a particularly challenging case because of their track record, but there's just no question the Cowboys have been a superior team on both sides of the ball. I believe Dallas is ready for a win like this. This game is tough to pick early in the week.

These aren't just starters, but most of Pittsburgh's best players. These Chargers can't do much well lately on defense, and that'd be doubly true without their best D-linemen.

That said, the Steelers have one of the few offenses that isn't positioned to take advantage. Check back later in the week. Claypool is expected to play.

The Giants' defense was trending up before the team's bye week, and the offense could get back Saquon Barkley. Daniel Jones may have Barkley, Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney at full throttle for just the second time all season; in the first, they piled up nearly yards in a win at New Orleans.

While I'm not too concerned about Tom Brady 's sluggish start against Washington , the Bucs' defense was springing leaks in the secondary even before Vita Vea got hurt. Look for another Giants cover on Monday night, just a few weeks after they kept it close against the Chiefs.

This game had a chance to be fun before Cordarrelle Patterson got hurt; and tight end Hayden Hurst 's injury shouldn't be ignored, either. Patterson is a game-time decision, but it doesn't sound promising. The Patriots' front seven has keyed their defensive turnaround, with Matt Judon and Christian Barmore winning more one-on-one matchups than any tandem since Chandler Jones was in the building.

Dont'a Hightower , who made the biggest play in this matchup's most famous game , has also turned the corner. That will be the most easily accessible game of the Sunday afternoon slate. That said, a lot of major TV markets will see the Bengals-Raiders game in the late window.

It's CBS' lone p. ET game, but more viewers are likely to tune into the Chiefs-Cowboys game in that time slot. NFL coverage maps courtesy of sports.

Last year, the Buccaneers were able to escape with a win in another Monday night game.

Tom Brady has performed well against the Giants in the regular season, but most of his career games against them, playoffs included, have been close.
