Now, onto the picks for Week 11.....

Last Week's Record: 8-6-0

Overall Record: 78-62-11

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

Chicago (+3) over ATLANTA: The Falcons are 4-6 and only a game back in the NFC South. The Bears are 3-2 but Justin Fields has really played great the last few weeks. I think the Bears pull the mini-upset on the road.

BALTIMORE (-12) over Carolina: The Ravens will take care of business at home over the 3-7 Panthers. Baltimore gets to 7-3 with the easy home win

BUFFALO (-7) over Cleveland: The 3-6 Browns will be dangerous once they get DeShaun Watson back from suspension, but they will fall short to the Bills, who have lost two straight games and sit at 6-3.

HOUSTON (+4) over Washington: The Commanders are coming in at 5-5 with a big win over Philly, but I have a feeling the Texans will play this game tough at home.

Philadelphia (-7) over INDIANAPOLIS: The Colts are 4-5-1 and beat the Raiders last week with interim head coach Jeff Saturday. Look for the Eagles to rebound from their first loss last week and get to 9-1.

Jets (+3) over NEW ENGLAND: The Pats continued their dominance over the Jets a few weeks ago, but I have a feeling the Jets will rebound and get revenge this time in Foxboro. This is a huge game in the AFC. The Jets are 6-3 and the Pats are 5-4. 

Rams (+4) over NEW ORLEANS: The Saints are 3-7 and going nowhere. The Rams are 3-6 and very disappointing this year. Look for the Rams to get the win on the road.

GIANTS (-3) over Detroit: The Giants are 7-2 and have found a way to win close games this year. The Lions are 4-6 and are not an easy out. I think it is a close game, but the G-Men will find a way.

Dallas (+2) over MINNESOTA: The Vikings are 8-1 and atop the NFC North. Dallas is 6-3 and looking to gain ground in the NFC East. I think both of these teams are headed to the playoffs. Look for the Cowboys to pull the upset on the road.

Cincinnati (-3) over PITTSBURGH: The Bengals are 5-4 and looking to avenge their awful Week 1 loss to the Steelers. Pittsburgh is 3-6 and on a down year, but this will be a close game. Cincy finds a way to win it late.

Kansas City (-5) over CHARGERS: KC is 7-2 and rolling to a top seed in the AFC. The Chargers are 5-4 and clinging to a wild card spot right now. I think the Chiefs go into LA and smack the Chargers around on SNF.

Arizona (+8) over San Francisco (Mexico City): The 49ers will win the game to get to 6-4 but I think the Cards will keep it close and entertaining. 

Week 11 TNF Pick

 Green Bay (+3) over TENNESSEE

Broncos-Titans and Week 10 Picks

The Broncos come off their bye heading to Tennessee to take on the Titans. I think it is a low-scoring game and will be close late, but Tennessee will find a way to take advantage of a Broncos mistake and win the game.

Prediction: TENNESSEE (-3) over Denver

Final Score: Titans-20 Broncos-13

Now, onto the quick picks for Week 10.....

Last Week's Record: 7-3-3

Overall Record: 70-56-11

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

Seattle (+3) over Tampa Bay (in Germany)

Minnesota (+3) over BUFFALO

CHICAGO (-3) over Detroit

KANSAS CITY (-9) over Jacksonville

MIAMI (-3) over Cleveland

GIANTS (-4) over Houston

PITTSBURGH (+2) over New Orleans

LAS VEGAS (-6) over Indianapolis

GREEN BAY (+5) over Dallas

RAMS (-1) over Arizona

Chargers (+7) over SAN FRANCISCO

PHILADELPHIA (-10) over Washington 

Week 10 TNF Pick

 Atlanta (-2) over Carolina

Week 9 Picks

The Broncos are on a bye this week, so here are the picks for Week 9...

Last Week's Record: 5-9-1

Overall Record: 63-53-8

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

Chargers (-3) over ATLANTA: I think the 4-3 Chargers will come off their bye week and find a way to beat the 4-4 Falcons in Atlanta. 

CHICAGO (+5) over Miami: Interesting game as the Dolphins come in at 5-3 and host the 3-5 Bears. I think the Dolphins will win the game, but look for the Bears to keep it close until the end.

CINCINNATI (-7) over Carolina: I think the 4-4 Bengals will rebound and win convincingly over the 2-6 Panthers in Cincy.

Green Bay (-3) over DETROIT: The Packers will find a way to get a win and get their season turned around. 

Las Vegas (-1) over JACKSONVILLE: The Raiders got embarrassed last week in New Orleans. At 2-5, they need to win this game. The Jags are 2-6, so both teams are desperate. Look for the Raiders to pull one out.

NEW ENGLAND (-5) over Indianapolis: The Pats are back to 4-4 and I think they will take care of business at home against the 3-4-1 Colts. 

Buffalo (-12) over JETS: The Bills are the beast team in the league and they won't mess around with the 5-3 Jets. Look for the Jets to play inspired for awhile, but Josh Allen will be too much in the end. 

Minnesota (-3) over WASHINGTON: The Vikings are 6-1 and look really good under new head coach Kevin O'Connell. I like their chances here to go on the road and take down the Commanders. 

Seattle (+2) over ARIZONA: How is Arizona favored in this game? The Seahawks and Geno Smith are rolling and I think they will get the win on the road here. 

TAMPA BAY (-3) over Rams: The Bucs are 3-5 and the Rams are 3-4. Both teams are struggling so this is a must-win game for each team. Hard to tell which way this game goes, but I think the Bucs will pull it out.

Tennessee (+13) over KANSAS CITY: The Chiefs will win this game at home on Sunday night, but I can see the Titans keeping it somewhat close and getting a backdoor cover. 

Baltimore (-3) over NEW ORLEANS: The Ravens will go into the Superdome and knock off the Saints on Monday Night Football. 

Week 9 TNF Pick

 HOUSTON (+14) over Philadelphia
