Week 11 Picks

For those of you who listen to the Jeff and Mark Show, you know that Mark and I make our weekly picks for the upcoming NFL week. So far, I have compiled a 48-22 record, while Mark is only 4 games back, with a record of 44-26. This week Mark and I both made some risky picks, but have to make some risky picks to make it fun.

Thanksgiving day has brought us some disappointing games the past few years and I tried to make it interesting by picking the Detroit Lions over the Green Bay Packers. I don't think this is very smart considering Matthew Stafford is hurt, but hey you never know what can happen.

Mark and I both picked the Cowboys over Oakland and the Giants over the Broncos.

This first game on Sunday brings two different views on the Miami and Buffalo game. Yes, Mark had stated on the show he would never pick the Bills again, but he went against his word and picked them. Hey, I am not going to stop him with that pick! ha. Anyways, I took Ricky Williams and Joey Porter over TO.

Indy at Houston. Prediction, Kris Brown misses a game tying field goal for the third consecutive week. I originially picked Houston becuase I believe that they are a really good team, but to make the picks more fun, I switched my pick to the undefeated Colts. Mark kept with his pick the Texans.

Arizona at Tennessee. This will be a great game this week, such great players on both teams. I believe VY and Chris Johnson have a field day over that Arizona defense. I think the Titans are one of the hottest teams in the NFL, would be a top team in the AFC if they didn't start 0-6. However, to back up Mark and his pick of the Cardinals, Kurt Warner should be healthy and Larry Fitzgerald is a top 2 WR in the NFL, debateable between him and Andre Johnson in my opinion. Anyways, it should be a high scoring game and I hope Tennessee wins!

The Monday Night Game has kept me up the past two nights, do I pick the Patriots or the undefeated Saints. On the show, I said that the Patriots are the best team in the NFL, and that they would beat the Saints. Even though I still believe the Patriots are the best team in the NFL, I just don't think they will win in New Orleans. I have a hard time seeing the Patriots D stopping the high powered Saints offense. I think they have too many weapons on offense and that the game is at home, is a huge advantage. Saints win by 3. Mark took the Patriots, and I can't really say that is a bad pick because I originally picked them. Should be a great game.
