The NFL schedule is moving forward into Week 11 and things will get started up on Thursday night football with the Indianapolis Colts and the Tennessee Titans, but the big game on the schedule comes on Sunday night, as the Denver Broncos are hosting the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs in an anticipated AFC West divisional battle.
The Sunday games are the focus here, but quickly, I'll take the Indianapolis Colts over the Titans even with the game on the road, as the team is coming off of a loss and should get things right. Past that, some of the top games on Sunday includes the San Francisco 49ers and the New Orleans Saints, as well as the Detroit Lions facing their biggest test since getting into first place with the Steelers on the road.
The New York Jets are taking on the Buffalo Bills on the road and NY has been playing well recently apart from the loss to the Bengals and with a win over the Saints at home in their rearview, the team should take care of business on Sunday. The game will be in Buffalo and that means likely a rushing attack from the Jets and that could do well against a Bills team that is giving up a decent amount of rushing yards this season per game.
The Chicago Bears are hosting the Baltimore Ravens in a crucial game for the team, as they lost to the Lions last week and despite the fact that Jay Cutler will not start, they should be in a nice position to get back on track. The Ravens were able to steal a win from the Bengals after giving up a ridiculous hail Mary, but with the Bears playing at home and Josh McCown looking pretty good in his last start, time to go with Chicago again.
The Cleveland Browns are not out of things yet in the AFC North and they have a big game against the Bengals, who have been reeling since beating the Jets. While Cincy is at home, for some reason I'm feeling an upset with the Browns here. The Washington Redskins and Eagles are playing in Philly and this game is a bit of a toss-up, so I'll go with the Eagles after the way Nick Foles has been performing over the past few weeks.
Other top games include the 49ers and Saints and that game is in New Orleans, where the Niners played the Super Bowl, but with the way Drew Brees performs there, it's hard to go against Sean Payton and company. The 49ers will be slumping after this loss with a two games streak, but I can't pick against the Saints at home.
And for the final game: gotta be the Broncos at home even with Peyton Manning banged up playing the Chiefs.
