NFL Week 11 Preview and Predictions: Part 2

(3-7) Carolina Panthers @ Baltimore Ravens (6-3)


The Baltimore Ravens participated in their bye week last week and they come into Week 11 on a 3-game winning streak which sees them sit atop of the AFC North. As for Carolina, they got back to winning ways last week against division rivals Atlanta on Thursday Night Football. The Panthers now find themselves sitting third in the NFC South. Overall, I am going with the Ravens to win this football match. Baltimore are one of the better teams in the NFL whilst Carolina are one of the weaker ones. That said, you just never know given what’s already taken place this season.



(5-5) Washington Commanders @ Houston Texans (1-7-1)


The Houston Texans suffered their 4th straight defeat last week away to the New York Giants. The Texans currently sit bottom of the AFC South with the worst record in the entire league. As for Washington, they managed to pick up a win against the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles in Philly no less to move back to .500! The Commanders are 4-1 in their last 5 games and despite being bottom of the NFC East, they are right in the playoff fight. Overall, I am picking the Commanders to win in Houston. Washington are on a really good run of form at the moment and it would be a big loss if they fell short this weekend.



(2-7) Las Vegas Raiders @ Denver Broncos (3-6)


A battle between two incredibly underperforming AFC West teams takes place as the Denver Broncos host the Las Vegas Raiders. Last weekend, the Denver Broncos suffered defeat against the Tennessee Titans and they currently sit third in said AFC West. As for Las Vegas, they suffered a terrible loss at home to the Indianapolis Colts. They sit bottom of said AFC West. Overall, I am picking the Broncos to win at home this weekend. Both teams are 1-4 in their last 5 games and I don’t envision this game being filled with particularly high quality. Also, the Raiders are 0-5 on the road this year. Yikes!



(6-3) Dallas Cowboys @ Minnesota Vikings (8-1)


The Cowboys travel to Minnesota for a really exciting matchup with the Vikings. Last time out, the Minnesota Vikings went to Buffalo and managed to topple the Bills 33-30. That game and result showcased that the Vikings have to be taken as a genuine Super Bowl Contender. The Vikings sit in first place in the NFC North on a seven-game winning streak. As for Dallas, they suffered a frustrating loss in Green Bay against the Packers (28-31). The loss means they drop down to third in the NFC East. Overall, I am picking the Vikings to get their 8th successive win. The Vikings showcased last weekend that they know how to win the big games whilst the Cowboys have struggled in that department this year.



(5-4) Cincinnati Bengals @ Pittsburgh Steelers (3-6)


The Pittsburgh Steelers come into Week 11 off the back of a solid win against the New Orleans Saints (10-20). The Steelers are still bottom of the AFC North though. As for Cincinnati, they come out of their bye week knowing if the season ended today, they wouldn’t be playing post season football. They will look to sort this out in the second half of the season as they aim to climb up from second in the AFC North. Overall, I am picking the Bengals to win this game. They are the better team and I just have more belief in their abilities as a unit.



(7-2) Kansas City Chiefs @ Los Angeles Chargers (5-4)


Sunday Night Football sees AFC West rivals battle in a must win game for the Chargers. The Chargers played on Sunday Night Football last week and they fell short against the San Francisco 49ers. The loss means they sit second in the AFC West and they really need to win this game to keep up their chances of winning the AFC West. As for Kansas, they made it 3 wins on the bounce as they defeated the visiting Jaguars 27-17. The Chiefs are currently top of the AFC West and they are also the number 1 team in the AFC right now. Overall, I am picking the Chiefs. This is a big opportunity for Justin Herbert and the Chargers, but I just can’t see them getting over the line with a victory.



(5-4) San Francisco 49ers @ Arizona Cardinals (4-6)


It’s time for a little bit of Monday Night Mexico! Last week, the Arizona Cardinals picked up a very important victory on the road against the Los Angeles Rams (27-17) to keep their season alive. Arizona currently sit third in the NFC West. As for San Francisco, they picked up an important win against the Los Angeles Chargers to move them closer to the top of the NFC West. They currently sit second but a win here would see them move up to top spot. Overall, I am going with the 49ers. It’s a big game for both but so far this season, San Francisco are 3-0 against teams from their division. Make it 4-0 and the Niners are looking very good.
