NFL Winners & Losers: Week 11

New podcast with Tye!



I went back and forth on this game way too many times. On one hand you have the Jets and their great defense facing the one dimensional Broncos. On the other you have Tim Tebow (and Willis MaGahee, just found out he's active) at home catching the Jets on 4 days rest after a tough loss to the Pats.

I got burned last week for going safe (see Ravens @ Seahawks), and as much as I want to take a risk here, I just can't. Now that Denver is in the playoff picture I should have more trust that John Fox will allow Tebow do Tebow things, but I don't. Jets winners, Broncos losers.

I should've had the balls to pick against Baltimore last week because I had a strong feeling they were going to flop again after beating Pittsburgh. Stupid me. I would make up for it and pick against them this week, but I don't like Cincinnati minus A.J. Green and Leon Hall. Ravens winners, Bengals losers.

Great win last week for Dallas, but it doesn't mean shit if we fuck around and lose to Washington. Cowboys winners, Redskins losers.

Michael Vick hasn't played his best football this year, but the Eagles really don't stand a chance with Vince Young or Mike Kafka. Well, not against New York's pass rush at least. Giants winners, Eagles losers.

The San Diego Chargers Softies made Carson Palmer look semi-good last week, so what do you think they'll do to Jay Cutler? Let's just go ahead and give them that 5th straight L now. Bears winners, Chargers losers.

Everyone with a half a piece of football sense has been killing Mike Smith for going for it on 4th down on Atlanta's 29 like a retard, but I'd like to applaud him. Had he wisely choose to punt, Atlanta would've had a chance to win and be a whole game ahead of Dallas in the NFC wild card race. Instead, we're tied at 5-4. Thanks again, Mike. Falcons winners, Titans losers.

Green Bay plays Thanksgiving Day, so I fully expect this one to be over fast. In fact, I think Matt Flynn has already started warming up to replace Aaron Rodgers after his 5th touchdown pass of the first half. Packers winners, Buccaneers losers.

Why do I feel like San Fran is going to be looking ahead to next week's game at Baltimore and this game will be a lot closer than it needs to be? 49ers winners, Cardinals losers.

While Buffalo was in Dallas getting manhandled, Miami messed around and got their first W at home since November 14th, 2010. Can the Phins win consecutive home games for the first time since 2009? Against the Bills team I saw last week on the road, I say yes. Dolphins winners, Bills losers.

I just can't see me letting myself get burned by picking Carolina anymore this season. Lions winners, Panthers losers.

Tyler Palko. Patriots winners, Chiefs losers.

I don't care if they beat the San Diego Chargers Softies, Oakland still sucks. Fortunately for them, Minnesota sucks worse...BUT I'm still taking them for some reason I'm not yet aware of. Vikings winners, Raiders losers.

I love the Seahawks at home, but hate them on the road. Rams winners, Seahawks losers.

Maybe the NFL should trade the Browns to the MLS because watching them play is just about as boring as watching a soccer game. Jaguars winners, Browns losers.

This Week: 9-5 (.643)
Last Week: 9-7 (.563)
Season: 95-65 (.594)
