NFL Draft Diamonds Week 11 Picks and Predictions

Last week we were 8-5, and had three major upsets correct. We picked the Texans, Redskins and Buccaneers to win. That brings our record to 82-54. That is not the best, but picking football has not been easy this year.

Oakland Raiders v. Detroit Lions

Detroit Lions beat Green Bay Packers last week and they keep it going. The Raiders are playing good ball, but Matthew Stafford has himself a game and the Lions win 24-20

Indianapolis Colts v. Atlanta Falcons

Falcons will play Matt Hasselbeck who has won two games already as a starter, the problem is the Falcons can run the ball well. Falcons win 27-21

New York Jets v. Houston Texans

Jets have a great defense and they are able to get pressure on TJ Yates, who turns the ball over more than once. Jets win 17-13

Tampa Bay Buccaneers v. Philadelphia Eagles

Eagles have Mark Sanchez who I think will run the offense better than Sam Bradford. Today will be the Sanchez Bowl because he will go off for over 300 yards. Eagles win 35-20

Denver Broncos v. Chicago Bears

I honestly do not like the Broncos here because I feel Brock Osweiler is a bum. I just cannot go against the Broncos defense against a turnover friendly Bears and Jay Cutler. Broncos win in OT 17-14

St. Louis Rams v. Baltimore Ravens

Ravens against Case Keenum? I love that match-up because I think Flacco shreds the Rams. Ravens win 28-13

Dallas Cowboys v. Miami Dolphins

Tony Romo is back and the Cowboys win. Dallas knocks off the Dolphins in a blowout. Cowboys win 45-17

Washington Redskins v. Carolina Panthers

I cannot go against the undefeated Carolina Panthes. While Kirk Cousins is looking good the Panthers are the best team in football. Panthers 24-Redskins 10

Kansas City Chiefs v. San Diego Chargers

The Chargers have too many question marks at wide receiver and the Chiefs have been playing lights out defense. Chiefs get a big win in San Diego. 24-16

Minnesota Vikings v. Green Bay Packers

Aaron Rodgers losing four in a row? I cannot see it happening. Today the Packers finally establish a run game and the Packers win. 9-6

San Francisco 49ers v. Seattle Seahawks

San Francisco made another big mistake. They are going to run a Franchise QB out of town. Blaine Gabbert chokes and the Seahawks dominate 48-24

Cincinnati Bengals v. Arizona Cardinals

The Bengals were beaten by the Texans last week because J.J. Watt applied pressure. This week the secondary beats them. The Cardinals and Patrick Peterson shut down the Bengals and Andy Dalton. 37-14

Buffalo Bills v. New England Patriots

Monday Night Upset? It happened last week and it will happen again. The Patriots are the best team in the league but they look past a Bills team that causes a few freak turovers to win the game. Bills win in OT after Stephen Gostkowski misses a 51 yard field goal. Tyrod Taylor hits Sammy Watkins on a deep play to beat the Pats on Monday Night.
