NFL Week 11 picks
This is the last week of the bye weeks, which means fans will be treated to a heaping helping of pigskin action this coming Thanksgiving weekend. That’s good for America.
Five-star upset special o’ the week: Bengals over Ravens. Got totally burned by Baltimore as a “lock of the week” last week, so now the Ravens are a predicted loser in this spot this week. The winner of this game gets a share of the AFC North lead.
Lock of the week: Patriots over Chiefs. Tyler Palko will be the starting quarterback for the Chiefs on Monday night. That is all you need to know about this game. The Patriots, meanwhile, might not lose a game the rest of the way. Don’t believe it? Check out their remaining schedule.
