NFL Week 11 Picks

With week 10 of the 2011 NFL season coming to a close tonight, it is time to look ahead to week 11. As the season winds down to the end, there is just as big of a fan base for the last place team as there is for the first place team. Essentially, the former’s fans believe that their team’s suffering will culminate in a much needed top draft pick. For this reason, we’ll be looking at a couple of games that may not be on people’s radar’s this weekend.

Jacksonville Jaguars v Cleveland Browns – If there was ever a game that won’t have much sports betting action on it, this is it. Both Jacksonville and Cleveland have been awful this season, as neither team has scored over 30 points in a single contest. In fact, you could make the argument, that if Jacksonville had no run game and Cleveland didn’t have Colt McCoy as their quarterback, both teams may be searching for a win this season. Cleveland has been in some absolute bookie software stinkers this season, losing nine to six a couple of weeks ago, and 13 – 12 this past weekend. Look for Jacksonville to pull off the win, as they are the best of the bottom feeders.

Carolina Panthers v Detroit Lions – The Lions started hot this season, but now they are lucky if they finish the season with a 500 record. Meanwhile, Carolina, despite not having much success this year, are chomping at the bit to play the Lions, as Cam Newton will be taking on former teammate Nick Fairly. Newton’s struggled as the season has progressed; yet fans and media still believe he deserves the rookie of the year award. In a game against Detroit, Carolina may have difficulty even getting the ball past their own 20-yard line.
