Fearless Football Predictions: Week 11

Chasing 13 and running out of time it's now or never:

St. Louis over the Cardinals: If this were baseball that pick wouldn't make any sense. Luckily we're talking about football and a Rams team that should win in a shootout. Cardinal wideout Larry Fitzgerald should have a big game though.

Carolina over Chicago: In Chicago the wind could be a factor but since reports say 10-15 mph and not the 50 mph gusts we saw last week talent should be the bigger factor and the Panthers have more of it.

Dallas over Detroit: If this game was in Detroit the Lions might have a better chance but I can't see them going into Dallas and winning against the first place Cowboys.

Cincinnatti over Indy: The last time Chad Johnson predicted a win against a previously unbeaten opponent the Bengals beat the Chiefs. They're gonna do it again.

Jags over the Titans: Jacksonville has the Wild Card in their sights and need to win all the winnable games that they can starting with this one.

Miami over Cleveland: The Dolphins almost beat the Patriots so they should easily beat a Browns team that other than head coach Romeo Crenel has nothing in common with the Patriots at all.

Pats over the Saints: Speaking of New England they should hold onto first place in the AFC East from here on out. They haven't won back to back games all year but that should change this week.

Washington over Oakland: Da Raiders can be DA-ngerous to contending teams but I have a good feeling that the 'Skins will be tough to beat at home from here on out.

Eagles over the Giants: I actually think the Eagles have a better chance to win without Donovan McNabb than with him even with Mike McMahon's 1-6 career record as a starter. It's just that having McMahon behind center might actually force the Eagles to feature Brian Westbrook which would be the best thing that could have ever happened to them and the Giants suck vs. backup QB's historically.

Bucs over the Falcons: The Falcons got surprised last week by Green Bay and the Bucs narrowly escaped with a win over the 'Skins. This one could go either way but expect the Bucs quick defense to stop Vick more than the Madden cover jinx.

Seattle over San Francisco: Shaun Alexander fantasy owners rejoice.

San Diego over Buffalo: The Chargers could win the Super Bowl if they can just make it into the playoffs, that's how brutal their schedule has been. Coming off the bye they should handle the Bills to keep their hopes alive.

Denver over the Jets: I'll say it again- Just End The Season Already.

Pittsburgh over Baltimore: If the Steelers were playing a good team I would be inclined to pick against them but I just can't see a Kyle Boller led team winning anything over than a foosball match.

KC over Houston: The Texans should probably just forfeit the rest of their games and take a team trip to scout Reggie Bush.

Minnesota over Green Bay: Weather could be a factor which would favor Green Bay but the Vikings have beaten the Packers two straight times in Green Bay and could make it three in a row.
