Week 10 brought some head-scratching games in the NFL, starting with last Thursday, when the Baltimore Ravens had their offense shut down by the struggling Miami Dolphins, who prevailed for a 22-10 win. On Sunday, Carolina rode backup quarterback P.J. Walker (with help from two cameos by Cam Newton) to a 34-10 waxing of the Arizona Cardinals, and the Philadelphia Eagles brought the Denver Broncos back down to earth, beating them 30-13 at Mile High. Other games went truer to form, as Dallas rebounded to throttle Atlanta, 43-3, and Buffalo bounced back from that odd loss at Jacksonville to demolish the Jets, 45-17. What will unfold in Week 11? These are the teams we see losing so you may bet on the NFL odds.
Sure Losers for NFL Week 11
New England Patriots at Atlanta Falcons – Thursday, November 18
Two weeks ago, Atlanta went to New Orleans and won. Last week, they went to Dallas and lost by 40. New England hosted Cleveland on Sunday and just took them apart. Traveling on the short week has been hard for a lot of teams this year, but I’m still going with Atlanta to lose.
Indianapolis Colts at Buffalo Bills – Sunday, November 21
Indianapolis did hold off Jacksonville last week, a team that beat Buffalo. However, the Bills have the defense to shut down the Colts. Indy to lose.
Houston Texans at Tennessee Titans – Sunday, November 21
The Titans held off New Orleans to move to 8-2, tops in the AFC. The Houston Texans were glad to get back Tyrod Taylor. Texans to lose.
Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings – Sunday, November 21
Did you see the Packers pick Seattle apart on Sunday night? The Vikings are fun to watch at times but cannot hang with the Packers on either side of the ball. Minnesota to lose.
Miami Dolphins at N.Y. Jets – Sunday, November 21
The Jets should have Zach Wilson back at quarterback. It won’t matter. Jets to lose.
New Orleans Saints at Philadelphia Eagles – Sunday, November 21
Jalen Hurts is the real deal when it comes to throwing the ball down the field and making plays with his feet, and the Eagles just got finished holding down Teddy Bridgewater and the Denver offense. I don’t see Trevor Siemian having more luck than Bridgewater. Saints to lose.
San Francisco 49ers at Jacksonville Jaguars – Sunday, November 21
Can Jacksonville pull off the unlikely home upset? They’ve already done it multiple times this year, and the 49ers are reeling. 49ers to lose.
Cincinnati Bengals at Las Vegas Raiders – Sunday, November 21
The Raiders can’t defend against quality passing…and the Bengals have quality passing. Raiders to lose.
Dallas Cowboys at Kansas City Chiefs – Sunday, November 21
The Cowboys have an elite offense, but Patrick Mahomes just came back to life this past week in the Chiefs’ rout of the Raiders. Cowboys to lose.
Arizona Cardinals at Seattle Seahawks – Sunday, November 21
Can Kyler Murray play? Seattle to lose. Will we see Colt McCoy at quarterback again? Arizona to lose.
Pittsburgh Steelers at L.A. Chargers – Sunday, November 21
A much overestimated Steelers team ended up in a tie with Detroit, entering NFL history with more than one turnover in the same overtime period. Will Big Ben be back? It won’ matter. Steelers to lose.
N.Y. Giants at Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Monday Night Football
Bruce Arians called his Buccaneers team “stupid” after their loss to Washington this past week. It won’t surprise me to see the Bucs hang 50 on the Giants this week. G-men to lose.
