Here are my Week 11 NFL picks:
The Jets at Patriots (-13) is a no-brainer. Take the Jets, and if the Pats win by less than 13 points, you'll have picked the under. It's a logical move.
The Dolphins (-2.5) against the Commanders are a better bet. The Commanders are in a free fall, while the Dolphins have looked competent lately. Don't expect a blowout here.
When it comes to the Packers (-7) at Giants, I'm wary of teams playing well for one week after their head coach is fired. The Giants will probably make some mistakes behind Jameis Winston, who's prone to throwing INTs. Give me the Packers, but only because they're not as bad a team as I think the Giants are.
The Buccaneers (-6) at Bills could be an interesting game. Both teams have strong offenses, and this might be a battle for the ages. Take the Bucs, but also give them six points to make it a little more interesting.
Against the Bengals (-5.5), I'll pick against the Steelers because their lead over the Ravens has already dwindled to one game. The Bengals defense can't stop some college offenses, and this might be an easy win for Cincy.
The Texans (-6.5) at Titans are another pick that makes sense. The Texans have climbed back into playoff contention, while the Titans are abysmal. They should handle this matchup easily.
When it comes to the Bears at Vikings (-3), I'm not sure what to do here. Both teams are talented, but the Bears are banged up on defense. Give me the Eagles instead, as they're about as healthy as a team can be and have beaten some tough opponents this season.
Lastly, the Cowboys (-3.5) at Raiders might be my best "bad game" pick for Monday night. The Cowboys are bad, while Geno Smith is worse. Take the Raiders and enjoy watching them blow it against the Cowboys.
As for my survivor pool pick, I'll go with the Jets because they're the only team favored by double digits this week.

. But what's interesting is that Dolphins taking down Commanders might be a sneaky good bet too 
. Their defense has been solid lately, and Commanders are in a slump. As for Packers vs Giants, I'm with you on being wary of the Giants after their coach change 
... Jameis Winston can be a wild card, so yeah give me the Packers! 
. Strong offenses, both teams are gonna put up points for sure. Take the Bucs but also like giving them more room to breathe 
.
... their defense can be vulnerable to those college offenses. And Texans vs Titans should be an easy win for the Texans 
. They're bad too, and Geno Smith can be a mess 
. And survivor pool... yeah Jets are the way to go 
- 13 points of a difference is crazy! If they win by less than that, I'll be in shock 
. Meanwhile, Dolphins against Commanders could get interesting 
. Seriously though, people can't even agree on which way is up, let alone who's gonna win the game 
. Anyway, it's all about finding that one "bad game" pick, right? Like, who needs to watch a competitive game when you can just pick the loser? Sounds like a real blast watching Geno Smith get roasted 
. Meanwhile, the Dolphins look like they're due for a win against the Commanders 
. I'm also intrigued by the Buccaneers vs Bills matchup - both teams have crazy offense 
. As for my own NFL predictions, I've got the Texans beating the Titans and the Eagles taking down the Vikings 
. Like, how do teams even recover from that? But hey, it's always fun to make some picks and try to win your survivor pool 
They've been looking pretty solid lately, but taking them against the Patriots is definitely not a no-brainer 
. The Pats are always tough to beat at home. But hey, if you want to take the under, I wouldn't say it's the worst idea in the world... maybe?
