Hamilton @ Ottawa
The TiCats visit the Redblacks for a shot at a trip to the Grey Cup. It will be the first CFL playoff game in Ottawa in more than 30 years. The Redblacks boast the number one ranked offence in Canada, are 2-0 against Hamilton this year, and are working with an extra week off.
PICK: Ottawa -6.5
Calgary @ Edmonton
The Edmonton Eskimos boasted a record of 2-1 against Calgary this season, outscoring them only 49-43. With the number one receiver in the CFL in Eric Rogers, I believe the Stampeders have a shot at winning, let alone covering the spread.
PICK: Calgary +2.5
WEEK 11 NFL Picks:
Tennesse @ Jacksonville
What an interesting Thursday night football matchup, said no one. To be honest, both of these teams still have a shot at winning the AFC South despite their rough records. Jacksonville has the fifth best rushing defence in the NFL, but Tennessee has the third passing defence, which could eliminate the duo of Allen Hurns and Allen Robinson. The difference will be TJ Yeldon in this one.
PICK: Jacksonville -2.5
Dallas @ Miami
Coming off of a big win against Philadelphia, Miami has been hot and cold all season long when it comes to picks. Dallas has lost seven in a row, including one to the Bucs last week. I would go with Tannehill/Landry over Cassel/Bryant.
PICK: Miami (pick em)
Indianapolis @ Atlanta
The Colts have not been the Colts this year. Luck is out, Hasselbeck has actually done a great job of managing games and finding ways to win. It won’t happen this week in Atlanta, who come in with the fifth best passing offence in the NFL.
PICK: Atlanta -6.5
St. Louis @ Baltimore
Without Steve Smith Sr. Joe Flacco really has no other options. He has been working with Kamar Aiken, but the Rams are working with rookie stud Todd Gurley, who has been a touchdown machine. Flacco may be in tough against the fifth best defence against the pass.
PICK: St. Louis +1.5
Washington @ Carolina
You like that? What Kirk Cousins loves to shout out every time he wins, which isn’t too often. He diced up the worst defence in all of football last week, but will be in tough against the undefeated Carolina Panthers and Cam Newton, in Carolina.
PICK: Carolina -7.5
Denver @ Chicago
Jeremy Langford had a game to remember last week running in place of Matt Forte. He will be running against an entirely new beast against the Broncos. With Peyton out, I still like Denver to walk into Bears territory and win it outright. Osweiler has a job to lose now.
PICK: Denver +1.5
Oakland @ Detroit
A pleasant surprise to everyone this year, the Raiders have actually been playing some pr steady football. Their pass defence has been atrocious, though. I see Matt Stafford and Calvin Johnson taking over this one.
PICK: Detroit +2.5
Tampa Bay @ Philadelphia
Something tells me famous Jameis can keep this game within six and a half points. The Bucs have the 12th best rush defence in the league, and we all know how much Chip Kelly loves to hand that ball off to his backfield. If they can stack the box and force Bradford to drop back throughout the game, I have a feeling the chemistry between Winston and Mike Evans will be good enough to cover.
PICK: Tampa Bay +6.5
Kansas City @ San Diego
What a rough season it has been for Philip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers. But, oddly enough, their pass game is one of the best in the NFL, with the most yards through the air. This is the first time these two have met within the division, with Jamal Charles sidelined for the rest of the year, I like the Chargers to cover.
PICK: San Diego +3.5
Green Bay @ Minnesota
Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers just haven’t looked like themselves the last few weeks. But, that’s not a reason to shy away from picking them against the Vikings. This will also be the first of two meetings for these two. Rodgers has lost three games in a row for the first time in his career and will bounce back in a big way.
PICK: Green Bay -1.5
San Francisco @ Seattle
Seattle got the best of the 49ers 20-3 in their Thursday night matchup a few weeks ago. San Francisco’s inability to move the ball isn’t going to help them against a stingy defence who pride themselves on takeaways. Look for the Seahawks to win big.
PICK: Seattle -12.5
Cincinnati @ Arizona
The Bengals are coming off a huge upset loss against the Houston Texans where they looked terrible. The offence could move the ball between the 40s but couldn’t do anything once they hit the red zone. Arizona has one of the league’s best defence and have been playing at a high calibre on both sides of the ball.
PICK: Arizona -3.5
Buffalo @ New England (Monday Night)
Tom Brady simply just gets it done in prime time. The Bills have given up the 15th most pass yards in 2015, and you know Brady will be dropping back 30 plus times to take advantage of a depleted secondary. Even without Edelman, look for the Patriots to win by two scores.
PICK: New England -6.5
