NFL Week 11 Predictions: Playoff Picture Begins To Form

Thursday Night football ended dramatically with the New York Jets beating the New England Patriots for the lead in the AFC East. That doesn't mean the Jets will be crowned AFC East Champions just yet, however, they look like they are heading in that direction.

If this team plays like it did against the Patriots for the rest of the season, then I wouldn't be surprised to see 2008 AFC East Champions: New York Jets! As for a Super Bowl run for the 39-year-old Brett Favre and company, we will see.

It is still a tight race in the AFC East. Buffalo plays Cleveland on Monday night, if the Bills win, then they are possibly back into the race. However I wouldn't count on it for the Bills have lost their last three games.

The Miami Dolphins on the other hand seem to be playing as well as the New York Jets right now, and even at the bottom of the Division right now, they have won their last three games. Guess what Miami, here comes your second bye week as you get to play the Oakland Raiders! Never has the AFC East race been so exciting before in such a long time.

 

The AFC North might have just got even more interesting with the Browns switching quarterbacks. I hope I am not the only one who thinks that Brady Quinn might have been the missing piece to the Browns playoff hopes. There is no for sure winner in this division just yet.

The Pittsburgh Steelers play the interestingly-not-so-good San Diego Chargers this Sunday. However, the Steelers lost last week to the interestingly-not-so-good Indianapolis Colts. We shall see.

The Baltimore Ravens are some how amazingly at 6-3 with rookie quarterback Joe Flacco. Can somebody please tell me how they are accomplishing this? Regardless, they are at a tie with the Pittsburgh Steelers a top of the AFC North. The Steelers of coarse win the tie breaker. The Ravens this Sunday play the New York Giants. Will the Ravens be the second AFC North team to take down the Big Blue?

The Browns play Buffalo on Monday Night. With the swith to Brady Quinn at quarterback instead of Derek Anderson, this team might finally be going places. Lucky them, they are playing a team that is on a three game losing streak right now.

Can I just write the Bengals off right now? There, already did. At 1-8, you are not winning this division!
