Week 11 Recap

AFC Rundown
The Jets beat New England to take hold of the AFC East...for now. Buffalo is falling faster than the economy. The Steelers win over San Diego was huge, because it keeps them in the #2 spot in the conference and gives them the inside track to the division title. Where did Baltimore's run defense go against the Giants? Cincinnati tied. That's like a win for them. Cleveland is starting to turn it around, but it's too little too late. Miami might just sneak into the playoffs, but they're going to have to do better than beating Oakland by 2 points. Kansas City has heart and young talent, lucky for them they got their win early on. Tennessee is on upset alert again this week against the Jets. Indy has snuck back into a playoff spot. Jacksonville and Houston should start planning their draft-day parties.

NFC Rundown
The Giants are very, very good. Washington has been disappointing since their early season run. Philadelphia....really? Dallas found a little defense against a mediocre Washington offense on Sunday night. The NFC North and NFC South will go down to the wire. No clear favorite in either. Carolina is playing sloppy but winning games. Their running game looks great. Tampa has finally righted the ship and got things back on track. New Orleans is like the Denver of the NFC. A potent offense but no defense. Atlanta has been a surprise, but now they have to see if they can make that next step. Championships aren't won in September and October. Green Bay, Chicago, Minnesota. Each week a different team looks to be the clear frontrunners. The next week, that team loses. Green Bay was my horse to start the season, and I'm sticking with them. They are more balanced on offense than the other two teams. Arizona will have the division title closed out by the first week in December.
