Cincinnati Bengals Over Cleveland Browns

Losers of two straight, the Cincinnati Bengals won't be short on motivation in Week 11 when they host division rival Cleveland in one of eight 1 p.m. ET games on Sunday's slate.

Despite their recent struggles, the Bengals are still in control in the AFC North and can reaffirm their alpha dog status with their sixth straight regular-season home win this weekend. Cincinnati is 4-0 at home in 2013 and is set to improve to 5-0 inside Paul Brown Stadium with a convincing victory over the Browns.

What stands out the most heading into this matchup is Cleveland's one-dimensional offensive attack. Although Jason Campbell was able to exploit the Baltimore Ravens defense through the air in his first start of the year in Week 9, the Browns still lack a reliable running game.

To put Cleveland's struggles in perspective, leading rusher Willis McGahee is averaging 2.6 yards per carry in 2013.

Therefore, expect Cincinnati's seventh-ranked pass defense to make life miserable for Cleveland's shallow offensive attack en route to a crucial division win.

Philadelphia Eagles Over Washington Redskins

Unlike the Bengals, the Philadelphia Eagles have been terrible at home in 2013, losing all four of their games at Lincoln Financial Field.

Fortunately for the surging Eagles, the 3-6 Washington Redskins are coming to town in Week 11. While Washington boasts one of the league's more potent offensive units, led by Robert Griffin III, Chip Kelly's attack is firing on all cylinders after 10 weeks.

Philly ranks ninth in passing yards, second in rushing yards and 11th in scoring offense after putting up a combined 76 points against the Oakland Raiders and Green Bay Packers over the past two weeks. Plus, with Nick Foles having thrown 16 touchdown passes to zero interceptions since he replaced Michael Vick under center in Week 5, the Eagles offense appears to be in great hands. 

On top of that, only the Jacksonville Jaguars are allowing more points per game than Washington this season.

Clearly, the Redskins will have to win a shootout if they are to climb back into the mix in the NFC East this weekend. But given how sharp Philadelphia has looked on both sides of the ball over the past two weeks, it's unlikely that Washington will be able to keep pace on the scoreboard.

New York Jets Over Buffalo Bills

The New York Jets will be favored to win two straight games for the first time this season when they travel to Buffalo to battle the division rival Bills.

While two of the Bills' three wins this season have come at home, it's difficult to imagine a scenario in which Buffalo prevails in Week 11. After all, Doug Marrone's squad has dropped three in a row and has looked putrid on the offensive side of the ball, mustering just 13.3 points per game over that stretch.

EJ Manuel's return gives the Bills a shred of hope, but remember, the rookie passer struggled immensely his first time out against the Gang Green defense, completing only 19 of his 42 passes and getting sacked eight times. 

Although the Jets offense has struggled to find consistency all season long, the defense has been relatively stout throughout, turning out dominant performances versus Tom Brady and Drew Brees in recent victories. Through 10 weeks, New York ranks eighth in fewest yards allowed.

Look for the Jets to beat the Bills behind another impressive performance from their playoff-caliber defense.
