NFL Week 11 Picks: Predicting the Playoff Picture After This Week

In the lead-up to Week 11 of the NFL season, let's run through some quick picks and how they could affect the playoff picture moving forward.

Quick picks (playoff implication games only):
 

Jets 17, Broncos 9: The Jets defense will do enough to keep Tim Tebow from stealing the show. 

Packers 35, Buccaneers 17: The undefeated Packers shouldn't have trouble in getting to 10-0.

Lions 24, Panthers 21: Cam Newton could give the Lions a scare a home, but they haven't closed games.

Raiders 30, Vikings 19: Carson Palmer keeps his hot hand against a really bad Vikings secondary.

Dolphins 24, Bills 13: The Bills' recent slide continues as the Dolphins win their third straight game. 

Cowboys 23, Redskins 21: The Redskins will keep it close at home, but the Cowboys have too much defensively for Rex Grossman to pull it off.

Ravens 27, Bengals 17: They've fallen on their face against lower opponents, but the Ravens get it done in big games like this. 

Falcons 20, Titans 17: The Falcons need a win to keep pace in the playoff chase, and they are a tough outfit to beat in the Georgia Dome. 

Bears 30, Chargers 21: Two teams going in opposite directions continue on their current paths on Sunday.

Giants 30, Eagles 13: In a game that the Eagles absolutely have to win, the Giants put an emphatic end to the Dream Team's season.

Patriots 28, Chiefs 10: How could you possibly pick Tyler Palko to go to New England and win on Monday Night Football?
