NFL Picks Weeks 11: Predicting the Worst Games of the Week

Let's run through some picks of what should be the "worst" games of NFL's Week 11. Just to clarify, worst could mean two bad teams or a game that should be a blowout.

Jacksonville Jaguars (3-6) at Cleveland Browns (3-6)

Points should be at a premium in this game, as Blaine Gabbert and the Jags' passing offense averages under 125 yards per game and Colt McCoy has close to zero weapons around him.

We'll give the slight edge to Jacksonville, based solely on the fact that Maurice Jones-Drew—the best player on the field Sunday—plays for the Jaguars.

Jaguars 17, Browns 9

Seattle Seahawks at St. Louis Rams

The Seahawks have slowly made themselves into a solid defense, and they've beaten a couple of teams (New York Giants and Baltimore Ravens) that have playoff aspirations.

Not much has gone right for St. Louis in 2011, but they got a stroke of luck last Sunday when the Browns missed a chip shot field goal with under two minutes in the fourth quarter that could have won the game.

Still, the Rams will get closer to Andrew Luck this weekend than continuing their own good fortune with a win.

Seahawks 20, Rams 10

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Green Bay Packers

The Packers haven't beaten the Buccaneers since Aaron Rodgers became the full-time starter (0-2), but can you really pick against the undefeated champs at this point?

Also, Raheem Morris made an interesting comment to the Green Bay media on Wednesday when he talked about the schedule being the difference between the Bucs' two seasons. Maybe he's right, but that excuse won't win you games.

Packers 35, Buccaneers 17 

Oakland Raiders at Minnesota Vikings

The Raiders might not be getting Darren McFadden back this week, but will they need him?

The Vikings secondary took another blow on Monday night when Antoine Winfield broke his clavicle.

Carson Palmer and the Raiders' passing game will be going against a bunch of no-namers who have struggled throughout this season. 

Raiders 30, Vikings 9

Kansas City Chiefs at New England Patriots

The Chiefs have lost two straight games to the likes of the Dolphins and Broncos, and they'll now turn to Tyler Palko to start his first NFL game under the starry lights of Monday Night Football in Foxborough, Mass.

The Patriots haven't lost two straight home games since Palko was a middle schooler. I think we'll take the odds on this one. 

Patriots 28, Chiefs 10
