NFL Week 11 Predictions: Projecting the Highest-Scoring Games

Chris TrapassoNov 18, 2011

What even constitutes a high-scoring game anymore in the NFL

We have seen many shootouts this season, and frankly, I love it. 

Here are the three games I see ending with a lot of yards and a lot of touchdowns on Sunday.

Oakland Raiders at Minnesota Vikings 

Teams automatically score more when they're inside a dome, right? 

That won't be the only reason why this game will be high-scoring. 

We are well-aware of how potent the Raiders rushing attack is and the Vikings, despite their struggles this season, are still getting great production out of Adrian Peterson

It's not the most-known statistic, but Oakland is allowing 5.2 yards per carry. 

Think AP is ready for this matchup? 

We're used to high-scoring affairs featuring big plays through the air, but in this one, Michael Bush and Peterson will put on a show.

Don't sleep on Denarius Moore, Jacoby Ford and Percy Harvin either.

Both teams' secondaries aren't exactly stingy against the pass.

San Diego Chargers at Chicago Bears 

What else can we expect besides a wild game from Philip Rivers?

I'm talking 300-plus yards, great throws, incredibly stupid ones, turnovers, deep balls to Vincent Jackson—Rivers keeps you on the edge of your recliner.

Jay Cutler has those tendencies as well.

While I think the Bears win this game at home, there's going to be a lot of points on the board at the final whistle. 

Chicago's defense is very opportunistic, but their secondary is allowing nearly 270 yards per game.

As far as San Diego's defense goes, we saw what Michael Bush did to them last week.

I expect them to make the proper adjustments, but is Matt Forte really going to be shut down?

I don't think so.

Buffalo Bills at Miami Dolphins

This is my surprise pick of the week.

The Bills were embarrassed last week by the Cowboys and they simply don't have the depth to overcome the multitude of injuries they've dealt with this season.

Although the Dolphins are winners of their last two games, they beat the Chiefs and Redskins, not the Packers and Patriots. 

Buffalo's offense will bounce back with Fred Jackson having another huge game both on the ground and in the passing game and Brandon Marshall will turn in a huge performance against Buffalo's defensive backfield.

Fireworks in Miami.
