NFL Week 11 Picks: Obituary Notice for Teams Sure To Be Buried

The following three teams (Buccaneers, Eagles and Chiefs) might have their 2011 season buried in Week 11 of the NFL season with critical losses:

Green Bay Packers 35, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 17

After a 10-6 season in which the Packers edged the Bucs on a tiebreaker to get to the playoffs, Tampa Bay has limped out the gates in 2011 and now find themselves at 4-5. Bucs coach Raheem Morris has blamed the schedule, and he might have a point.

The Bucs will have faced seven potential playoff teams after the Packers are done with them on Sunday. If they fall to 4-6, their playoff hopes for 2011 will be all but finished.

New York Giants 30, Philadelphia Eagles 13

The 3-6 Eagles need a win to keep their head above the playoff water, but the Giants have too much on offense to allow their division rivals to keep floating around. The Eagles' 2011 season, first filled with such promise and anticipation, will end in distraction, injury and an embarrassing loss in New York.

Even if Michael Vick comes back, that won't be enough. It's the Eagles defense that will again be the letdown.  

New England Patriots 28, Kansas City Chiefs 10

After winning four straight games to get to 4-3, the Chiefs have now lost two straight and their starting quarterback. With Tyler Palko taking over the reins, Kansas City's 2011 might be on life support.

The Raiders are 5-4 and starting to catch fire, and the Broncos won their Week 11 game to get back to .500. A loss to the Patriots on Monday night could be the start of a tailspin that ends the Chiefs' season.
