NFL Week 11 Picks: 3 Games Destined To Be Blowouts

Last night's Denver game went down to the wire, but not every game does. Some are over before the fourth quarter starts. Whether your interest is in fantasy football or other reasons there are some people who want to know about the blowouts. There are three of them on the docket this week, and one is a surprise. 

Kansas City at New England

New England is virtually universally hailed to put a beatdown of monumental proportions on the Chiefs this week. They'd be heavy favorites if the Chiefs were healthy. With Tyler Palko behind the center though, things are even worse.

The good news is Palko has completed 69.2 percent of his pass attempts. The bad news is that means he's completed nine passes. 

After posting a 37-spot on the vaunted Jets defense, it's tough to imagine what the Patriots are going to do to the Chefs who have been giving up 31.4 points in their losses. It is not at all hard to imagine New England posting up a 40-spot on Kansas City this week, and it's hard to imagine the Chiefs scoring much of anything. This is going to be ugly. 

Patriots 42, Chiefs 10

Tampa Bay at Green Bay

It's bad enough that Green Bay is undefeated going into the week. It's even worse that their offense is virtually unstoppable with Aaron Rodgers posting an NFL-record 130.7 passer rating—strictly speaking, a flat-out ludicrous number. 

No, the Packers, that bunch of hooligans, are not content to just smack around teams on the one side of the field. Now they want to go and start getting things together on the other side as well. They've been making big defensive plays this year, and last week the defense just gave up seven points. 
Look for more of the same this week. Tampa will get some yards through the air, and post three touchdowns, but the Packers will run away with this one. 

Pacers 38, Buccaneers 21

San Diego at Chicago

Chicago has really been finding their way on both sides of the ball of late and they keep looking better every week. Over the last four weeks they've given up just four sacks. They've outscored their opponents by an average score of 33 to 16. They are leaving destruction in their wake.

The Chargers on the other had have been outscored by an average score of 30 to 24. Philip Rivers' new hobby is throwing interceptions. He's thrown 10 interceptions in the last four weeks, been sacked 12 times and fumbled twice.

The game is in Chicago, where it's easy to turn the ball over too. No, this is not going to be a pretty day for the Chargers. Look for the Bears to romp in this one.
