NFL Picks Week 11: Arizona Cardinals and 3 Teams Whose Streaks Will End

The Arizona Cardinals have been fortunate to pull off this short two-game win streak. They benefited from playing a subpar St. Louis Rams team. In that game, they still needed the amazing punt return for a TD by Patrick Peterson to win in OT.

Then, last week, they beat the drastically overrated Philadelphia Eagles in what many believe is the last nail in the coffin for the Eagles.

I hope the Cardinals enjoyed the winning while it lasted, because this week they go into San Francisco to take on the 49ers.

The Niners' rushing attack is dominant: they are seventh in the NFL in rushing yards. They are even more effective against the run, as they are top in the NFL. They will control the ball and the clock, which will force either John Skelton or Kevin Kolb to pass it early and often.

The Niners have won the turnover battle so far this season 21-8 against opponents. I expect that margin to grow on Sunday. The Niners will win by at least 13 points.

Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins:

The Bills are currently on a two-game losing streak. Many fans are probably beginning to panic, as they anticipate the Bills going back to their old selves. Calm down, the Bills are an excellent offensive team, despite getting blown away on both sides of the ball by Dallas last week.

Buffalo has only scored 18 points in the last two weeks combined against Dallas and the NY Jets. One of the best cures for what can ail a football team is playing the Miami Dolphins.

Miami has won two games in a row themselves, and they are playing much better football now than earlier in the season, but they won't win this game because the Bills offense has too many weapons.

While Miami has been good defensively over the past two weeks, it has been against the Kansas City Chiefs and Washington Redskins—two teams that depend heavily on the run.

The Bills have a multi-faceted attack with Fred Jackson and Ryan Fitzpatrick. They are sixth in the NFL in rushing and a respectable 19th in passing. The Dolphins have struggled against the pass all year. They won't be able to slow the Bills enough to win this game. Thus, two streaks will end in this game.
