Phil's Picks: Week 11
Buccaneers (5-4) @ Falcons (3-6)
At 3-6, Atlanta is still only two games out of first place in the NFC South.
PICK: BUCCANEERS
Zach's thought: The Buccaneers are just kind of there. Buccaneers.

Cardinals (4-5) @ Bengals (3-6)
Too much offense for Arizona to contain here. Being on the road won't help either.
PICK: BENGALS
Zach's thought: I'll take the Bengals, even though I think they're toast for the season.

Giants (6-3) @ Lions (6-3)
Ugly stat of Week 10: Detroit rushing for -18 yards total.
PICK: GIANTS
Zach's thought: The Lions were just so bad last week, I have to take the Giants.

Panthers (4-5) @ Packers (8-1)
Fast Fact: Brett Favre has never started a season at 9-1. That changes after this game.
PICK: PACKERS
Zach's thought: Carolina is this close to calling Ryan Leaf. Packers.

Chiefs (4-5) @ Colts (7-2)
Without Larry Johnson, Kansas City has nothing on offense.
PICK: COLTS
Zach's thought: I am guessing Peyton won't throw 6 INTs this week. Colts

Raiders (2-7) @ Vikings (3-6)
Even without Adrian Peterson, Minnesota should prevail at home.
PICK: VIKINGS
Zach's thought:Boy, the Raiders have to be thrilled they played the Browns in week 3. Vikings.

Dolphins (0-9) @ Eagles (4-5)
By allowing Ricky Williams to rejoin the team, Miami is now an embarrassment both on and off the field.
PICK: EAGLES
Zach's thought: Bah. Eagles.

Chargers (5-4) @ Jaguars (6-3)
Where the heck is San Diego's offense this year?
PICK: JAGUARS
Zach's thought: There will probably be good defense in this game. That's about it. Jaguars.

Browns (5-4) @ Ravens (4-5)
Since their return to the NFL in 1999, Cleveland has swept Baltimore only once.
PICK: BROWNS
Zach's thought: Usually, I don't take the Browns. But after the loss last week, I proclaimed "There is no way the Browns lose next week. So there you go."

Saints (4-5) @ Texans (4-5)
Give New Orleans a mulligan for last week's stinker.
PICK: SAINTS
Zach's thought: I'll take NO, because it has more upside.

Steelers (7-2) @ Jets (1-8)
Easily the lock of the week.
PICK: STEELERS
Zach's thought: Where's you're Mangenius now? Steelers.

Redskins (5-4) @ Cowboys (8-1)
Washington is too inconsistent to beat Dallas at home.
PICK: COWBOYS

Rams (1-8) @ 49ers (2-7)
How bad is San Francisco? St Louis is 1-8, are the road team, and are still 2.5 point favorites in this game.
PICK: RAMS
Zach's thought: I heard the government has already requested a tape of this game as a new way of getting info from detainees. Rams

Bears (4-5) @ Seahawks (5-4)
For better or worse, Rex Grossman is back as Chicago's starting QB.
PICK: SEAHAWKS
Zach's thought: The Seahawks are a great team unless they're playing road games against AFC teams. Seahawks.

SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Patriots (9-0) @ Bills (5-4)
All things considered, New England basically wins the AFC East with a victory tonight.
PICK: PATRIOTS
Zach's thought: Now we get to see just how good Buffalo is. Patriots.

MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Titans (6-3) @ Broncos (4-5)
Getting Albert Haynesworth should be huge for Tennessee.
PICK: TITANS
Zach's thought: When the new congress came in last year, one of their first orders of business was to push through a bill that put the Broncos on in primetime just about every other week. It's been just about its only effective legislation. Titans.

LAST WEEK 6-8 Z: 6-8
OVERALL: 91-53 Z: 86-58
