week eleven, NFL picks

We have made it to week eleven, football fans.  After holding steady in week ten, we move on into a stream where a 9-win team could make things interesting in a mediocre AFC.  In the NFC we have some teams like the Packers and 49ers that have been dominating things, over all they are bore bunched up and getting to 10 or 11 wins is going to be key.  I didn't do to well with my picks last week, I have to get back on the horse and finish strong.
Week 11 picks:
1) Let's start with last nights game which I found odd.  Neither team played vey well, however the NY Jets let the Denver Broncos hang around and ultimately drive down the field for the winning score.  the Jet offensive line was manhandled last night, they were letting guys get free runs on Sanchez, their special teams need work, and their defense is very up and down.  I don't think Tim Tebow and the option offense can last very long in the NFL, its pretty much all trick plays, it worked last night.  Tebow took his team down field for the winning score after being awful for the first 58 minutes.  Denver Broncos 17- New York  Jets 13
2)  The Cleveland Browns are an up and coming team, while the Jacksonville Jaguars are still trying to find themselves.  I'll take Cleveland (-1) at home over Jacksonville.   Cleveland Browns -1 
3)  Arizona is not very good, San Francisco can for all intensive purposes win the division this week, with an offense that Alex Smith runs to perfection.  I'll take San Francisco (-9.5) at home over the Arizona Cardinals.  San Francisco 49ers -9.5           
4)  The Detroit Lions will continue to play well at home and go into their Thanksgiving tilt on a good note by beating a Carolina team that is in transition.  I'll take the Detroit Lions (-7) at home against the Carolina Panthers.  Detroit Lions -7
5)  After plying a very good game last week in San Francisco which came down to basically came down to about two drives in the 4th quarter where after Alex Smith had put the 49ers up 7, Eli Manning throws an interception and after a missed assignment by the Giant defense the 49ers go up 14.  Eli was up to the task of bringing the Giants back, he got them back 7 points before the clock ran out on the final drive and they lost by 7.  Big Blue has to get back on the winning track this week as a battered Philadelphia Eagle ( Michael Vick is questionable) team comes in,  the G-men have to put the Eagles to sleep this week. The Eagles are bad and they've got Dallas hot on their heels in the division with games against Green Bay as well as New Orleans, not to mention Dallas still to come.  I think the Giants will come out fired up this week,  give me the New York Giants (-4.5) at home against the Philadelphia Eagles.  NY Giants -4.5
