NFL Week 11

Cincinnati -5.5 (-105)
It wasn't a very good road for the Bengals. They are 0-2 in their last two and my guess is they can't wait to get home. The cats are due for a good performance and they can't afford to lose again to the Browns. Heading into a bye week next week, the Bengals need to have a strong performance. I'm betting that the home crowd won't be disappointed.

Jets/Bills over 40 (-110)
Regardless of the matchup, I think a 40 point total line is very low. These are professional football players who are played to make plays and score points. The Jets have proven that they can score points on a big stage, beating the Patriots and the Saints. As for the Bills, they have lost 3 straight and don't want to lose to a divisional opponent at home. I have a hunch this can turn into one of those sloppy back-and-forth games.

Washington +4.5
The Skins are a funny team to watch. They'll have games that remind you of the old run-and-gun RGIII  where the kid can't be stopped, then they'll go and lose to a team like the Vikes. An interesting trend though is the last 3 times the Skins lost, they rebounded the next week with a win. We're betting they'll do the same this week. And with a 4.5 point cushion, I like the Skins this week.

Patriots +1 ***3 Units***
Easily, EASILY, our favourite play of the week. The Pats are in Carolina for a primetime showdown on Monday night. And don't look now AFC, but the Patriots may be a dark horse down the road. With Gronk and Amendola healthy, plus the likely return of Talib, Arrington, and Vereen this week, the Pats are the healthiest they've been since the start of the season (minus Vince Wilfork, damn). Brady is starting to find rhythm with his young group and have put up 27 points or more in their last 4 games. Including a 55-point show vs. the Steelers. They will be tested this week against the Panthers D, but I think Tom is chomping at the bit to get back out with a healthy offence.
