Week 11 starts with the TNF game between NFC South rivals Carolina and New Orleans where the loser will probably be eliminated from the play-off picture. Both teams are coming off tough losses against teams from the impressive AFC West (best division in football?), both teams blew late leads and lost games they had for their taking, New Orleans at home against Denver and Carolina at home against Kansas City.
Both teams have everything to play for in a divisional rivalry game which could be treated like a playoff eliminator. These two teams met earlier in the year with the Saints winning 41-38. In that game Cam Newton rallied his troops and led a late comeback where the Panthers scored three 4th quarter TD's to tie the game at 38 but it was to no avail as Brees led the Saints into position for a game winning field goal with 11 secs remaining. Brees threw for 465 yards and 4 TD's!
Really tough game to pick with Saints (4-5) mixing their form with some impressive wins and bad losses. The Panthers (3-6) on the other hand have been flat out disappointing after their amazing '15-'16 season. Last year they couldn't lose where as this year they seem to be finding new ways to lose each week, I count 3 games where they really should have won but didn't. Last year Carolina beat New Orleans twice 27-22 at home and 41-38 on the road.

Early night - NAP for me.
Good luck to those staying up. |

I'm leaning Carolina in what is absolutely a must-win game for them. At this stage I'll probably play the ml with Louisville(ncaaf)-14 and a couple of nba games in some accas.

Car -2.5 & under 53.5
Car ML & Benjamin to score a TD Car ML & Newton to score a TD |

No playoffs for Louisville, serves me right for betting on amateur sports. Also Cant believe the amount of times Carolina had the ball on the 1 yard line and Newton didn't take it in. Oh well.
Carolina win 23-20. At least I got the Car & under bet. |

Carolina just playing so differently,,Newton lost his mojo/BOTTLE..Nearly blew up again there,one good play at end only saved them..

Intriguing match-up in Dallas between the Cowboys and Ravens. Best running game in the league (Cowboys) versus the best run defence in the league (Ravens). Ideally the Ravens will want to slow down Ezekiel Elliot and can force Dak to have to make plays to beat them. I'm somewhat tempted by the +7 points and the over.

I like Arizona away to Minnesota in a game with play-off implications. I also like Buffalo at Cincinnati in what has to be just about a must win for both teams.
|

Also a must win game for the Colts against division rivals Tennessee who they seem to have the wood on.

I think Tony Romo should start asking for a trade

I wonder if Seattle and New England will be flat after their big game last week?

He's not going to be playing for Dallas anytime soon and he's 36
|
|
By:
Arizona should trade for him
|
|
By:
Trade deadline has passed...he'll be gone in the off season
|
|
By:
Denver or Arizona would be my guess if he doesn't retire.
Shame he won't get to play again this season. |
|
By:
What's with all the missed extra point conversions today? I think it's up to 11 or 12 now. Atmospheric anomalies?
|
|
By:
That press conference he gave during the week suggested he isn't retiring.....you could definitely see Elway trading for him
Wonder what the trade bounty would be for a QB getting up there in years with a rich injury history.... |
|
By:
Yeah, I'd say they'll probably just release him, the only pieces teams would be willing to give up Dallas probably wouldn't want to sign them anyway. That would be good for Romo because he could restructure a new contract to fit in with whichever teams wanted to sign him and basically choose to which of those teams he wanted to go.

Still cant believe Arizona lost to Minnesota. A dubious 30 yard pass interference call which gave Minn 1st and goal from the 1 yard line which led to a TD, after which they didn't even look like scoring an offensive TD for the resst of the game. Then they had an interception returned 100 yards for a TD and then a 100 yard kick-off return for a TD. Arizona still had their chance to win but Palmer just isn't up to it anymore he's never really delivered in the post-season anyway and I'd be surprised if this season wasn't his last.

Seahawks taking the p*ss out of the Eagles now. Russell Wilson just caught a TD pass.

Giving Green Bay another chance
Green Bay +3 |
|
By:
looks like another unders game, just about every game so far has gone under the total today
|
|
By:
not good giving up a touchdown like that and giving up the lead with less than a minute before half time
|
|
By:
Green Bay are finished
|
|
By:
Washington will win one maybe two more games this season
|
|
By:
wow, overs flying in
 |
|
By:
into the wind, lol
|
|
By:
laid it off in the first quarter too ffs
At least the skins are winning  |
|
By:
where's Bob??
|
|
By:
when every game has gone under you know an over is due
|
|
By:
I think the record was set today for most extra point conversions missed, so they go on about the wind. I blame the magnetic field lines.

Come on Green Bay get a stop
