Last week saw some of the craziest action in some time for the National Football League. Almost all the road teams won, many of them pulling off upsets. One of them was the Kansas City Chiefs, who went into Sports Authority Field and clubbed the Denver Broncos, 29-13.
Going into Week 11, there is suddenly a logjam at the bottom of the AFC playoff standings, with four teams within a game of the final Wild Card spot. This week should represent some movement, with many of those teams playing either against each other or against quality opponents.
Here are the Week 11 NFL picks, with the odds via OddsShark.
Kansas City Chiefs (-2.5) at San Diego Chargers
The Chiefs are desperately trying to keep their momentum rolling. Kansas City (4-5) has won three straight games including breaking the hex that Denver has held on it. San Diego (2-7) is an awful team with all kinds of injuries and a complete lack of home-field advantage. The Chiefs should win this game, but they are the Chiefs, so we should all be terrified.
Pick: Kansas City 24, San Diego 13
Tennessee Titans at Jacksonville Jaguars (-2.5)
If Jacksonville (3-6) wins this damn game, it will actually be a half-game out of a playoff spot thanks to the rancid AFC South. Meanwhile, Tennessee (2-7) is terrible and simply hoping for development out of Marcus Mariota.
Pick: Jacksonville 20, Tennessee 17
Indianapolis Colts at Atlanta Falcons (-7)
Atlanta (6-3) has been faltering in recent weeks, losing three straight games. Indianapolis (4-5) is starting Matt Hasselbeck and looks like a team that belongs in college. The Falcons have to rise up and take care of business, right?
Pick: Atlanta 30, Indianapolis 20
