NFL Awesome Picks Spectacular Week 11

Because we here at Brainfart love us some football, we decided that we would not only be doing college football picks each week, but we would also be doing some NFL picks, too. So, here is where I make my NAPS (NFL Awesome Picks Spectacular):

Picks are in red

Arizona Cardinals at Atlanta Falcons (-9.5)

Sunday 1:00

-  The Falcons are coming off a loss but they had some errors and still scored 27 points.  That should be enough for the Falcons to cover - the Cardinals have the NFL's second worst offense averaging only 16 points a game.  With all the backup QBs playing for injured starters this week, the Cardinals still might have the worst QB in John Skelton (and sadly, he was their starter Week 1).  The Falcons have motivation to avenge their loss last week and they will slowly pile on the points while their defense handles Arizona - Falcons win by 17.

New Orleans Saints at Oakland Raiders (UNDER 54.5)

Sunday 4:10

- Time to play some weather games.  It is looking a lot like rain Sunday in Oakland which could put a damper on both team's passing game.  Even without the rain, the Saints have embraced the run game a little more lately which will help keep the score down a little.

Jacksonville Jaguars (+15) at Houston Texans

Sunday 1:00

- Plus 15!  This is the NFL - it may take a backdoor cover but no way the Texans are up for this game.

San Diego Chargers at Denver Broncos (-7.5)

Sunday 4:30

- The Broncos have quietly been crushing people.  They have scored 31 points or more in five out of their last six games with Peyton looking unstoppable.  On the other side, Rivers has been mostly a dumpster fire throwing to no one in particular and seemingly not caring which team catches the ball.  I will ride the Broncos and take Rivers turnover gifts to the bank in this match up.
