Last week, despite some stinkers on the schedule, turned out to be a pretty good week to watch football. Gotta love those OT games even if they don’t go the way we thought.
Here we go with the Week 11 Picks. If you want to see how well the experts here at SC stack up against the competition, check out this excel file.

Locks of the Week
Vegas Vinny: I don’t want to be the guy who picks against the Steelers every week even if that idiot Merrill Hoge hates and picks against Philly every week. He’s had multiple blows to the head to explain his stupidity, I have no excuse. My pick is based on the fact that everyone is targeting the Steelers just like they targeted the Patriots. And Cinci is a tough place to play. You saw what happened to Denver in the Jungle. Division games are also notoriously tough. Bengals are getting 4.5 pts on this one and I’m taking them to the bank.
Mile High: I’m going to have to go with this year’s cinderella team and select the San Diego…SUPER CHARGERS!!! (-4). This game has the trappings of coming down to a field goal, and for Drew Brees to come back down to earth, but they still have LaDainian Tomlinson, so don’t look for it to happen against Oakland. More like against Denver 😉 Oaktown will put up a decent fight and show some life at home, especially if they can score early, but the Chargers are too much for them.
Guru Ganu: Ok, my lock of the week picks are not going well to say the least, so let’s try a new strategy…BLIND LOCKS.
This week I will not let the point spread sway my oft wrong thinking, instead, I will play a game of pin the tail on the lock.
(Spinning around three times then pinning)
Philly. Washington is a team in shambles. Joe Gibbs really should have stayed with Penzoil, or whatever racing team he backed. The game has not just passed him by, it has baffled him. Of course, being a long suffering Raider fan, I blame Joe Bugel. Any team with Joe Bugel on their coaching staff is destined for blow out losses.
The Eagles are not just the best team in the NFC they are the ONLY team in the NFC. I don’t care what the spread is, I’ll take the Eagles.
Mr. X: Take the Skins getting 11. I know the EAGLES and I know that Clinton Portis will get the ball 40 times this week. Look for a 20-10 type Eagles win but it will be a boring and low scoring game. Skins (+11) is the pick.
