RJ's NFL Picks, 2012 Edition: Week Eleven - Page 3

Part of: NFL Picks

---RJ's Pick: Denver by 4

Indianapolis 6-3 @ New England 6-3 at 4:25 p.m. (Line: NEW ENGLAND BY 8)

Colts QB Andrew Luck has thrown for fewer than 220 yards just once this season. Patriots DE Rob Ninkovich has 31 tackles, five sacks, and four forced fumbles so far this year. This should be a high-scoring affair, and a fun game to watch.

---RJ's Pick: New England by 13

Baltimore 7-2 @ Pittsburgh 6-3 at 8:20 p.m. (Line: RAVENS BY 3.5)

The Ravens have a +9 turnover ratio this season, but are losing the time of possession battle by more than six minutes per game. The Steelers will be starting Byron Leftwich under center this week due to Ben Roethlisberger's sprained shoulder. Nevertheless, I gotta go with the home team when they are 4-0 at home this season and the away team is just 2-2 on the road.

---RJ's Pick: Pittsburgh by 3

*Monday, November 19*

Chicago 7-2 @ San Francisco 6-2-1 at 8:30 p.m. (Line: SAN FRANCISCO BY 5)

Bears QB Jay Cutler suffered a concussion last week, and it is unknown at this time whether or not he will play. Veteran Jason Campbell is his backup. 49ers QB Alex Smith also suffered a concussion last week, but he looks likely to start. I think the home team will win in a low-scoring game regardless of who starts under center for the Bears.

---RJ's Pick: San Francisco by 1

[Bye Week Teams: Tennessee 4-6, Minnesota 6-4, New York Giants 6-4, Seattle 6-4]

    Good analysis. I'm at 94-52 so far this season (straight up), but may fall this week due to some underdog picks.

    Bills over Dolphins
    Packers over Lions
    Falcons over Cardinals
    Buccaneers over Panthers
    Cowboys over Browns
    Eagles over Redskins
    Rams over Jets
    Chiefs over Bengals
    Texans over Jaguars
    Saints over Raiders
    Broncos over Chargers
    Patriots over Colts
    Ravens over Steelers
    Bears over 49ers

    (Picked the Bears when I thought Alex Smith was going to be out...)
