NFL Week 11: Big Divisional Showdowns This Week

There are a couple of really great match-ups this week, Green Bay has a tough game, and Minnesota could put another game in the win column.

Minnesota faces the Dallas Cowboys, they are on their 4th, or 5th or I don't know which quarterback they are on. Can he be good enough to lead the team to a win, or another loser. Dallas are notoriously slow starters and then they get a second life in the second half, if Minnesota can hold them and play smart, this should give the Vikings another win and gain ground on Chicago and GB.

Green Bay, on the other hand, might have a tough game. The Colts are looking strong and they are playing at home, which could spell disaster. If the real Aaron Rodgers shows up and the defense can get in Phillip Rivers' face, this will be another step toward winning the division for the Pack, if not. Indianapolis could be looking like a force to be reckoned with.

Other games that look like fun, the Thursday game with Arizona and Seattle. Seattle needs to win to take over the division. They look beatable now. Arizona and Seattle are hurting after last-minute losses. NO against Atlanta, the Falcons are the most dangerous losing record team and could spell bad news for the Saints.

Pittsburgh looks unbeatable, that's why Jacksonville could upset them. It's always the team you expect least. Tennessee could have Baltimore's number, but the Ravens look strong and need to win, being at home will help. Miami looks like they are the hottest team in the league. Taking Ryan Fitzpatrick out and putting in Tua looked like a mistake, but now they are saying, Ryan who?

KC and Las Vegas always put on a good show, but I think KC is starting to rev up to defend their Super Bowl win, so this one might be in the Chiefs' favor. One of the games of the week is in Tampa Bay. Tom Brady has looked stupid when it comes to good defenses, and this one is good. This is where he proves if he can take this team all the way or they might have one more year before things might happen.

Here are this week's games with the picks and records down below.

• Arizona Cardinals vs Seattle Seahawks
