NFL’s Top Week 11 Games

Picture Credit: All-Pro Reels

Week 10 of the NFL season gave viewers all they could ask for. Nine of the weekend’s fourteen games were decided by one score. A battle between the Steelers and Commanders came down to the final seconds, with Pittsburgh escaping as the victor. Kansas City remained undefeated off of a blocked field goal in the closing moments against Denver. The Lions overcame Jared Goff’s five interceptions to beat the Texans. After all of that excitement, you’d expect a down week to follow. Instead, the Week 11 slate looks to be one of the best of the season. This should be an action-packed weekend featuring matchups between some of the best teams in the NFL. I’ve listed the NFL’s top Week 11 games, along with score predictions for each.

5. Falcons @ Broncos

Both of these teams are in danger of losing their grasp on a solid start to the season. Denver came into the year with no outside expectation of success. Behind a talented offensive line, Bo Nix has proved doubters wrong with efficient play. Through ten games, Denver’s .500 record has them firmly in the AFC wild card race. With a loss to Atlanta this weekend, that position could quickly slip away. The Falcons have endured a grueling schedule to lead the NFC South, but Tampa Bay lies close behind. Broncos’ cornerback Patrick Surtain II is capable of locking down the opposition’s top receiving option. However, Atlanta’s offense has too many talented skill position players for one man to contain.

ATL 24-17 DEN

4. Bengals @ Chargers

Joe Burrow and the Bengals offense continue to play at an elite level. It continues to be in vain due to the complete ineptitude of every Bengals defensive player not named Trey Hendrickson. Why should we expect anything different against a Chargers team that’s playing as well as they have in years? Los Angeles has allowed fewer points than any other team in the NFL by a wide margin. Players like Daiyan Henley and Poona Ford have seen their careers resurrected under the leadership of Jesse Minter and Jim Harbaugh. This will be a statement game for the Chargers.

LAC 21-18 CIN

3. Commanders @ Eagles

A division rivalry in which the winner takes the top spot in the NFC East ranks third in my top NFL games of Week 11. That just goes to show how good this slate of games is. Washington came up just short last weekend against a formidable Steelers squad, but the Commanders showed that they can compete with elite teams. This week brings one of their toughest tests yet. Philadelphia has followed Saquon Barkley’s lead all the way to a 7-2 record this season. Barkley is averaging nearly six yards per attempt, with a league-high 24 carries of at least 10 yards. I expect Washington to take their second consecutive loss, falling further behind in the race for the division title.

PHI 27-24 WAS

2. Ravens @ Steelers

The rivalry between the Ravens and Steelers is one of the greatest in football. Mix in the fact that the winner of this game will take the lead in the AFC North, and you’ve got the potential for a blockbuster. In this game, an unstoppable force will meet an immovable object. Baltimore has been dominant on offense, led by MVP frontrunner Lamar Jackson and OPOY frontrunner Derrick Henry. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh’s defense has been playing lights out all season. T.J. Watt leads the best defensive front in the league, a unit that could wreak havoc on an inexperienced Ravens offensive line. I’ll pick great offense to prevail against great defense.

BAL 28-21 PIT

1. Chiefs @ Bills

If you need some help getting excited for this matchup, just take a look at the playoff battles between these two teams in recent years. The two best passers in the league have a storied history. Back in 2021, Mahomes and the Chiefs took down Allen and the Bills in the AFC Championship Game in fairly dominant fashion. The next year, Kansas City edged out an overtime win over Buffalo in the divisional round. Last season, Mahomes bested Allen yet again, winning by a field goal in the divisional round. Allen and the Bills will be hungry for revenge this weekend. Kansas City has scraped by in more than a few games this season en route to their perfect record. This is where their luck runs out.

BUF 31-30 KC
