Observations and Predictions... Week 11

Last week wasn't great. It started out poorly with the Bears losing on Thursday night and got worst as the Cowboys lost to the Packers. All in all it was a very average week, 8-7.

Top Performers of the Week
QB-Peyton Manning: He and Brady staged a shoot out Sunday night with MAnning getting the upper hand. 327 yards and 4 scores.
WR-Randy Moss: Back to the Sunday night game for the top WR of the week. Moss was brilliant versus the overmatched and young Colts secondary 179 yards and 2 scores.
RB-Chris Johnson: Ran for and caught for over 100 yards. Toss in two scores as well for a huge day.
TE-Kellen Winslow: Winslow had a second straight strong week with Freeman at the helm.
Special Teams-Bengals: Bengals special teams accounted for all the scores in this upset of the Steelers.
Defense-Ravens: pitched a shut out against the awful Browns.

I think the Panthers should be able to hold off the Dolphins. With Ronnie Brown out, does that mean more PAt White in the Wildcat? Cowboys over the Redskins in a close one. Lions beat the Browns. Packers over the Niners. Steelers (my lock of the week) over the Chiefs. Vikings destroy the Seahawks. Giants over the reeling Falcons. Saints kill the Bucs. Jags run all over Buffalo. Indy in a close one over the Ravens. Cardinals beat the Rams. Chargers upset the struggling Broncos. Bengals destroy the Raiders. Pats beat the Jets. Eagles over the Bears. Titans win their 4th in a row over the Texans.

Fantasy Picks of the Week
QB-Kurt Warner: Should light up his former squad.
WR-Marques Colston: TB secondary has struggled. Look for Brees and Colston to connect.
RB-Maurice Jones Drew: The Bills have struggled against the run. Should be a long day versus the Jags workhorse.
TE-Greg Olsen: Philly struggles with TE's, Olsen should give them fits.
Special Teams-Vikings: Longwell kicks and Harvin returns should help dominate the Seahawks.
Defense-Bengals: Should beat the Raiders silly, after their big win against the Steelers last week.
