WEEK 11 shows CONTENDERS and PRETENDERS.....FALCONS, JETS, and PATRIOTS on top...who stays with them After Week 11

The CONTENDERS and PRETENDERS are starting to show in NFL WEEK 11. The PATRIOTS, JETS, and FALCONS have put themselves in the drivers seat for the Conference Leads after week 10.

Every game from here on out means something for those teams still in the race, spoilers, and/or for those players trying to keep jobs for next season.

NFL WEEK 11 GAMES:

THURSDAY NOVEMBER 18, 2010
820PM ET

1. MONSTERS of the MIDWAY @ FINS: BEARS DO NOT......I REPEAT DO NOT take the Dolphins lightly with their 3rd string QB TYLER THIGPEN. He was above average in his mini run at KC a few years back and can go down field. The BEARS have to execute in the Red Zone, make plays in the KICKING Game, and win the Turnover Battle. They do those things and force THIGPEN to pass and stop WILLIAMS and BROWN it should turn their way.
WINNER: BEARS

SUNDAY NOVEMBER 21, 2010
1PM ET

2. RAVENS @ QUEEN CITY: Just what the Doctor Ordered for the RAVENS after a tough loss to the DIRTY BIRDS in the BIRDCAGE in A T L. The RAVENS just have to execute on OFFENSE and DEFENSE and this is an easy one to put in the left column. The PANTHERS are without WILLIAMS and STEWART and playing with rookie QB CLAUSEN.......That PANTHERS D that has been a top 15 will not be able to hold up being on the fields for most of this one.
WINNER: RAVENS

3. TEXANS @ NY FOOTBALL JETS: The TEXANS need to get back to basics. They have not been close to being the same team since about week 5 and the JETS are playing at a high level even though they have two straight OT WINS. HOUSTON RB ARIAN FOSTER needs to have a big one because the JETS Secondary is the best in the NFL. JETS QB SANCHISE needs to play the 1st qtr like he has been playing at the end of games and OT. WR SANTONIO Holmes is starting to make the impact everyone in the JETS Brass thought he would.......this spells trouble for JETS Opponents.
WINNER: J-E-T-S

4. BISON CITY @ THE JUNGLE: If you would have told the BLUEDUDE that the BILLS are 1 game behind the Bengals after week 10 I would have said DAMN!......BILLS making a playoff run........1-8 vs 2-7......ENOUGH SAID........OCHOCINCO is on the hook for a team option of $6 million next year.....and HEAD MAN Marvin Lewis has no contract past week 17.........MIKE BROWN.....MIKE BROWN........Look yourself into the MIRROR BRO.
WINNER: BILLS

5. SILVER AND BLACK @ STEEL CITY: Raiders coming off of an impressive win vs CHIEFS and the RAIDERS look very balanced on Offense as well. The D is very young and playing at a high level and COACH CABLE has gotten to his guys to drink some of that CABLE JUICE.....meanwhile the STEELERS coming off of a beat down at the Big Ketchup Bottle at the hands of the PATS will be looking to get things rolling again.........BRUCE ARIANS.....OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR for STEEL CITY.......you are on the Proverbial CLOCK SIR......Just yesterday the STEELERS cut long-time KICKER JEFF REED who has missed 7 of 22 fg's this year that has cost the STEELERS at least 2 wins.....SEE YOU AT THE LOCAL PUB REED...and stay away from HEINZ Field and the KETCHUP
WINNER: STEELERS

6. DAWG POUND 2K10@ J-VILLE: WOW WHAT A WEEK FOR THE JAGS.......QB GARRARD saves his job and his coaches' at least for the time being and the Browns are building something with PRESIDENT HOLMGREN in HILLIS and McCOY. JAGS are playing for a PLAYOFF Spot and the Browns are playing for JOBS next Year as they are no longer a DOORMAT but the DOOR itself. Real good one in j-ville Sunday.........PICK'EM
WINNER: BROWNS

7. D-LIONS @ 'BOYS: What a week for new coach JASON GARRETT as it looks like he has gotten to the COWBOYS and their play Sunday was what JERRY JONES thought he was getting out of training camp. QB Jon KITNA looked 25 and rookie WR DEZ BRYANT is the TRUTH......reminds me of ANQUAN BOLDIN 2k10....rugged...physical.........and built to last.......DEZ 450 SUPERCAB. The LIONS don't have QB STAFFORD and only one real threat in wr CALVIN JOHNSON aka MEGATRON. With that being said JERRY looks like he will have a happy TURKEY DAY until the SAINTS come marching in.
WINNER: COWBOYS

8. THE PACK @ VIKINGS NATION: This would have meant a lot if the VIKES take care of business last week at CHICAGO. But they seemed distracted a little......by what?.....I DON'T KNOW...maybe the weather....or the......COACH. Look it is over in MINNESOTA so lets see two things.......ALL DAY AP getting 30 touches and QB JACKSON getting some playing time....the have nothing to win and all to gain.......MEANWHILE PACK QB RODGERS and LB CLAY " ROBOCOP" MATTHEWS Jr. is unstoppable at this point.
WINNER: THE PACK

9. CARDS @ CHIEFS: This what the CHIEFS need a team that is playing lackluster like the Cards who have already turned it in it looks like. The CHIEFS are still tied for first in division and are playing for a playoff berth. They need to get back to running the ball, the kicking game, and having CASSELL throw it about 5 times.......and everything is positive after that......talk about FRANCHISE QB.....WHERE?
WINNER: CHIEFS

10. 'SKINS @ MUSIC CITY: Is this the BATTLE of the DISGRUNTLED QB's. Neither one of these guys are the GUY it seems like and like a bad HS coach when you turnover the ball.....YOU WILL BE SITTING WITH ME if that HAPPENS SYNDROME. This game means something for both as they are still in the playoff picture in their respective conferences....THAT'S IT ....THE BLUEDUDE will not be watching this one .....DAWG
WINNER: TITANS

405PM ET

11. 12TH ZONE @ BIG EASY: WHO DAT? NATION should be ready to make that run. QB BREES looks like things are looking up and the Offense will get a fresh dose of backs asPIERRE THOMAS and REGGIE BUSH will be active for this one. Seahawks goin nowhere and they play in the WORST DIVISION in football. Coach Pete Carroll is doing his best though for the fans in the NORTHWEST to drink some of that CARROLL PROPEL WATER and it is working.........they will need some of that this week in NAWLINS to.
WINNER: SAINTS

12. DIRTY BIRDS @ GATEWAY ARCH: The Falcons just need to concentrate on this one and this only and not get caught up in who's winning the other games. RYAN to RODDY WHITE will be tough to stop for RAMS.....But COACH SPAGS has everyone in the LOU buying his stock and the RAMS look like they are finally starting build something after the GREATEST SHOW on TURF. They will need a few of those guys from that team to stave of the BIRDS Sunday.
WINNER: FALCONS

13. BUCS @ NINERS: 9ERS are playing for the DIVISION still and the BUCS are playing for the DIVISION and Playoffs in the NFC as well. This will be a must win for both and they both need it. THESE two coaches need to be mic'd up for this one........QB TROY SMITH might have save the season for the NINERS and BUCS QB JOSH FREEMAN is the TRUTH for the BUCS..........TURNOVERS, RED ZONE TD'S, and KICKING GAME will decide this one in a big way.
WINNER: 9ERS

14. COLTS @ FOXBORO: COLTS are not playing like world beaters and the PATS are starting to play like they are the best in the NFL.....at least from last weeks assessment. MANNING misses TE DALLAS CLARK as the whole offense seems to be out of sink. The Defense is solid considering they are playing with a lot of guys out on that side of the ball. BRADY and Company need to pick up where they left off in STEEL CITY....I THINK he just has the STEELERS number....but the whole team rose up and played well. The PATS Defense will be the key in this one......and if the COLTS win you might have 4 teams in the AFC at 7-3......at weeks end......WOW
WINNER: COLTS

820PM ET

15. NY FOOTBALL GIANTS @ PAT'S CHEESESTEAKS: The G-MEN need to play better on DEFENSE in order to stop the VICK and the all of sudden high-powered offense of the EAGLES. WARNING G-MEN: NO SPIES AND PLAY A LOT OF COVER 2 ZONE.........Played the game on MADDEN 11 and the EAGLES ate me up in MAN COVERAGE and VICK went SANDLOT and PEE WEE on us. This will be for the NFC EAST lead as both Teams come in at 6-3. EAGLES get your checkbook out......#7 will demand a lot of money from somebody.......EAGLES WOULD BE SMART TO FRANCHISE HIM which would still cost them about $20 million next year
WINNER: EAGLES...............and CHEESESTEAK'S for everyone

MONDAY NOVEMBER 22, 2010

830PM ET

16. BRONCOS @ THE MURPH: Only thing worth watching in this one is RIVERS vs ORTON...after that the SCOREBOARD.........and then after that........THANKSGIVING IS THURSDAY.
WINNER: BOLTS......I THINK......KICKING GAME NORV......KICKING GAME
