Week 11 Results: 12 Wins 4 Losses
Season Record: 107 Wins 57 Losses
Win of Week 11:
Jaguars beating the snot out of the dysfunctional Chargers.
Power 5
1. Patriots (10-0) — From opening kickoff that just looked unfair.
2. Packers (9-1) – Packers seem to be getting better every week.
3. Cowboys (9-1) – If both teams can win on Thanksgiving there will be a showdown in week 13 Packers and Cowboys.
4. Colts (8-2) – Colts need to continue to fight through the injuries and get healthy for a deep playoff run.
5. Jaguars (7-3) – Florida team climbs back into elite 5. Hopefully they can stay a little longer this time around.
Thursday, Nov. 22
Green Bay at Detroit 12:30 pm
Does Detroit ever win on Thanksgiving?
Packers 37 Lions 24
N.Y. Jets at Dallas 4:15 pm
I would have never imagined the Jets would win another game all year if it wasn’t against the dolphins then they beat the powerful Steelers. Lightning won’t strike again this week.
Cowboys 45 Jets 13
Indianapolis at Atlanta 8:15 pm
The Falcons are only missing Mike Vick…take a look at the pieces the Colts will play without.
Colts 31 Falcons 13
Sunday, Nov. 25
Buffalo at Jacksonville 1:00 pm
Jags roll at home.
Jags 30 Bills 13
Denver at Chicago 1:00 pm
Coming in the season this looked like a great power showdown. Still a big game but only because loser will have a difficult time getting into the second season.
Bears 27 Broncos 18
Houston at Cleveland 1:00 pm
This is an exciting game. I advise you to tune if you have the NFL package.
Texans 31 Browns 30
Minnesota at N.Y. Giants 1:00 pm
Giants are fading but at least they are fighting this year.
Giants 31 Vikings 10
New Orleans at Carolina 1:00 pm
Another game that was supposed to feature to good teams but in reality has ended up being a game between two dissolving teams.
Saints 34 Panthers 20
Oakland at Kansas City 1:00 pm
Best wishes to Priest Holmes it was very brave of him to come back and give it a shot. I hope that the games he was able to play brought closure to his career.
Chiefs 17 Raiders 13
Seattle at St. Louis 1:00 pm
I have seen a good sum of people picking the Rams to upset the Seahawks. I do not see it happening the Seahawks are hitting their stride and could be dangerous in the playoffs.
Seahawks 34 Rams 24
Tennessee at Cincinnati 1:00 pm
The Titans are a little overrated but the Bengals are sinking fast.
Titans 23 Bengals 21
Washington at Tampa Bay 1:00 pm
This seems to be a close fun fought game every year.
Bucs 27 Redskins 23
San Francisco at Arizona 4:05 pm
If the Cardinals can get into the playoffs they will be a scary team.
Cardinals 31 49ers 9
Baltimore at San Diego 4:15 pm
Quick fact these two teams had the best records in the AFC last year and putting basically the same team on the field this year. To say the least both have fallen on hard times.
Chargers 26 Ravens 24
Philadelphia at New England 8:15 pm
When will Vegas put a line on the Patriots putting up a 100 on someone…my money would be when they play the Jets.
Pats 45 Eagles 28
Monday, Nov. 26
Miami at Pittsburgh 8:30 pm
ESPN cannot be happy with the terrible games they have gotten on the network this year.
Steelers 38 Dolphins 3

Florida Football Magazine’s Week 11 NFL Picks
By Rudy Keezer
rk@ae-engine.com
Week 10 Results: 9 Wins 5 Losses
Season Record: 95 Wins 53 Losses
Win of Week 10: Packers dominating the Vikings.
Power 5
1. Patriots (9-0) — The Colts were an extremely tough test for the Pats but lets not get ahead of ourselves they still have to beat a real good Steelers team in order to run the table.
2. Packers (8-1) – Packers move up to their highest spot of the year after a powerful performance against the Vikings.
3. Cowboys (8-1) – Still rolling. 3 Games in 11 days might take a toll.
4. Colts (7-2) – The Colts have been hit with the injury bug…lets see what kind of depth they have.
5. Steelers (7-2) – Under the radar…they would be tough if they can get the bye week in the playoffs.
Sunday, Nov. 18
Arizona at Cincinnati 1:00 pm
Bengals come off a big win after shutting down the Ravens but look for Arizona to score big in this shootout.
Cardinals 38 Bengals 34
Carolina at Green Bay 1:00 pm
Panthers are looking worse every week. For once Brett will be the younger quarterback.
Pack 31 Panthers 10
Cleveland at Baltimore 1:00 pm
Will the Browns be able to come into the Raven’s house and put up points? Won’t matter because the Ravens hardly score any points.
Browns 23 Ravens 17
Kansas City at Indianapolis 1:00 pm
Colts are depleted but still have enough to beat the Chiefs at home.
Colts 31 Chiefs 17
Miami at Philadelphia 1:00 pm
Dolphins are bad and starting a rookie quarterback on the road is not going to make them better.
Eagles 45 Dolphins 3
New Orleans at Houston 1:00 pm
Saints come off a disappointing loss against a then winless Rams team. The Texans get some pieces back on offense.
Texans 31 Saints 30
Oakland at Minnesota 1:00 pm
Culpepper returns to Minnesota looking for revenge.
Raiders 24 Vikings 16
Pittsburgh at N.Y. Jets 1:00 pm
J-E-T-S L-O-S-E!!!
Steelers 37 Jets 16
San Diego at Jacksonville 1:00 pm
Chargers win over Colts probably mentally feels worse than a loss. Big win for the Jags last week.
Chargers 24 Jags 23
Tampa Bay at Atlanta 1:00 pm
Harrington really has not played bad this year. And 3 wins to date is more than most would have predicted for the Falcons before the season started. It is beyond me why he is going to get benched for a guy heavier than me.
Bucs 23 Falcons 13
Washington at Dallas 4:15 pm
The skins were going to have a difficult time slowing down the boys but without Sean Taylor they got no chance.
Cowboys 31 Skins 16
N.Y. Giants at Detroit 4:15 pm
Interesting game…one of these teams is going to be quickly sliding the wrong direction.
Lions 29 Giants 20
St. Louis at San Francisco 4:15 pm
This is a bad game. The highlight could be Steven Jackson putting up big numbers.
Rams 31 49ers 13
Chicago at Seattle 4:15 pm
The Hawks looked real real good Monday night. Question is was it just because they were playing the 49erless team.
Seahawks 24 Bears 23
New England at Buffalo 8:15 pm
Bills seem to be hip pick but look out for the screaming Pats coming off a bye.
Patriots 34 Bills 21
Monday, Nov. 19
Tennessee at Denver 8:30 pm
Is there any team more difficult to figure out then the Broncos?
Broncos 27 Titans 13

Week 9 Results: 12 Wins 2 Losses
Season Record: 86 Wins 48 Losses
Win of Week 9: You guessed it…Pats over Colts
Power 5
1. Patriots (9-0) — The Colts were an extremely tough test for the Pats but lets not get ahead of ourselves they still have to beat a real good Steelers team in order to run the table.
2. Colts (7-1) – Colts can feel good that they could have won the game and next time they will have all their key players.
3. Cowboys (7-1) –Showdown this weekend with the G Men.
4. Packers (7-1) –Farve and company keep on winning but my a small margin.
5. New York Giants (6-2) –If they can knock off the Cowboys they have a chance for a bye and homefield if they lose they will be a wildcard.
Note: I will be off to the Muck City Bowl (along with the NFL Films crew) so this week short and simple.

Florida Football Magazine’s Week 9 NFL Picks
By Rudy Keezer
rk@ae-engine.com
Week 8 Results: 10 Wins 3 Losses
Season Record: 74 Wins 46 Losses
Win of Week 8:
Packers beating the Broncos at Mile High on Monday Night.
Power 5
1. Patriots (8-0) —The Pats are still dominating everyone they play…nobody is mentioning they are running the football like the Packers.
2. Colts (7-0) –Either the Colts are a lot better than I thought or Jaguars are a lot worse. The Colts have played a much tougher schedule than the Pats. What does that mean? We will find out as the year goes on.
3. Cowboys (6-1) – Packers and Giants are gaining on the Boys in the NFC.
4. Packers (6-1) –Big win on Monday for the Packers who might have found a running game. Without a horrible 2nd half against the Bears the Packers would be undefeated.
5. New York Giants (6-2) –It wasn’t pretty in London but they got the job done.
Sunday, Nov. 4
Arizona at Tampa Bay 1:00 pm
Will the Bucs lose three in a row? The key to the game will be for the Bucs to shut down James and get to Warner. If this happens the Bucs win.
Bucs 24 Cardinals 23
Carolina at Tennessee 1:00 pm
I have no idea how either of these teams have a winning record. Look for the home team Titans to win a close one.
Titans 13 Panthers 10
Cincinnati at Buffalo 1:00 pm
These are two disappointing teams. The difference is the that the Bills are moving up and the Bengals are in a complete slide downward.
Bills 27 Bengals 21
Denver at Detroit 1:00 pm
Kitna predicted the Lions would win 10 games and everyone laughed now it looks like that was a low estimate. Which is hard to believe since at the start of the season they were winning with offense now they are winning with defense. If both elements show up at the same time watch out…
Lions 34 Broncos 23
Green Bay at Kansas City 1:00 pm
Statement: The Chiefs are not as good as their record…and the Packers may have found a run game.
Packers 27 Chiefs 17
Jacksonville at New Orleans 1:00 pm
New Orleans is on a nice win streak. Thing is they have not played anybody that looks remotely decent on the streak. Something you might not know though is the Saints have not given up 100 yards rushing in the last 5 games.
Saints 31 Jags 17
San Diego at Minnesota 1:00 pm
This should be fun game featuring the two best running backs in the league. Big difference is the Chargers have other weapons and the Vikes do not.
Chargers 38 Vikings 13
San Francisco at Atlanta 1:00 pm
Boo…Boo…Boo
49ers 17 Falcons 16
Washington at N.Y. Jets 1:00 pm
Not a good time for Clemens to start…the Skins D will be fired up after lost weeks embarrassment.
Skins 27 Jets 3
Seattle at Cleveland 4:05 pm
Branch and Hackett should be back for the Hawks. The Browns are tough at home.
Browns 31 Seahawks 30
Houston at Oakland 4:15 pm
I really would have liked to have seen the Texans have a healthy Andre Johnson this year.
Texans 31 Raiders 13
New England at Indianapolis 4:15 pm
Yeah I will be watching this game…and really wish Marvin Harrison was on the field.
Patriots 34 Colts 31
Dallas at Philadelphia 8:15 pm
This is a nice Sunday night game.
Cowboys 27 Eagles 17
