Welcome to Week 11 of the 2019 NFL season! We’re officially into the make-or-break stretch of the schedule. We know who some of the top playoff teams are, but the bulk of the playoff picture is a jumbled mess with something like 13 teams in the mix for the four wild card berths.
Tonight, we get an AFC North matchup on Thursday Night Football that has significant wild card implications. The Cleveland Browns host the Pittsburgh Steelers, in a matchup that looked big before the season, appeared minor once both teams stumbled out of the gate, and now has picked up some of the urgency. The Browns are 3-6 and absolutely have to win this game to remain in sniffing range of a wild card berth. The Steelers are 5-4 and a win will help them take a step up on the pack of teams on the outside looking in.
I’m back once again with my weekly NFL picks. For Thursday I put together a complete list of straight up picks, and Sunday morning I’ll have my picks against the spread given how much can change between now and then. I’ll have a TNF pick against the spread later this morning.
If you’re in a pick ‘em contest, I’ve put together my complete list of Week 11 straight up picks. You can check out SB Nation’s full list of experts picking here, where I’m 85-63 heading into this week. I’ll have my full list of picks against the spread on Sunday. I’m taking the Steelers +2.5 at DraftKings Sportsbook tonight on TNF, and will have a full write up later this morning.
