Shoe's Corner

NFL WEEK #11 2010

Another tough week behind us with success! 9-5 SU & 8-6 ATS in Week #10. MYB official NFL plays go 2-1 with a tough loss @ Cleveland (Eric Wright- you stink!). We were banking on 3-0 but unfortunately the less intelligent "player" on the field forgot that scoring a TD in overtime is also a winning combination!

As I always do a few acknowledgments:
Houston nice job a Jacksonville...Really you'd think that having the best RB in the league would warrant him touching the ball a little more than 15 times, but I guess not, you deserve the loss!
Eric Wright!!!!
Ed Hochuli- Thanks for sticking it to the bettor, as you always do, than handing the win to SF with a BS PI call in overtime giving the home team an easy way out of the debacle you put them in!

WEEK #11 NFL PICKS:

CHIC@MIA-1 - Looks like a QB issue in this game, right? But the question is: Which teams QB has "the issue"? Shoe say Chicago! Cutler has to be the most erratic QB in the NFL. While under Martz's wing, he hasn't learned to fly. Combine that with one of the worst head coaches in the NFL, Chicago goes on the road to meet the young guns in Miami. MIA20-CHIC13

BUFF@CINCY-6 - Buff got a W, but can they get 2W's? In this game Shoe looks at the QB's and which team has the advantage? Clearly Buffalo, as Palmer is over the hill and will limp off to television stardom in the near future...but is it enough, on the road, and against a home team who will set up the run and find a way to get the ball into the hands of "TOCHO". BUFF31-CINCY30

DET@DALL-7 - BIG D-BIG WIN n NYG & JG new BFF n * Town; sorry thought I was texting; Detroit has it's issues, but has prepared to play diligently every week, regardless of their W/L record. Dallas the exact opposite and their record proves it. Could this be a trap game for Team Dallas? Nope! It's a trap game for the sucker Dallas fan! DET28-DAL27

BALT-10.5@CAR - Carolina is atrocious, has many injury issues, and is fielding a team who has little talent. Baltimore looks past this game and will attempt early and often a ball control field position contest, keeping Carolina in the game up until the end. Let's hope there is no pick six, giving Balt the back door cover. BALT20-CAR14

CLEVE@JAX-1 - Everyone is starting to get on the Brown's bandwagon, Hillis is a stud, but that's about all they got except for a continued team effort on D. Which leads me the Browns D....they have been exposed, and Jacksonville will exploit Eric Wright all day long. JAX38-CLEVE21

OAK@PITT-7.5 - Oakland coming off a bye, travels to a pissed off and embarrassed Pitt team who had their asses handed to them in prime time Sunday Night. Oakland has a revived run game, which is the key to their success this year. Pitt knows that and will stack it up in the box all day long. The question is, which Pitt O will show up? PITT23-OAK9

WASH@TENN-7 - At first I thought Snyder and Shanahan were morons (D McNabb $78M-5yrs?), but now we know they can dump the bum for $3.78M at any time- good move! The mighty Titans come off a bye week, and are eager to dominate, healthy and prepared. Washington? Not so much...LOL! TENN37-WASH17

ARIZ@KC-7.5 - KC in a tail spin, Arizona in a race with Seattle and WAIT STOP THE PRESSES...SFrancisco? Where the hell did they come from? Arizona will play admirably this week, but the swirling Chiefs will right the ship. KC27-ARIZ17

GBAY-3@MINN - The Packers at the Vikings....Are the Vikings done yet? No don't think so, too much pride to go down not slinging. Really sick and tired of the "Favre" "Childress" "Team" thing going on? Get sicker, because against all odds here, Favre pulls off another miracle! MINN27-GBAY23

HOUS@NYJ-7 - This is what's wrong with the NFL, Houston goes to Jax and it's a shoot out air fare, Houston goes to NYJ, and will keep it on the ground- ugh! NYJ17-HOUS14

ATL-3.5@STL - Atlanta the best team in the NFL? Shoe say not so much, they are good, but not the best, even though they tout the best record. STL is good at home, Sam Bradford is pretty damn good for what he has to work with... STL24-ATL21

TBAY@SF-3 - TBAY has the best road record in the NFL, but their RUN D is not good. My man Josh Freeman is an Eliminator Pool Killer! Can he do it again this week to the Eliminator pickers who have little to choose from but the Niners? Not likely, but he will keep it interesting. My man Coach Singletary and My man "Mr. Heisman" Troy "the boy" Smith will handle their new found push toward the playoffs commendably. SF24-TBAY17

SEAT@NO-12 - SEATTLE is one whacked out team to try to figure out. Coach Carol, what's up? NO should dominate this game, but Seattle getting alot of points here. Shoe say Seattle MIGHT get a sloppy back door cover. NO33-Seat17

INDY@NE-3.5 - This used to be such an elite hyped up game, but with the parity in the NFL, it's just another game with some oh well could be a good game interest...Indy is sooooo banged up, but continues to compete, NE is definitely the better team here, but their D is young and inconsistent. Can Manning make them look bad? Yes, but his receivers can't. NE31-INDY23

NYG@PHILLY-3.5 - Philly Vick and Jackson McCoy dueling Eli Bradshaw and Nick's Giants! This should be a great game, I don;t think the public is going to give the Giants much of a chance here, but the Shoe say it's close one. Philly speeds past the lumber some but stronger Giant. Philly30-NYG27

DEN@SD-10 - Well Shoe say what? Shoe say he has been perfect predicting this game since two weeks ago! Shoe guaranteed a SD win, then followed it up with a Denver win!! Look ma no hands!! SD is back in the playoff hunt! Thank God for ratings and market share! LOL!! No the NFL isn't "fixed"! Only when it needs to be almighty Dollar! SD48-DEN28
