NFL Week 11 picks and power rankings Sai

Guys, I'd like to apologize in advance if today's newsletter is completely incoherent, but I have a valid excuse: I was forced to watch the offense play football last night and my brain was so appalled by what it saw that it decided to stop working.The good news is that I got most of my motor functions back just in time to type up this newsletter. If you're wondering how painful it was to watch the Bears last night, let me try to put it into perspective: I have a seven-month old daughter who needed her diaper changed during the game and doing that was more exciting than watching the Bears offense. As a matter of fact, I fed her more food than usual last night in hopes that her diaper would need to be changed every time the Bears touched the football.If you didn't watch the game -- first, let me just say that I'm jealous -- all you mi sed was a 19-13 Bears lo s to the where Chicago only put up 32 yards of offense in the second half. I will not bore you with further details. Let's get to the newsletter.As always, here's your weekly reminder to tell all your friends to sign up for the newsletter. All you have to do is . We'll Deebo Samuel Hoodies Sweatshirts gladly accept all new sign-ups, even from Bears fans who have vowed to never watch another game after what they had to sit through last night. 1. Today's Show: Vikings beat unwatchable BearsI can't say this for sure, but I have to think that there were only two groups of people who enjoyed watching the Vikings' 19-13 win over the Bears last night: Vikings fans and family. Although now that I'm thinking about it some more, ' family was probably also pretty thrilled to see him get the first Monday night win of his career.Here are three quick highlights from the game:Kirk Cousins actually played well. Whenever Cousins plays on a Monday, it almost always turns into a disaster, but surprisingly, this game did not. Even though the Bears were able to bottle up , the Vikings were able to win because Cousins came through with 286 yards pa sing and two touchdowns. The win over the Bears gave Cousins his first win ever on "Monday Night Football." Going into the game, he had been 0-9 in his career. Vikings defense shuts down the Bears.Although the Bears offense fell flat on its face in this game, it's only fair to give some credit to the Vikings, who held Chicago to just 149 total yards. The most impre sive part is that Minnesota limited the Bears to just 32 yards total in the second half.Cordarrelle Patterson ties NFL record.The Bears only had one highlight in this game and that came from Patterson, who returned a kickoff 104 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter. The score was the eighth kickoff return TD of his career, which ties him with and Josh Cribbs for the all-time NFL record. If you want to to check out Patterson's Javon Kinlaw Jersey kick return, . As for the podcast, we spent most of our time debating two things. On the Vikings' end, our debate revolved around whether the Vikings can get to the playoffs. Although they're 4-5, they have Deion Sanders Jersey a friendly schedule over the next few weeks with Dallas, Carolina and Jacksonville coming up. As for the Bears, the biggest question for them is whether it's time to blow things up and start over and we were thinking that it might be time to start over, at least at quarterback, head coach and general manager.To listen to today's episode -- and subscribe to the podcast -- . 2. Pete Prisco unveils his Week 11 power rankingsFor the second straight week, you now have Prisco's entire power rankings at your finger tips and it's all thanks to our graphics guy, Mike Meredith, who somehow squeezed all 32 teams into one small graphic. Mike is so good at his job that I might ask him to help me make my Christmas cards this year.Anyway, now that you have Prisco's entire Power Rankings in front of you, let's go through a few things real quick. For one, Prisco actually has two new teams in his top five ( and ), which means he had to dump two teams from his top five, so my apologies in advance to fans of the and , who both got the boot this week.As if Bills fans weren't punished enough by watching their team lose on a Hail Mary, Pete decided to punish them even more by dropping Buffalo three spots in this week's power rankings. Here are a few other fun nuggets that caught my attention this week: The took the biggest tumble, dropping six spots from ninth to 15th. As someone who lives in Nashville, I was highly irritated by this because now my Titans fan neighbors are going to spend the rest of the week asking me why Prisco hates their team. Stop hating on the Titans, Pete! As for the NFC, the team that took the biggest tumble was the Bears, who fell three spots. The and also fell three spots. The moved up two spots even though they took a 37-12 lo s against the . I'm not sure if has some blackmail photos of Prisco that led to this ranking, but I'm starting to think that Drew Lock has some blackmail photos of Prisco that led to this ranking. The made the biggest jump of any team this week, moving up a total of six spots from 29th to 23rd. Pete must have been drinking that Giants Kool-Aid I made for him over the weekend, because he now has the Giants ranked as the best team in the NFC East, which means they're ahead of the Eagles, who are 24th.Prisco clearly hates the , who dropped one spot even though Ray Ray McCloud Jersey they were ON A BYE. I'm not sure if Pete knows, but is back this week. That alone should have bumped them up at least five spots. In related news, there's a reason Pete handles these rankings and not me.In a surprise to no one, the are still ranked last.If you want to argue with Prisco over his rankings, you . I argue with him all the time about everything.3. Breech's Week 11 NFL picksIf it's Tuesday, that means it's time for my weekly picks. I put these together after watching the Bears offense play football last night, so if my picks are bad this week, it's because I was brain-dead.Tenne see (+6.5) at Baltimore:The Ravens run defense is struggling and when your run defense is struggling, is the last human being on the planet that you want to be going up against. Not only do I think the Titans are going to cover here, but I also think they're going to pull off the upset.PICK:Titans win 30-23 and cover.Kansas City (-6.5) at Las Vegas:Not only will the be looking to avenge their Week 5 lo s to the Raiders, but this game is also giving us ANDY REID OFF THE BYE. If you're new around these parts, you may not know that Andy Reid is almost unbeatable off the bye, but Andy Joe Montana Hoodies Sweatshirts Reid is almost unbeatable off the bye. PICK:Chiefs win 41-30 and cover.My betting plan for the week is to parlay the money line (-440 vs. ) with the Chiefs money line (-275 vs. Raiders) and the money line (-420 vs. Jets), which will give me odds of +107 (Bet $100 to win $107).
