Week 11 of the 2024 NFL season is right here, and it gives an amazing slate of video games for followers.
The early Sunday window sees a large sport within the AFC North between the Baltimore Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Sunday slate additionally options intriguing video games between the Chicago Bears and the Inexperienced Bay Packers, in addition to the sport between the Atlanta Falcons and the Denver Broncos.
Then there’s the titanic conflict between the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs and the Buffalo Payments.
Will we see any upsets this week? Listed here are some video games the employees at SB Nation are eying.
New England Patriots (+5) over Los Angeles Rams
Sure pals, that is a fully disgusting homer choice.
However the hope is again in New England in relation to the Patriots.
Drake Maye’s dramatic landing on the ultimate play of regulation two weeks in the past towards the Tennessee Titans was the primary spark of pleasure, and whereas that sport ended with Maye throwing an interception in time beyond regulation in a New England loss, final weekend towards the Chicago Bears was a distinct story. Maye threw a landing on the offensive aspect of the ball, and his defensive teammates flustered fellow rookie quarterback Caleb Williams in New England’s 19-3 win.
Now the Patriots are welcoming in Matthew Stafford and the Rams, as they make the cross-country journey to play within the early Sunday window. That may be a recipe for an upset in my guide.

Washington Commanders (+4.5) over Philadelphia Eagles
Did everybody simply neglect how good the Commanders are? This workforce solely misplaced by one level to an excellent Steelers workforce, and I generally tend to assume that a significant component in that loss was Brian Robinson Jr. being out damage, their main rusher.
I’m not saying that is going to be a simple sport, however there’s little or no to make me imagine that the Eagles are value something greater than the usual house sport +3 line. On the very least I believe this could possibly be one other one level sport, and reality be instructed I truly assume Washington will go in and win this one.
The Kliff Kingsbury unfold is brutal to defend towards, and despite the fact that Philly’s go protection is stellar I can’t shake the sensation that this one would possibly shock them.

Atlanta Falcons (+2.5) over Denver Broncos
This sport might really go both manner, however I’m an enormous fan of what the Falcons have on offense. They face a troublesome Broncos’ protection, however it’s additionally a protection that has been inclined to receptions by working backs (twenty second in DVOA towards RBs, high 10 towards each different ability place). Atlanta has a drive of nature in RB Bijan Robinson and a ability place group able to placing up some huge numbers offensively.
On the opposite aspect of the ball, I fear about QB Bo Nix towards a workforce that’s predicated on capitalizing on errors. Nix has performed nicely lately, exhibiting plenty of progress in areas I used to be involved in for his progress. Now, he goes up towards an Atlanta workforce with no true go rush. Nonetheless, safeties Jessie Bates and Justin Simmons will give him issues, and I believe they drive a mistake out of him.
