Cincinnati Bengals at New Orleans Saints

I seriously considered taking the Bengals to win this one. My thinking was that traditionally Andy Dalton is an up and down QB, so with such a horrible game last week he may be due for a break out this week. However, while something definitely seems “off” with New Orleans compared to last season I still can’t see them dropping two straight games at home where they have traditionally been so good. I think this will be another down to the wire game, but this time I think the Saints come out on top.

Bengals 24
Saints 27

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Washington Redskins

The week 11 NFL schedule is full of match ups between some of the NFL’s best teams. Unfortunately, this isn’t one of them. I see this as a must win for the Redskins if they want to remain a relevant team this season. If they lose at home to the 1-8 Bucs and drop to 3-7 their season is officially over. With Tampa having a suspect pass defense this should be a good opportunity for RG3 to get into a rhythm. Tampa has turned the reigns of the offense back to Josh McCown, but I’m not sure that’s the answer that they’re looking for.
