NFL Week 11 Picks From the MMQB Staff: Two Huge NFC Showdowns

It’s Week 11! Some teams are inching closer to the playoffs, while others like the Giants are moving on to the coaching market.

Perhaps the biggest game of the week is an NFC West showdown between the Rams and Seahawks. Both are tied at 7–3 and both are peaking right now. Though that’s not the only game between NFC contenders, as the Lions will visit the Eagles for a possible playoff preview on Sunday Night Football. Over in the AFC, the Chiefs have won nine consecutive AFC West titles, but they are 2.5 games behind the Broncos heading into their matchup in Denver on Sunday.

Here’s who we have making picks this week:

Conor Orr, senior writer
Gilberto Manzano, staff writer
Matt Verderame, staff writer
John Pluym, managing editor
Mitch Goldich, senior editor
Clare Brennan, associate editor

All picks are straight up. Visit SI Betting for picks against the spread and much more gambling content.
