NFL Betting - Week 11 Picks

Atlanta Falcons @ New York Giants
Sports Betting Odds: Giants -6.5

The Atlanta Falcons are just 2-3 in their last five games and the theme has been consistent in those contests: they just aren't good enough to beat the elite teams in the NFL. While the Falcons have no problem gathering wins against the bottom feeders in this league, their losses have come to the New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints and Dallas Cowboys - all on the road. The Falcons are faced with another tough road contest as they head to East Rutherford to face the New York Giants. Especially since the Falcons may be without their leading rusher, Michael Turner.

The New York Giants have been sliding fairly badly themselves, losing four straight games, but they are still a smart veteran team that is coming off a bye week. They will be far fresher than the Falcons and that could be one of the key factors. On top of that, the Giants should be able to get their running game going with both Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw. When those two players are leading the way and the pressure is off of quarterback Eli Manning, the Giants don't have many problems scoring points in bunches and getting wins. Sunday should be another one of those cases as the Giants roll to a big win.

New York Jets @ New England Patriots
Jets Patriots Odds Odds: Patriots -10

The other New York team - the Jets - has also been slipping recently. They have lost four of their last five games and their bye week didn't help them too much as the Jacksonville Jaguars came in to town and left with a win. The Jets are struggling on offense right now because rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez just isn't providing the spark he once used to. On top of that, he is making a lot of mistakes - including two interceptions last week.

The Jets defense is also fading as they sorely miss defensive tackle Kris Jenkins. They have had trouble stopping the run since he was injured and that could be a lingering concern the rest of the year. For this week, look for the Patriots to score rather easily as their offense is rolling. They'll be looking to atone for their effort last week.
