NFL Big Games for Week 11

This week, one of the biggest games is the very first one on the schedule. The Thursday night game between the Jets and Patriots offer serious repercussions. Right now, the Jets and Patriots are tied atop the AFC East at 6-3. While we forecast an extremely close game,PossessionPoints.com is giving the edge to the home Patriots. Even with this win, our glimpse into the future would have both the Jets and Patriots winding up their seasons at 11-5. Therefore, a win here by the Jets, could truly put them in the driver seat for their Division.

Another important contest is between the NY Giants and the Baltimore Ravens. While this game may not dictate the playoff future of either the Giants or the Ravens, it does help identify if one or both teams represent the “cream of the crop” or a Super Bowl contender. As of now, the Giants are our number 1 team in our Performance Rankings while the Ravens hold the number 5 spot. These teams are the highest ranked teams to be playing each other this week.

The last big game we want to highlight may not seem that big, but it pits the 6-3 Arizona Cardinals against the 2-7 Seattle Seahawks. We mention this game because the Cardinals are emerging as a top-flight team this season, while the Seahawks, who were the class of this Division in recent years, have fallen. The Seahawks are traditionally very tough at home, so the Cardinals get the chance to prove themselves in what may be their toughest remaining Division game.
