Joe's Week 11 Locks

Pittsburgh @ (-8) Cleveland. My Pick, Pittsburgh 31-17. The Browns give up 30 every week. Why should this be any different? I would expect Kessler to struggle with the wind and the cold but crazier things have happened. This will be a methodical beatdown by the Steelers.
Baltimore @ (-7) Dallas. My Pick, Baltimore 27-26. Vegas says it has to happen at some point. The Cowboys are 8-0-1 against the spread this year with the tie coming in week 1. I still say Baltimore stinks but being a Cleveland fan I have to accept the sports gods are against me.
Miami @ (+2.5) LA Rams. My Pick, Miami 24-13. It's not just the fact that a #1 overall pick QB hasn't won their first start since David Carr, it's also the Rams are terrible. Check that, the offense is terrible while the defense is at least NFL quality. The Dolphins are on a roll and it continues with their second win on the west coast in a row.
Green Bay @ (-2.5) Washington. My Pick, Washington 34-30. I've been calling the Packers better than they look for 10 weeks. Well, fool me once... Even though the Redskins should have been a Browns victim, they've pulled it together and could be the only team in this match up to make the playoffs.
Houston @ (-5.5) Oakland. My Pick, Oakland 28-10. Monday night games have been mostly terrible the last few years and this is no exception. Question for Browns fans, where would the anger be at if they had thrown $72 million at Brock Osweiler? This Texans teams is somehow 6-3 with a -27 point differential, good for 8th worst in the league. This is a bottom 5 team and they get destroyed by the Raiders to end the week.
  

Week 10 Review

Cleveland @ (-9.5) Baltimore. My Pick, Baltimore 29-20. What Happened, Baltimore 28-7. Well, once again the Browns found themselves in a game...for a half. They actually lead 7-6 at the break but something happens in the locker room every week where they are reminded of the awful team they are. Denver @ (-2.5) New Orleans. My Pick, New Orleans 27-23. What Happened, Denver 25-23. Turns out the Browns may not have the worst special teams in the league. The Saints lost this on an extra point block return and followed that up in their loss to Carolina on Thursday night with a punt and field goal blocked. The Saints slim playoff hopes are hanging on by a thread. Green Bay @ (+2.5) Tennessee. My Pick, Green Bay 20-17. What Happened, Tennessee 47-25. WOW, this was over in the first quarter. This game made the 9-1 state championship soccer game I was calling simultaneously seem close. Chicago @ (pk) Tampa Bay. My Pick, Tampa Bay 31-20. What Happened, Tampa Bay 36-10. Yet again a reminder to always pick against Jay Cutler on the road. A rule I will go ahead and not follow next week when he visits the Giants. Atlanta @ (pk) Philadelphia. My Pick, Atlanta 34-27. What Happened, Philadelphia 24-15. Did I mention the sports gods hating Cleveland fans? Sure, we got that one championship but it had to be in terms of the 3 major sports, the least historical by Cleveland standards. Every Philly win drives that second first round pick down farther in the draft and will cause the Browns to reach at #1 for a QB that may not deserve to go there. (PICK THE DAMN QB ANYWAY)

Week 10 - 1-4
Overall - 21-28-2
